This was such a good tutorial, I remember like 3 years ago when I tried to download BEE mod but couldn't just because their was no clear tutorial on it, I also believe that's why so many people don't use it, it's a shame it too it took long to get a clear cut tutorial but I'm so incredibly happy we have one now, I just download it and am about to use it for the first time
I find it very strange that beemod is unpopular since it's got so many great items and ideas even the voicelines, I wish I had Wheatley's model so he can follow me wherever I go and that 3D factory environment just like portal 2 around the test, and yes I used it

I really like this video. It is humble, yet it is exactly what you want. No more, no less. No additional plugins for subscribing, no wasting time. And I mean, I can get over the not perfect mic (still acceptable) or your child voice, because the rest is just so good. You deserve this like. "It ain't much, but it's honest work."
@@Axalotl8 Judging by you saying "hopefully i won't sound like a Child" i came to the conclusion, that you think the audio is misleading people into believing you're younger than you are.
heads up! im nopt sure but it appears if you have made an chamber and change the wall themes. fx: from clean to overgrown it will not load test chambers made with the orginial level maker. make sure you match the settings to the orginial when loading old maps
Strange thing is happening, I get ze files and i use win-rar to extract the files, then i press the beemod application and it comes up with an error. (I did direct it to portal 2)
Im having trouble finding the folder where the game is executable, ive gone to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Portal 2 but then it leads me to two folders called portal2_dlc and sdk_content what do i do
Hey, the win.zip isnt on the website you linked for either the packages or application? It just has the source code downloads? Do you know how I can still download it pls :)
when i launch it it says it did not find any packages and said to put them in a "packages" folder in the BEE2 normal folder not packages. but that folder does not exist. i really wanna make maps with this and i need help with this. Edit: Also i tried 7zip. It did not find the zipped folders.
getting the same thing but the bee2 folder that's supposed to be in the main Portal 2 folder isn't there no matter how many times i reinstalled it, did everything it told me to weirdly enough the bee2_bin folder actually is there in the bin folder and everything seems to be normal there
Call PC background by the way I don’t really know how to act in the background is like are the meeting at that sort of thing though myself body any misspellings in this most likely due to the voice to text on my iPad glitching
I still don’t understand Specifically I don’t understand how to download the items file and application I downloaded the beemod master file, is that important at all, is it the 2 downloads already combined, or?
its asking me to select where the game executable but idk what that means. edit, i saw the pined comment, i fixed it, but it said there was no packages even though i installed it so i reinstalled it and i have it now
when i go to the site to download the only options i have are the source code downloads. Will those work the same or is there a way for me to get the normal downloads?
For me when i open it it says to "select the folder where the game executable is located(portal2.exe) and when i click on the game it says portal 2 catastrophic failure
From custom map videos I see on YT, is there a way to have different styles of turrets and different coloured turrets or is that not possible with BEE?
pLEASE! I need help, When I try opening BEEmod it makes an error saying Open the file on executable etc... Now after reading some of the comments, ı also did the go to steam/steamapps/portal/localdisk thingy, and its exactly the order you showed, but I cannot seem to find the Portal2.exe folder, its just not their. PLEASE I need help! note: Wow its been 1 year and I still havent got a reply note2x: Wow its been 2 years
Hey! I don't know how to get the catwalks to work. As soon as I place it it's immediately a four-way catwalk. And If I try to put it in the sky it doesn't work, and it says "Invalid position".
Yeah the cat works are a bit janky, so place them against what ever surface you want them on and then place another one on the other side, and connect them like you do with buttons to doors and things. Hope that helps
Don't use 4.37 right now it's extremely unstable but it should be the method as downloading this version. Here is the link to 37: github.com/BEEmod/BEE2.4/releases and there should be a hyperlink for the packages

its litterally been a year...i have tried for a year...AND FINLLY I HAVE FOUND ONE

