thanks for the tutorial! really simple, straightforward with a pinch of comedy. Good job man! :)
I tried this and it worked first try which is surprisingly for me cuz that doesn't usually happen
Omg it worked and my portal gun is now filled with memes, I'll be going around and I'll just see the scout head from tf2 with pitch white eyes and a mixture of Michael Jackson and Bart Simpson looking at me, I love it and amazing tutorial, it didn't work at first because I had my game open the entire time but after restarting the game it worked amazingly. I subbed
Thanx dude i ahve been loking for you cuz ik you have good explenation
It worked, thanks mate.
thanks! worked really well!
cheers mate this worked and was very simplie
worked first try! tysm

just take the custom image out of the folder.
bro ur the best thx
i love how portal refuses to work for me unless its two texture files im changing
if in vtfedit it says that you cannot replace the file just save it as another name and extract it into the custom portal folder
Can you make a tutorial for how to add custom music? for example, the music that plays during the credits?
uhhh yeah im gonna need a download for that miku skin chief!

I don't understand how to make it so you only change specific colors and just tint them in ms paint it only covers it up can someone help me?
It say there's an error: "Error loading VTF. Error: File signature does not match 'VTF'."

same method, just instead of the portal gun texture, do the elevator texture. You can do this with any texture in the game.
i tried make my portal gun into gradient i followed your steps but it didn't work for some reason
thanks for the tutorial! gcfscape doesnt work because of some missing file thats probably in windows 3.1!
So, while I was doing this I got stuck on step 2 since the "Steam" folder wouldn't appear. Both in GCFScape and in my regular files. Where's steam? Where did it go? Who is the steam? What is the steam? Jokes aside, please help im so confused right now

Idk, maybe you saved steam in a different drive? Never heard of this issue.
does this work with cracked portal 1 as well?
When I open it with GCFscape (the file, yes its the right one) it doesn't work. It just comes up with "Root" on the left hand side, nothing else.

Re-downloading GCFscape fixed it
Does the same thing work for portal 2? Just wondering because I don't like the damaged portal gun texture there.

I did everything in the video but the texture is wrapped on the model wrong now and idk why Edit: If anyone else has this issue make sure to double check the image size. Somehow mine went from 1024x1024 to 512x512. It HAS to be 1024x1024

You don't have to restart steam for it to work, it should just automatically be implemented.

Some problems could be your texture file is the same, and you're just putting it in and you don't know it. Another could be all the files aren't the exact name, in which case you would have to change them because source can be really specific on that stuff.
