Several rife problems I need help with...
Before my map is released into the outside world, I have the following problems that I have noticed a lot of the maps I have played have had trouble with:
- Sometimes the entrance elevator doesn't move at the beginning of the map and I have to reload.
- The test chamber sign. I made a new sign for my chamber and at first it just said "00-None", then it worked, then it stopped again. (Actually, I think I might have a solution. Bear with me...)
- Loading screens always display Apocalyptic Aperture Science. I'd like to use the clean sign instead.
- Map transitions. At the end of the map it fades to darkness whilst still keeping the sound. I'd like to transition to a new chamber.
Also, .vpks don't like me. I tried installing "Discovery" from the community spotlight in a new addons folder and the game wouldn't even load up until I got rid of it. Yet I understand that in order for other people to have my transitions to the next test and the sign I need to put it in a vpk. What should I do?
Well, I know that the test chamber signs have a special script that they follow in the scripts folder, so do the elevators, and the map's loading screen.
Do you have a suggestion for what scripts and how they should be changed? A tutorial, perhaps?
They are all in
Steam/steamapps/common or username/portal2/portal2/scripts/vscripts/transitions
Elevator, loading, test sign
The cool part is valve has given you the instructions in the file already, so no need to look it up

I've fixed the test sign now. So how about the transitions? It says that all the scrips are .nut files. What do I edit them with?
I think if you start your map name with sp_a2 it will give you the clean aperture loading screen.

It gives me a picture from the level with the exile vilify radio in it, but it does change the image.
About the transitions, did you add a landmark and a trigger
No, I used the instances. What do I need to do?
