Help
NOTICE:
If you are having issues, be sure to read the FAQ before asking something that's been addressed a thousand times.
Just to clear things up, I DID NOT use the same method as the CCTV mod to make portals see through. Its a completely different way.
ALSO: There's reports that its incompatible with a HD Patchers, crashing with "java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Number of remaining buffer elements is 1024, must be at least 4096". The fix would be to delete tx_fizzler.png from the /mods/portalgun/portalgun/ folder, but disadvantage will be that the fizzler will not be animated.
If you have issues installing, watch the installation video by futureproof101 by the installation section. It's for the Mac, but steps are similar as long as you know how to install ML, MLMP, Audiomod and Forge already.
IF YOU DO NOT GIVE ME A CRASH REPORT I CANNOT HELP YOU.
The old portal gun trailer back in Beta 1.3_01. Good times.

Another one from Kane_Hart, also explaining what's new.
==================================================
Uses Risugami's Modloader and Audiomod, Flan's ModLoaderMp Client, and Minecraft Forge.
Uses block IDs 204 and 205, item IDs 13200+ by default. Can be changed in properties file.
Specific parts of the mod can be disabled to free up block/item IDs if required.
You can also move the properties file to the /config/ folder, which will be loaded on top of the default properties folder in /mods/portalgun/ (Makes it easier to update without losing old properties).
Thanks to Valve for the original game concept and sounds.

Known issues:
Spoiler
- If your screen turns black or freezes when there's a portal around, disable see through portals
as that is causing the issue.
- If you don't get any sounds while using the mod, and you have audiomod, copy the "sounds" and "streaming"
folders from "/mods/portalgun/resources/" into "/resources/mod/" and try again.
- See through portals are NOT PERFECT. This means there may be conflicts with other GUIs and such.
If the issues caused by it are unbearable, turn it off or set to static image.
- Advanced OpenGL being enabled causes flickering issues with see through portals.
- The sky will flicker while you're in your inventory and looking at a see through portal.
- Rei's Minimap will flicker on the default settings. Take a look in the properties file for a fix.
- Seperate mod part loading is still experimental. If there's issues do not hesitate to let me know.

FAQ:
Spoiler
Q: Woah, where's everything else that used to be in the mod??
A: The mod has been recoded from scratch, so slowly but surely, everything will come back, eventually. (Except the HEPs, which are set to a lower priority and may or may not return)
Q: So if I disable a part of the mod, that part won't take up block/item IDs?
A: Yes.
Q: Can you make this mod compatible with MCPatcher or some other mod installer?
A: No. It can't be that hard to extract a folder from a zip, can it?
Q: Can you make an installer for this mod?
A: Refer Q&A above.
Q: Can I add this mod into a mod pack?
A: Sorry, but I do not allow this mod in mod packs, other than AMCO by Arrrg.
Q: Oh! Can you add cores, Glados, etc etc to the mod?
A: I do not accept suggestions unless they are for something which is already in the mod. Period.
Q: You ask me for a crash report, but how do I get one?
A: Use MCError by medsouz and riking from here - http://bit.ly/t154lG
Q: I'm getting this crash! java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Slot XXX is already occupied by <someOtherModBlock>@7fd0e77e when adding Portal_Block<something>@6c0e42c0
A: Change the block ID that the mod uses in the properties file to an unused block ID and all would be fine.
Q: Where is the properties file? mod_PortalGun.cfg in the /config/ folder is blank!
A: As the mod doesn't use MLProp (ModLoader's config system), it has its own method of loading properties, and can be found in /mods/portalgun/. The file name is mod_PortalGun.properties.
Q: Can I make a portal map that uses this mod?
A: Sure, feel free to make your maps as long as you credit my mod and link them back here and you do not include the mod download in the map. Feel free to use the world properties file to edit any properties you want to change. Also, if you want to make the map public, DO NOT post it in this topic. Post them here.
