Forum | Thinking With Portals

I'm trying to create a map, but I have some troubles:

1. How can I fix THIS textures?

2. About a box_dropper_cover (It's model from Portal). When I use an animation "open", the game will report, that it don't have a sound "door.move14". But I have this sounds from CSS, Portal, Half-Life 2 (ep.1 and ep. 2). How can I fix it or find this file?

3. About selfmade skins. I want to add skin for prop_scaled_cube (I've already had the textere). But how can I add it and don't replace a default skin?

You'll need to use GCFScape to extract the original button texture from portal 1, for the door frame and button, but for the door, use skin 2. For the Hl2 sound, you need to extract it from the HL2 archives. For the cube, look at this: mapping-help/reskinning-how-to-t4041.html

I did so. The result in the first post (except the doors)

I extracted the sounds from HL2, Portal, CSS and still no result.
Please, read carefully.

1. You're just going to have to use a different skin. Maybe the one from Portal 2 collaboration. For the sounds, try writing in the console "snd_rebuildaudiocache".

From the error it seems to be missing the soundscript, not the sound file. Copy over the generic soundscript and add it to the manifest.

Falsi sumus crusto!

I use a little workaround for the sounds by just setting 'Suppress Anim Sounds" keyvalue to yes in the dropper cover. Then, create an ambient_generic, set the SourceEntityName to the dropper cover and the sound to the box dropper close sound. Next, go to the dropper cover properties and set an output "OnAnimationDone" [ambient_generic] PlaySound. Then, just repeat the step for the opening sound, with "OnAnimationBegun" instead of done. After that, you will still need to rebuild the audiocache.

I do not think that the problem with skin, but I'll try.

It works, thanks.

The problem is about the skin. I've also used the model before, so I know.

With the button, I've found it doesn't look too bad putting the normal button item in then covering it with the base model. The red button sticks out and is visible, but the rest is hidden.

My stuff:

- Hammer Addons
Maps:
- Crushed Gel
- Gel is Not Always Helpful[/spoiler]

A few questions.
