If I post it in the wrong place ...

Though some time has passed since all this stuff were designed and posted I eventually introduced custom elevator video on the Workshop. Well, since there's no way to pack .bik file into .bsp, I had to think of some workaround for it. Though some people here said that it won't do I still tried to convert video to animated texture. So I took PixeledFace's video, resized and converted every frame into .png image then loaded every second one in VTFEdit and got a .vtf file with about 200 frames and size 17MB (original video is about 6 or 7). Then I edited instances of arrival and departure elevators base having placed a func_brush 1 unit over screens. The result can be seen in my new map "Banzai!!!". The only problem so far is that departure elevator won't disconnect you at the end, but it may have nothing to do with my instances and I was wrong somewhere else.
I attached my stuff if someone is interested to use it or check. Feel free to edit the instances if you have any ideas. If you have any problem with it just PM me and I'll try to help.

make it so that the models FOLDER is put in portal 2/portal2/ so it merges with your current models folder; and for the textures: merge the materials folder from the zip with your own materials folder.

If there are any sub-folders in that's done automatically.

The videos are not showing since the first DLC... Here you can find a fix. About the props not showing, you must have received a yellow message during the compile, check this out; surely you introduced them as prop_static for exammple and they need to be prop_physics or prop_dynamic (you can know what kind of prop you need to use if you check the "Info" tab in the model browser). About the poster and the ratman scrawling, just use the overlay tool to place them into your map as info_overlays.

I quickly threw this BTS style sign... thing... together in photoshop in about 5 minutes. I still have the raw file, so I'll take any suggestions. It has some basic decay to it. Feel free to download and convert it to a vtf and use it if you like it.

It may be nice to put referencing an office area with lots of computers. Maybe even put the hammer editor open in one

Cave Johnson: YOU ARE LATE. WE'RE ALREADY DONE HERE.
Me: Hopefully they'll add this to the pack. This was made probably before we both signed up. (Nah, otherwise, users can VTF it and VMT it themselves).

VTF/VMT: Verb invented by yishbarr. It means to turn an image to a VTF and add a VMT.
