LPHUB Rules

To compete on the leaderboard, you must adhere to the following rules. Failure to do so may result in warnings or bans depending on severity.

Game

  • All runs must be performed on the latest release of Portal 2. Game files must not be modified in any way (things such as binary and/or .dll files).
  • Launch options/commands that alter game behavior (e.g., -tickrate) are prohibited.
  • The use of scripts, cheats, plugins, third-party software, or anything that changes the game's behavior is strictly forbidden.
  • The only allowed plugin is SourceAutoRecord, and if used, it must be the latest version.

Texture Modifications

  • You may modify texture files as long as it doesn't give you any advantage. Both .vtf and .vmt files associated with these textures can be modified.
  • Models cannot be modified as they alter game behaviour.

Runs

Demos

  • Proof of your run must be recorded using demos. To start recording, type record <demoname> when entering the map, or use the SAR plugin with the command sar_record_at 0.
  • A valid demo begins when the player can move and ends when the player touches the end flags.
  • For cooperative runs, both players must submit their demos.
  • For technical reasons, there is a 250 MB limit for demo files. If you have a demo file bigger than 250 MB that you need to submit, please contact an admin in the Discord server.

Console Commands & Cheats

  • The use of cheats, including specific console commands, is prohibited. Even if a command is not cheat-protected, it may still invalidate your run. For a full list of banned commands, refer to rules.portal2.sr/#command-list.
  • Additionally, commands that affect game behavior (e.g., net_* commands) are not allowed.

Banned Exploits

  • The following exploits are banned: freezing the game window, pause abuse, packet loss manipulation, intentional internet disconnection, and any glitches requiring setup before the run (e.g., moving portals or EHM).
  • If you're unsure whether an exploit is allowed, ask in the Discord server.

Important Note

  • The moderation team has the authority to remove any record they believe to be illegitimate, and/or issue a warning/ban to any player they believe to have broken the rules.
  • Use common sense.
