Elevator Videos Fixed - Brainstones Hardcoded Instances v1.1
EDIT(IMPORTANT:) I have just discovered (thanks to sleter) that the elevator videos behave differently AGAIN when your map is uploaded to the workshop. (Damn VALVE) The Problem is now fixed. I have also merged the arrival logic and the arrival base as I have merged the departure logic and the departure base; that was unfortunately a must because of the nature of this very annoying problem. Currently you can have entry_elevator_UP and exit_elevator_UP in your map. Entry_elevator_DOWN and exit-elevator_DOWN will be added shortly. You MUST redownload this instance, because your elevator video screens will always play the default video as soon as they are uploaded to the workshop. (Unless you delete the entity "video_script" inside your logic elevator instance. In my custom logic elevators, this is already the case, so you will probably have this problem only in your arrival elevator.) Thank you for your understanding. ---------------------------------- Aren't you tired of VALVE destroying elevator videos with the new DLC? Aren't you tired of editing scripts for map transitions? And then packing them into bsp, what doesn't work? Do you really expect every under-age-12 downloader to be smart and not lazy enough to copy several of your scripts in the right location of his PC? Do you want to display chapter titles? Do you sometimes wish to have free choice over whether your Portal Gun can shoot the orange Portal and whether it carries PoTAToeS or not? Do you want a map transition that works, when the player si not in the PeTI? All this is now accesible to you, thanks to Brainstone's Hardcoded Instance Collection --------------------------------------- 1. BrainstoneEntryTransition Delete the standard arrival_departure_transition for this to work. Possibilities to choose: $canShootOrangePortal $PortalgunHasNoPotatoe $chapterTitle $chapterSubtitle $chapterTitleColour (e.g. 255 100 255) $chapterSubtitleColour $EnableChapterTitle $EnableChapterSubtitle 2. BSHC_entry_elevator_UP $video 100% functioning 3. BSHC_exit_elevator_UP $video $newmapname $disablePTIVoteDiag (If you are playing in the PeTI AND want to vote, there is no other option than let the player click the "next map" button to create a transition. However, this always transitions the player to $newmapname when he plays not in PETI)
(Instances) Extra Elevator Instances
This is my first time uploading a file to thinkingwithportals. If I forgot anything, let me know. You ever look inside the turbine_elevator folder in the instances folder and browse through the elevator vmfs. To find that for the departure elevators, Valve only has the fixed one going up and the destructed one going down? What if you are making an overgrown style map but want your exit elevator to go up? This is where this comes in. Supplied in the zip archive, you will find 2 extra elevator bases. One that is destructed and goes up and one that is fixed and goes down.
Chamber Sign Maker

Bumbleball - 'living' test element
This is the newest test element of the Aperture Laboratories after an idea of Moth. This is not just a ball, it's a bumbleball. This means it jumps, bounces and even moves... if you don't watch it! In this pack there are 4 instances: -A normal sphere button specialized for the bumbleballs, not useable with other objects. -the single bumbleball -droppers for bumbleballs, dirty and clean If the bumbleball is outside of the players view it will bounce around every 2. second. It will make a distinctive sound when bouncing so the player can hear it. When on a button, the ball won't bounce, move or whatever. The .PSD file for custom textures is added. You can make up to 16 skins (value 15 in Hammer Editor). If you want to paint it, it will get colored but wont jump or glide. Thats because its a normal prop_physics. Prop_physics_paintable is not recommended because it will get the paint settings, but wont get any visible paint color. To dissolve the ball, for example in water, FireUser4 on it.
