It's finally here, after months and months of getting no where, I've got it at least started. The Portal 2 Pre-release/Beta Pack is a texture, and aesthetic pack that recreates the look and feel of Portal 2 we saw back at E3 2010 - PAX 2010. I've seen a lot of beta/pre-release maps that use the stock textures and looks and it does not do the justice!
What is included?
- New Metal Walls.
- Shinier dirty walls.
- Beta looking Observation rooms.
- Portal 1 Observation Rooms.
- Beta light strips.
- Green Goo
- Screenshot samples
- Portal 1 Button Switch
- Vscripts that swap out the Portal 2 turret and Portal 2 Button switch to the Portal 1 version.
- 2 Example maps by Kyo and Me.
- Whirls for the Portals. (Need VPK override)
- Different glass texture for the Portal Door. (Need VPK override)
(NOTE: I still need someone to find a way to get the sick figure to show on the portal door. He is in the model itself, but the glass texture needs to only show him.)
Q & A
Q: Why did you do this? There is a reason why Valve changed stuff.
A: Because I'm one of those people who love what Valve does not release a tad more on what they do end up shipping. I'm sure there are mappers who feel the same way.
Q: Is this an override?
A: No, it's separate. All the textures are under the folder "betapack". To ship your map, just pakrat (or include) that folder, and the models and material/models folders included.
Q: Does it include instances?
A: Yes
Q: Does it include the vmf of the sample maps?
A: No
Q: Can I help with anything?
A: Sure, feel free to contribute to anything and I'll add it to this package.
Special thanks to Kyo for testing the pack and allowing me to ship the map with this!
