My. God.


The compilers errors I was getting the past few days was for using the NODRAW texture to "paint" the back of my world brushes. While having the "portal2" keyword enabled.

Basically, when you have the "portal2" keyword and then you type "nodraw" in the filter, you get a NODRAW-like texture... which is actually called "tools/toolsnodraw_glass_footsteps" which is a translucent material, therefore not valid as a world seal for BSP.


Really...
If anyone has gone through the same **** as me I hope this post will be useful.

That explains the problems in my old map I was making, then I stopped because of this problem. :smith:

Welp, just another thing to remember.

What kind of prop do I need to make something to make it able to be picked up, or at least fall when its dropped? I'm trying to get the potato trophy to fall from a door, and prop_physics doesn't like me

[Gabe Newell]

You mean 24 seconds in? Unless you were talking about an infinite fall

No,I am using v4,but I just copied that faith plate from coop map,no more editing,just putted it in place.

here is my map,where it works.
There is some "????" flag in catapult,because Valve have real Portal 2 fgd,so they have all flags.
So its different if you create it in Alien swarm,or copy it from Valve map.

Does anyone have a list of how to change the cube type on prop_weighted_cube?

Before I uploaded v5 mine were working so I must have messed something up on mine

Check the FGD thread on the mapping section, the zip includes an example map with all the cubes on it. I'll do a minor update later today with a new vmf that includes plates and box droppers as well.

You do, actually. Everything in the trailer was seen in-game somewhere.

[Haski]

Has anyone made a challenging map yet.

[NanoSquid]

I probably missed this, but how do you solve the "Map with no planes" error?

Can you send me a copy of your fgd?

So you need old version? I will upload it if you need

I think the trailer had them use one portal gun split but other than that its all in game.

When I get my hands on the official SDK, the first thing I'm going to do is make more 50s chambers. I, personally, loved the style of them.

For now, I'ma just play around.

[saddasta]

What's the "Skybox" typically used for broken areas with holes through the roof? When you look through them there's nothing but white light, but what would that texture be called?

[LilRobot]

Hey Jessecar, do you think you could add a tut on how to make a co-op spawn to the Wiki?

[strnadik]

I was going to make that but there is no animation that is used for the ceiling.

[redBadger]

Anyone know how to make the large sphere surrounding all the old test chambers? Is it a model or a brush-based structure?

[Jessecar96]

Its model
models/props_underground/geodome_interior_4096.mdl

Edit : Agh,as Jessecar said,its multiple same models,hard to connect.
I will upload prefab in few minutes

[redBadger]

Thanks for the assist.

What if you raise the celling then the walls fold down?

Oh,I almost forgot, here is that old FGD

Anyone have a prefab of the *new* box dropper? The one included in the FGD's pack is the old-fashioned one..
Scratch that, I forgot I could select by objects..

[redBadger]

Does anyone have a decompiled 'old aperture' test chamber map I can borrow?

[Jessecar96]

Making Co-Op spawns is hard...

[GameDev]

Didn't someone make a prefab for a co-op spawn?

Use BSPSource,it works fine.

After reading this thread I decided to make my own map.

My only problem is. I can't figure out how to "put" a portal - able surface on a existing wall instead of creating a plate in front of it, so you can create portals on one area while the other part is nonPortal. Or could I just simply remove a PART of the Wall?

I don't want to delete the Wall :saddowns:

It wouldn't give that big feeling if there is a ceiling.

Edited:

Somebody give me an idea for something involving a lot of panels.

Just change model to "models/props_backstage/item_dropper.mdl"
If you dont mean that Old Aperture Inovators dropper,it have different function.
