So you’ve played through Portal and loved every minute as much as we did. Maybe you’ve even gone through the advanced maps and tried out some of the challenges? So what comes next?
How about the ability to play through Half-Life 2, HL2 Episodes, or other Source-powered games with the portal gun in-hand? We’ve been doing that very thing for the past few days now, and after hours spent experimenting with various techniques and tricks, we’re here to show you how.
To start, check out this video we cut together to show you “Half-Life 2: Portal” in action.
Now, follow our instructions below to the letter and you’ll be firing your gravity gun through portals at unsuspecting Combine in no time.
- First off, backup up your entire Portal directory in a safe place. It’s the folder marked “portal” in ..\Steam\steamapps\(your_steam_id)\. We, nor Valve, take any responsibility in the unlikely event of you hosing your game files. Worse comes to worse though, you could always just redownload from STEAM.
- Next, download and install, if you haven’t already, GCFScape. This handy program will allow you to access the cached game files for any Source-powered game, in addition to several other Steam games you may have downloaded.
- Once that’s done, browse to the directory ..\Steam\steamapps\. There, you’ll see all the available GCF archives. We’ll start with Half-Life 2.
- Open the GCF marked “half-life 2 content.gcf” You’ll see a directory tree in the left pane. Click the box to the left of the folder marked “hl2″ to see the directory listing contained within it. Then, right-click “maps,” select ‘Extract’ and extract the entire folder into the directory \Steam\steamapps\(your_steam_id)\portal\portal. This will merge it with the existing Portal map folder.
- Do the same with the ’scenes’ folder
- Fire up Steam and run Portal. When it’s done doing its thing, open up the developer console with ‘~’ (you may need to enable it under your keyboard options).
- At the console, type “maps” to list all the available maps. Now that you’ve imported the Half-Life 2 maps, this will be a fairly lengthy list and some of the names, like citadel and canals, should seem familiar.
- Type “map” and then the map name to open that map. For instance, “map d1_canals_01″
- When the map is done loading, pull up the console again and enable cheats by entering “sv_cheats 1″
- To give yourself all weapons, including the portal gun, enter “impulse 101″
- Depending on how far you got in Portal, you may need to upgrade the portal gun to fire both portals. Enter “upgrade_portalgun” to do so
- Go lay waste to some alien scum with the power of portals!
Here are some more thoughts on our experiences:
- Follow the same steps if you’d like to try it out with Half-Life 2: Deatmatch or Episodes 1 and 2.
- We actually highly recommend starting with the HL2: DM maps to give you a feel of how things operate and allow you to experiment with various techniques. You can spawn an enemy by first looking where you would like him to be placed and then entering, say, “npc_create_equipment weapon_shotgun; wait; npc_create npc_combine_s” to create a Combine soldier with a shotgun. (Visit this HL2 Filefront page for more details)
- Sorry, but we’ve racked our brains and can’t figure out a simple way to get multiple people into a game of HL2: DM this way. We’re sure some enterprising group of modders will come up with something in the coming weeks, though.
- We did not attempt to do this with Team Fortress 2, Counter-Strike: Source, or Day of Defeat: Source. As fun as it might sound in theory, we would like to dissuade you from trying it as well, as it probably won’t yield any real satisfactory results.
- All the same basic concepts of Portal apply here, including realistic momentum and gravity. You’ll also automatically regain health very quickly as in Portal. We’ll try to find a fix for this and post it soon.
- It may take some time to figure out which surfaces work and which don’t, since obviously this is no longer clearly indicated by the textures. Generally speaking, shoot only for flat walls, floors, and ceilings and not objects like rocks or boxes.
- Sadly, NPC’s and enemies cannot pass through portals. However, almost all ammunition, from bullets shot to grenades tossed to objects flung with the gravity gun, can and will make their way through smoothly.
- You’ll also probably notice a weird, floating colored cloud that follows you around (it appears a few times in the video above). We couldn’t figure out a way to disable this, but thankfully it’s only a minor annoyance.
- As in Portal, the player’s health will regenerate very quickly. A savvy reader by the name of Adam Brock has posted in the comments a way to ‘disable’ regenerative health by setting ’sv_regeneration_wait_time’ to a very high number. You can do so, for example, by entering “sv_regeneration_wait_time 7200″ at the console (after applying “sv_cheats 1″) to postpone any health regeneration for two hours.
We encourage you to post any questions or comments below, or share your own screens and videos.
We’ll continue to update this page whenever we figure out fixes or cool tweaks and things to try out, so keep checking back over the next week or so.
Until then, keep thinking with portals!

