PLEASE MAKE THE PNEUMATIC DIVERSITY TUBES SO WE CAN HAVE TUBE SYSTEMS!

They're in the FGEMOD currently, so they'll be in the BEEMOD2.

So, BEE2 is supposed to be a GUI version of FGEMOD?

BEE 2 is a future product that is currently in early development. Im not sure if this topic is fitted for a discussion about that.

I started working on the BEE2 the day I published the BEE, but I was taking a long time, so Felix decided to make the FGE mod as a commandline palette chooser.
For a while I actually abandoned development of it, but I recently started working on it again, and Carl joined me.
The two mods are very similar, so I can ship the BEE2 with any Bug free item (including Felix's items)

Hi Ben - I love the BEEMOD and regularly use it in helping me quickly draw out a test chamber. I'm having a problem, though, and I wonder if you know of a solution or a workaround?

I have two super-colliding super buttons as the inputs to a moderately complex system of NOT, AND and OR gates in order to control an excursion funnel in the way I'd like. However, when I first load up the map, the logic doesn't work as I'd expect. It's only after I've activated both buttons that everything starts behaving. Once I've done that I can have any combination of the two buttons pressed and unpressed and everything works as intended. Is this an issue you've come across before?

It sounds like the branches aren't all being triggered by the logic_auto properly. Try recompiling and replaying, see if it's consistent.

The NOT gate is known to have problems like this unfortunately.
I personally haven't found a way to fix the NOT gate's bug. you could try doing something like placing a cube dropper hidden above a panel which would would activate the button, the fizzle and panel would close
you may be able to rearrange the gates in a way that would work
or perhaps add an invisible trigger once into the mix

Thanks for the replies. I managed to solve it by rearranging the logic gates, as you suggested. I ended up with a situation where I wanted to change the polarity of the excursion funnel if button one was activated and button two was not. I originally had button one connected directly to an AND gate and button two connected to the AND gate via a NOT gate. This didn't seem to work. What did work was connecting button one via two NOT gates (like a double negative). Weird, but I'm just happy I got it working.

I installed it on my mac with the manual installation. Every time I rebuilt a map, it would get stuck on "Building Geometry." If you could fix that, that would be great!

Try turning on Developer mode in the console, that makes it show more detailed error messages when that happens.

Hey PTI puzzle makers
The BEE2 interface is nearly done, now I'm going to be focusing on creating new items.
Here is a list of planned Items:

*New Dropper containing
*-Catapult Cube
*-BumbleBall
*-Working Turret
*-Broken Turret
*-Boxed Turret
*Bomb Dispenser
*Upgrade Portal gun item
*Sendificator
*Laser Fizzler
*Vactubes for transportation of Gels, Cubes, and Player
*Wheatley Monitor
*Security Cameras
*Wide Catapult
*Portalable Piston
*Coop Checkpoints
*Spinny Blade Hazard
*Voxel Sized Crushers

make suggestions either here, or in the Portal 2 Discussion

I'd like to suggest music. You know, maybe using Radios to play as many Portal 2 tracks as you could manage.
You'd place the radio somewhere in the test chamber, and be able to tweak 'Position Sound' by ticking a box. Ticking this box would make it act like a normal radio, (gets quieter as you move away) and not ticking it would play the music throughout the level no matter where you went.
I hope this wouldn't be too hard to implement.

The trick would be selecting which piece to play. The counter on the GLaDOS lines in the FGEMOD confused a lot of people, but it's the only way to get more that 4 discrete options in one item.

Also, does anyone have a rough idea of when BEE2 is going to be ready? I really need the Wheatley Monitors for my chamber I'm working on at the moment.

That tutorial makes it much harder than it has to be. There are instances for all that in the sdk_content. Just place a wheatley_studio outside the map and a monitor instance in the map, then send it an input to open and turn on.

Thanks. I probably ought to mention that I'm utterly useless when it comes to Hammer. I shall have to try, though.

this month it should be out

Awesome, I'd better finish fixing up the FGEMOD2 elements!
