I originally planned
WorkshopStopper9000to simply fix the workshop downloading issue, but I hope to add a bit more features and fixes so now it has becomeP2SourceModPlusPlus. Hopefully I can implement some good features that will be used by the community until the fated day Portal 2: Community Edition is released. Basically this is gonna be a temporarily solution for mod makers.
- Stopped workshop maps from being downloaded by the game because the workshop folder isn't on path for Source Mods. Because of this it tries to get ALL of them at once, which caused the game to be unstable and on occasion crash.
- (NOT IMPLEMENTED) Fix human NPC movement so they don't jitter when they move.
- (NOT IMPLEMENTED) Option to turn on or off Puzzlemaker functionality. Most mods don't use the puzzlemaker, but it still loads in. The plugin will try to disable as much of it as possible so console is not filled with any puzzlemaker related errors or messages or any other additional bloat.
- (NOT IMPLEMENTED) Custom Discord RPC for Portal 2 Source Mods.
- (NOT IMPLEMENTED) Additional achievement support and features. Like custom achievements that span multiple maps that have more parts than Door Prize and Smash TV.
Download the latest addons.zip under the Releases tab on GitHub and extract its folder into the base directory of your Source Mod. Portal 2 should automatically start the plugin up with the game and thus stop the game from downloading workshop maps. You should be able to see a message in the developer console from the plugin if it loaded. That's it. This took about 20 minutes to make, so please create an Issue post on the plugin's repository if there are any issues. I'll get to it within the next 20 years.
As of writing, 11/10/2024, the plugin is only compatible with Windows. The signature scanner it uses still needs to be compatible with Linux, plus overall, the way the P2:MM plugin is structured (this plugin is built off of some of P2:MM plugin code as a base), it's impossible to compile for Linux anyway. Literally 1984, I know, but I don't have enough time or experience to figure it out by myself. Linux users should still be able to get away with using Proton or similar to be able to use the plugin's Windows .dll. Hopefully, one day, this can be fixed...
Please credit either Orsell/OrsellGaming, Nanoman2525, and NULLderef, or the Portal 2: Multiplayer Mod Team if you use this plugin or its code in any way with your Source Mod.
You must also include this repository and P2:MM's license file with the plugin.
Both licenses will be included with the addon.zip file you download to get the plugin.