Q: What is mod_PortalGun_world.properties in the world save folder for?
A: As some people have made their own Portal puzzle maps, some of them did not like the default settings that comes with the mod, or perhaps settings which others may have set. This file will let the map maker adjust the mod's settings to their liking to fit the map. For the file to take effect, worldOverride in the mod_PortalGun_world.properties file has to be set to 1.
Q: Can you make blocks which portals can't be placed on?
A: It's in the properties file from v5 onwards.
Q: When can you add SMP support?
A: At the moment SMP is planned, but as I start to bring everything back first, it'll be SSP for now, in order to iron out the bugs that may pop up from the recode. Trust me, fixing two different sources, Client and Server, is not fun, and increases chance of serverside/clientside bugs.
Q: Can I beta test your mod?
A: No. Don't PM me asking either, answer will still be no.
Q: Rei's Minimap is flickering when I look at a see through portal! Is there a fix?
A: For some, setting the "seeThroughPortals" property to 2 would fix it, however it is not a 100% fix. Set the property to 0 or 3 if you'd prefer that.
Q: My portals are see through but they are buggy/square!
A: Several cards may not support the processes done by see through portals very well. There is no fix I can provide. The best advice I can give is to update your graphics card drivers and hope for the best.
Q: I can't see through portals no matter what setting I put!
A: There are certain video cards which do not support the function which is being used to allow see through portals. These cards are normally Intel cards and they are not compatible with see through portals. The best advice I can give is to update your graphics card drivers and hope for the best.
Q: If so (refer Q&A above), why is it that when I shoot a portal on the moon I can see the Earth on it?
A: This is because the picture of the Earth is merely a static image. It doesn't take a lot of resources to render the extra layer rather than updating portals to make them see through. Also it would be a better indicator to stay away from the portal rather than just notice the smoke trails.
Q: I'm getting this crash! java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Number of remaining buffer elements is 1024, must be at least 4096. What's wrong?
A: This is related to the HD Patcher that you may be using. It is related to an animated texture not being large enough. Delete tx_fizzler.png from the /mods/portalgun/portalgun/ folder and it should be fixed, though your fizzler will not be animated.
Q: I'm getting this crash! java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: forge/ITextureProvider. What's wrong?
A: You forgot to install Minecraft Forge.
Q: When I play, I get a glitchy red sky and I can't see through portals! What's wrong?
A: Forge has to be installed into the jar, and the mod is OUTSIDE the jar!
Q: I'm having issues with Minecraft Forge! Can you please make it so that it doesn't use it?
A: Sorry, but no, the mod now uses a couple of APIs that Forge provides that makes the gaming experience much better, and gives me more freedom of how the mod works.
A: The mod has been recoded from scratch, so slowly but surely, everything will come back, eventually. (Except the HEPs, which are set to a lower priority and may or may not return)

Mappers:
Feel free to posts your maps here!
Do note that I only accept mods that use 1.1.0v2 or later.
If you want to make a change to the the properties, use the world properties file, in the save directory! Just make sure worldOverride is set to 1 and all is good!
If you are posting in the forums, be sure to title your map with the prefix [Portal]!
==================================================
Modders:
If you feel your blockID should not be picked up by the gun, feel free to add it to the mod's block grabbing blacklist. Simply execute this function once. Can be metadata specific.
mod_PortalGun.addBlockIDToGrabList(int blockID); or mod_PortalGun.addBlockIDToGrabList(int blockID, int[] metadata);

Portal Gun v1 for V1.1.0
ATTN:
I am aware of the bugs the mod has, I'm already working on it and its in private testing. The people testing it are happy with it due to it being much more stable, as well as the new features I've added to the mod. However, SMP support will be dropped, until further notice. Also: I no longer monitor this topic, so the best way to contact me are via PMs. However, do not expect a reply for every PM sent.
UPDATE:
Here's an awesome vid by Direwolf20, showing just a lil' bit of what's new.
