I used an older method to put this into a map, now you could use BEE mod.

The missing texture seems to be a common issue with this older method

This is probably because you had been playing portal 2 for a while before starting my map. For some reason I haven't been able to figure out, if you've been playing for a while the texture won't work, restarting seems to fix this problem. It's an issue with source that I can't fix.

The texture to the pellet is missing, do you know how to fix that?

someone on thinking with portals (user name skotty) has developed the high energy pellet files for hammer. You'll need to pack them into the .bsp file that you publish or other people won't be able to use it.

you can find these files and related information here http://forums.thinkingwithportals.com/downloads.php?view=detail&df_id=1041

@psn_sega651 how did you get them using hammer? can this be done in a map made entirely with hammer?

I used hammer to get the pellets in the level. But the main chamber was first made in the easy edditor. Now you could use BEE mod, because that had the pellet in it.

how did you make this? i'd like to know for my map that i'm working on

I missed those things

My computer (Mac) doesn't show the texture, instead it shows a purple-and-black checkerboard-looking thing.

Ok, I thought so. I had to be sure though. Thanks!

@AD_79, I use winrar to open 7z files

Okay, the High Energy Pellet file on Thinking with Portals.com is 7z. I have no idea what program to use to extract the High Energy Pellet files.

Also, i like high energy pellets. I will play the other maps.

Well you just changed the texture of the ball, but the testing element is the old good high-energy pellet :p

If you are interested, here is my workshop ;)

This almost looks like a PTI map, setup with lasers. Did you do PTI map with lasers, then put it in hammer and change the laser to a High Energy Pellet?

My next map of the series is out! You can find it in the High-energy pellet collection, or here is a direct link: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=75673110

ok good to know ill tell u if i have the issue again

It's fine that you didn't replay it. It seems that there is a bit of a glitch in portal 2 causing this issue. Sometimes the energy ball effects won't show up..... but restarting seems to fix the issue.

also i did not replay it

i was playing tf2 and i looked here at comments and u said to restart that test so i did and it got fixed

Thats even more odd, because I haven't done anything yet.... I was looking through the file & it looked like everything portal 2 should need was there. DId you restart portal 2 or something before replaying it?

it got fixed

ok

This is strange, someone is having this issue on my second map, & now your having it on my first.... I'll have to look into this a bit more. The ball looking like a block means that there is a file missing, but I thought I embedded all the needed files in the map file. I might re-upload this map & have you play it again to see if I have fixed the problem.

no it looked like a energy pellet from portal

No, it shoulden't be that way..... was it that way on my second map?

the pellet was black and purple and like a chess board is that normal

@Hunter, yea this is my first map. I did it to make sure that the pellet actualy worked through the workshop. Would have hated to go through all that effort for nothing :P

is this your first map?

Oh, Finaly! Energy pellet! Thanks so much!

I love this concept, more please :)

The next map is out! This one should be a little hard, but not extreamly so....

Turns out this thing actualy works! Hats off to skotty from thinking with portals & packrat for .bsp files.

I'm now working on a much more complex chamber, I will post a link here when it is done. I may make more later.....
