A big thank you for everyone who made something, it's been awesome to see all your creativity!

We encourage everyone now to PM the 'Global Moderators' your final files to be posted inside the downloads section.

A little tweaking might have to be done in order to get the animations to work on elevator screens etc. Did not occur to me that .bik files cannot be packed inside a .bsp until someone posted in other thread.

Well done everybody for participating. TWP thanks you!

Pakrat might not recognize them, but stock bspzip probably can. Has anyone tried that?

Yes, they can be packed, and no they don't play in-game.

How would one turn it into an animated texture without losing quality through several conversions (BIK -> AVI -> lots of PNGs -> VTF)? Is there a way?

Falsi sumus crusto!

It can be converted, but the animated texture would be huge in size compared to a .bik. It is like playing an uncompressed video.
howto

Sorry, only logged-in users can see spoilers.

So either quality has to be reduced or the amount of frames in order to keep it a reasonable size.

Converting to an animated texture is out of the question, there's a very small maximum number of frames allowed in an animated texture.

I see. But is there no way that changing the file path can fix anything? I'd hate to see the idea of elevator video's go to waste...

No, .bik doesn't work if it isn't included. :/
I will give the animated stuff one final try to see what I can do :(

Well it won't really "go to waste", it just means that it will have to be included through traditional means. It might be out of the question for Workshop maps, but it doesn't mean it can't be used.

Will workshop maps use custom assets if they're in the Portal 2 folders?
