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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 commandsar_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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