That is very nice
Nice job 
This is a great little make over but heres something I did so I didn’t fudge up the portal dir directory ..Steam\steamapps\(your_steam_id)\portal\portal copy the second portal dir and paste it into ..Steam\steamapps\SourceMods if you restart steam you will see it under the 3rd party mods area and just follow the directions provided to add the files with the GCFScape prog but now you just put it under SourceMods\portal this way every thing is split up.
Just one thing I would like to know do you guys know how to move over the audio files from hl2 into that dir?
Yes, indeed!
This could be something very nice
Looks great, I’ll try this later!
Can you make portal gun in Dark Messiah? ))))
My console sez that there’s no BSP file for that map when infact there is and the maps show up on the console list, could you please help me? Also, if you wanted to do this for episode 2 then you would need to extract the materials and models as well. Write back soon, OR ILL PLUCK OUT UR EYES!!! HAHAHAHA!
And HL2: Deathmatch?
The messege that comes up is: CModelLoader::Map_IsValid: ‘maps/d1_trainstation_01.bsp’ is not a valid BSP file
map load failed: d1_trainstation_01 not found or invalid
“Sorry, but we’ve racked our brains and can’t figure out a simple way to get multiple people into a game of HL2: DM this way. We’re sure some enterprising group of modders will come up with something in the coming weeks, though.”
Uhh….. guess you guys missed the whole exite mod.. from MONTHS before portal
http://www.exitemod.com/
Multiplayer + Portals = WIN
i tried it with half-life source but it didn’t work
could someone try it with hls?
ps: it’s very funny with hl2
This is awesome but can it be done on the 360, and if so how can I do it?
Good !!

Wow, nice, you have to see http://www.playeruno.cl !
lol LAVGUNNER. On the 360. Console gamers are so silly. It’s a mod silly, can’t really mod games on a console unless you first mod the console. What kind of silly moron buys HL2 for the console anyways. Console shooters are a waste. I pity you and your foolishness.
Great freakin’ mod though. Really fun to play with in HL2.

