Orange Box Content Coming to Garry's Mod

[Operational]

The intention is to release a GMod update just after Orange Box is released. This is going to be quite a big update so there will should be a beta period before the big release.

This will be free for everyone that bought GMod, but obviously you can only use content from the games (maps, models etc) if you own those specific games.

So good news, I expect as a minimum to get the Orange Box models, maps and source engine updates. I'm hoping the Portal gun will be included because that would be awesome to have. I'd also like to be able to build the Engineers Sentry Gun because that could be a lot of fun too.

Yay!

Huzzah

A Real Portal Gun :d

Can't wait

This way I can trial some portal strats before mapping. Epic win!

You will need to register an account with the forums because as a beta you are supposed to report bugs.

Or you can wait like a week for the beta to finish and the standard game to get updated.

Portal gun is confirmed to not be included, Garry's reason: Debugging nightmare.

Yeah I know, makes sense.

 

[DireAvenger]

Yeah I know, makes sense.

(IDEA!) What if someone did it FOR Garry so he didn't have to go through and end up in deep shit?

 

[Operational]

I'm sure somebody will try to make one for GMod 2007.

The Stargate, while being a lot of fun, has limitations - try putting an object halfway between Stargates. There is a portal gun for GMod but it has the same limitations as the Stargate, they are both really just surfaces that teleport things from one surface to the other unlike the proper portals in Portal.

Thanks alot.

No problem.

Yeah, the Portal gun is an interesting specimen that probably won't really be ported itself, but people will make copies from scratch.

As for me, I've been trying to figure out how to use the 1st person Portal Gun model as the Physgun model, as I think that the portal gun looks cooler. Oh well, just me.
