How to create Portal 2 maps - Games

[QUOTE=swampie;29507450]Instead of using elevators I'm going to use the elevator shaft with an excursion funnel instead of the little pods[/QUOTE] why?

[QUOTE=Smashman;29507409]The texture appears perfectly fine. Although, it does appear bugged due the massive size of the fizzler.[/QUOTE] So if i make it smaller it will work? or thinner? did you managed to make it work?

[QUOTE=Conro101;29507478]why?[/QUOTE] Because it's not science without the risk of death

[QUOTE=Conro101;29507478]why?[/QUOTE] cause the elevator melted [editline]29th April 2011[/editline] i have no idea, i just thought it would be cool

The fizzler material is to big(1024x1024) or the brush I made? Than how to make one?

[QUOTE=J4censolo;29507535]Because it's not science without the risk of death[/QUOTE] Elevators are hooked up to the tube network already that seems not safe

[QUOTE=Archy18;29507617]The fizzler material is to big(1024x1024) or the brush I made? Than how to make one?[/QUOTE] Use more than one brush if you have to.

I tried to spawn a companion cube covered in gel, but it doen't work. I can't create any cubes, except the normal ones: [media]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1471180/Bilder/p2_1.png[/media] I'm using the newest (?, V6) FGD file. Any idea why it doesn't work?

Ok this is crap. Can somebody give me a prefab of a fizzler?

There should be one on the wiki.

Just spawn a cube and use a paint sprayer above it, activate it for a second then turn it off. If you use a spawn room, you won't see this and it'll seem to spawn like that. It's how Valve did the first blue gel bit.

Well I found this on the wiki [url]http://wiki.p2mods.com/index.php?title=Fizzlers[/url] ... I did the same and it doesn't work.. i think the compiler is the problem .. i get 3 yellow errors: - unrecognized conditional test SonyPS3?$outputintensity in effects/fizzler - unrecognized conditional test srgb_pc?$outputintensity in effects/fizzler - unrecognized conditional test !srgb_pc?$outputintensity in effects/fizzler

[QUOTE=Neddy;29508030]Im going to make up a prefab now and put it on the wiki.[/QUOTE] Thanks very much !

There really is no need for a prefab, I think you've got something incorrect with your compiler, Archy.

Well, the fizzler works fine. But I cant seem to get the texture to allign right.

Well what could it be? It says no errors.. I have -alldetail deleted. These are the settings> [url]http://gamver.webs.com/Untitled.png[/url] Also the frizzler texture on a brush is not appearing in hammer, it is blank.

It doesn't appear in hammer.

Are the settings correct?

I'm getting issues with gel. It's not showing up as spots on the floor, they're completely invisible. Also you need to set it to full compile, not default.

My game_exe is ticked. You might want that, as it makes Portal 2 run your map for you, if it's open. [editline]29th April 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Death_God;29508373]I'm getting issues with gel.

Quick question: how would I go around making a button that would lower the panel if it was up and lift it if it was down? I know that I should I look into some logic entities but I'm not sure about which.

In fact, doing that everytime is just stupid.

I have the newest alien swarm SDK hammer downloaded from Steam, the SDK configs are set to Portal2 (Portal2/Portal2), I use the portal2.fgd file (V6), as the configs in hammer where you need to put the fgd's I put the portal2.fgd and the halflife2.fgd . I have windows 7 ultimate .. and while compile the map the game runs .. but i think that not affects [editline]29th April 2011[/editline] Hmm send me a vmf where your fizzler worked, and if it doesn't work it means that I have a problem with hammer or the compiler.

It's not actually a seperate place in the map. It's right below glados' chamber and you literally go through the portal to get to it. It's actually upside-down. Cut it out and flipped it round, might be good for machinima and stuff.[/sp]

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu /moonbase Does anyone know how reepblue made custom gels?

The elevator prefab what is on the wiki does not work correctly. I think it is only tested in a map wich was sealed off. At the top of the elevator is a leak.
