Local Addons (10)

This update includes a new local addons system. Local addons allow us to implement small, toggleable adjustments to various aspects of the game, without directly editing the engine's code. If you have made an addon in the past or are interested in producing local addons for P2:CE, see here for submission guidelines / info: https://github.com/StrataSource/p2ce-addons
A list of local addons which have already been added can be found below:

• Added "Portal 1 Portal Gun" local addon.
  • This replaces the portal gun's viewmodel, particles and SFX with Portal 1's, and changes the particles and sfx for portals. (Special thanks to Electrodynamite12 for providing updated particles!)

• Added "Personality Sphere Visual Updates" local addon.
  • This provides general improvements for personality spheres and related models.

• Added "Old Schrödinger Cubes" local addon.
  • This replaces the Schrödinger cube model with a version from earlier in development.

• Added "Refractive Fizzlers" local addon.
  • This adds a refractive visual effect to all fizzler types.

• Added "Unused Turret VO" local addon.
  • This reimplements any unused Turret voicelines found within Portal 2's files, and adds script logic to restore lines designed to play if Turrets become blocked by a Hard Light Bridge.

• Added "Updated Media" local addon.
  • Provides a method of toggling the changes made to menu backgrounds, loading screens and the post-credits cutscene.

• Added "Player Blood" local addon.
  • This re-enables player blood, as seen in Portal 1.

• Added "Adhesion/Reflection Gel Assets" local addon.
  • This implements Adhesion/Reflection gel-related assets. (Special thanks to lenship2 for creating this local addon!)

• Added "Dynamic Light Bridge Lights" local addon.
  • This makes Hard Light Bridges cast light on the surroundings, as seen in our "Clustered Graphics Showcase".. Warning, can be very expensive on lower-end hardware!
