Faith-Plate-Cube
This is a Faith Plate in a Aperture Cube, requested by Soundlogic. In this pack you got the model (uses already existing materials) and an instance for good use. The model itself has 4 animations and normal physics (I recommend to use the instance/use it as parent to a normal cube). The animations are: idle sprung (jump, up and down in one animation) -> sound included hoch (up) -> sound included runter (down) The instance itself allows you to set the distance of the target point from the cube center (because it uses a trigger_catapult), the physics and player speed. Inputs are Autofire enable and disable, means autocatapult enable and disable. You can use, while being disabled, the Fire input to let it catapult.
Advanced Conveyor Belt (Portal2)
This is how Valve made proper conveyor belts in the game section 'turret manufacturing' It consists of eighteen func_tracktrains, with individually attached prop_dynamic belt sections which move the player and objects. VMF and BSP are included for you to examine and edit any way you see fit. Hopefully this will help to explain how it was done, and how you can do it for yourself
Portal 1 Door Instance
Well, for anyone who wants a door like those from portal 1, HERE IT IS!!! It opens! It closes! It can be used to seperate areas without using the normal door and confusing idiots! NEW!!! Now it even sounds like a door!! Just chuck it in the map and send it an input, like any instance. Feel free to open it up and stuff round with it, I don't care. Oh and before you start whigning YES it is a portal 2 frame, the portal 1 frame doesnt have the correct skin. And quite frankly I couldnt be bothered getting it from the portal 1 files.
Core Socket Example
Core_socket.mdl usage example. Connect Wheatley to activate some of the testing elements.
150 HD Portal Photos 1+2
(For desktop Backgrounds/ Screensavers) Thanks to all those who supplied great portal 2 pictures! Although I am not very good at maps, I like making videos and collections!
fixed Rocket Turret
Maybe you missed the Portal 1 rocket turrets, discovered them in your game but saw "Oh, they are bugged!". In this pack, there are the models, materials and sounds you need for the rocket turret. 2 instances are delivered for using it in Hammer. The missing sounds are just hearable if you put them in a VPK file in your addons folder. How to create a VPK: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wik ... rtal_2_Map The $MissileSpeed has a default of 450. If you keep ??? it will use this speed. Never rotate the instance! Always keep it's angles 0 0 0! Make sure ALWAYS to place ONE "rocket_turret_missile.vmf" in the CENTER (coordinate 0 0 0) in your map! Extra missiles are needed because the original NPC fires missiles with a speed of 0 (thats the bug they have). Make sure to release the materials, models and sounds together with your map!
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.
VPK Extract in DLC Custom.
------------------------------------------------- VPK Extract in DLC Custom. (Original Project http://www.tarados.com) By CaRLyMx STEAM: http://steamcommunity.com/id/carlymx Current Version: v1.0 FINAL [UPDATE: 11-11-2011] ------------------------------------------------- Problems with VPKs since Update to 1 DLC "Portal 2"? Tired of messing lod directories "Portal 2" with the content of VPKs? You do not know what to be cleared? The solution while Valve does not fix the problem is to create a Custom DLC, and enter into the content of VPKs. Here you have what it takes. instructions: 1. Copy the contents of the RAR in the Root of the Game. 2. Extract the contained; of VPKs into the "portal2_dlc9" as if the directory "portal2" is involved. Use "GCFScape.exe" in TOols Directori. 3. Logging into the game, open the console and locate the map. 4. play * You can try a map made by me. xDD PSICODELIA Test One v1.3 ** This is not a solution, is a little trick, hopefully Valve the big problem resolved soon. -----------------------------------
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.
