I have recently bought Portal, and I've found out there are hl2 models. Where would I find these to copy using GCFScape if I could?

I just figured that out as I read this...

EDIT: I just figured out that the models folder isn't there (as it is in hammer)

the specific files should be:

hl2_misc_dir.vpk for models and vmts

hl2_textures_dir.vpk for the vtfs

Thanks! I need to do some extensive hammer and portal 2 authoring tools research...

EDIT: Now I'm guessing there is some sort of file path text document or vmt or something because they're checkerboards/missing textures. I need to learn... Help? Please?

remember to put the vmt and vtf files in the same place. for example, if you wanted to port the cranes from hl2:

move models/cranes from the misc vpk to portal2/models/cranes

then in the misc move materials/models/crane_docks to the same folder in portal 2's folder.

then finally, in the textures.vpk, do the same as the above. if you have any more problems, this website might help:

...but then again, you might also get more help from these people:

Old question
Where would that be for the Portal files too? (not portal 2)
EDIT: Nevermind. I need to learn models...

EDIT: (yet again ** Now I have all of the correct files(Im hoping) with the vmts. I've changed the directories yet the textures are STILLnot working I can just go on and on with everything but whats wrong this time? Can someone direct me to tutorials for importing models aswell? Wow... I think I just figured it out.
