Portal 2 - Unused White "Reflection" Gel
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 сер 2024
- This new, unused gel came with the Portal 2 update for the Peer Review DLC. The textures and particles are missing, but it still does function in certain aspects. This new gel replaced gel 1, or adhesion gel. But it still retains all the propulsion gel slide stoppage properties of the old adhesion gel. Here's the original adhesion gel video: • Portal 2 - Unused Purp...
But as for its new effects, the gel can now reflect lasers like a mirror. Chances are, this was initially planned to be used in the DLC. Valve probably then decided that merely reflecting lasers wasn't versatile enough in comparison to the other existing gels, not to mention that it was too similar to what laser redirection cubes do.
At any rate, if you want to mess around with this gel for yourself, just put an info_paint_sprayer in a map with the gel type set to "stick." If you don't know how to use Hammer or you just don't feel like using it, then there's a reflection gel map I made for download through the Steam Workshop below.

Additionally, the link below shows you how to add reflection gel to maps made in the in-game editor:

Oh, and if you're interested in custom maps, try Twin Pillars.
• Portal 2 Map - Twin Pi...
I hope this gel will be used in Portal 3!
...I hope there will be a Portal 3! Should've said that first.
There isn't going to be a portal 3, valve stated that players should continue the story
Half life 3 will be portal 3
no, neither, remember, valve can only count to two
***** did you even read my other restonse,m it means they wont make a game with "three in its name" A GAME LEARN TO READ
Bluefirefox Games and vlogs You do realised Half Life 3 is confirmed, right?
Fun fact: You know how there is a sound that plays when you stand on top of bouncy or speed gel? I was looking through the sound files, and found a sound effect for the sticky gel, it just doesn't have anything to play the sound. From where I found it, the sound file was called "Player.EnterStickyPaint".
someone make a room full of it and shoot 1 lazer and film it
aaawww....

There you go.
I was hoping they'd bring back the gel, just with its walk-on-walls properties. That would be way more fun to work with. Although, this does have some potential, possibly shooting turrets around a corner, or... yeah nothing much you couldn't already do with portals. You could use it as a requirement to move on through a test so that you can keep it in place on a slope I suppose.
Now that ray tracing is a thing, I'd love to see a reintroduction of mirror gel as a mechanic. Maybe have portals reflect off them as well?
just because too many people seem to be mixing them up...
reflection gel: something unused because they found something that did a better job. conversion gel: portal surface gel made of moon rocks.
same color, different names.
this talks about the reflection gel.
and then theres also water to wash the cubes which looks the same (in the co-op i found it idk if its in the main game i played that years ago)
Fayaz12 Gaming yes there is it
@@fayaz It appears in one or two puzzles, not counting the sprinkler in the final boss.
@@fayaz water is clear, this is white...
I would like to see someone fixing this gel and using it as a puzzle element.
The gel works and can be used as a puzzle element.
The only thing that is bad about using this gel is how it looks like conversion gel which might confuse people, and how whenever you get covered by it, It looks like you covered in speed gel instead.
someone could make a mod of this, change tge colors and all
This should have been used for portal tag!
OMG WHY DOES EVERYONE THINK THIS IS CONVERSION GEL OR WATER
There WAS an aperture tag map that actually used reflection gel. Quite amazing if you ask me.
I had an idea for this gel a while ago so I'm really happy that Valve might use it. It could be really cool for some puzzles. Someone check to see if lasers reflect off cubes coated in the gel. And it might be cool if the new reflection property made it reflect emancipation grills, so you could bring it through those... I hope this is in the next DLC :O
Bro i know i'm like 6 years late, but I dare someone to coat the entire room with the reflection gel and throw in a laser
Someone def tried it with beemod
So now i can coat myself of this reflection gel and play with deadly laser!!! :D
Yes
this was never an idea that valve had
this one is even more elusive than the adhesion gel
Its almost like this gel is theoretically used in the redirection cube to reflect the lasers. if it is, that's very clever of valve!
True. I knew about the placeholder thing.But i wasnt exactly that smart 4 months ago and I didnt pay alot of attention so lol. Also its actually not fully white. Its actually shiny to represent the fact that its Reflection gel. Though I want a sticky gel really badly, and i hope people start making mods for portal that include things like this.
I can already see myself coating the whole chamber with the gel and making a laser trap.
