I seem to have a problem with your fgd

The most noticeable one is the cube destroying itself when it touches anything,

Is anyone else having this problem, or am I doing something wrong?

I am willing to bet it's because there is not "lit" box in the fgd? because it disappears about the point it would become lit on the button.

Cubes now work, and you can choose their type (which is hard-coded to change their model!) in the SmartEdit. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1085379/p2_draft.fgd

I'm still working on floor_buttons, they don't want to play nicely, and they still eat cubes (though not monster boxes).

Does anyone know how I can get hammer to launch portal 2?

It's much more efficient imo if you just keep Portal 2 open. If you're doing compiles frequently they shouldn't be very "big" compiles, and then you don't have to go through the rigermerole of waiting for the game to load, testing the map, closing the game, etc.

change path to different game executable in the options menu?

There is a way but I'd just keep it open, and then load map after compiling

I don't mind the loading but the copying of the map is getting annoying.

Great. When compiling in expert mode I get:

Valve Software - vbsp.exe (Aug  4 2010)
2 threads

Finished. Press a key to close.

Is the aerial faith plate in the FGD? If so, what's the ent name?

trigger_catapult, the actual faith plate is a prop_dynamic which is told to animate when the trigger activates.

Wait , are there two .fgds going about?
Gah , this is going to be confusing

Mine is the only one I'm aware of... I'm just updating it a lot.

Buttons now work with collisions, so that's them done. I'm going to find tractor beam reversal, and co-op entities now. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1085379/p2_draft.fgd

[Netsc]

Alright, i can't work it out, someone fancy writing a brief tutorial on how to set up aerial faith plates?
also, does anyone have the model name of those floor lights that are in the test chambers?

I started mine before you did but that's ok because I don't mind competition and besides it's all for the good of the mapping community, although it would be better if we could get in contact over Steam and maybe work together for a more complete fgd.

dual posted:

did you do what the console says? check if there even is a folder or file

The file is there, but since I "accidently" saved it as a .vmf file it couldn't find it. Because my compiler only wants to compile files without a file type.

Can someone please explain to me, why the hell it does that?

There's a Paint type option, which either has a drop down list or you can set to a number between 0-3 to set the gel type.

Sorry, didn't notice. Anyways, I still do think we could work faster if we did it together.

Finished my first fully functional Portal 2 puzzle today. Might add a second room/some sort of ending later, the door just leads to a small hallway.

Also, would someone mind explaining how to get the dynamic shadows with projected textures? I don't know how that works.

[noladu95]

"dynamic shadows with projected textures"
enable shadow,
shadow quality : high

flags : enabled and always...

Thats very good idea.
You should work together.

Can someone explain to me if i load a custom map when playing coop, does the other player need the map aswell? Also, is it possible to play on a coop map by yourself without a partner?

Anyone who's using my FGD, co-op entities are now added.

iirc from the creator of the SP co-op maker, no.

second question, try typing map (co-op map here)

Is there any way you can give env_portal_laser a name and a enable and disable input?

How about laser checkpoints? It's a little annoying having to use pink and black sprites for them.

Well they have TurnOn and TurnOff at the moment.
