I don't seem to have portal 2's entities, just half life 2's and alien swarm's.
when i compile, map map goes into alien swarm/swarm/maps and not portal 2. <- yay fixed

something probably wrong here

To get your Clients flag back in flags tab, Go to Steam/steamapps/common/alien swarm/bin open swarmbase.fgd, and remove the "//" on line 42.

You may also comment out the "Marines and Aliens" and "Only Marines" If you like!.

Are skyboxes possible with this setup? I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if it's just impossible.

There's only 2 skybox textures in Portal. blacksky and sky_white.

All they are is pure white or pure black.

The important thing is that they are possible; in Portal 1, if a skybox saw a portal (or vise versa) the engine crashed.

Not quite true, there's also a few maps with sky_fog, which is the color of the fog in the later levels.

Well a few maps with fog around the level doesn't really count as a skybox texture. :unsure:

Nice zip file Ali. Thanks.
It has a vmf fliem in it, which is very useful. The map contains nearly everything in Portal 2 except telearms and moving platforms and things like this.

Most of this stuff is not that hard to create. The toxic works now too in my map =). (I think it was leak :/)

But: Does anyone here know how overlays and gel work correctly? The overlays have strange keys and values in the properties thati don't understand. And when i want to make gel, and I press the button, the game just crashes :s.

I've played now some really cool maps, so there must be some good mappers. Go on with the good work guys =).

Phil42: you need to set the maxblobcount property on your map, as detailed in the first post. Otherwise it crashes when it tries to spawn paint blobs.

You have wiggle room, and it won't screw up portal 2. Probably alien swarm if it screws anything at all.
