• Portal: Removing the portal borders.

Hi I was wondering if it is possible to "remove" the orange and blue portal effects so that the portals appear as just a hole in the wall?
I'd believe so, changing the textures of the portals to make them transparent.

You can remove the particles if you want, but it would still have a border.

-tools in the command line to run the game in Tool mode. It should have a particle editor.