A little short I made:
======================================
>>> Portal is now SMP! Many thanks to all who contributed and tested! Thanks to krnlyng for helping with the bukkit port! Get more bukkit mods here!
>>> You now need ModLoaderMp for the client even if you have no plans to play on SMP!
>>> I've plans for this mod soon, which includes a recode of most of the items in the mod, but before that I have another hurdle in life that I need to get pass first. Hope you guys be patient till then.
Meanwhile, another mod I've been working on:
============================
Update???
How updating works (as always):
Notch updates minecraft --> Risugami updates ModLoader --> Flan updates ModLoaderMp --> MCP team updates MCP --> I can update.
At the moment we're all waiting for v2.
============================
Important:
- Something has come up of which I'll only be available again in December.
- I am also working on another mod and thus work on this mod has been reduced.
===============================
Known issues in 1.1.0
- Disconnecting from server with random packets (111, 108, etc).
This needs to be looked into and i need to know which packets are disconnecting you. Pls post errors on this.
- Packet 230 errors, make sure you have MLMP on both the client AND the server.
- MEG might not erase portals.
- Portals may disappear as you walk into them.
===============================
- If you crash due to "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: BaseModMp" You need to install ModLoaderMp! hopefully they'll see it now >.>
- If you crash when placing a block such as the HEP, Grid or EEI, redownload and reinstall modloader!
- No mods folder? Make one! (in .minecraft, and nowhere else.)
- Do NOT use jzip for unzipping.
- Portals pre-1.7,3v5 might not work and may cause crashes!
- If you CANNOT CRAFT anything/don't have achievements, you installed it incorrectly.

===============================
Demo:
===============================
Uses Risugami's Modloader and Audiomod(optional) and Flan's ModLoaderMp Client for the client.
Vanilla servers require Flan's ModLoaderMp while Bukkit servers require krnlyng's ModLoaderMp!
Also uses ShockAhPI, though Optional.
Uses blockIDs 204 - 212, itemIDs 13201-13209 by default. Can be changed in properties.
The Server's basic properties are saved in the world folder.
Server's have a new command which lets you change these properties while in the server.
Eg: /pg turretMode 3
Thanks to Valve for the original game concept and sounds.
Now with achievements!
Image is outdated though.
The "Uncooperative Coop" achievement is tribute to all the testers, especially to my private testing team, which have been there with me since I rounded us up back in 1.5_01. Cheers to you fellows!
- Congrats to MrUhNonUhMuhs for first discovering the "Let My Eggs Go!" achievement.
Complete PortalCraft by Leggos_My_Eggos to get it!
- Congrats to ail_t for first discovering and posting about the "Redemption" and "Serenade" achievements.
Get an Oracle Turret to randomly appear when you are placing a turret to get Redemption!
Get 4 of them to face the same direction and they start singing!
- You get the "Transmission Received" achievement by fizzling a radio!
(To get the MEG achievements you need it set to Mode 2)
========================================
Now for the good stuff:
Default Portal Gun
Apparently mixing redstone with lapis lazuli produces an interesting substance.
Harvested properly, this substance has the ability to create a pair of portals on most areas in the minecraft world!
You press the G key to "flick the switch" on the gun and use the portal of the other colour.
You press the R key to reboot the gun, wiping out the current portals.
========================================
Single Coloured Portal Guns
Slightly offsetting the ratio of lapis lazuli/redstone will still form a Mysterious substance, but of a different property.
Used in the recipe to make a Portal Gun, these guns only fire a single colour.
If 2 different coloured portal guns are found in your inventory, they will automatically merge (can be disabled) into a fully functional dual portal gun. They can also be crafted together.
========================================
Co-op Guns
Introducing the well known Portal Guns held by Cooperative partners Atlas and P-body!
They can be made by adding a dash of dye to the default portal gun.
Atlas' Gun.
P-Body's Gun.
========================================
PotatoBaconGun
Wait what's this? A BACON GUN!?
