Just a quick thing before I sleep, models compiled for source 2007/9 are compatible with Portal 2 right :v:. Or is there a compiler out already for Portal 2.

[QUOTE=icemaz;29454699]Just a quick thing before I sleep, models compiled for source 2007/9 are compatible with Portal 2 right :v:. Or is there a compiler out already for Portal 2.[/QUOTE] They should load fine. Ive had no problem loading the old materials. Should be the same for the models.

So yeah. Color Correction experiment. I tried to mimic a cool photography look but I can't seem to find the correct balance of color and contrast, and the blend. Here's what I got so far, I'm pretty sure it kinda looks like shit but whatever.

[QUOTE=Neddy;29455029]use [ img_thumb] [ /img_thumb] without the spaces ofcourse.[/QUOTE] :doh: thank you <3 [editline]26th April 2011[/editline] Oh and I'm getting a little pissed off. Every time I start a custom map, the gameplay is always stuttering. Like my FPS is technically 60 but my view is really laggy and stuttering and it's as annoying as layla.

Guys, anyone else get the videos to work In-Game?

Layla I'm giving you one warning. You obviously don't take any hints from your bans. Cut the rating trolling, it derails shit, and I don't give a damn if I have to perma you to stop it because the [i]only[/i] time I see you there's a good chance people are bitching about you being an asshat.

How do you make cubes self-destruct when thrown into toxic water? Like it is in the game? Thanks!

[QUOTE=user1220;29456641]How do you make cubes self-destruct when thrown into toxic water? Like it is in the game? Thanks![/QUOTE] You could just make a trigger_multiple that whenever a cube touches it, it disintegrates.

[QUOTE=gsp1995;29456840]You could just make a trigger_multiple that whenever a cube touches it, it disintegrates.[/QUOTE] Thanks for the tip, but how would I do that?

[QUOTE=gsp1995;29456840]You could just make a trigger_multiple that whenever a cube touches it, it disintegrates.[/QUOTE] I had it so onstarttouch it spawned another cube.

If I set the trigger_multiple to OnStartTouch -> *make my Boxdropper give a new cube* or OnStartTouch -> *Dissolve cubename*, nothing happens. Edit: Found the solution: [url]http://forums.thinkingwithportals.com/maps-and-modding/how-to-destroy-the-cube-in-water-t669.html[/url]

[QUOTE=gsp1995;29457420]Check the trigger_multiple flags to physics objects.[/QUOTE] Yeah, I had not set that. Works now. Thanks for your help!

[QUOTE=armNARMeenayta;29448874]This is beautiful, but if you're gonna do the plain white above ceiling thing, make the room much higher, or cover it better. Just my opinion. This is startling and doesn't really make sense. It's just not realistic, the plain white I mean, so it needs more cover or more distance from the player. BRILL job though! Looks awesome otherwise![/QUOTE] [img_thumb]http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/595810025136196441/C883F59AD3B203B0CD8923B2513D5F0407C18871/[/img_thumb] Badda boom [editline]26th April 2011[/editline] And now I'm doin it rong.

Put some env_cubemaps around then load the map ingame and type buildcubemaps in console.

Would someone help me with leaking? I swear to god, I've done every single thing to avoid it that's been mentioned on wiki and in this thread. -removed '-alldetail' from the bsp -put my map in a hollow box func_brushed to 'structure_seal' -followed the Pointfile but it didn't help in the slightest since brushes don't seem to prevent leaking -moved the sealing box to world Halp ;(

Just move the box to world and try compiling again.

[QUOTE=Paulendy;29460952]If you removed -alldetail then you don't need to put your map inside a hollow func_brush called structure_seal. Just move the box to world and try compiling again.[/QUOTE] Forgot to mention. I've done that too. :((

[QUOTE=eel3;29461016]Forgot to mention. I've done that too. :(([/QUOTE] Does it say you've got a leak? If yes, see if you've left an unused entity outside the map. [editline]27th April 2011[/editline] Also, model origins can be where you think they wouldn't be(in some cases, outside in the void), so try disabling all models(using visgroups), if it compiles correctly, start looking for the one that's causing the leak.

someone make a map with the paints just spewing out like the conversion gel.

I got a problem: Whenever I use GCFScape to open "pak01_dir.vpk" it just gives me one single folder, named "root". Theres nothing in it, at all. Anyone got any idea whats wrong?

Not sure. Gonna try to redownload it. [editline]27th April 2011[/editline] It's working now, thanks!

I used portal2 nodraw textures instead of the normal ones. On the brights side after all these hours I spent trying to fix this I feel like a real expert on leakages :D Still, thank you all for help!
