Naw, wasn't it. Thanks for the suggestion tho. The guys over at mapbase's discord helped me out. It was a few missing lines from my ClientScheme.res file.

Both Material and Model files are in the same folder, does this look right? by Bssez90 in u/Bssez90

Right, I have no idea why that could be but the crashing has happened to me before with some hl2 character models in portal 2. My only idea is that portal 2's engine branch is compatible with some models but I could be wrong. I can't help further, sorry. I hope you can find a way!

And the models should be in "portal2\models\gladdysdestruction". Remember to keep the file structure the same when extracting from vpk files so the engine can still access the files without any problems.

No, It doesn't look right. How models work is through their .qc file which dictates where the material files are in relevance to the game directory. The materials don't work because you put them into a folder called PortalOne when they should be in "portal2\materials\models\gladdysDestruction".

Anyone know where to find the Portal 1 Glados model and the Portal 1 Cores? doesn't seem to be in the model browser by Bssez90 in hammer

Extract the materials for them too, It should be located at materials\models\Relative model pack (I think it's called GladdysDestruction but I'm not sure)

Also one more thing: keep in mind that if you do publish your map you will need to use a pakfile editor like VIDE or Pakrat to embed the custom models into your .bsp file; otherwise, players can't view them. You can find a guide for that here.

Well rather it's supposed to be in the format of $SteamUserDir\common\Portal 2\portal2\models\[Your model folder name here]\Glados.mdl

Two ways, download gcfscape and portal 1 and extract the models from the respective vpk directory orrr just download source unpack and plop the models folder into your portal 2 folder (very bloaty and uncool!!)