Great guide, works, but:
Could someone email me about how to get hl2 sounds in it, and how you pass the part with Gordon getting into his suit if you already have the suit on?
My email is the_spriter@yahoo.com
Thanx.
[…] your Half-Life 2! We all probably thought about how fun portal would be in hl2. Check out http://www.primotechnology.com/2007/…life-2-portal/ Cake is included this time […]
Please someone figure out how to get sound!
I cant seem to get this to work. i followed the directions exactally but when i boot up portal i cant load the hl2 maps. i have portal running indipendant of steam but hl2 is in steam should that matter?
Jan, I tried to tell you earlier but my comp fricked up. That probably does matter, as I used the Orange Box all on Steam for mine. Once you get it working you might try to help us get sound?
Jan, I had the problem earlier…I used GCFScape and extracted Source Models.gcf and Source Materials.gcf and it worked (AI doesnt work well though)
The messege that comes up is: CModelLoader::Map_IsValid: ‘maps/d1_trainstation_01.bsp’ is not a valid BSP file
map load failed: d1_trainstation_01 not found or invalid
recieving that msg when i try to load a map
This thing looks great, theres just 1 problem, can you get Portal without buying the Orange Box…? Because i have all the Half Life 2 games, except Portal, Episode 2 and the other one, the 1 with the Demo Man in it, so do i need to buy the orange box…? because if i do, what will i do with all the other games?! so can some one please please please answer this, because i REALLY want Portal, as well as the ability to make portals in Half Life 2, so PLEASE, can someone help me, because i don’t really want to buy the Orange Box…
Is anyone going to answer my question…? or are you all rejecting me?
i got this working for counter strike source. im posting a video on youtube now of it, with a link to here and thanks in the vid :).
wasnt too hard, and its fun to mess with.
Well, I’ve been fooling around with the various sound files for half-life 2, and managed to find the ones we need. Unfortunately, it still didn’t load them when I extracted them and placed them in various folders. I think the problem lies in the fact that we’re loading up only the maps. Or maybe I’m way off, I dunno. Also, Freeman, this isn’t the place for that question, but you could download it on steam for $20. Though, I don’t know why you’d do that, when you NEED to play ep. 2 if you’ve played the others, and TF 2 is amazing.
Hey Tim, which ones are those files? could you give me the folder(s)/names? Then I may be able to figure it out with various console commands. Please post back.
Thanx.
There’s a reason NPC sounds and the like don’t work properly: It’s because the game cannot find them. To remedy this, you may as well extract the entire Half-Life 2 sounds, voiceovers folder and the like. The map content is in the ‘base’ gcf, Portal-exclusive stuff is in it’s own gcf, as is Half-Life 2 Episode One and Episode Two’s stuff.
A bit space-munching, but I think you’d get the more Portal experience by being able to hear everything in the environments.
Kitsu, so you would extract the entire hl2 sounds folder to which folder?
That’s totally awesome, I’m going to try it out soon. The possibilities…
Hey when you guys figure out how to get the sound working let me know Woodrow90033@hotmail.com. Also when i tried to use the portal i would sometime get stuck while going through it. Email me when u get sound figured out
hi. i tried to get the portal gun into Hl2 ep 2 with no luck. i followed instructions exactly, but for some reason i cannot get the console to open up in portal. even when i bind the key to a different key. can anyone help ?
I’m sorry but is this still do able w/o portal installed?
I don’t have portal at all
but I want the portal gun in my HL2 game can you please help me?
I feel it worth mentioning that you are not putting the Portal into HL2. You are instead running HL2 in the portal executable.
Shouldn’t it be possible to do this by simply editing the import files for portal without having to extract anything anywhere?
Nate Jones, keep in mind, these are hl2 levels on portal, not the gun on hl2.
And ya, css maps work good, just some problems with floors next to walls (you kinda sink into them if they rise and fall, like dust2).
[…] Screenshots and video included, to give you an idea of what you’re getting yourself into.read more | digg […]
Another tip: Don’t try and shoot yourself through a portal. Instant game crash.
http://megashara.com/item.php?tid=38820&page=1
Orange Box.
Free.
Register -> Download U-Torrent -> Click -> Download
if it shows in red, wait a few days (technical problems with the tracker)
Insanely buggy. Not worth trying at all right now. So many glitches that it makes it almost unplayable. Sound disappears constantly, you get stuck in random places and tons of game crashes. Take my advise, do NOT try this.
i wanna know if ur able to play wit css lan multiplayer i already did hl2 its insane i love it
those of you having problems with invalid BSP files while loading the maps, make sure you update your half-life 2 via steam before extracting it with gcfscape
This is a great mod! Thank you so much. Perhaps someone could list the different types of surfaces that are able to be shot with the portal gun? Also, this opens up the doors for a wide variety of new custom maps!
If there are two people with portal guns in a server and they shoot 4 prtals wtf will happen? it would be amazing to play with other people on lan servers because it would open new possibilities in portal technology. surf would be awesome. if this weapon could make it to the internet on css its hard to imagine the possabilities. oh yea i tried hl2 on portal and it kicked @$$ i still need to try putting bots into endless loops
lol
great job.
gr8 work guys!!!
fantastic stuff - just wondering if it works successfully for half life source?
exported maps folder fine
couldn’t find scenes folder
map loads fine but no textures just grid
any help u can give would be awes
cheers
dEaThWiSh
Natejones, that’s a no. You must have either each separate or the Orange box to do this.
And jake, the only thing that doesn’t work for me is the sound.
Okay I’m sorry but I’m having trouble understanding this can someone please Explain how to put this into HL2 for me sorry I’m a noob, Keeping in mind that I don’t have portal at least until my Birthday on November 9th
could someone help me pls
i want to play half-life source with the portal gun. is it possible to extract all the datas of the portal gun into half-life source? if it’s possible, could someone post it?
)
by the way, to activate tho console, you have to add ” -dev -console” to the path of the linking of the game
(sorry for the bad english
if you mean half-life source, you’re right. but not in all. first, the captured the atmosphere and second there is a graphic pack that half-life source let looks better. also half-life is a great game and i want to play it with the portalgun
sorry, i mean (not AT all
)
so any one know why portal doesnt seem to want to run my HL2 map files, all scenes copied over (unless they dont go int the portal root directory) all maps copied over, yet if i try to run a map it tells me that the map is not a valid BSP file
The voiceover files are in source sounds.gcf but they won’t work even when extracted to the portal directory as you do with the map files. Maybe it’s looking for the speech files in portal content.gcf or source 2007 shared sounds.gcf?
when nobody give an answer, nobody know what to do. if you did it exactly like the “manual” it say i can’t help you. i did it so and it works
This looks incredible. this might sound like a silly question however is this for the pc only or can i apply to my xbox 360?
Nate Jones. You need Portal for this to work, no exceptions.
BTW, the color annoyance is due to the sun. disable the lighting from the sun, disable the problem.
I’m from Russia =) cool =)
hi how do I get the portel gun for my 360 version 360
HOW TO MAKE SOUNDS WORKING:
1) open “source engine.gcf” in GCFScape
.
2) go to “hl2″ folder
3) extract “scripts” folder to your portal folder (”..\Steam\SteamApps\[your_name]\portal\portal\” or if you have a copy of portal in SourceMods folder: “..Steam\SteamApps\SourceMods\portal\”)
4) sounds from original HL2 are working now, but portal gun sounds are missing
You can modified “game_sounds_weapons.txt” file in your “portal\scripts” folder - add lines from “portal content.gcf >> portal\scripts\game_sounds_weapons.txt” on end of file. Or use this one:
http://rapidshare.com/files/64200794/game_sounds_weapons.txt
And you can fix the background images, maps, titles … by use modified files from HL2 (folders resource, scripts…).

Baso88 nice going. I was working all day trying to puzzle this out. There are still a few issues though. Enemy weapons are disabled, health automatically regenerates, and crouching is disabled. I can understand the health and weapon issues because health regeneration was in Portal and the weapons of HL2 weren’t in Portal, but no crouching? Weird.

