The Combine APC was once meant to be drivable in HL2, so there's probably just still some broken logic attached to it. I've also noticed some styleguides and zoos before have been just simply cut/cordoned off from full maps before leaving things in the void. Both Portal betas are quite interesting, hell I'm interested in every game that came from the Orange Box and it's sequels. Even knowing this stuff already, it's fun to see it again and get refreshed on it.

I love the orange, retro and dim light bulbs showcasing the industrial metal structure and painted signalling around theses spaces, much like an actual factory. I kinda wish they used this instead of the white lights in the original escape sequence, because this brings in a crushing atmosphere, much like it should be transmiting.

These deep dives are fascinating. I'd love to see a video about all the strange retcons from Portal 1 to 2 like how all elevators are different, how the rocket turret totally disappears, the aesthetic of the original Aperture backrooms being abandoned, etc. I know it mostly comes down to new art direction but to me, the two games never quite felt connected, ya know?
@TheCarson11614 күн бұрын
Yeah: to be honest there's something about Portal 1's art style that makes me like it more than Portal 2 (maybe because the game itself came out in the era of "classic" Source games, where textures & the like were still delightfully 2000s, compared to later Source games like Portal where everything got _much_ more clean-looking/detailed/polished & somewhat-uninteresting as a result (especially since a lot more things seem interactable with in Portal than Portal 2 even if they actually aren't for some reason). I believe the sounds heard in Portal 1 are sometimes better than Portal 2's too (especially since some of them come from Half-Life 2, another 2000s-era Source game (& thus another "classic" one).
@Pacca64 Жыл бұрын
We actually do have the code for Trigger_Portal, surprisingly! It's dummied out in the officially released Source SDK, alongside all the other dummied out Half Life 2 stuff! It can be pretty easily reenabled and used in mods. It's basically a trigger_teleport, but it also takes into account relative position and momentum. It's a really cool entity for not just faking portals, but also for seamless transitions and smooth feeling teleports as well! I tried to make a mod awhile back with a 'portal gun' that simply relocated those brush entities around the map. Worked surprisingly well, though they're not nearly as advanced as regular portals and will clip the player into geometry if not placed with care. Still really cool that we have that.

3:10 The ability to "drive" the APC is not that weird, because you actually can in released Half Life 2. All of the APCs who are accessible without glitching or using noclip are "locked" with a function, but some of the inacessible APCs aren't locked and you can get in. It cause the exact same glitch, because the ability to drive the APC is a cut feature.

The day specified in vmf files are only editor build, and what editor build means: Hammer compilation date if I am right. And that editorbuild line in hammer vmf is only in which hammer build map was saved. And editorbuild buildnumber is day, and if you add [EDITORBUILD] days after 24 October 1996, you will get editorbuild date.
