How to reskin a portal gun? (Dead thread go away)

[swifswaf]

I've seen people on videos who have different looking portal guns. They're blue or red, not white. I tried to reskin it but I can't find my "portal" folder in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\darkcloud0299. I have The Orange Box, and I already beat portal. Where is the folder?

They updated the game to steampipe, so you can't reskin the files changed places.

[swifswaf]

Yes you can. I've tried reskinning and it worked once, but I tried another skin and that didn't work, so I put back the old reskinned files and the portal gun skin won't show up anymore

[Nokonoko]

Actually, I figured it out. you put the skinfiles into X:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\Portal\portal\custom\ (if it's not there, make it)

[swifswaf]

I put the portal gun skin files into the new folder I created C:\Program Files\Steam\Steamapps\common\Portal\portal\custom
And It's still not working

make sure you don't have a 64bit machine. If you do, it has to be in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\portal\portal\custom\. also make sure if the folders are "materials" and "models" and the like, then create a folder in "Custom" named "portal" and put them in there.

Please help. I did your steps, but they still don't work. What am I doin wrong? I am putting them into C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\portal\portal\custom\, but they still don't work.

Try Steam\steamapps\common\portal\portal\custom\portal

inside the custom folder there need to be these folders...
portal/material/model/weapons/v_models/v_portalgun
Then in the v_portalgun you will place the .vmt and .vtf files (The textures)

Where do you get the portal gun textures from? the .vmt and .vtf files?

portal.gamebanana.com is an excellent resource.

Are those folders inside each other? Because I put them separately and it didn't work.

Is there a way to do this on a Mac? Usually, I can figure out the PC instructions to fit my Mac, but I can't find the right files. Is it even POSSIBLE to do it on a Mac?

It is possible! The steamapps folder should (might) be in ~/Library/Application Support/Steam
You can use the "Go" menu from Finder to get there.
