One thing before we start.
Hello! This is a guide for beemod and how to use it, NOT a guide on how to download it, maybe i'll make that a separate guide. If you do not have BEEMod, here's a tutorial on how to download it: https://youtu.be/Tn5s-UAnQcg
Getting BEEMod ready!
The first thing you'll want to do is open your BEEMod, I have mine in a folder, but yours may be on your task bar or desktop.

It'll begin loading, wait for it to open up BEEMod. I can't get a picture of the loading screen right now, but it'd be a picture of a testing chamber.

Once it does, this screen will open:
I may have more elements then you, that's because in the Discord, there is something called a UCP (user created package) these are basically mods for BEEMod. I won't be including how to make them or download them in this guide.

Now, multiple windows may also open, just shut them for now, you can always open them again.
This image will show you what is what:
The one circled in red is the Palette, here you will be place every element that you want in your testing chamber.

The 4 buttons circled in Cyan (or whichever color, idk) are the buttons to open the windows you just closed, we'll run through them later.

The button circled in light green is the randomize button, if your palette hase empty spots, it'll randomly choose elements to go in those empty slots.

The large board circled in purple are all the elements, here you will see elements in the vanilla PeTI, Custom elements, and elements in Portal but not in vanilla PeTI. I'll empty my Palette, I have it saved, so don't worry.

The ones circled in yellow you don't have to worry about for now.

Now that you're ready, proceed into the next section to learn more!
How to use and navigate BEEMod.
First thing you'll wanna do is select a new palette with all of the essentials, this saves time, blood sweat and tears for you to shed later. First, click the button with an arrow pointing at it and is circled,
Then click the next button circled (portal 2 collapsed), this will give you the essentials for making a test chamber.
Next we should choose some new elements to use! You can go around, right clicking elements to see what they do, I'd recommend checking out the Portal Gun Pedestal and Auto-Portals, they're pretty cool. I'll be choosing some too now, and then I'll show you what I chose, but you don't have to choose what I choose. I won't be choosing a UCP item, so don't worry.
This is my palette! Now, we should decide on a style! Yes, a style! What is a style you ask? Oh well, nothing but the thing that makes BEEMod so popular! Styles are different version of the PeTI chambers, Old aperture, Overgrown, Clean, Portal 1 (Portal 1 is extremely buggy as of the latest version.) Now, let's see how to change styles.
Now, I just opened this, but don't worry! I'll show you how to as well!
Click the E button next to the P button you pressed earlier, now that we opened this, we can change the style now!
Now that we've spotted the button we need to press, we should press it.
Alright, You can choose which style you want, I'll be going for Clean Original, it's personally my favorite.
Now, we should choose the voice we want! Such as GLaDOS, Wheatley, Nigel (if you're using Aptag) Cave Johnson, who ever you want. Once you choose the style you want, press OK and press the button below it (not use suggested)
Now that you pressed the button, this screen will pop up, choose the voice that you want much like a style!
I chose GLaDOS for this, but you can go Cave Johnson or Wheatley.
Now, press the button right to the left of the Voice button, it has a cogwheel, and choose the voicelines! Just check and uncheck the ones you want, I won't be putting an image for this one, sorry!
(... Choose your voicelines first before proceeding.)
Now for music!
Once you pressed the Music button, choose (once again) the music you want, there should be a preview button beside the title of the music.

That's the end of the preparing! Now to export to Portal 2.
There we go, as simple as that. Be careful of UCP's if you try them, they can cause leaks and break your chambers.
BEEMod UCP'S
This section is kind of like a bonus, I know I said I wouldn't be putting the tutorial on how to find and download UCP's, but I guess we're here now, aren't we?
Anyways, first you should find your Packages folder in you BEEMod folder.
Your BEEMod folder will be in a different spot than mine, but try to find it if you don't know where it is.
Anyways, open it and look for a folder named "Packages", here you should have put the packages here whenever downloading BEEMod, but in case, i'll show you where it is for me.Now open it, and join the discord, it should be in BEEMod itself, heres an image of where to find it:
I can't get an image of it, but press the button that says Discord and join.
Now find #ucp-releases and download the package you want, take it (if it's a zip DO NOT EXTRACT IT) and if it's a .bee_pack then take then take it and place it into your Package folder. That's all! It's not hard, in fact, it's easy.

I looked at the pictures in the guide, and saw that there are puzzle elements i don’t have in my beemod. i’m running beemod 4.4.0, i’d be glad if anyone could help me.

Sorry that all the links just got magically removed on my first reply (be aware, links on my second reply, you're next I'm sure...), it's clearly someone or something with super holy moderation powers that jumped in trying to be a hero, or somehow every link in that reply actually did become either dangerous or unavailable. Recently though, I found more packages searching for bee2 on github and choosing links that appeared to possibly have another package, and got some more items.
