Portal 2 (Other files)
Miscellaneous Portal 2 mods, assets, tools, and non-map downloads.
Alexander's Bomb Dropper Instance
This is a bomb dropper I made, its pretty good (although I don't know how to make a brush pitch black, if you tell me how I'll add a thin pitch black brush to it so it doesn't look like the bomb is coming from the ceiling). Pretty simple, and if you replace your cube_sphere p2editor instance with this (and re name it cube_sphere), you should be able to use it in the PTI.
Glass Light Instance (No leaking light)
This glass light instance works with 8 thick walls by default, but is easy to modify for whatever thickness walls you want. You can also change the intensity and warmth/coolness inside the instance to fit your needs, as it is currently a neutral light. The point of this glass light instance is to avoid light leaking through and around brushes when using glass lights.
Opposite linkage instance
Opposite linkage is a special mode for Portal 2 Cooperation game, in which players' portals are switched, i.e. ATLAS primary portal is connected to P-body's secondary, and vice versa. Because I don't have time to create maps and I don't want to abandon my hard work I decided to release an instance which I created for this project community-releases/mp-coop-opposite-linkage-first-map-t5873.html . You can modify this file and reupload it, but please credit me (DerpVulpes, a.k. arek_91) as an author.

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.
ML's Angry Hover Turret
This is my personal version of the scrapped Hover Turret that didn't make it in Portal 2. It floats in the air while tracking the player with a laser and has two turrets equipped that remain motionless (except when firing). The only way to destroy the turrets is to burn them with the laser, picking up the turrets will NOT work. To activate the Angry Hover Turret properly, trigger the logic_relay with a trigger or something. It is best to copy and paste the Angry Hover Turret rather than loading it as an instance. Known issues: 1)While trying to rotate the Angry Hover Turret, the func_tank that tracks the player may end up firing the laser in another direction. When this happens, simply rotate the func_tank (the clip box) 90, 180, 270, etc degrees until it lines up properly. This takes some trial and error testing but it's not a big deal. 2) When using the reflection cube with the Angry Hover Turrets laser beam, sometime the laser will not reflect in it's current position.
Character Selection Room
A Character Select instance to allow the player to pick which character they play with
Reflection Gel Particles
Modified particles for reflection gel splats. Must be added into the particles manifest like so: Copy, then put two slashes in front of, the lines for the old paintsplat particle files: //"precache" "paint_bomb_fx.pcf" //"precache" "paint_splats_fx.pcf" Paste, and add _new to the ends of, and ! to the fronts of, the new filenames. You need to have a fixed reflection gel blob texture for this to work!
Customizable Box Droppers
These box droppers reduce all of the box dropper stuff in instances/gameplay into just a handful of instances. Place a dropper instance, give it the name of a special cube instance, and you're good to go! Note: there's a vscript involved, so using FudgePacker with this is a good idea. The Faith Cube also will glitch unless you have Skotty's Catapult Cube model.
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)
