I think the metrocop was a bit pissed.

It reads "Any source game"
Imagine CSS

Awp Noob: *BLAM*
You: Bloody awps. *portals a portal behind awp nub and one at the door at mid*
Awp noob: *aims, horrible aiming and misses you and hits the portal*

Even DoD: S would be fun. Machine gunner fires at a spot where you guys have to come out from. Just portal the wall behind and have one man suicide and the bullets come out his back

Woah lol, great video.

I would say, I had my doubts of having the Portal gun in Ep.3 because the environment isn't really appropriate but this proved me wrong, more flat walls than I though.

Nifty, I may try this out one day when I have nothing else to do.

The thing is, this wouldn't work in any Source game apart from Half-Life 2; the only reason it works right now is because Portal is based on HL2.

ummm no????

when you say based on half life 2 you meant the story.....

the portal gun should work in any source game because you are just using the files so you should be able to in anothor game.

No, really, it's based on a build of Half-Life 2, hence the NPCs and weapons. You can't "import" the Portal Gun into CSS.

 

[kacation_man]

hes right. Im sure you can import the portal gun in to CSS, but I think you said it backwards. Whats been done here is just the half life 2 maps have been added to the portal folder. I've tried it ( I do not recommend it ). It Makes the maps look nicer IE: cleaner textures, and that nice motion blur effect :naughty:. However it gets really screwy in places, facial animations arnt there, a lot of sounds are missing ect, at one point my frame rate dropped down to like.. 2 fps second then my computer crashed and i got the blue screen of death ( never happened before ) ... What just really needs to be done is implement the portal gun into garrys mod 10 ( for those who own portal anyway ). Now... what I would like to try to do is add the hl2 and ep1 maps to the ep2 folder and get the nice new effects ( short of HDR in hl2 ) in the older "episodes". I wonder how well that would work... I think I'll try. anyway... I would not recommend playing half life 2 maps in portals, you find your self portaling past loading screen and what not.. not a good idea ( plus the crashing.. thats bad ). I would just say wait for a "portal-life" mod or something ( or garrys mod implication )
