Portal 2 Mod Tool The BEE2 allows reconfiguring Portal 2's Puzzlemaker editor to use additional items, reskin maps for different eras, and configure many other aspects. All vanilla items have been upgraded with additional bugfixes and improvements. The packages (item, style, etc definitions) are in the BEE2-Items repository. Portal 2 draws from the award-winning formula of innovative gameplay, story, and music that earned the original Portal over 70 industry accolades and created a cult following. The single-player portion of Portal 2 introduces a cast of dynamic new characters, a host of fresh puzzle elements, and a much larger set of devious test chambers. To be honest the portal 2 level maker is just a dumbed-down and more intuitive version of the hammer editor. I havent had much experience with it though, i only ever made 1 hammer map which was just a room full of zombies and a rack with a crowbar on it.
Hello everyone, Benjamin Thomas Blodgett (BenVlodgi) here,
You’re probably here to download to the BEE, or to download the resource package required to play chambers created with the BEE.
Current Version 1.5 View the update log at the bottom of the page
Here is the automatic installer Download @ Github
For the manual installation, download and extract the Source Code (zip) from github, and merge the enclosed portal 2 directory, with your existing “portal 2″ directory and overwrite all changes. you will find the portal 2 directory here Steamsteamappscommon
Don’t forget to add #BEEMOD to your published chamber’s descriptions to help people find cooler chambers like yours! Click HERE to search for those chambers now!
If you have questions, post in one of these forums/discussion boards to get help from other users. I do check these boards myself to make sure questions are being answered, or that information is correct.
If you want to have a pellet emitter disable after the pellet has been caught, then set the catcher to target a not gate, which then sends its outputs to the emitter, also make sure the emitter does not have “Start Enabled” checked.
More info:
The BEE is an extension to the Portal Testing Initiative created by Valve Software.
The BEE adds new items to the Palette, these items include:
- Orange AutoPortal
- High Energy Pellets (HEPs)
- Crushers
- Pneumatic Diversity Vents
- Triggers Blocks:
- Once
- Multiple
- Autosave
- Logic Gates:
- And
- Or
- Not
NandNor
- Panel Drawbridge
- Doors
- Warm Lights
When you finish making your chamber with BEE installed you can publish your maps just like normal, however puzzles you make that include High Energy Pellets (HEPs) will require people who download your chamber to install the BEE-resource package before playing the chamber.
If you are a savvy person you can use pakrat to package the HEP resources into your .bsp before publishing. By doing this people wont have to have the BEE-resource package installed to play your chamber.
