My colleague who does all the level design (I do the html for the site and make tea) has done this on one of his levels. I suggest you also post your query on www.tombraider-customlevels.fsnet.co.uk then goto "ask us a question"

Though I'm not 100% sure, I'm afraid that the solution I've been using for the past couple of weeks is actually the only way to do it (please, someone, correct me if I'm wrong):

Instead of just having the rooms side by side, make a door from one room to the other; then, in the top-left window, select the doorway, and click on "Toggle Opacity"; you can now texture the doorway.

I'm always confusing "Toggle Opacity" and "Toggle Opacity 2", so you'll have to do a CTRL-F in the manual to check which on to use... one allows you to make a textured doorway through which you can walk, the other allows you to make a textured doorway which can NOT be passed...

Make sure the textures you apply use the purple color on those places where you want them to be transparent.

Best regards,
Striffelbuur.

Thanx a lot, Striffelbuur. Although I had tried doing this before, i hadn't realized that one of the "Toggle Opacity"s didn't allow you to go through I'll be sure to give it a try.

One minor addition.

depending on what you are trying to do. You will need to togle opacity on both sides or you will be able to walk through from one side but not the other.

Also be careful about the double sided option. If you use double sided from both sides, you can get some strange effects.

In general you would want togle opacity, single sided for window effects.
