Yeah, it has nothing to do with the fact that the PTI update broke a lot of things, and Portal 2 is not really the most mod friendly game in existence.

Demo's also remove that surprise factor. Why Colossal wanted a demo for AAK is beyond me, the mod became more work afterwards, and I was the only one working on it at that point. :boring:

Would suggest making mappacks first. Doing smaller projects teaches big lessons and it is not as overwhelming.

There are fixes for all the PTI breaks.... but it sucks nonetheless, and I dont blame you for moving to source2007
I do agree with everything you just said, advertising too much, and demos (usually) greatly decrease want

Sorry, I didn't actually mean a real demo. Like you said reep, I plan on releasing just a small map-pack with no mod format at all. Also, what PeTI breaks are you talking about? I got Hammer after the Perpetual Testing Initiative was launched, so I guess I wouldn't know.

You mean that wasn't possible to do until the PeTI was released?

Valve decided it was a grand slam idea to have some gels share resources. I can remember each gel including sticky having its own particle set and color convar. Now the water and conversion gel shares particles, and the sticky/reflective gel shares stuff from the conversion and propulsion. Makes things like the Electric Gel harder, yet impossible to sell.

I don't blame them, I would have done the same thing. Although I think this was after the DLC1, not so much PTI.

If you fix the particles you can at least use it on its own, though. After DLC1 I was afraid they'd taken the first gel type out entirely.

It's a little sad that I was excited because VALVe didn't break as many things as I had thought they would.

Ah, I get it now, I figured you were wiping off sticky gel using the Water Redirection Cube, but now I see that it was just screwy particle effects.