How could you get the portal gun into Garrys mod? Is there someway to load it using the console?
I know there is the mod for gmod but that is buggy and doesn’t really work right.
Awesome! I was able to shoot myself in the back when I set up the portals for “chase yourself” mode. :¬)
Too bad no MP yet… that’s what I’m looking forward to most!
thanks
Instead of impulse 101 type this in console:
———————
sv_cheats 1
give Weapon_Portalgun
upgrade_portalgun
sv_cheats 0
———————
Or even easier, type this in console (you only have to do this 1 time, it well be set each next time you start the game):
————————————————————————
bind - “sv_cheats 1;give Weapon_Portalgun;upgrade_portalgun;sv_cheats 0″
————————————————————————
Now each time you start the game, just push the “-” button to get the portal gun. now you can play the game just like normal but with the portal gun and without all the other guns.
I think someone should update this site, don’t you think?
I mean, there’s about a hundred comments asking for the 360 verison of this (a disclaimer saying that this is a PC-only mod would be great), then, someone figured out how to implement sounds and get rid of that annoying halo flashing about you…
really, those are serious additions to the mod, especially the sound, SOMEONE should update the site….
and now once and for all:
THIS WON’T WORK ON 360, OR HL2:DM EITHER, and could you please stop quoting various sites referring to the mod?! annoyance…
and I thought you can’t shoot yourself… now, does it crash if you do or does it not? I want to know that…
am i the only one, who’s game crashes at d1_canals_01, when you’re about to get a jolt from the vortigaunt thing, and also d1_canals_02 and d1_canals_03 goes crash, isnt fun playing hl2 with portal, if you cant play it 100% from the beginning, also i noticed that none of the actor npc’s talk, like gman, breen, not even alyx, could be because no npc in portal has any scene to talk with, anyways, played fine untill d1_canals_01 when i go inside that container thing
If I install this under Steam Mods/, is there a way to launch it by command line without going through the Steam launcher?
hi,
this is a really cool idea! i tried it with my german version, but the NPCs wont talk and the Combines dont react on my char (maybe because i passed the “Bucket”-Punishmend?). we’ll, i try the english version (swichtig thinks to english) in the hope that it works!
ah, i’ll try this with the good old “half life:Source”, that’s a good idea, tough.
ah, maybe you can change your playermodel to gordon with setmodel XXXX (XXXX = name), i played as barney (only the model!!) as well
ah, maybe you can drop me an email, why my npcs didnt react on me?
Dang no love for 360 owners…wish i could use the portal gun in Half Life
Ok i have the orange box….
and have won the Portal game / very fun game
but im wondering…..I will NOT lose any games if I start messing whit the files
that are showed here above

Hey HL2 with the portal if very funny! Just a question. In portal u can , i f u set the portals right u can see the protagonist in the game. So in HL2 if u use the portal do u see gordon?
donno
but i one question :
that : ’scenes’ folder
it’ says: Do the same with the ’scenes’ folder
do i need to extract the folder to /portal/portal ……again ? or what !
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
I cant get the console up

There is a way to play MP in portal but the portal’s will crash you if you get too close or try to use them….
Also. Merge Scenes to fix the no talking npcs if you have it.
а по русски никто не может выложить как че делать то а?

Please, help me my console in portal-HL2 not working,
This was a triumph. I’m making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS.
I would love to play this. Alas, I am a console gamer. Don’t resent me for that. I still led Gordon to the end of his missions.
The developer community that surrounds Valve is truly amazing to me.
Я тоже прошу народ разобравшийся в этом деле подсказать как все-таки это “вытворяется”.
Сбросьте мне на мыло плз =) zighvart@rambler.ru
I REALLY LIKE THE CAKE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[…] Portal-Gun in HL2 […]
How do you merge Scenes? An explanation please.
just wondering… someone said to get rid of the stupid glare thing that you had to disable shadow or something… how can i do that?
also does it make everything dark if i do this?
p.s. if i were to uber mod my 360 how would i go about doing this?it would be so much less laggy on 360 but if its to hard i guess ill have to deal. (with an awesome gun in hl2 your not suposed to have untill episode 3…)
:Dlawl:D
we do what we must because we can
for the good of all of us except for the ones who are dead
the portal ending made me cry. not cause the song, but because they wasted a perfectly good cake! =P
There is no Portal gun in episode 3, The Borealis weapon is something altogether different, I don’t think the Portal Gun would be “dangerous”. We’ll have to wait to see.
Now someone mentioned having to merge the scenes folder to get the NPC’s talking again but didn’t say HOW to do it, tried google and google just points back to this page. So if anyone can come forth with some helpful information please do. Otherwise this trick is useless. Just like the black hole device in Episode 1.