But yea
Brilliant Tutorial. Efficient and informative. Much appreciated, my friend! Bless you.
love your vids
heads up! im nopt sure but it appears if you have made an chamber and change the wall themes. fx: from clean to overgrown it will not load test chambers made with the orginial level maker. make sure you match the settings to the orginial when loading old maps
This actually really helped me! I’ll credit you in my first BEEMOD2 level I make with this!
Thanks! Please tell me when you make it!
Did ya make it?
I definitely made it a long time ago. Not sure if I followed up on my promise though, and I can’t remember which was my first
Strange thing is happening, I get ze files and i use win-rar to extract the files, then i press the beemod application and it comes up with an error. (I did direct it to portal 2)
When I opened the link there was only 2 assets the win.zip file just wasn't there
i have an issue where the textures and models from bee mod are missing. sound and function is still there i think?, do you know how i could fix this
this was soooo helpful! thx so much
Hey, I'm trying to download BEEMOD In 2022 and there is no 'win.zip' just sourse zip, Do I just follow the same to directions?
I'm experiencing the same thing i wonder if this comment gets more attention it'll be answered.
Apparently i just found out in the code there's a "README" file that contains a link to some sort of version.
Not sure if it works but it's worth a try.
its a old version
it keeps saying that I have to put the packages in beemod\BEE2_v4.43.0_win32\packages even though there is no packages folder to put them in
Im having trouble finding the folder where the game is executable, ive gone to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Portal 2 but then it leads me to two folders called portal2_dlc and sdk_content what do i do
Same for me
i feel like every item should have variants even if they dont make much sense because then you could still have more things in your palate at once.
also im not an expert on portal 2 moding, but cant you add the "auto drop first cube" check box to make items have 6 variants instead of just 3
I did everything that you said including the game executable comment, but now its not even showing up. What should I do?
I tried it but its probably its out of date and there's no tutorial for the latest version
Man, I remember having a lot of fun making absolute garbage chambers with BEEmod as a kid.
can't wait to make actually good one's tho
Vey useful i will now subscribe👍👍
Thank you ;)
Hey when i was doing this tutorial (i have done this 3 times now) I still dont have the application. Why is this happening?
probably bc this tutorial is outdated
thanks, its awesome, and yes. if anyone is wondering, it works
So you manually select on what do you want to add or remove from the palette in the game editor.
Interesting! :D
Hey, the win.zip isnt on the website you linked for either the packages or application? It just has the source code downloads? Do you know how I can still download it pls :)
thank you brother
what if it isn't on my desk top after down loading the files?
add it to your desktop ;-;
Everytime I use the application, it keeps saying " Failed to execute script "BEE2_launch" "
same with me :(
same lol
when i launch it it says it did not find any packages and said to put them in a "packages" folder in the BEE2 normal folder not packages. but that folder does not exist. i really wanna make maps with this and i need help with this.
Edit: Also i tried 7zip. It did not find the zipped folders.
Issue solved here:
ua-cam.com/video/OfBPpVXOnGA/v-deo.html
i did everything right but the stuff in the level editor is just errors
getting the same thing but the bee2 folder that's supposed to be in the main Portal 2 folder isn't there no matter how many times i reinstalled it, did everything it told me to
weirdly enough the bee2_bin folder actually is there in the bin folder and everything seems to be normal there
finally, something simple
Call PC background by the way I don’t really know how to act in the background is like are the meeting at that sort of thing though myself body any misspellings in this most likely due to the voice to text on my iPad glitching
I still don’t understand
Specifically I don’t understand how to download the items file and application
I downloaded the beemod master file, is that important at all, is it the 2 downloads already combined, or?
Works on steam? And have it glados?
when i go to play my test chamber it just makes everything white and fuzzy and i am unable to move
Hi, the tutorial was very helpful. I have 1 question though - can we place all of the items into the pallet?
Nope unfortunately not
its asking me to select where the game executable but idk what that means.
edit, i saw the pined comment, i fixed it, but it said there was no packages even though i installed it so i reinstalled it and i have it now
Better than basic editor ngl
bee2 is a godsend
for some reason I can’t find the package with the damn pannels
what panel?
The live panels? I’m looking for that too
oh the package ?
wait i give you the lastest version
github.com/BEEmod/BEE2.4/releases/tag/2.4.37.0
It doesn’t let me play
are you able to extract it with 7zip?
bruh it doesnt merge the folders when i extract both files in one folder :/
when i go to the site to download the only options i have are the source code downloads. Will those work the same or is there a way for me to get the normal downloads?