Attaching a raw piece of pork to the top claw of the Portal Gun will build a unique chain with the wielder of the Gun.
This special chain links the wielder to a completely new set of portals!
Each player (in SMP) would be able to use the same gun to generate seperate types of portals!
These portals would last even after the player leaves the server.
Colour of portals is configurable in the properties file.
========================================
Portal Gun Pedestals
These pedestals automatically fire portals if you place a portal gun on them. You right click them with any type of portal gun and they will accept them.
These need to be powered by redstone and will give you a portal gun if you walk into them.
========================================
Portal Spawners
These blocks will spawn portals on them, if powered by redstone. Their Portals last even after the redstone power supplied is cut! (configurable)
The colour portal that spawns is toggled using a pickaxe.
========================================
Advanced Knee Replacements
Craft yourself a pair of AKRs!*1
They will absorb ALL your falling damage! The wonders of technology!
Thanks to SpinBuilder for the new texture.
========================================
Weighted Cubes*1
Make yourself a weighted storage cube!
Giving the weighted storage cube a rose (right click it) will turn it into a weighted companion cube!
(Congrats to Atkana and LOgesCompany for figuring this out)
It loves and cares for you so much, every 5 seconds it heals you by half a heart if its in your inventory! (Note: multiple companions have the same effect
)
(Congrats to jaconok for initially discovering it and Entourage for completing his discovery.)
Smelting the cube (how could you D:) will give you a Music Disc!
(Congrats to JammyJames97 for discovering this)
Smelting the disc, will deteriorate the plastic and produce a completely different audio track!
(Congrats to CGuangJun for discovering this)
Getting two Portal discs will grant you a Portal 2 disc! No, really! (Portal + Portal = Portal 2)
========================================
Radios
Make them radios which loop unnecessarily!
This radio can be placed on blocks, glass, etc and they play an audio track, on loop continuously.
Have it at home just to set the ambience, or just plain to annoy the hell out of you.
If set to invincible hitting it with a pickaxe will still break it. Right clicking it with a pickaxe will switch it on or off.
(Note: The audio may glitch/stutter occasionally, I have tried my best to fix it. [Thats what you get for playing a burnt disc])
========================================
Material Emancipation Grid
Create the MEG. This grid has several methods, only erase portals as you walk through it, or erase portals AND incinerate everything that touches it! (except you, your gun, and itself)
(How do I change it the mode? Read the FAQ [Yes its mentioned there])
The ultimate creeper shield!
P.S: You destroy the block its on or let water flow through it to remove it.
========================================
High Energy Pellet
Create the High Energy Pellet launcher and catcher!
Launcher
Catcher
When the launcher is powered it will release a high energy pellet which kills (or knocks back, depending on mode) on impact. Bounces off blocks too
When it bounces too many times, travels too far or too long it becomes unstable and spontaneously combusts.
If caught in the catcher the catcher will start generating redstone power, yes, its that simple! You can release the captured HEP by right clicking the catcher with a pickaxe.
No, the catcher will not time out after a while.
========================================
Electronic Intelligence Indicator
Make a sign that intelligently tells you Yes, or No, the Electronic Intelligence Indicator(I couldn't find the official name)! Needs to be redstone powered.
Warning: Will not increase your intelligence if ingested.
========================================
Sentry Turrets*1
Holy crap, Sentry Turrets!
These turrets will just shoot at anything alive, even you! (configurable)
At a rate of 20 bullets a second, these turrets will take down anything in its sights.
Though very unstable and may fall over when pushed, these turrets are able to scan a 90 degree radius for targets.
And plus, they TALK!
(Making them not shoot certain stuff is possible by changing the turretMode in properties)
[Model made in Techne by ZeuX]
If these turrets are smelted, all their circuits and stuff get messed up to form Defective Turrets.
These turrets are unable to shoot due to the lack of bullets, but they make up for it with their hilarious dialouge!
