Code:

textures/whatever/shinyfloor 
{

qer_editorimage textures/whatever/shinyfloor.tga 
portal 
{
map textures/common/mirror1.tga 
blendfunc GL_ONE GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA 
depthWrite
} 
{
map textures/whatever/shinyfloor.tga 
blendFunc blend 
rgbGen identity
}

you'll need a portal shader for the floor, and a camera entity i believe

Hi everybody I got it, just needed the misc_portal_surface, It is something like make a mirror on the floor.

If you're going for a shiny textured surface like marble, you might get away with taking a screenshot from below and mapping that as an environment layer into the shader. It'll save you lots of performance and you can make the room a lot more complicated without being bogged down. If there's enough texture left (surface not perfectly mirroring) then it'll look just as convincing. It also has the advantage that it still works even when people use fastsky (which turns off portal surfaces). Just a thought.

There's also the fake reflection alternative where you make a simple lowresolution textured portion of the highlights above the floor, upside down, under the floor, and make the floor texture use an alpha texture. Several 6th gen console games use this technique.
