You are a test subject in the Aperture Science lab who winds up in another "puzzling" situation. You are also in a race against an ever wicked "test dungeon master" trying to make life hard and success a relative term. What's up with GLaDOS anyway ? Has she gone mad ? She had the cooperative testing initiative yet choses to let you break your heart and head over an inanimate companion testing element time and again. This is what you'll be getting: Solve 7 new maps full of puzzle elements Fully voiced GLaDOS by MissyChrissy (anglsummer4 on youtube) Companion elements (cube & sphere) Custom in-game media (video's and icons by TigerboyPT) Build 2.0: THE CORE RELOADED now live on the workshop! Due to the newer PTI integration, the "mod" version up to 1.1c will no longer work correctly, Therefor I recommend to not download the mod on this forum any longer but go to the following link: http://steamcommunity.com/workshop/file ... =117081702 There, you can subscribe to all maps and they'll be automaticly downloaded to your game. This update to the campaign fixes numerous issues, updates visual layout and inclujdes workshop compatibility where you can vote on the individual maps. Hotfixed build 1.1c: May 2012 Because Valve updated Portal 2 with a new dlc, they changed some internal resource file requirements which broke the main menu of my mod. I fixed this for build 1.1c. No other fixes were made. Patch 1.1b: minor fix: Fixed GLaDOS announcement triggering multiple times in bonus map. Patch 1.1 updates and fixes: General: custom signs are now self illuminated All maps now have correct reflections (cubemaps) improvements in some map detail design trough-out the levels updated essential mod file to support directx 8 fixed exit doors not closing behind the player in some maps (except for the nightmare elevator) Installer package now fetches for sourcemod dir in the windows registry Chapters now also show their titles in-game Map 1: (chapter 1: Angular Reality) replaced bts arms in sky-box with decoration lights to optimize performance on low memory bandwidth video cards More "ratman den" decoration to make it look less dull Map 2: (Chapter 2: A New Companion) moved back the catwalk which is sometimes blocking start catapult movement direction fixed further texture misalignments BTS decoration arm lights were pointing the wrong way Map 3: (Chapter 3: The Shrine) prevented placement of portals outside the shrine until THE CORE is removed from the altar redesigned the top of the shrine room fixed misaligned ceiling texture near gel and excursion funnel area jump panels of the second room now activate when the player enters fixed some Z-fighting props in the jump room BTS area fixed unfinished look of blobulator spawn area above the gel dropper made the pneumatic diversity exit vent more responsive to THE CORE puzzle indicators for tractor beam will now match it's direction color New puzzle in the shrine Map 4: (Chapter 4: Deadly Intermezzo) extruded glass near "bowling turret" to reduce the chance of blockages when it's tippled over reworked some brushwork in maze area removed ability to place portals in maze area to avoid players skipping the maze entirely Map 5: (Chapter 5: Euthanazation Vault) decorated the jump hall with extra brushwork and models fixed env_projectedtexture core goodbye line should be a triggered once only texturized laser power control room interior in case that players portal in there prevented players from going trough the tractor beam generator prop sanitized the puzzle around the tractor beam alcove with an escape platform and emancipation grill Map 6:: (Chapter 6: CatapultClysm) added bonus map- Map 7: (Chapter 7: Round Tangent) added extra models and brushwork to prevent players spotting the ceiling of the right side entry bts area when crouched. prevented "cutting the race" glitch by replacing core receptacle tube piece with an iris overhauled design of the small test room for a less dull look and removed shallow water areas fixed small room exploit where players could jump & hop the core inside the glass window without having to fling it fixed ability to place a portal on the second fling platform for the CORE race puzzle changed main test room acid texture to the correct deadly slime look corrected misaligned light spots on the exit hatch area removed map prototype GLaDOS power off event in exit area placed exit hatch override in case the player manages to "forget" THE CORE and left it being on the race exit socket gave breakable glass a visually broken style so it seems more obvious that you can break it. fixed succeeded wallprojector puzzle indicators showing unsolved state for the sphere when it is put into the socket for a second time- INSTALLATION NOTES: Unpack this archives WITH DIRECTORIES INTACT in the following folder "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\sourcemods" So to be clear, the thecore directory goes inside this directory. Your sourcemods directory should now look like this "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\sourcemods\thecore\" with subdirs like bin, materials, models etc... If you have a previous installation, just overwrite everything with the new files. Restart steam for the mod to become visible in your games list. Uninstall notes: To elimitate every trace of my campaign from your portal2 dir, delete: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\sourcemods\thecore\" and restart steam.

