The link still seems to connect to version 0.1.0.

Wow! That was...uh, yeah. Just, yeah.

I have no idea what's up, I uploaded it but it's not taking, it keeps using an older version as the new one.

Did you actually change the filename?

Wow! That was...uh, yeah. Just, yeah.

Still not the updated version.

EDIT: sorry about the double post.

Wow! That was...uh, yeah. Just, yeah.

Ok, I think it's finally worked.

For version 1.2, how about making the name of the element show up under the picture of the element so that we don't have to open the key. It would also mean that when we go to print the puzzle out, the key is included within the puzzle. Also might be nice if we could add our own elements to the program. That second one is less important then the captions within the puzzle.

EDIT: Also, technically the energy ball launcher and catcher are Portal elelments, not Portal 2 elements.

I can't do that, because of two reasons:

A. It wouldn't fit.
B. To get scrolling images I had to hack a bit, which means text won't draw properly.

Custom elements I might be able to do, i'll look into it.

And yes they are, but they are useable in Portal 2. (Rocket turrets are bugged and noone uses the scaffold...)

You don't have to make the image scroll. How would the text not fit directly under the image of the element? Just make the space a little bigger and you can put the name directly under the image tile.

Thank you.

The scaffold has just not found a use in Portal 2 yet. Also, the turret can be fixed if anyone cared to do so.

Let me rephrase:

The way the image currently works requires the image being scrollable (try making a big puzzle (100+ elements) and you'll see why) and because i'm drawing it, not using java's usual GUI antics, I can't add text. (and again it wouldn't fit even if I could, it's just too small, stuff would overwrite each other)

It's true, it hasn't been used, which is why it's p1-only. The turret actually HAS been fixed, but not in multiplayer. In coop it's permanently broken (it doesn't seek targets at all, even when given one)

To be honest I don't think you should really put much more time in this :(
DLC 2 is right around the corner and the fast drag and drop makes drafting puzzles really really easy. Sorry :(