========================================
Aerial Faith Plates
These plates have the power of a thousand pounds to launch anything into the air at any four directions.
Can be placed on walls facing up and down, and can be considered a "quick" mode of transport!
Remember to wear your Advanced Knee Replacements when falling, though!
Its power can be configured by right clicking it with Pickaxes or Shovels (horizontal and vertical height respectively)
Can be configured to be activated with redstone input only.
========================================
Checkpoint Blocks
These blocks are crafted with a bit of mixed up stuff to form a checkpoint blocks. They use the transparency of glass to "steal" the texture of the block below them, so they blend right in!
Walk on them to set a new checkpoint.
It comes with two modes, a temporary checkpoint, and a permanent spawn point replacer.
Mainly made for use of maps. Can erase portals if you die and respawn on them.
They can now also power redstone the same way as pressure pads! (Only player activated)
Toggle their status with a pickaxe, you'll be informed that you have.

Please leave a donation if you love to support this mod!
Donations are not exactly a "payment" for the creation and support of this mod, but it is a nice incentive and keeps me going to support you guys and to update the mod.
DownloadFor some reason many people ask where the download link is.. Its right here!
Reminder: You are not allowed to mirror the mod.
V1.1.0v1
--- Download (Primary)
Sorry guys: I'm disabling the Mirror download for a while since you guys suspended my dropbox with your traffic :/
Others:
Did you read this post from top to bottom?
- Yes? Good for you!
- No? Are you here to post about something wrong? Yes? Well screw you read it again.
Portal Gun v1 for V1.1.0
ATTN:
I am aware of the bugs the mod has, I'm already working on it and its in private testing. The people testing it are happy with it due to it being much more stable, as well as the new features I've added to the mod. However, SMP support will be dropped, until further notice. Also: I no longer monitor this topic, so the best way to contact me are via PMs. However, do not expect a reply for every PM sent.
UPDATE:
Here's an awesome vid by Direwolf20, showing just a lil' bit of what's new.
A little short I made:
======================================
>>> Portal is now SMP! Many thanks to all who contributed and tested! Thanks to krnlyng for helping with the bukkit port! Get more bukkit mods here!
>>> You now need ModLoaderMp for the client even if you have no plans to play on SMP!
>>> I've plans for this mod soon, which includes a recode of most of the items in the mod, but before that I have another hurdle in life that I need to get pass first. Hope you guys be patient till then.
Meanwhile, another mod I've been working on:
============================
Update???
How updating works (as always):
Notch updates minecraft --> Risugami updates ModLoader --> Flan updates ModLoaderMp --> MCP team updates MCP --> I can update.
At the moment we're all waiting for v2.
============================
Important:
- Something has come up of which I'll only be available again in December.
- I am also working on another mod and thus work on this mod has been reduced.
===============================
Known issues in 1.1.0
- Disconnecting from server with random packets (111, 108, etc).
This needs to be looked into and i need to know which packets are disconnecting you. Pls post errors on this.
- Packet 230 errors, make sure you have MLMP on both the client AND the server.
- MEG might not erase portals.
- Portals may disappear as you walk into them.
===============================
- If you crash due to "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: BaseModMp" You need to install ModLoaderMp! hopefully they'll see it now >.>
- If you crash when placing a block such as the HEP, Grid or EEI, redownload and reinstall modloader!
- No mods folder? Make one! (in .minecraft, and nowhere else.)
- Do NOT use jzip for unzipping.
- Portals pre-1.7,3v5 might not work and may cause crashes!
- If you CANNOT CRAFT anything/don't have achievements, you installed it incorrectly.

Demo:
===============================
Uses Risugami's Modloader and Audiomod(optional) and Flan's ModLoaderMp Client for the client.
Vanilla servers require Flan's ModLoaderMp while Bukkit servers require krnlyng's ModLoaderMp!
Also uses ShockAhPI, though Optional.
Uses blockIDs 204 - 212, itemIDs 13201-13209 by default. Can be changed in properties.