1,2, and 3 all appear to be correct from the previous videos I have watched. One person even got the old Adhesion Gel working.
Anyone else wishing this could reflect your portal shots? Think of the possibilities!
Unused white Gel THIS GEL WAS USED
Ive done testing, and i found that turret laser sights also bounce off the gel, and that a laser can be VISIBALLY reflected 10 times, but will con tinue as an invisible laser.
It is a set of Co-Op test chambers.
To access it, just find some random co-op partner and let them take you to it in the central hub.
For some reason in Portal 2 physics, you yourself cannot be coated in any gel... Somehow you are immune.
This could have been made into a really cool gel if it reflected other things such as those tunnel things that make you float with them, other gels and maybe even your portals. If it reflected other gels it could be used to move the gel around more and if it reflected your portals then it could make you have to bounce your portal off of a surface to hit where it needs to go.
I would pay good money for a mod like that.
It would be interesting if your portal blasts would bounce off of this metallic gel.
The reason it's purple(pink) is because the textures for the free floating blobs are missing. On almost all source games, whenever a texture is missing it defaults to a pink/black checkered texture (if you look closely you can see the black checkers as well.)
Wow!! thats awsome!
Nice, redirection gel!
it was the portal 2 secret made by valve for testing properties and made for modding custom maps, as you can see its usefull....
Congratulations apeture you invented mirrors
And yes, it is free, and it has been out for a while now.
I have the string "paint Type" - "5" and how Shreds gels fall on something, I throw the game. gel is purple, but when I type'' 1'' gel leaves a white trail, and he tchot pink, black.
When I type in "paint Type" "Sticky" flows the blue gel.
That's awesome! Someone should finish it and make puzzles with it!
they should include this and the adhesion gel in the next DLC
The worst thing in the world, coat the entire enclosed room in this gel, and the laser endlessly reflects
wait a minute
recommended to me 9 yrs later?
Awesome presentation.
I came up with an idea: Someone should take this new gel, copy the code, put it in a seperate file, and then restore the original Adhesion Gel (and create a texture for objects that are coated).
1: coat yourself in gel
2: find turret
3: find lazer
4: reflect lazer into turret
5: ???
6: profit
I think the gel was cut, because all gels were developed in 50's-80's, when there was no Thermal Discouragement Beam.
Thank you so very much! I am trying to play my map on Portal 2. We'll see how it goes... ;)
I'll try and ask him some time soon... I hope he at least will include it! I don't care how long I have to wait... I just need my adhesion gel!
the one problem i see with this, and the probable reason why it was dummied out, is because of the level of accuract you would need to use with this reflection gel. the gel also wouldn't coat correctly on physics objects or non-flat surfaces.
that would've been so awesome >_<
good work son
now
YOUR FIRED
I DON'T NEED SOME gels.......
I NEED COMBUSTIBLE LEMONS!
It's not the same exact map, but I did make a small playground sort of map that I published to the Workshop. Click on the second link in the description.
Ok, so we have:
Conversion Gel (White)
Propulsion Gel (Orange)
Repulsion Gel (Blue)
Adhesion Gel (Purple)
Reflection Gel (White)
I have a few questions since all of these gels are messing with my head:
1- The purple adhesion gel was replaced by the new white reflection gel and also reflects lasers?
2- Was adhesion gel supposed to allow the player to walk up vertical walls?
3- Did adhesion gel also slow down objects passing over it?
I'm pretty sure that was the walk on wall gel that was mentioned in one of the commentary nodes.
actuakkt i call it the mioor gel it reverse bounciness sliding and reflection so if a block is coated in the gel and placed on a blue it will not bounce!
The white gel does both for the blue and orange gel
I say a dark grey color, like looking into a mirror pond.
death like no man has ever seen before
It was made for the mirror and testing the purple gel.
you mean the redirection cube?
That would definitely work, but it seems like it would involve some serious changes to the code of a few elements of the game. Xbox and PS players would get bent over.
That was the purple adhesion gel; it was removed because it caused motion sickness. So nothing new there.
2 and 3 yes it made game testers nautious so it was removed
Not entirely true. If the laser was recoded with a weakness property, then for every reflection, say, it could be (assuming hpdmg is laser strength) hpdmg(0.25), and if the laser has a set power of some arbitrary value of 5, for instance, then the laser can reflect off of 20 surfaces before dissipating entirely, with (a=100 for opacity) a(0.5), to give the appearance of weakness.
