Video and links soon, redoing the rings so they're 32 faces instead of 16.[/QUOTE]

If this is the best anyone has done yet I am disappointed.

Edit: A friend of mine remade the old chamber, video coming tomorrow.

Done: [url]http://jaycee.game-host.org:8000/p2wiki/index.php/Panels#How_to_use_panels[/url]

I tried my best, never used wiki's before. I rewrote a couple of parts to explain a little better (and to pad out the page) and added a link to madk's other panels example.

Hope you like it. :sweatdrop:

Any tutorials on how to make crushers? I'm going to guess they're the same as panels with a trigger_hurt parented to them?

yeah, follow the same tutorial as panels but, instead of a func_brush use a trigger_hurt

Particles and Decal didn't show up in the video, but oh well.

Gonna go play RISK, link later.

Have you got the model name of them? :v:

Funnily enough, you just search crusher. It's weird though, they are in a folder called cursher...

Common options (use -v to see all options):

  -v (or -verbose): Turn on verbose output (also shows more command
                    line options).

  -onlyents   : This option causes vbsp only import the entities from the .vmf
                file. -onlyents won't reimport brush models.
  -onlyprops  : Only update the static props and detail props.
  -glview     : Writes .gl files in the current directory that can be viewed
                with glview.exe. If you use -tmpout, it will write the files
                into the \tmp folder.
  -nodetail   : Get rid of all detail geometry. The geometry left over is
                what affects visibility.
  -nowater    : Get rid of water brushes.
  -low        : Run as an idle-priority process.

  -vproject <directory> : Override the VPROJECT environment variable.
  -game <directory>     : Same as -vproject.

Seriously, this is frustrating...

:ninja:

I did... I have no idea why this is happening.

Someone make a puzzle using world portals!

[Jessecar96]

also a tip, uncheck game_exe and change copy File to "C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\portal 2\portal2\maps"

Still no TestMap.bsp in my Portal 2 maps folder.

[editline]24th April 2011[/editline]

Is the compiler supposed to run as hammer_run_map_launcher.exe?

[Jessecar96]

look for the bsp in where you saved the vmf

[Gabe Newell]

Once Valve removes the one env_projectedtexuture limit, Source will FINALLY have proper dynamic lighting. Can't fucking wait. Also, great jobs on the maps guys. Really. I can't wait to see what you bring us in the future

[Wootman]

Why does my map always start in fullbright when I have light entities in them?

What program are you using to record? cause the lighting looks weird on the wall.
Also, the diversity vent, I know there is a model of it ingame, cause I saw it a few times. See if you can use that, instead of the one made out of brushes.

[PieClock]

[QUOTE=Wootman;29388123]Why does my map always start in fullbright when I have light entities in them?[/QUOTE]

Could be a ton of things. But try loading a pointfile to check you have no leaks and make sure you've removed -alldetail from your compile settings.

I have no leaks and -alldetail was already off for me.

I used source recorder, but save it as a compressed because of my shitty computer and youtube upload times.

And I also searched for the props and couldn't find 'em.

What are the names?

I redid my Vents from the ol' Collab days. The portal detectors new outputs really helped.

Still needs work, hopefully I can get it in a state so I can release it.

Easy as fuck, but i'm planning on making harder test chambers. :v:

Also if anyone can tell me how i can make the doors "fit" the walls, that would be great.

Heh, sorry. I actually chose to redo that map because people on the video of my Portal 1 version kept commenting asking why Valve did not put it in the game. And again its my old Portal 2 Collab stuff dressed up and re-made. The only thing I redid was the Portaling effect.

It still needs work, Last room is not done, and sadly I ran out of time. Hopefully I can get it fully 100% working.

OH THE COLLAB DAYS.
Brings a tear to my eye.
Reminds me of my old diversity vent map. I might remake that into Portal 1.
