Can't a new mod be made from scratch?
I haven't tried it, might be too much work. |

uhh, yes you can, its called the Source SDK Base
I am 100% sure you can mod Portal without HL2
hint: you need to manually setup the sdk |

i've tried it with the Source SDK Base..
i extracted .gcf's to it, looked for the GameInfo.txts, etc..
but SDK won't start at all, i even tried to run it over the command prompt with no luck..

how that ?
besides: as i understand the Hammer Setup Tutorial all one got to do is: alter another game's SDK environment so that it can be used for Portal.
in case of the tutorial it is the SDK environment of HL2-Deathmatch that is altered.
but since i have no other game's SDK environment to alter
i have no chance to get it working.

Another HUGE hint: Setup your GameConfig.txt inside your sourcesdk/bin/ like this
| Code: | "Configs"
{
"Games"
{
"Portal Mapping"
{
"GameDir" "C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\subtiberian@hotmail.com\source sdk base\sourcetest"
"hammer"
{
"GameData0" "c:\program files\steam\steamapps\subtiberian@hotmail.com\sourcesdk\bin\portal.fgd"
"TextureFormat" "5"
"MapFormat" "4"
"DefaultTextureScale" "0.250000"
"DefaultLightmapScale" "16"
"GameExe" "c:\program files\steam\steamapps\subtiberian@hotmail.com\portal\hl2.exe"
"DefaultSolidEntity" "func_door"
"DefaultPointEntity" "prop_dynamic"
"BSP" "c:\program files\steam\steamapps\subtiberian@hotmail.com\sourcesdk\bin\vbsp.exe"
"Vis" "c:\program files\steam\steamapps\subtiberian@hotmail.com\sourcesdk\bin\vvis.exe"
"Light" "c:\program files\steam\steamapps\subtiberian@hotmail.com\sourcesdk\bin\vrad.exe"
"GameExeDir" "c:\program files\steam\steamapps\subtiberian@hotmail.com\portal"
"MapDir" "c:\program files\steam\steamapps\subtiberian@hotmail.com\sourcesdk_content\portal\mapsrc"
"BSPDir" "c:\program files\steam\steamapps\subtiberian@hotmail.com\portal\portal\maps"
"CordonTexture" "tools\toolsskybox"
"MaterialExcludeCount" "0"
}
}
}
"SDKVersion" "2"
}

I've actually ran hammer on my friends account who has only Portal and no other source game just to prove myself. |

now that a second person has done it, stop trying to tell me I'm wrong :p
<--- t3h helpful
and yes that config looks just fine. what you need to do now is to unpack your materials and models into your sourcetest folder!! GOGO |

Ol' Topic, again >;o
If someone still has one, I don't have HL2 :D So contact Atsu in Steam if you wanna give one to me. It would be cool to get the game when I have Portal and Lost Coast (haven't played that yet tho) from the NVIDIA pack. PEGGLE EXTREME FOR THE WIN
Btw is the game scary/creepy? Mee nou laike skari gaimes :<
// I just don't get the idea of starting new threads if the original one is old. In EVERY else forums I've been in that has been... (oh.. what's that word... ._.) out-of-rules (will do now)...
It feels like spamming to me. ._.
