Portal 2 (Other files)
Miscellaneous Portal 2 mods, assets, tools, and non-map downloads.
VRAD Lighting Skipper
A quick and dirty program to help dramatically reduce build times in PETI. This program is currently Unsupported as I am working on a far more powerful tool that will include the functionality of the Lighting Skipper.

[TOOL] A Propper MOD
This is a very useful tool for mappers, mainly if you haven't got any modelling knowledge. This tool will allow you to make models out of brushes; create whatever thing into your Hammer editor by means of only brushes and then turn it quick and easily into a custom model usable in game! Propper is not new at all, many of you know about it already. I even wrote a tutorial some time ago... But since I know many of you are having trouble in making it to work out after some Valve updates and the new SteamPipe file system, I've decided to share this little mod I managed to prepare some time ago mounted in the Alien Swarm game and as a mod. I borrowed TopHatWaffle's batch file altogether with the required binary files from his awesome tutorial some time ago, and edited it a bit for my purposes. So credit goes to him before anything.

Cube Inductance
This was an idea I had after seeing the "shake flashlight". This is a generator which uses the "infinite fall" technique with a cube or sphere to activate an object, i.e. open a door. The instance requires a fairly tall room as it is 512 high by 128 wide by 128 deep. Try it out and let me know what you think of it.
Portal 2 Beta styled vac tubes.
These are hexed vactube alternate models that have the un-textured frames, much like they did in the april 2010 game informer and valve's original meet wheatley trailer for portal 2. You may use these in any map that you want to look more like p2's beta, but please give me (tile) credit in your map (and let me know you made a map with my stuff in it, too, because i love seeing my work put to good use!)
Co-op tube ride sequence
This is an instance that when triggered causes a sequence in which Blue, Orange or both go flying through a set of vents, like the one that leads to and from the 'DLC room' in the hub. To activate it you need a trigger_playerteam that will tell the instance what sequence to start (Blue/Orange; Long/Short) and to enable/disable the trigger_teleports. You should also place two trigger_teleports - one for Orange and one for Blue. these should be enabled when the corresponding bot arrives and disabled when he leave's the trigger_playerteam brush. There are four alternate remote destinations for these brushes: @orange_tuberide_long_teleport_trigger @orange_tuberide_short_teleport_trigger @blue_tuberide_long_teleport_trigger @blue_tuberide_short_teleport_trigger You can also have up to four point_teleport entities, from these the player will re-appear in the map after the sequence: @orange_tuberide_long_teleport_trigger2 @orange_tuberide_short_teleport_trigger2 @blue_tuberide_long_teleport_trigger2 @blue_tuberide_short_teleport_trigger2 YOU MUST NAME THESE ENTITIES APPROPRIATELY, otherwise the instance won't work properly. Hope you'll make the best out of it, I'm sure I will.
Core Socket Example

TLFS Interactive Computer Mechanic
Due some recent stuff i decided to release this, i realized that was stupid from my part hold this only for myself =D. (besides, even that taken me months to figure out how to do it, in reality is not to hard to imagine how it works, so if you want to see how i did here it is =D) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- !!IT'S NOT AN INSTANCE!! Recommended for people that have a more advanced knowledge in hammer. (i will try to do an tutorial, but if someone do first i will be very thankful, because i'm not a very good teacher XD) FILE CONTAINS -. BSP to see how it is compiled - The necessary textures (for you to have an reference for do it your own) - VMF for you study how it works i will be glad if you put my name in the credits if you use =P
Underground styled test elements
These are instances for underground themed versions of: * laser * light bridge * tractor beam all of which are FULLY underground themed, NOT just the modern stuff re-colored and surrounded with old styled textures, meaning that no modern aperture stuff is visible in any of these outside of hammer. Please give any feedback, and credit me if you use these! thanks. Caden wrote:Screenshots of these instances in action. pics [spoiler] [/spoiler]
FlipCounter Instance (and vmf example)
I made this instance for my map and I managed to make it pretty much user friendly so I decided to share it. So it's basically a flip counter that goes from 0 up to 9(and loops) every time you trigger it. All you need to do is to put it as an instance and name it how you want. Trigger it with anything you want. And also you have a parameter for a starting value. Put any number from 0-9 and that will be the default number when the map spawns. I was having troubles getting the instance to return the value so it can trigger something else so I just figured a way to do that outside the instance with just one math_counter and one logic_case. It's all included in the example vmf. It looks pretty cool, I used panel animation to make the flipping look nicer. Although I wanted to make a real flipcounter where every number is split in half, but that would require twice as many brushes and 10 times a many patience .. it look cool enough Use it however you want, it's my gift to the community. Would be nice to credit me wherever you use it, but I'm not gonna hunt you if you don't
