[POR]Portal: Project Beta {WIP}

Post by CabooseJr »

Well, since the site now has a place to put this. I think it would be appropriate I start this section off with a little something me and a few other people have been working on for a while now. Basically the mod is trying to recreate what Portal was like in the beta stages with various textures, maps, particles, and models. My part in the mod was working on the particles and my job is pretty much done.

We managed to put the hand back on the portalgun, but for right now we are using the hands from Counter-Strike. The Crosshair has been remade, although it isn't fully functional yet, it will still look good. The mod will be released around April, but soon there will be a demo coming out.
Here is a list that is from our ModDB page.
Features so far:
*New texture/Script system for crosshair
*New texture system for portals
*New texture system for metal surfaces
*Added new model of PortalGun
*Added a lot of content from Beta
*Fixed motion blur blur
*Added Beta turrets
*Added updates to the campaign mode
*Campaign is about 70% done
*New Music and sounds
*Trailer completed and coming with demo
*Demo 90% completed
*Male Player about 5% done (Still buggy)
*Mod Completion about 65% done
That is pretty much all I have right now. I will post more updates as time passes by.
Here is the promo I did not too long ago. Watch in HD!

Love it can't wait to download it.

Out of curiosity how hard is it to mod source games?

It just depends on how much you want in the mod. If you want new weapons for instance, you'll have to do some coding to put em in there, but usually there are a lot of tutorials floating around that would help you out.

That is an addon to Garry's Mod that was released by Mahalis a while ago, before Portal was even released.

Well, we finally managed to get a closed portal animation. Before you shot a portal, you would see the swirl, but you would see the gray wall behind it as well and it looked terrible. Now we don't have that problem.

Alright, I got an update video right here.

We managed to replace Chell with the old placeholder, the hands have been remodeled on the portalgun, the holes are now in the portalgun, and we finally have new security cameras.
