question about map loading with console commands
Hello,
my question is about loading a workshop map with the console commands. If I want to play a workshop map and steam is in offline mode, there is no chance to load it via the in-game browser.
In the steam forums I read about the possibility to load a specific level with the console commands "map" or "changelevel". One should put the downloaded workshop level "NAME.bsp" from the folder portal2mapsworkshop to portal2maps and then execute it with one of these commands, e.g. map NAME.
But when I load a map with this methode, the video sequences at the beginning and voice acting are missing.
As an example, I loaded the map "Original Portal: Test Chamber 01" from Fat Ninja Walrus.
When I execute the map I get the following console messages:
- Code: Select all
] map 1336584979
CGameUIConVarRef mp_gamemode doesn't point to an existing ConVar
maxplayers set to 1

There are many error messages in this output and I think there is something missing to load the map correctly.
Here are some pictures of this map started once from browser and next from console:

Can anyone help me in this case?
Thank you in advance!

The advice in the steam forums you found seems about right.
Playing on the workshop vs the `map` command has different effects because of certain scripts/game code being executed before play. The starter video, voices lines and test chamber monitor are all generated when you play the map from the workshop (they are not influenced by the map maker in any way). Finishing the level won't bring up the voting dialog.
I don't see any way round this, sorry.