thanks

Why dont someone just put all of this crap into one fucking folder and put it on the internet? So every1 can download and put in their /sourcemod folder? I know its not that much work for me to do this.. But i really aint the mood for extracting, finding, searching and editing all day… Just wanna play some portal:D
SO PLEASE: Put the whole thing on filefront.com or something!
Yeah, people who have a 360: THIS GUIDE ISN’T FOR YOU. Anyway
I also had to extract other folders to get it to work, no problem there. Thing is, when I load it up - everything works but there is a big line of white text that says “AI DISABLED”. I tried ‘ai disable/enable’ in the console - nothing. Does anyone know what I have to do to get the AI back? It’s not worth playing cause it’s like a creepy ghost town; no one moves or does anything at all.
Thanks!
My game crashes evertime I try to load a map… Any ideas?
I can’t get Steam to recognize the game when I copy the Portal folder from steamapps\(user_name)\portal\portal to steamapps\SourceMods\ I’ve tried copying the second portal folder or the first portal folder. When I restart Steam I see nothing new. I also tried the files baso88 posted with the same results.
where file with instruction?
на руском
Haha, the best trick in the book is to use a console command which allows you to shoot portals on ANY surface, as long as it is not moving and you have enough space.
sv_portal_placement_never_fail 1
but what happens with the sound there is no sound at all!! =\
hi.
i’ve got a problem. i was able to get the portal working in Half-life 2, but i won’t get the sound working right. well, i can hear the shooting sound and the walking, but all the voices are missing. doas anybody know how to fix this ?
btw. sorry for my bad english…
thx
[…] Meanwhile a search of Moddb reveals that no Portal modding projects have yet been announced. Tsk, get a move on Modders. (Yes, that’s your cue to link to a Portal mod, readers.) I guess in the meantime we’ll just have to play through all of Half-Life 2 with the portal gun.” […]
I’m having the same problem as llama.
I try and get to a new map and the game crashes.
baso88: I’m having the same problem as effbee. I’m not sure how to integrate the mod with my steam menu.
haha, I played through a little bit, but it crashed a few times with effects like electricity being rendered so many times in an infinite loop.
all the half life 2 maps were fuched up, they said ERROR every where. i dont know what i did wrong!!!
I’dont want to mess up my portals and half-life 2 games, so can i set this mod appart from the half-life 2 and portals games.
so that i can play portals, half-life 2 and this mod appart.
Ps: sorry for my bad english
There seems to be many people complaining they can’t get this to work but just to make you people at Primotech happy I thought I’d leave a message saying I have! Followed your guide then followed baso88s guide for sound and it is working almost perfectly. Occasionally I can’t move when I’m near a portal but by firing the gun again it works. Some of the chapters (but not all) still have their portal pictures when you start a new game but overall very well done and thanks very much. Please let me know if you work on any other things to do with portal, e.g. maps, a new portal-like game or *fingers crossed* portal gun in deathmatch :D. Good luck and thanks again.
!!!да конечно весело, но всёже это говно…. чё в падлу по старинке зайти в здание и вломить ломом по хрепту???? понапридумывали всяких хреней чтобы легко и не парясь можно пройти было бы игру….. а нормальные пацаны рубят ломом по темечку и в хуй не дуют!
Guys I need help I installed portal and can’t even run portal it says I need direct 8 or higher, but I have directx 9c. I know this is not about hl2 portal but maybe someone allready solved the problem so please help I really want to play hl 2 portal
P.S my portal is nonsteam
[…] you’re done with the game, go download the Hl2: Portal hack, and take on Half-Life 2 with the portal gun. It’s a whole new playing […]
Reading these comments makes my brain sad.
Will this work on my toaster?
If I have a GameCube and a really old TV, can I make colored sparkly unicorns come through the portal?
Please explain your explanation in excruciating detail, while bearing in mind that I’ve never seen Portal or Half-Life or Zork or Visicalc. I’m only 4 years old and my parents won’t let me play this game until I’m 16. Also we have no electricity. Or inside plumbing. But my daddy has an iPhone. Can I make this work on my daddy’s iPhone? He’s not my real daddy though. I don’t want him to punch me anymore, so please give me instructions on how not to be punched. Except through the portal, cause that would be cool, even if it hurt.
ok i downloaded all the right stuff i downloaded portal-(torrent) i have hl2(torrent) i put both of them in the right places the way you told me how to…it loads tha background when i play but i cant load any of the portal lvl’s or use the portal gun……every time i try a lvl it says ‘map is version 20 expecting 19′ and with the gun it says attempted giving unknown entity type ‘weapon_portalgun’

