Hello guys!
I have a question related to portal 2: Is there any way to import models with animations from portal 1 to portal 2 ?
I've only ever brought a static HL2 model into Portal 2, but I believe you can just copy the model/texture/material files from one game to another and it'll work.

I did not expect the train. Also rip water reflections (or was it a ghost train).

Damn that's beautiful. Real time reflections ftw.

But still wanna know why that train wasn't reflected. Is it a skybox object or a graphics setting you've set?

Yeah I think I know why its not being reflected, turns out I had water reflections set to reflect world instead of reflect all, in fact I didnt even notice it until you guys pointed it out. I could record it again but im lazy :), so I dont think ill bother to update it unless something else needs changing

There are loads of programs you can get that allows you to set videos as a desktop background if you want. Simple google reveals many.

You know what would be great? If computers allowed animated backgrounds, and this was able to be set as the background... this is just to beautiful and mesmerizing...

Funnily enough that's just what it's for! I have it running through wallpaper engine although I'm sure that there are other tools out there. If anyone else wants to to use it I'll probably be putting it up on the workshop sometime soon

If I remember correctly, Windows XP was able to set HTML pages for desktop, and HTML pages can contain anything HTML pages can contain.
Who cares about WinXP anyway.
Also, yeah, when you think "computers can't...", you'll probably end up finding out that it's an issue with something not as deep as the nature of computers.

There are already 2 other maps named pl_siege, and even though it's misspelled, you should probably come up with a different name. How about a 2 word name like SiegeVille?

Also, make sure to disable shadows on the track props so that you don't get that giant black spot under them.

Also worth noting to keep capital letters out of your filenames. Otherwise the map will crash players and servers.

The area in the first picture looks a bit too flat and tight imo. A good sniper could easily shut down that route and it looks as if it's going to be really spammy. Only getting it tested could really tell, but I would definatly widen it.
