RE: Portal: Prelude
Alright was finally able to play it, gotten to level 17 (bit of help from a walkthrough needed not much {stuff like level 9 i had my portal positions wrong}) and can't find the exit :P

I've got the power orb into the doodah oojamaflip for it all sentries taken out afaik and just a bit stumped :P


Figured out 17, 18 OMG what an easy piece of piss just walk right to the end button and zap a portal near the lift, don't even need to bother about the cube :P

Stumped on 19, can't get anywhere, just smack into walls  :(

Uh? Normally you should just wait for the blue portal to open, then you can get out and do what you have to do (seriously, you'll find out soon enough).

Ahaha, no wonder you're stumped on 19, the fact that you passed 18 without checking what's actually in the room will make you get stuck in 19 whatsoever.

To give you a hint: you'll have to be reunited with an old friend to get through 19, otherwise no cake for you. And when you're actually in 19: the room hasn't been started up, in fact, you'll have to do it manually. There's a way to get back to 18, go check out the stairs. ;)

If you still don't get it... YouTube is a great source. :)

Right click Portal in Steam -> Properties -> Set launch options -> -novid -> OK
YouTube closed-captions ripper (also allows you to download videos!)

And ofcourse if you have not Steam, just add in -novid into the shortcut :p

    *  -autoconfig - Restores video and performance settings to default for the current hardware detected. Ignores settings inside any .cfg files until this parameter is removed.
    * -dev - Enables developer mode. Also disables the automatic loading of menu background maps and stops the quit dialog from appearing on exit.
    * -condebug - Logs all console output into the console.log text file.
    * -console - Starts the game with the developer console enabled.
    * -toconsole - Starts the engine directly in the console, unless a map is specified with +map.
    * -dxlevel <level> - Forces a specific DirectX version when launching the engine. This is useful if your graphics card is DirectX 9 capable, but a lot faster using only DirectX 8 (e.g. NVidia GeForce FX 5200). Multiply the desired DirectX version to use with ten. E.g. for DirectX 8.0 you would use -dxlevel 80.
    * -32bit - Forces the engine to start in 32-bit mode. Only useful on 64-bit Operating Systems.
    * -fullscreen - Forces the engine to start in fullscreen mode.
    * -window or -sw - Forces the engine to start in windowed mode.
    * -w <width> - Forces the engine to start with resolution set to <width>.
    * -h <height> - Forces the engine to start with resolution set to <height>.
    * -refresh <rate> - Force a specific refresh rate.
    * -heapsize <kilobytes> - Specifies the heapsize (in kilobyte) the game will use.
    * -nocrashdialog - Suppresses some 'memory could not be read' unhandled errors.
    * -novid - When loading a game with this parameter, the intro Valve video will not play.
    * -noborder - When used with the game set to windowed mode, will make the game fullscreen, making Alt+Tab faster.

Lopardo,

I tried your shortcut workaround, got Prelude to load, but it won't let me start a new game.  Any ideas what I did wrong?  BTW, what do the -steam -game switches do?  Thanx, Beestingz
