Making a Mod
I'm new to portal mapping and modding... I made some shitty maps yet, but... I can't make a mod! I'm doing what this says http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki ... Portal_Mod
But, in this part I have problems:
When I open source SDK, it doesn't have "Orange Box" in engine versions! Just Source Engine 2009! And when I select Source Engine 2009, there's not my mod name, only the normal games from Orange Box!
What I do?!
Orange Box is Source 2009, that article should probably be updated.
But as for why your mod isn't showing up, that I'm not sure. Are you restarting the Source SDK window? You may have to do that.

WTF... seriously, the tutorial, was wrong. Someone must change it... it replaces the portal config with your mod config... but you must create a new config for your mod only... I made this and now everything's working! THANKS, lol.
Cool, glad you got it sorted out.

You do have to do this. It is how Valve set it up. I think the tutorial was written by a valve employee.

Nah, that entire tutorial is written terribly and has a lot of unnecessary stuff going on. It's as simple as making a new folder in Sourcemods with the proper gameinfo.txt.
Hey guys, there's another problem...
I'm trying to make the first testchamber of my mod, but I can't make the map works... and I can't find the correct tutorials at the wiki...
1- My wake-up bed isn't working... the sound effect of the bed cover opening occurs before it really opens, and chell don't wake up in the correct place... she wake directly on the bed, what make chell teleports in front of the it...
2- I don't know how to make GLaDOS talk. I tried to do what this link says http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki ... aDOS_speak but it didn't worked... is there other simply way to make she talks?
3- How I make a portal frame, where portals are made automatically, before you get the portal gun, like in the wake-up area on portal?
4- How do I modify the scene files?
5- How do I descompile original portal maps to edit them? I think I would learn much more if I could see how them were made!
And here is my map for download, in case you want to see what I did wrong:

Oh crap, yeah. I just read through that tutorial, it is horrible. Anyone that knows how to make a mod properly should fix that. ( I don't know, otherwise I would do it)
Well, how I edit the wiki, because I realised how to start making the mod, I just can't make maps yet...
