Dice, can we please get templates in Portal's Custom tab?

Agreed.

I cannot believe they didn’t give us game mode templates for us to build on.

Forcing people to use godot and literally build an experience from the ground up (including even the scoreboard) is mind boggling.

They should have done this:

1. given us verified servers with the ability to adjust basic settings.
2. given us custom game mode templates that we could adjust more comprehensive settings and add code to - like 2042!
3. given us godot for people to create more advanced experiences.

What they’ve done is completely alienated a large portion of people that would have jumped straight into portal in a heart beat.

I made so many coded servers in 2042. I spent 99% of my time in portal - and spent 3+ years making servers that were always full.

I was so hyped about portal coming back.

Then I was disappointed to find that they pretty much made it impossible to get involved.

Literally half or more settings are missing even from the basic server settings. We can even change the damage values of each weapon type like we could with 2042. I just don’t understand that thinking behind it all.

I could get some help with godot from the Portal discord guys but I have no experience with godot. And I certainly don’t have the time to get to grips with it.

Coding is fine. I know how to use the rules editor. But forcing people to use godot is senseless.
