Using the Portal Gun in a Regular Half-Life 2 Game

So you've played through Portal and loved every minute as much as we did. How about the ability to now play through Half-Life 2, HL2 Episodes, or other Source-powered games with the portal gun in-hand?

We here at Primotech did exactly that and are sharing this footage of "Half-Life 2: Portal" with you now.

Want to find out how you can do it too? Check out the full-writeup:

Hmm. Notice how when he's just standing there looking at all those Combine soldiers they don't hurt him? Hell, their gunshots don't make any sounds. Also notice that his health is always at 100. That's because when you get hurt, your health automatically goes back up. You can't use a flashlight. There's no voices. Try it for yourself and see.
Yeah, it's cool that you can use the portal gun on a HL2 map. But other than that, this hack blows donkey dick.

I'm pretty sure it's Chell that you see.

Has anyone gotten this working with Ep2? I've tried it on my own without much success, and the posters on Primotech seemed to be having trouble with it as well.

Paybacksays...

Valve had every intention for this "hack" (more of a copying of files than anything, if you want sounds, copy them too) to exist.

HL2:Ep3 and Portal2 are one and the same. Gordon Freeman visits Aperture Science next time.

MarineGunrocksays...

Way to fucking spoil it for people that haven't played Episode two, Payback.
Also, there are no folders that contain specifically sounds(Outside the instructed folders). The only other files for HL2 are a couple of .bin files. Other than that, it's all been copied if you followed the instructions.
And yeah, it's a hack. "Hack: A clever solution to an interesting problem."
Hack doesn't necessarily mean dealing with code and shit, you know.

necroposting here, but it wasn't much of a spoiler, because Gordon "visiting Aperture Science" doesn't really imply the actual known storyline - SPOILERS FOLLOW!!! - him and Alyx going to the Borealis. and vice versa, as Borealis isn't the same as Aperture Science. they've only said they'd have a CHARACTER from Portal in Ep3 (I am inclined to think it'll be GLadOS rather than Chell; it makes no sense for Chell to be on Borealis, while a backup of GLadOS could be controlling it).

considering the storyline, we also know that Borealis had large-scale, long-range portal tech, which was distinctively distinguished from the Portal gun by Valve. also, as far as gameplay elements go, no news have been released concerning whether they'll just have the Portal gun in Ep3 or make Portal2, but you know, looking from a profit-orientated perspective, it makes a LOT more sense to make 2 games especially cause you know both will be popular and successful.
