Portal preload begins now

[Iron_cube]

But the steam servers "are too busy to handle my request" :hmph:

No really, double-click on portal in your game list - wooo

 

[DynamiteHeaddy]

Dude we totally made those threads at the exact same time.:O

 

[Iron_cube]

O_O

Errmm..

 

[MorganFreeman911]

Lol. Awesome.

 

[kineaesth]

That's cool. Why isn't it official?

 

[Iron_cube]

I don't know, this and Minerva both needs to be frontpage'd.

I wonder if they actually cared enough to encrypt the files this time

 

[Lucid]

Pre-loading.

After reading up on Portal a bit more, it does look pretty fun.

 

[Tuskin]

Spoiler

The Player's model name is "chell"

 

[Qonfused]

Awesome.

 

[Iron_cube]

Yeah they are encrypted.

 

[Tuskin]

The GCF file seems to have some EP1 file, models and textures.

 

[Iron_cube]

Of course it does, some props in the glass room are directly from the hospital chapter.

 

[Tuskin]

They are going to do what they did with EP1, release a bit at a time. Not all the portal files are in there, there are a lot of empty folders.

 

[Tuskin]

I found cake! "portal\models\props\cake"

Big Spoiler

Spoiler

"\portal\scenes\escape" :O

 

[Asknoone]

Don't just spoiler tag them, please; try actually stating what kind of spoiler they are...for instance...MAJOR SPOILERS!...minor spoilers..

 

[Tuskin]

My pre-load bounced back down to 96% after being at 100%.

 

[Asknoone]

Wow just cancel and delete. That's out of order.

 

[Tuskin]

Wow just cancel and delete. That's out of order.

Huh? It's 100% again.

 

[eraser]

Yeah they are encrypted.

If this isn't a joke I lol'd for ****ing up the game for myself.

edit: Just wondering, if everyone says they're encrypted, how are you (Tuskin), for example, getting this info? "I found cake etc.."

 

[Tuskin]

Hmm a new GCF just downloaded, "portal english.gcf"

 

[Tuskin]

If this isn't a joke I lol'd for ****ing up the game for myself.

You can open the GCFs you just can't take anything out.

GFCScape is a program that allows you to see the files names.

 

[eraser]

Ah alright, thanks.

 

[Tuskin]

Well, I've found everything that I thought was interesting. Time to wait till the next update. (Unless this is all the pre-loading till the 10th XD)

Aha! I was right all along! You laughed at me but who's laughing now! :imu::bounce:

 

[Xendance]

Why are you all looking at the gcfs?

 

[DiSTuRbEd]

Because they can.

 

[McGooTheWise]

Omg! You Ruinz It! My Precious Portal!
