Using the Portal Gun in a Regular Half-Life 2 Game
tags:
Stumble ThisSo 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:

Yeah, it's cool that you can use the portal gun on a HL2 map. But other than that, this hack blows donkey dick.
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.
HL2:Ep3 and Portal2 are one and the same. Gordon Freeman visits Aperture Science next time.
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.
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.
