Go to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\[steamname]\" and browse all subsequent files you find there. Most Source games have their materials saved under a 'materials' folder.

Aloha: My first thread. Apologies if there's already a solution to this on the forums (I searched, to no avail [wrong search terms?]), and I hope this is posted in the right place. When compiling this map, I keep getting these artifacts appear in-game: These are only static so long as...

When you start a real match, are all entities, props and textures owned by the same person? As I understand, they wont render at all, even as 'error' entities unless both of you own everything in-game.

Link dead or incorrect atow. This is now the link to anything and everything to do with the water block: http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Water

All fairness, a steampunk theme for the Portal universe isn't a bad thing - and working on just the aesthetics alone isn't necessarily a bad thing. Take Killing Floor: the only paid DLC for it is SKINS, and what's their most recent theme? Steampunk. Making a game steampunk isn't an original...

Freeman97, I would probably say your best route is to make as much of the game as you know how to make, then submit it as a beta mod to the community - if it's a quality build, and it demonstrates your skills with Hammer and as a level designer, I see no reason why people wouldn't jump on board...

Ah, I see what you mean Acepilot. And his link seems to work now. I see what you mean Sixteenth - this is pretty much a Wii clone interface for the PC. But third parties will always make this kind of thing to cash in on a market, even if it boasts no improvement for anyone apart for the...

They don't exist, I would imagine. Same with Portal 2, the Source engine was cut down quite a bit to get it to work stably on consoles, so some 'glitches' like bunny hopping and abh stopped working for games included in it. That, and Valve like you to play their game the way it was intended...

I figured it out myself - Portal 2 doesn't recognise .bsp's with spaces in the filename, so it was an easy fix, and now my friends can play my maps! That, and I noticed the Authoring tools, now have a 'tools mode' of Portal 2 which I'll look into more when I have the chance. Thanks for all...

Sorry - I didn't explain. I've had to give them the uncompiled files, because the .bsp's wont run when I give them to them. The same can be said for any BSP's I download online - we just can't plain run custom maps from our copies of Portal 2 without having compiled them from VMF beforehand...

Weird - original link is working again. And, it is a novint falcon: it just as a pistol grip variation. Or, so the article states, anyway.

Probably best if I did. The only thing I'm genuinely having an issue with is sharing any maps I make, with friends and even playing other custom maps that are online. As a group, we've all tried following the instructions to-the-letter in the Portal 2 wiki, but to no avail: none of us can get...

The link's dead now - my bad. Here it is again.

Does anyone know? It's proving buggering annoying that I can't share content having to get whoever I'm sharing my map with to have to compile it in Hammer for Portal 2 beforehand. Not that I'm complaining overly, as they are free - I'd just like to get my mod started soon is all. Cheers...

*senses more "TF2 is F2P" jokes to come*

I've seen both the Novint Falcon (seeing as I included a link to the article discussing it), and I have also read another article from crunchgear.com which agrees with my view that the Playstation Move (as well as Microsoft's Kinect) are attempting to muscle-in on Nintendo's newly-found market...

I would think it more likely that Lombardi was referring to the likelihood of 3D support anytime soon, rather than indirectly announcing Portal 3. On the 'Move' side however, Valve supports the use of the Novint Falcon Controller for most of their original Orange Box games for PC. Hilariously...

Yeah - GFScape is created with the .NET framework. It would take more effort than is necessary to make an equivalent for OSX. You could perhaps try using WINE and installing the .net framework on your MAC that way?

Personally, DOTA2 is quite an exciting prospect. Seeing as the only DOTA-esque game on the market (that isn't DOTA) is League of Legends, and seeing how painful it can be to play that as a f2p system, I'm intrigued what Valve will bring to the table. Hopefully more than two sodding maps (ala...
