Portal 2 Speedrun Mod (p2sm)


Overview

P2sm.png

Portal 2 Speedrun Mod (p2sm) started as a mod developed for Portal 2 Full Game runners, with the goal of eliminating cutscenes and downtime that bog down a typical run of Portal 2. Since it's initial v1.0 release in January of 2020, the mod has further developed into being a creative outlet for Portal 2 runners to theorize (and for Krzyhau to implement) different gamemodes that differ wildly from the original game.

Mod Installation

NOTE: Installation issues are normally caused by installing in the incorrect directory.

  • The sourcemods folder might not exist if you have never downloaded a mod for a source game. If this is the case, simply create an empty folder named sourcemods in your default steamapps folder
  • The mod must be installed in the directory of your default steam installation (Your C drive unless you changed this during the Steam installation process). Even if Portal 2 is installed on a separate drive.

Instructions

  1. Have a legal copy of Portal 2 installed on Steam.
  2. Download the newest release from Official github.io Page or from the GitHub Releases page.
  3. Unzip the Portal 2 Speedrun Mod folder into the sourcemods directory (default location Steam/steamapps/sourcemods/).
  4. Restart Steam entirely.
  5. Check your Steam library for a new game called "Portal 2 Speedrun Mod"

Troubleshooting

Error: Couldn't get sound buffer status - Solution. Fresh install of sound drivers with device manager on Windows.

Error: Unable to load manifest file - Solution. Edit the gameinfo.txt file in the Speedrun Mod folder from "|gameinfo_path|../../common/Portal 2/portal2" to the full path to portal2.
