Map names and startup behavior
Change the sp_transition_list.nut
DO NOT USE THE ATTACHED FILE IN YOUR PORTAL2 HEIRARCHY! IT WILL BREAK YOUR GAME!!!
The attached file has a .txt extension, it must be changed to .nut to work.
I created a custom mod to run my single player custom maps. I have modified the <Custom Mod Dir>scriptsvscriptstransitionssp_transition_list.nut file to support additional features.
1. Allows series of maps to be added which will be played in order, returning to the menu after the last one.
2. Controls which gun a map starts with (if the map doesn't do it itself).
When I add maps to my custom mod, I will update this file to make it start with the right portal gun if the map doesn't do it itself. I may add custom titles if the map doesn't have them (an original Valve feature). I can use this file to create series of maps, if they don't change maps themselves.

For what i understand of that (toke 1 week to), you are talking about some kind of "mod". Ok this is all messing me up.
This thread should be stickied imho, as I refer people to it often, from the 'mapping Help' forum.
Step 2 is a common issue, and this is very useful information in particular.

damn straight.
I think in terms of boolean variables. Generally, it makes things easier.
I returned to portal2 after 5 month idling (ye, played WoW and LoL 
), and I found out that a dlc came out (ye, was surprise for me, not started portal since june), and today I found out that all my maps and previously downloaded custom maps start with the potatogun. I remember these maps, they worked fine before. Don't know if its just my Portal2 or others experience this too (I even fully reinstalled portal2), but I found a temporary solution that I described here:
mapping-help/post-your-portal-2-authoring-tool-bugs-t2459-105.html
Basically after this, all old and future custom maps start as they are intended, without the annoying potato. I will also embed this .nut to my future map BSPs so if someone else playing it who experienced the same, the gun will be OK in their portal2 too.
