Custom Scenes
Quote from fluxx on November 16, 2007, 11:09 amHello,
I have created a few custom scenes and am trying to add them to my portal map. I am able to bring them up and playing properly in hammer using the correct objects, but when I load the map and they are triggered I get the message that the game is not finding "scenes/customscene.vcd" and that they are not part of the scene.image.
I have looked over the tutorials on faceposer and importing custom scenes, but I am at a loss on how to solve this problem. I have added a folder for scenes in my portal directly and in the same directory as the map.
Any suggestions would be great.

Just a guess. When you have additional materials, they go here: portal portal materials. So I thought it made sense that the additional scenes wouldn't go in the maps folder.
EDIT: I just noticed that you said you had already tried that. I guess this won't solve your problem then. Sorry.
Cheers,
Nick

Quote from fluxx on November 16, 2007, 9:31 pmIs it possible for someone to post a short step by step tutorial on file placement for custom .vcd files in custom maps? Where are you placing the files after creating them in face poser.
To eliminate other solutions:
I have a properly named actor object in my map.
I have tested with valve created .vcd files and my triggering works properly.
The exact error is two fold: "Scene 'scenescustomscene.vcd' missing!" and "scenes/customscene.vcd missing from scenes.image"
I'm running Faceposer using the Portal game mod from the SDK Tools launcher.
Everything is up to date and all files are validated.
I've placed the scene files in every possible combination of folders and even some very silly ones.

Make sure that your .vcd's are in portal/portal/scenes before doing this.
Hope this helps!
