Alright, so I've been trying to get portals and vis areas to work for quiet some time, and am just getting frustrated and fed up with them, not working, or not working correctly.
Problems that I'm having is still having everything disappear within the tunnels while looking into them, sometimes when you look around inside the tunnel your whole screen will be black, and having characters/objects inside the tunnel be completely black.

Pictures are a bit big, so I'll just link.

I've looked at Crymod for anything on correctly doing them, and I've found nothing.

You have to overlap the portals on the visarea ends. Like have the visarea go in the middle of the portal area.

Are you talking about something like this?

That's all my friend over skype could really tell me.

yes exactly, the one to the right is correct.

I've been doing it like that and it still does the same thing that I get. There's two results I get from doing it like that picture, I either get the tunnel pieces still disappearing after a certain distance, or I get a completely black tunnel, where everything inside is also black and still disappearing from a distance.

Anyone know how?
Or do a tutorial on portals and vis areas?
'Cause I still cannot find how to make this work properly or find anything anywhere else.