Help me please!!
[…] might also have to check out this Half-Life 2 hack that allows you to play HL2, HL2:1 and HL2:2 with aide of the handy dandy portal gun. Take that […]
sultan
bit of a dink there =)
BUT…. you’re spot on
woa, looks great. i cant wait to try it out!
how about: Half Life 2: Reality Decay for a name?
great mod but u need a vid 2 explain it simpler
can you put portals in css?
how about importing the portal game files into the hl2 folder? would that solve the problem of speech and other sounds when putting hl2 files in the portal folder? would that work?
Hahahahhaa I have tried it in Half-Life 1 and Opposing Force. It works a bit slow, but it works
It goes with all games that includes bsp files.
I doesn’t work with Doom III
Half-Life I
Opposing Force
Blue-Shift
Counter-Strike
Half-Life II
Counter-Strike Source
Half-Life II : Episode One (which includes also a hidden weapon)
In the console first type:
“hopwire_vortex 1″
After that type in:
“give weapon_hopwire”
Now use this!!
Half-Life II : Episode Two
It all goes
You can put all the weapons from Half-Life II into Portal
Sounds like we all have to play it again, but now with the new weapons
Have a great time
The_System
Would be nice if the SMOD Mod Team take a look at the portal gun to “integrate” it better than a normal man can do. Would be a nice additon to their huge arsenal of weapons…
o yea, its also helpful, if you go to ‘run’ and then paste this:
C:\Program Files\Steam\
o yea, how the hell do you get the sound? it doesn’t have sound. that is a very important part of play.
like, I can do the portals, but there is no sound, what kind of sick fuck are you?
@The_System:
How do you play hl1 with the portal gun (and the other games)?
Please explain it!
agreed, sultan, buying fps for consoles is gay, you cant add mods, cant add maps, you cant do anything, since theres no OS. just get portal and hl2 for PC if you guys wanna do this.
sounds great at any rate, but this is a really obvious thing to do, i learned how to add maps to a game months ago, when i got hl2.
sry, theres no edit post here.
to play hl1 like this, extract teh maps the same way, unless the format is old, i wouldnt wanna play hl1 no matter wat anyway, but do that. same steps.
again, no edit post here.
hello-iam retarded, you have to extract the sounds from portal too, hl2 doesnt have those sounds. duh??
i hate not being able to edit my posts…
seth, thats a great idea, SMOD ccould use that, and dont forget HMOD, its better then SMOD, lots more weapons, with almost all the SMOD weapons!! total weapons in HMOD: about 60.
this sux, no edit!!
MaKeNzY on October 31st, 2007 6:56 am
P.S my portal is nonsteam
well, thats ur problem. get the retail version, its not expensive, just buy it legal. or get the orange box, or if you dont want all those, get the black box.
cant help but ask, im lazy.
wikinobu on October 26th, 2007 5:48 am
also does it make everything dark if i do this?
p.s. if i were to uber mod my 360 how would i go about doing this?it would be so much less laggy on 360 but if its to hard i guess ill have to deal. (with an awesome gun in hl2 your not suposed to have untill episode 3…)
what gun would that be?
Круто! Только я ничего не понял, но всё равно круто!
Кто знает русский? Переведите мне, что нужно делать
Hi, i really love Orange Box. and i beat Hl2 and Portal (including advanced levels).
This Mod is SWEET i wish i could use it. . .. becuz i have 360 verison
If anyone has a link or nos away you could get this mod on the console version PLZ! Email is followed (replie to me with email cuz i probly won’t go to this again)
Thanks for reading
Okey so you probably have tried getting the portal gun into multiplayer games.. But what about instead of having the portal gun as an standalone gun, you put the effects of the portal gun into the grenade trower of a veapon or something?
OK i’m stupid (get that out the way). I’ve done the whole portal gun in hl2, but i have no background music and the characters say nothing, also i cannot complete the game when i get to the citadel as when the weapons are taken away and you’re left with the gravity gun, the grav gun is not “up-graded”, Can anyone help me with this please :’(
Well everything seems to be working properly except for the fact that I can’t shoot. That is the left mouse button does not work in-game at all, the right mouse button does tho. The flashlight doesn’t work either. I read most of the comments and no one else seems to share this problem. Any help would be appreciated.
when i extract the hl1 maps into the portal\portal\maps folder and then enter e.g. map c1a0 in the console, the console says unfalid bsp file, or something like that
Hello. is this for half life 2: portal on Xbox 360? or can this be done on the Regular Xbox with the regular Half Life. If so, can someone please let me know where I can get portal files
thanks! :]
i also share the same problem as ffff, the flash light doesn’t work. everything else does
@Mystievel
This is for hl2 orange box on the PC, and no you can not get portal files to half life 1 because it is a different engine.
@Gstreng
From the steam portal forums it seems the problem is not getting the portal gun into multi player but that it crashes when a player tries to go through a portal.
Has any one else who has played the coastal level NOT got the buggy. The women says “hop in and i’ll lower you down” but alas there is no buggy to hop in to. Any one know how to fix this ? please
hey, i was wondering if this will work on half life the original or on counter strike or any other games.. portal was awsome and ide love to use it in other games