Puzzles with resistor laser switches could be used to have the laser a certain strength to complete chambers. :P
Make a video in a square room with reflection gell on all the walls. Then place a lazer on one wall, and a lazer redirector cube in the room. I want to see what happens.
Just start Portal 2 and it will be in your list of downloaded single player maps when you select community maps or whatever from the main menu. It's just like how everything else on the Workshop works.
It takes place in the future
Where all of the humans are alive
And testing is now an artistic indulgence
Translation: It already came out.
Maybe they couldn't think of a good color!
Another cool thing Portal 2 needs. Why do they dump these fantastic ideas? (Don't tell me. I already know)
Once I get my Steam copy set up, I might make maps of the two missing gels (A few before the update, few after the update) I just gotta get it set up...
Question to the mapping community: Can you add custom images and dialogue to your maps? I'd LOVE to do that if you can! Make it feel like the real Portal 2... :D
this is the part where he kills you you use the white gel to escape wheatly you here glados say use the conversion gel
It wasn't added because there is already a white gel in which can be used to place portals on anti-portal surfaces.
@BenjaminWirtz That sounds awesome! Perhaps someone can make a mod with those features, including the removed gels, intact. Too bad I'm no good at modding... I'd love to help.
I'm almost completely certain that that is why this gel isn't in the game.
The plant on this white gel is to reflect laser but i didnt know why they removed it mybe its make the game easyier
+SHAQUILLE ALVEGA
because think......a room full of this gel + laser = constant game crashing
SHAQUILLE ALVEGA I think they removed it because they had the laser redirection cube, which did a better job at redirecting lasers.
Compiled maps, called BSP files, cannot be opened in Hammer. Decompile it back into a VMF using BSPSource, then you can copy and paste.
....... does this mean we might see something like this in DLC in the future...? OH MY GOD THOSE TESTS WILL BE HORRIBLE
@TruthNeedBeTold I think that's why they removed it...
So you can still, ya know, walk on walls? That'd be awesome.
Still, I like having the actual gel myself. Guess it's time to grovel at Omnicoder's feet...
Night.
PORTAL 16 CONFIRMED!!!!
*_LAZER PARADOX_*
Okay, good to know :D
And maybe change the color so it won't the same color, like gray.
well, i'm working on getting community test chambers, by following @goatiegames...
I wonder what will happen if you cover the whole floor with the gel and then shoot a laser?
Umm... no.
It was planned to do that stuff but got removed.
I'd say this gel would have been grey/black.
I feel like this gel would be green or yellow.
That is what GLaDOS tells you at the beginning of the DLC.
Why is the quality so low? And BTW that is a missing texture of the either orange or blue if you watched the unused purple goo
Also this want as a promotion video.
lagtastic indeed in fact, your game would likely crash
SCIENCE! :D
Just look me up on Steam. I have played Co-Op with people over in Germany before (and I live in the United States).
Apocalypse.
1-no the gels have the same color but have diferent uses
2-no
3-no
Can you hold a regular cube under the gel so it will be covered in it, what makes it kinda the same as a reflection cube?
one gel for making turrets
one gel to walk on walls
one gel to revlective the laser
one gel ...
how many gels are aviable xD?????
i all ready did click it: i got to the workshop, and subscribed to it (the map) to download it, and guess what? i'v got NO idea how to download it! how in the FLIPIN world do i download this map on steam??
Nice.
I'd love to do this, but I can't get my Portal 2 to stop crashing on my computer for Steam. But I have Portal 2 for ps3 unfortunately.
Wait, I have not time now, can we do it today later? I live in Europe, so there is probably different time. Its morning.
Um..no.
They wouldn't code the gel to reflect off of you unless they wanted that to happen, which I'm sure they didn't.I'm not sure you understand coding, it's not like they make the paint and then it works on everything instantly. They can make paint flow, but until they code it to do something, it will just be gel. And not even water, because water is coded to erase other gel.
@BOB74j Thanks. I will most definitely try it once I finish downloading my copy off steam.
Another question: Does the Peer Review DLC download automatically on Steam? I don't want it until after I make some Adhesion Gel maps...
i wonder why they didnt use the gel
That's what the cleansing gel is for.
@BOB74j And that will eventually kill you.
I guess it wasnt really needed in any part of the game.
