The devs were on the right track with the "open" command, but they tried to append steam commands using --args. While this works if opening steam itself, steam has to be closed before it can be opened. Using --args with the steam protocol just doesn't work at all. Passing arguments to hl2_osx works, but with all of the safety nets needed, it is unnecessarily complicated. And when I add that app as a steam shortcut, I can't get it to work for some reason O_oIf you want to run Portal Prelude while steam is open through the terminal, here is the command: Code:open steam://run/400//-steam+-game+portalprelude When appending steam commands like this, sub in + where you would have a space, and follow the commands with a double slash. You can also create a Portal desktop shortcut through steam, and edit the shell script so that you have an app that launches Portal Prelude. The shell script should look like this: Code:#!/bin/bash open steam://run/400//-steam+-game+portalprelude I find it easier to just place the Portal Prelude folder in the portal folder rather than sourcemods, removing the need to create an alias, and then just creating a Portal Prelude app and adding it as a non-steam shortcut.So, for an easy install of Portal Prelude, here are my steps.1) Download the zip file and extract its contents2) Place the "portal prelude" folder in your "#USER#/Library/Application Support/Steam/SteamApps/#STEAMUSERNAME#/portal" folder, and rename it to "portalprelude"3) Create a desktop shortcut of Portal through steam4) Right-click on the shortcut and click on "Show Package Contents"5) Navigate through "Contents/MacOS/", and open run.sh6) Replace its contents with the following: Code:#!/bin/bash open steam://run/400//-steam+-game+portalprelude 7) Rename the shortcut to "Portal Prelude", and add it as a non-steam shortcut.For those wondering why this isn't common knowledge, it seems a steam dev added this on a whim: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/s … ?t=1269214I'll post a premade app later on, once I've figured out how to get the Portal Prelude icon on it -_- Thu, 02 Feb 2012 11:00:02 +0100 http://www.portalprelude.com/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=6715#p6715 6715@http://www.portalprelude.com/forum Topic: Chapter 8 crash.

Message: Too hard. The fun of portal isn't in the technical skill it takes to execute random jumps. I was looking forward to this mod, but I have no desire bore myself to death by repeating the same jump 100 times until I get it *just right*.

Message: Thanks to Portal Prelude, I found out that with the right attitude, humor, and ideas (also great music!), you can make a memorable mod like Portal Prelude. So I got the Source SDK and Base 2006 and Base 2007. Then, in Source SDK, I switched to 2007 engine version and hit "Create a Mod". I then chose HL2 Single-Player and followed the steps. It then unpacked everything, and immediately changed the mod place to 2009 (So that Hammer would work properly). When I opened up the Portal map I made while editing my mod, it came up with white textures and the portal gun changed to a picture with a guy smiling and thumbs-upping with "Obsolete" under it. I tried to replace the textures and portal gun, but they were missing! Can anyone help me?
