Need a few people to test the map pack for me
Extract it into the portal folder and everything should go into its proper sub directory.
I need feedback on two things, specifically, as well as any errors you encounter:
Whether Shmitz's map has the proper voice-overs (from GLaDOS). It was only working erratically on my computer, but I think that may be a local problem.
Whether you get "Node graph out of date ... Rebuilding" messages when you load any of the maps. I tried to include those in the zip, but I'm not sure if Portal will treat them as legit for some bizzare reason.Thanks.
BTW, what does "Node graph out of date" mean? I see it a lot, but it never seems to prevent a map from loading.

In a nutshell, it has to do with AI pathfinding.

which logically means it shouldnt apply for portal as none of the npc's can actually move but for some reason it does
then from there, being sure to include in the zip file the maps/graph/mapname.ain file.

the path of the level sounds text file is defined as /maps, while the bsp itself is in /maps/TWPNov07.
Can you recompile the map with the new folder name, or would it be easier for me to try and decompile it and change it myself?

I know, and that's why there are four .ain files in the maps/graphs/TWPNov07 folder (which is where the engine put them automatically since the maps were being run from the TWPNov07 folder, I had no hand in that). But, as I suspected, it seems that Nodegraphs built on my computer are not good on everyone's. Hmm.

The easiest thing to do would be to use PakRat to remove the sounds and then re-add them where it expects them to be, in /portal/maps/, but not inside of a BSP.