The Server's basic properties are saved in the world folder.
Server's have a new command which lets you change these properties while in the server.
/pg <property> <new value>
Eg: /pg turretMode 3
Thanks to Valve for the original game concept and sounds.
Now with achievements!
Image is outdated though.The "Uncooperative Coop" achievement is tribute to all the testers, especially to my private testing team, which have been there with me since I rounded us up back in 1.5_01. Cheers to you fellows!
- Congrats to MrUhNonUhMuhs for first discovering the "Let My Eggs Go!" achievement.
Complete PortalCraft by Leggos_My_Eggos to get it!
- Congrats to ail_t for first discovering and posting about the "Redemption" and "Serenade" achievements.
Get an Oracle Turret to randomly appear when you are placing a turret to get Redemption!
Get 4 of them to face the same direction and they start singing!
- You get the "Transmission Received" achievement by fizzling a radio!
(To get the MEG achievements you need it set to Mode 2)
========================================
Now for the good stuff:
Default Portal Gun
Apparently mixing redstone with lapis lazuli produces an interesting substance.
Harvested properly, this substance has the ability to create a pair of portals on most areas in the minecraft world!
You press the G key to "flick the switch" on the gun and use the portal of the other colour.
You press the R key to reboot the gun, wiping out the current portals.
========================================
Single Coloured Portal Guns
Slightly offsetting the ratio of lapis lazuli/redstone will still form a Mysterious substance, but of a different property.
Used in the recipe to make a Portal Gun, these guns only fire a single colour.
If 2 different coloured portal guns are found in your inventory, they will automatically merge (can be disabled) into a fully functional dual portal gun. They can also be crafted together.
========================================
Co-op Guns
Introducing the well known Portal Guns held by Cooperative partners Atlas and P-body!
They can be made by adding a dash of dye to the default portal gun.
Atlas' Gun.
P-Body's Gun.
========================================
Wait what's this? A BACON GUN!?
Attaching a raw piece of pork to the top claw of the Portal Gun will build a unique chain with the wielder of the Gun.
This special chain links the wielder to a completely new set of portals!
Each player (in SMP) would be able to use the same gun to generate seperate types of portals!
These portals would last even after the player leaves the server.
Colour of portals is configurable in the properties file.
========================================
Portal Gun Pedestals
These pedestals automatically fire portals if you place a portal gun on them. You right click them with any type of portal gun and they will accept them.
These need to be powered by redstone and will give you a portal gun if you walk into them.
========================================
Portal Spawners
These blocks will spawn portals on them, if powered by redstone. Their Portals last even after the redstone power supplied is cut! (configurable)
The colour portal that spawns is toggled using a pickaxe.
========================================
Advanced Knee Replacements
Craft yourself a pair of AKRs!*1
They will absorb ALL your falling damage! The wonders of technology!
Thanks to SpinBuilder for the new texture.
========================================
Weighted Cubes*1
Make yourself a weighted storage cube!
Giving the weighted storage cube a rose (right click it) will turn it into a weighted companion cube!
(Congrats to Atkana and LOgesCompany for figuring this out)
It loves and cares for you so much, every 5 seconds it heals you by half a heart if its in your inventory! (Note: multiple companions have the same effect
)(Congrats to jaconok for initially discovering it and Entourage for completing his discovery.)
Smelting the cube (how could you D:) will give you a Music Disc!
(Congrats to JammyJames97 for discovering this)
Smelting the disc, will deteriorate the plastic and produce a completely different audio track!
(Congrats to CGuangJun for discovering this)

Trivia:
Spoiler
- When I start this mod (and modding and java in general) I spent two hours wondering why the orange portal gun looked like the blue one to find out that it was a typo in defining the texture.
- When I was still coding the mod the blue gun would shoot Jack-O-Lanterns and the orange gun would shoot flaming tnt.
- The Default Portal Gun texture has been changed at least 4 times.
