Portal Beta Mod

[Monica Okane]

Greetingsall! It has certainly been a while since i've visited this page. I used to be heavy into the valve game modding scene, but life has since gone on and gotten busier, although I still very much love valve games. I wanted to clarify something: the beta content is provided in as-is condition. This is the reason there are no level transitions. I simply fixed them up to be playable on (most) systems. If you wish to pick this up and make it better, please contact me at my email, and I will probably allow it. Thank you for listening! I hope that someday, if life eventually permits, I will re-enter this Valve game modding scene.

I just found what causes the issue.

This specific map doesn't seem to be fully compatible with the current dll files in Portal's bin folder.

The original Project Beta always worked fine, but is always stuck with default FOV set at 75.

So I replaced the dll files with the ones from the retail game to have the FOV slider.

As soon as I reached that part, it crashed too with the exact same error.

Since this revived version doesn't come with it's own dll files, it uses the ones from the base game instead by default.

A new Open Data Portal (ODP) is launching soon! Developer Hub will continue to run in parallel with the new ODP through 2025. Thank you for your help in moving us out of beta. Learn more about the new Open Data Portal on data.uspto.gov.

A member of the Valve Cut Content community acquired a hard drive from Valve containing a development archive of Portal dated December 2006 back in early 2015 that contained materials, models, particles, and sounds from as early as 2005. Their intention was to make a total conversion mod for Portal that allowed players to dynamically switch between development eras and this mod was known as Portal Project-Beta.

The 2005 iteration of Portal largely took design cues from Half-Life 2, especially Nova Prospekt. Most notably, instead of being guided through the facility by GLaDOS, the player was to navigate the facility alone and eventually escape. Instead of facing GLaDOS, during the escape sequence the player would instead have to manually escape the facility. In the final escape map, the player would have to search for car batteries to power a locked door while avoiding hazards such as turrets and fires. The escape map is the only map available for download from this era and any other publicly available 2005 campaign era maps are remakes using assets from this map.

In early 2006, the transition was made from the Nova Prospekt design to a cleaner, more sci-fi look. The doors instead of being brush based took on a new Star-Trek-like design. Some antiquated assets such as the analog clock and Combine elevator initially remained, however. The flame Portals as well as a newer, sleeker portal gun were also developed later during this era. The indicator lights were also static orange lines instead of the dotted lines seen in later builds.

Interestingly, in the Portal trailer as well as all subsequent media releases up until Portal's demonstration at GC 2006, most world props such as the exit doors and buttons were just simple ambient occlusions.

The Portal demonstration at X06 in Barcelona at the end of September 2006 introduced spiral portals, dotted indicator lights as well as a newly designed Testchamber 18, which arguably saw the most changes in level design over the course of development.

Portal in late 2006 (and essentially all development eras before 2005) was largely similar to the final product, with the exception of a slightly different map layout, textures, lighting, and a differently animated portal gun as well as a different GLaDOS battle.

Instead of using a rocket turret to blow cores off of GLaDOS, the player was to chase a fleeing GLaDOS, using rocket turrets to damage her while avoiding turret fire. One of the reasons this boss battle was scrapped was because players felt sorry for attacking an essentially defenseless GLaDOS.

Portal in early 2007 maintains almost the same design as late 2006 with the exception of some small level changes, most notably a redesigned Test Chamber 18 which can be seen in the Game Informer sneak peek.

At GDC 2007, the retail Portals replaced the older spiral portals. A newer, differently animated portal gun model with the player's hand on the barrel can also be seen. Additionally the transition is made from a male character to Chell.

It can be a big deal for Internet users when Cloudflare rolls into town. After our recent Mongolia launch, we received lots of feedback from happy customers that all of a sudden, Internet performance noticeably improved.

As a result, it's not a surprising that we regularly receive requests from all over the world to either peer with our network, or to host a node. However, potential partners are always keen to know just how much traffic will be served over that link. What performance benefits can end-users expect? How much upstream traffic will the ISP save? What new bandwidth will they have available for traffic management?

Starting today, ISPs and hosting providers can request a login to the Cloudflare Peering Portal to find the answers to these questions. After validating ownership of your ASN, the Cloudflare network team will provide a login to the newly launched Peering Portal - Beta. You can find more information at: cloudflare.com/partners/peering-portal/

As Cloudflare continues to grow, we represent an ever-increasing share of the Internet's traffic. A Network Administrator reviewing his or her network, will see this represented as an increasing cost of bandwidth, of slower than optimal request times and of bandwidth not able to be allocated for other competing traffic.

To address these problems, large networks, hosting providers and CDNs will peer with each other. That is, to interconnect their networks directly. Put another way, cut out the middleman. If I request a site on Cloudflare and my ISP is already directly connected to the Cloudflare network, the packet will traverse fewer hops, my website will load faster, my ISP will pay less to their transit provider and they can allocate that bandwidth for other sites.

There are a few different types of peering. The simplest way to conceptualize is plugging in a dedicated cable to exchange data directly between two networks. Practically, there a few ways it happens:

An Internet exchange point (IxP) is a physical location through which Internet companies such as Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and CDNs connect with each other. It typically involves a switching-fabric, that Cloudflare is already connected to. If our potential peering partner is also present in the IxP, setting up peering is a simple as network configuration, with no additional cabling required.

There are scenarios where neither PNI nor IxP peering is feasible, such as when Cloudflare and our potential partners are not present in the same physical location. In these cases, our partner can request to host Cloudflare equipment in their own data center racks. Once commissioned, the equipment effectively operates as if it were a Cloudflare data center (PoP). The cache will populate and all of our performance and reliability services will execute right there, close to our peering partner's customer.

Peering still has some costs - particularly an administrative burden. The Network Administrators have to agree the details. Commercial teams may require contractual agreements. The link has to be monitored. Therefore, most large networks will have a peering policy and prioritize peering with the networks with which they exchange the most data and will thus generate the most mutual value.

The Peering Portal - Beta, released today, allows any ASN (Autonomous System Number) network to view detailed statistics on transit data between it and Cloudflare. Existing partners can use it to review existing session data and statistics and prospective partners can use it to estimate potential transit cost savings, performance improvements and the freeing up of upstream bandwidth to use for other traffic.

So, whether you're a current peering partner who'd like more insight into your current traffic with Cloudflare, or a future partner who'd like to explore the performance, financial and traffic management benefits of peering with Cloudflare, or hosting a node visit cloudflare.com/partners/peering-portal and request a login.
