Half-Life 2 and Portal Research

[legofan623]

Oh yeah sorry it came on Saturday and been busy doing stuff to it (rooting and whatnot). I'll see if I'll be able to do anything with half life 2 today.

There's a "bind "`" "toggleconsole"" in config.cfg...? Interesting...

Success!

You need to setup your config somewhere along the lines of this:

bind "A_BUTTON" "sv_cheats 1"
bind "Y_BUTTON" "noclip"

Right now I'm trying to load a custom map by pointing "chapter1.cfg" to load a custom map file, but when i try to launch chapter 1 the background just goes to a static blurry picture like you see as the game loads...

I guess it needs some kind of verification that the bsp is actually the correct one for chapter 1 because if i type in "credits" or "d1_canals_01" the same thing happens.

that's pretty cool.
I wonder if there is still a way to get a working console.

 

[legofan623]

The only way I can realistically see the console happening is porting files over from the Linux version.

Um hey I hate to be "that guy" but can u put it in noob terms please? Sorry.

 

[nex86]

for what?
You need to be rooted in order to edit the config.cfg file in \data\data\com.nvidia.valvesoftware.halflife2\files\hl2\cfg

 

[mudflap2.0]

im rooted, andi don't know a hay of what your saying accept that it has to do with imput and controls for noclip or something, wtf is console?, you want to port a whole Linux pc 64 bit file to android 32 bit?

 

[nex86]

the console is the ingame command terminal of the game where you enter cheats and stuff, it is missing or somehow disabled in the Android version.
And you can not port over the entire game when you don't have the source code.
He probably meant to port over the script which is responsible for the console.

Portal was such a short game, I beat it in an hour and a half.. Now I'm hoping this research goes somewhere so I can do more with the game.

they better port Portal 2 over soon.
Or Bioshock, but no, only iOS gets it -_-

 

[BerryAl]

yeah it would be brilliant to play Bioshock on the Shield. But it does seem really exciting that it might be a possibility to mod half life 2 and portal on android...

 

[Mexican Pygmy]

Has anyone else tried to use the "impulse 101" command to give all of the hl2 weapons in portal? I tried to use it once and it just made portal crash.

bind "A_BUTTON" "sv_cheats 1"
bind "Y_BUTTON" "noclip"

Below the button bindings, there are default values so I just set sv_cheats enabled by default by adding

sv_cheats "1"

in its alphabetical position and I bound noclip to Y_BUTTON just like you did.

EDIT: NVM. That didn't work. :/ I guess it needs to be bound to a button.

EDIT2: If it matters, upgrade_potatogun doesn't work. :/

If I recall correctly the potato gun was only available in Portal 2

I noticed that the list I was looking at was for Portal 2. I bound my Y key to spawn a headcrab to ramp up the difficulty if I ever got bored (I'm using Portal BTW). I'm looking into trying to enable the bonus maps menu.

 

[legofan623]

You may want to see if the bonus maps are you even there, and if not you might try putting them in.

It looks like they are in the smaller of the two obb files. And if you haven't found already, you can bind commands to the DPAD buttons with the keycodes "UP", "DOWN", "LEFT", and "RIGHT".
