When i make a Structure Seal, is it meant to wrap itself tightly around the shape of the map, or just stay a box shape. Because i looked at other peoples maps and the seal alot different to mine

I thought i had to, to compile? And someone told me i was doing it wrong and thats why my map is Fulbright with no toggle

[QUOTE=Wootman;29517659]Who ever told you that is a idiot Read the wiki: [url]http://wiki.p2mods.com/index.php?title=Main_Page[/url][/QUOTE] Oh thank you! That got rid of my leak. I read it from the VDC wiki that said you must make a seal before compiling. Guess it doesn't count for portal?

Does anyone know what are the minimal requirements for the SDK? My PC broke and I was wondering if I could use my netbook to do some basic mapping (no ingame testing obv).

[QUOTE=Wootman;29517738]Its only for Alien Swarm[/QUOTE] Ahh, i thought it meant the SDK in general, as in thats how it worked. Well thanks. so anyway I still have defaulted Fulbright with no errors during compiling. hoping someone knows how to fix that still. Turning it off during game doesn't work

[QUOTE=Wootman;29517775]Do you have lights?[/QUOTE] Of course :P I even made a simple room and tried every type of light (not all at one), no leaks. Nothing :/

[QUOTE=RJK 616;29517851]Of course :P I even made a simple room and tried every type of light (not all at one), no leaks. Nothing :/[/QUOTE] Try using a different light entity

I did :/ like i said i used every type of light entity, spot light, direction, normal light.. the works Edit: Sorry, i'm full of questions and problems -_- But why is this happening? [url]http://i56.tinypic.com/2n0lqol.png[/url] In pic: I have a playerstart, an Overlay and a Light entity. They all come up like that.

Test I made with parenting paint to the portal gun [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWiuCu8IJnc[/media] I need to figure out how to get the paint to aim at an info_target so I can aim with it. also want to parent a button to the front so I can turn it on and off without switches

Still looking for a fix for my light problem though, it's pretty annoying having my map look like this [url]http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/595810025177209594/2F6A06E910FCA6A8943F3923097CD047E793D083/[/url]

some times you get that shit when you played your map in full bright before. turn mat_fullbright 0. hope that was the solution :D

[QUOTE=ljdp;29519664]Even better if you could record a demo ;D[/QUOTE] Aww sorry, that was too late. We're done. It was pretty good I have to say. Made us think for a few minutes then at the end (When I was at the exit door and my friend had to make it) he just couldn't make it to the panel unless he placed himself correctly on the plate. Don't know if that's intended or not. Also, my friends reports and misplaced texture at the exit hallway. We did it and found the cube. We then tried to figure if there was anything to do with the cube and jumped into the void in vain. It was a really good WIP map though. Loved the classical music and how it used reflex/timing to get through. Gonna add the fact that you can go through the panels when you portal around, so that kinds of need to be fixed. (If the panels are placed against the ground or against the wall, and you're coming out from another portal, you'll go through.)

[QUOTE=nanutek;29519901]some times you get that shit when you played your map in full bright before. turn mat_fullbright 0. hope that was the solution :D[/QUOTE] I actually figured out what i did wrong. I was just default compiling, not FULL compiling. I swear i didn't have to do that in Portal 1. Anyway, thanks for all the help you guys. Sorry for being an idiot

The second chamber is still WIP, the first one is finished, just need to give it more detail, lighting and polish.

[QUOTE=Feuvert;29520129]If you can, I can go back in SP and take pictures of the small issues I found out?[/QUOTE] It's ok, I already have a list of the misaligned textures to fix.