My Entry for the ThinkingWithPortals Summer Mapping Initiative! -INSTALLATION- Place the maps folder under steamapps/common/portal 2/portal2. If it asks to overwrite say yes, you won't lose anything. -TO PLAY- Once installed, in game open the developer console (`) and type "map sp_grox_dis_en", then hit enter. If your just playing, you can delete the mapsrc folder as that is only for the competition and not required to play. -SPECIAL THANKS TO:- -Portal2Player -Omnicoder -Smasher -Fearlezz -Motanum -T3X -JonhBigOz -and everyone else who helped me with my map who I may have forgotten! (sorry bout that)

My collection of items for the BEE2. These items mainly are rearranged or special versions of existing items. Some help is available in the right-click info panel, but consult the Readme for full instructions. All non-logic items are fully styled for all the default styles. It is compatible with Radelite's addons, providing styled versions for the Ratman Style. This includes my Refurbished Style, a hybrid of Clean and 1950s style similar to the Coop Course 5. I also have a modified version of 1980s style, with a damaged Enrichment Sphere showing the surrounding Test Shaft. I now have an Overgrown Style, replicating the dilapidated Aperture seen in the first few levels of the singleplayer campaign. There is also a debug Unlocked style to allow adding or deleting the mandatory entry/exits and observation rooms. Be careful with this! Thanks to Skotty (High Energy Pellets, Bumbleballs and Catapult Cubes), Moth(Bumbleballs), SoundLogic(Catapult Cubes) and PortalCombat (Sphere Cannon) for creating the original versions of some items, which I have made PTI compatible and restyled. You'll need 7-zip to extract the archive. See the GitHub repository for WIP items, styles and changes. I don't advise using these files unless you are willing to have your maps break.

(Typo!) - Fixed crash in P1 Coop if cubes are present in the map. - Clean Style Fizzlers should now retract properly if they didn't before. - Black texture added behind fizzler, so they look nicer on white walls. * v43: - Improved Overgrown style observation rooms, the sound should be quieter and the flickering can be completely disabled by turning off "start enabled" in the large observation room. - The overgrown style elevator screens are less random, they match Cave's PTI dialogue (If you heard them all, the video screens will be random). - Overgrown Turrets are twitchy now. - Changed style of Refurbished lights. - Fixed bug with Overgrown track platform rails. * v42: - Fixed Overgrown reflection cube packing. - Fixed floating cubes on Overgrown piston platforms. - Added custom model for P1 styled storage cubes, companion cubes, spheres, pedestal buttons and laserfields. - New custom Overgrown style glass. - Better P1 style crusher, piston platform and buttons. - Custom indicator lights for P1 style, to make them appear smaller. * v41: - All Valve+BEE1+HMW items finished for Overgrown Style. - Coop exits done. * v40: - Added first version of Overgrown Style, featuring a heavily damaged Aperture overgrown with plants. This is not finished, some items remain clean styled, and Coop exit corridors haven't been styled yet. - A quote list has been added to describe how the extra quotes in the various styles are picked. - Neurotoxin vents have been modified to be cheaper; the activation radius is now only visible in the editor. - Neurotoxin will permanently shut off when players get inside the exit door. - Added update checker to the readme. When the next update is released, the readme will show a message (only when actually open). * v39: - Added files for some checkpoint instances. - Adjusted lighting in P1 Style Checkpoint, and changed droppers to use P1 style versions (both checkpoints). - Added the second door for P1 Style Chamberlocks (Whoops.) - Checkpoints will not close their front door if an object is placed between it and the fizzler. - Players will slide off of the camera in Refurbished Small Observation Rooms. (Prevents cheating puzzles). - Changed something with Companion Cubes[/spoiler] Earlier changelogs
