Aren't you tired of VALVE destroying elevator videos with the new DLC?
Aren't you tired of editing scripts for map transitions? And then packing them into bsp, what doesn't work?
Do you really expect every under-age-12 downloader to be smart and not lazy enough to copy several of your scripts in the right location of his PC?
Do you want to display chapter titles?
Do you sometimes wish to have free choice over whether your Portal Gun can shoot the orange Portal and whether it carries PoTAToeS or not?
Do you want a map transition that works, when the player si not in the PeTI?

All this is now accesible to you, thanks to

Brainstone's Hardcoded Instance Collection

1. BrainstoneEntryTransition

Delete the standard arrival_departure_transition for this to work.
Possibilities to choose:
$canShootOrangePortal
$PortalgunHasNoPotatoe
$chapterTitle
$chapterSubtitle
$chapterTitleColour (e.g. 255 100 255)
$chapterSubtitleColour
$EnableChapterTitle
$EnableChapterSubtitle

2a. Brainstone_entry_elevator_base_hardcode
$video
100% functioning

2b. Brainstone_exit_elevator_base_hardcode
$video
100% functioning

3. departure_elevator_logic_up_changelevel
$newmapname
$disablePTIVoteDiag
(If you are playing in the PeTI AND want to vote, there is now other option than let the player click the "next map" button to create a transition. However, this always transitions the player to $newmapname when he plays not in PETI)

3b. departure_elevator_logic_down_changelevel
Like 3a, only for the other kind of elevator bases.

Making of will follow if wished so.
Also, should I upload this to the download base?

EDIT: I have corrected a mistake in the BrainstoneentryTransition, where you would start without any Portalgun if the map filename did NOT start with "_sp".

.....
Still pending to test it but, is there really no need to embed anything into the bsp or placing stuff into any folder? If so, it's awesome! And very handy for workshop maps creators

EDIT: Brainstone I had included the "Post of thee Day" trophy image here until I've read Logic's post in other thread. Lol, sry.

No need to place anything enywhere. Only basic Hammer entities and resources.

Would be good if you added this to the download database Brainstone.