[…] if all that dreaming enough, a new guide from PrimoTech lets you bring the Portal Gun into Half-Life 2, which leads for a completely new level of […]
OK guys, here’s the deal on the sound. You can locate where all the HL2 sound files are, and where the Portal sound files are via GCFScape. You can even extract all the folders within the portal content.gcf file, overwrite it’s sound files with the extracted HL2 sound fles from the source sounds.gcf file, create a shell folder named portal content.gcf, then turn it into a gcf file with this tool:
http://www.fileplanet.com/148080/140000/fileinfo/Half-Life-2—GCF-Editing-Suit
However, even though that theoretically should create a gcf that adds the HL2 sound files in with the Portal sound files, Valve monitors changes within gcf files so even if you thoroughly udate before editing and launch in offline mode, you’ll get a “Portal is not ready to be played in offline mode” error.
Furthermore the gcf file you just created is automatically deleted! You will see in the readme of the version of GCFScape in the above link that the creators of GCFScape have not yet found a way to nor do they recommended creating or changing .gcf files because of Valve’s monitoring of them.
Even if someone does find a way to circumvent the HLLib.dll file that reads the gcf files, you may risk losing your Steam account doing so. The HLLib.dll file cannot be found in the game files, but you WILL see it in GCFScape files. This may mean that Valve uses such a file (or something similar) server side to read your gcf files when updating your game.
Thus I will likely play through this a bit without sound then try the Portal Gun addon to Garry’s Mod, which uses the Gravity Gun as the Portal Gun.
“…create a shell folder named portal content.gcf,…”
Oops, I meant a shell folder named portal content, MakePakGUI adds the .gcf when it converts it. It’s all moot anyway due to Valve’s gcf checking. Steam definitely restricts modding potential.
How it might be without steam? Sorry for my bad English
Hello, i just installed this, and it works GREAT.
You have menstiond how the portal gun intends to give a glow around you.
I have not fully tested this idee yet, BUT i think i found a good way to deal to that problem.
It happens when you give yourself the portal gun, so simply, save the game wen you already have the portal gun, and load your saved game
It works great, I did everything this forum said and it workds f@#$$ fantastic.
Oh, BTW. It is preferable to use a second machine with the stuff installed on it. The first machine can be for your online CTF or DM so those files are protected and you get to keep your account. The second machine is the mod machine that will not be used to play online DM or CTF and stuff.

I love the idea of having portals in HL2 but i have incountered a problem. When I open the file where the HL2 content.gif is supposed to be, it is not there. I have the portals content.gif but not the HL2. Is there something that I did not do to HL2 that I was supposed to in order to access the files. I do have the HL2 music, icons, characters, etc. I just cannot not find the maps or scenes. Please help a die-hard Half life fan.
cant get it to work… all i get is a message that says the maps are “pending”
ex) when i type maps * to get the list i get a column on the left hand side saying pending with an “fs” before every map listing.
when i try to load a map i get prompted with the word “pending” in console before the map name i just typed in like: “pending map d1_canals_01″
cool idea though. help? i cant believe im the only one having trouble with this :[
is there cake in this if u put a portal in the sky?
I know it has been said before, but I feel the admin should inlude a line in the article above along the lines of “No console boy! This does not work on the 360 and NO you cannot do this if you dont have portal!” No more bloody stupid questions! Please.
Some one asked for a compiled version of this so I made one. Not quite finished, uses a suggested name “Reality Decay” and script by baso88. Check it out soon!
nice…
ok so i did this and i started playing there is like no sound and i keep fallling through the world or i get stuck mid port or some other glitching like that is there a way to fix?
I successfully got the portal gun to work in HL2, But for some reason now the combine won’t attack me. Any Ideas?
is it possible to reverse engineer the process to move the portal gun from Portal to HL2 instead of moving maps and scences from HL2 to Portal?
i would pay US$10.00 to buy this as downloadable content on my PS3

This is pretty awsome. I’ve been wondering if there was a way to get the Portal Gun into Half-Life 2
It is awesome, but is there a way to put in HL2 audio?
also, NPCs can go through portals. I had one on the wall, and the combine walked into it (he was just strafing to avoid bullets or something.
Is it possible to play half life 2 when you have only installed portal? I know most of the stuff is there (possibly all of it). So is it possible?
is there any way of importing the portal gun weapon file into hl2 ?
this is probably A dumb questiob but can you do this with half-life 1
and opposing force and blu-shift?
I know where the coulerd cloud cums from if u look closly in 1 of the apeture sience blah test the orange portal make a cloud for a short while
Not sure if it has been said before, but in Portal, type impulse 101 in the console to get the HL:2 guns
I’ve extracted all the map files and scene files into the Portal maps and scene folders respectively. In the console, after I type:
maps *
the console lists off all the maps (including a “[pending]”) beside each map. When I request to load d1_canals_01, it begins to load the map, fails, closes the program, and displays a message that it crashed.
Is there any suggestions as to what I could do to properly load the half-life 2 files into Portal?
Do you have to have portal for it to work?Would it work in half-life 2 demo?
I have a problem with Video (Out of Date..Rebuild) and Sounds. I think that I must try to extact the Material, Sounds and Models
I think that will work 
Hey, i dont have about 90% of the HL2 Textures showing up? Ive followed the directions, and thought i should ask if anyone knew what i screwed up.

