Here I show off some content I have been working on lately to try and restore the good features from the Portal Beta to the retail one we have today. I WILL be releasing this to the public once I'm happy with the content.
Things in so far:
Beta Portal Gun Fire Animations
Beta Portal Gun Reset Animations
Beta Swirl Portals - Blue / Orange
Beta Portal Gun lighting - Blue / (Red/Pink) - this will be fixed
Beta High quality Textures on Companion / Storage Cubes.
Beta sound effects for Turrets - small glitch where incorrect 'searching' will sometimes play
Things that will be added:
Straight Orange Line to replace Dotted Lines
Orange lighting on Portal Gun - to fix the incorrect colour
(Optional) Blue and Pink Crosshairs - This one is hard to do.
UPDATE:
I have added the orange lines to replace the dotted lines.
I have fixed the red/pink colour on the Portal Gun so it now correctly displays the orange light to match the corresponding Portal.
I'm just having an issue with the Material Emancipation Grill files - hopefully will be done soon.
-If the Material Emancipation Grill files are take a while I'll upload a video showing what I've added since this video.
Update 2:
Turrets now say "Sorry, we're closed." & "hahahahaha."
Optional unofficial pink and blue crosshairs - Make but do not match the beta ones perfectly :(
Attempting to learn how to decompile the Portal maps to try and add the Official Beta Fizzlers. - Hammer wont load my maps, it crashes on postload 33% so I cant do anything until this is fixed
Credit to PelPix for the Portals Particles and a base to the Portals.
Keep an eye out.
Enjoy.