I want play portal gun on Half Life 2 PC games I can’t understand too much info hard for me. Must download exe - easy set up.

If anyone knows how to do this if you only have:
Portal and Half Life 2: Deathmatch
are you ament to be invinsible?????
Sweet! I hope this will be a Downloadable content for the Xbox 360! Not many of us have high-speed computers, unfortunally.
Классно, кто сделал такую фишку ообще Бог
I did everything u said but it doesnt work when i type “map” in the console for some dumb reason. T.T
DAMN! finally got this working. It was neglected to mention that you need to change the name of the folder you put in the sourcemod folder. if you leave it as “portal” then the gameinfo.txt will look in that same folder for all the files it needs from the ORIGINAL “portal” folder, hence not finding an executable or anything. hope this helps. now to try this out!
Works great! i just wish i knew how i could put on the hazard suit, or if i even can, as the female portal character
HELP!! I cant get it to work
i only have ep. 1 and do have content :O
sorry DONT have a content file…
would it be safe to put the portal content into the half life 2 ep. 1 area and just use impulse 101?
Is it just me, or can you not get shot? i can’t hear enemy gunfire, nor can i get hurt. not like i would get hit much, thanks to portals, but it bugs me.
Hello! I have a question we all (almost all) need help on. The question is “How To Get The Sound Working With Both Portal gun and Half-life 2 sounds (Effects, background music Voices, etc..)” I do not understand The one that was posted for how to apply the sound. i would like the person explaining it To put it in easy steps like Copy this to here, Exact this to here, and so on and so fourth.
Thanx alot.
Can you do this on the 360 version?
you can’t mod dvd, especially a dvd with a hidden encrypted partition
so no, 360 is out of the question. also, for the previous poster, someone posted a zip file that contains all the files you need, you just need to copy them over. the only gripe i have about this now is that enemy weapons fire sounds are not heard (probably just the combine soldiers anyways). if you want me to repost the file, with instructions, let me know here, or email me and i can send it
to quote from baso88, for ppl too lazy to scroll up or search:
“Here is my package fixing New game menu, sounds, titles, name and icon of game (mod) in Steam…

How could I enable AI?
But I also tried to copy and merge the whole hl2 folder into portal.
The mod works, but the AI doesn’t work at all!
I tried all commands, like ai_disable 0, ai_resume etc. but it keeps do nothing. Which file contains the AI, because I think the scenes and maps folder doesn’t contain it…
I think there would be another way to do the modding: if we could copy the portal gun into the HL2… But which is the necessary files?
this will work on any source powered game so when a new source game comes out you can put the portal gun in that
how cool is that in like 10 years you can use portal gun in the best selling game ever or somthing and make it even better!
anybody figure out how to make it work in sin episodes yet? im pretty sure i got everything right, except it wont load the background files for the starting menu…and YES ive tried extracting all the content from all the sin episodes gcf files (models, scenes, sounds, everything…). could someone please confirm whether it does work with sin episodes? it should, that would be soooo sweet.
does it work on garrrysmod
And will u kind, and share the guide with me?
Could sy figure out, how to get the AI work?
Or how to copy the portal gun into the HL2?
The mod works, I can merge Portal with HL2, but there are no AI…
Mention it I got originally extracted versions of both games, so I needn’t mess with gcf files, just drag&drop.
um do i have to buy portal or can i download the parts i need for this
i’ve got the portal gun with full sounds and everything inside fakefactory’s cinemetic mod 4 (texture and sound overhauls for half-life 2 IT ROCKS!). minor things here and there, enemy’s gun sounds aren’t heard, a small bit of animation is missing (teleporter rings in kleiner’s lab) and it seems the titles for weapons and chapters need tweaking. otherwise, this is awesome and works great. wish i could figure out where i can stop portal from auto regenerating health. It’s probably located inside some config file that’s still inside one of the portal gcf files. I’m sure we’ll hack it though

Hi I can’t get this working on my timex sinclair.
It just says “syntax error”.
Any suggestions?
Well nvm i got it fix’ed..
And i moved it to Steam\SteamApps\Source Mods\ but were do i launch the game now?
how do u go on Steam\SteamApps\(your_steam_id)plz tell me
To “cant get this to work” Just open op my computer go in your hard drive go to your local disk go to programs or program files go to valve then steam the steamapps and then you name on steam
it will only show up as a mod if it has a different name than “portal”. if you put it in the sourcemods folder, make sure to rename it to something else, like hl2-portal, since the gameinfo.txt already looks for the portal folder, and you have this one named portal, it finds this one first, which is incorrect. just rename it.
