== (Recent) Changes to the wiki ==<br />
<br />
Hey Tark. As a starter, a belated congratulations on your adminship of the wiki! It seems that you're pretty much the only active staff member now.<br />
<br />
Anyways, I have a question. I've seen the RC is notifying me of a lot of edits made to the help and project pages. Are there some changes regarding the wiki that I am not aware of? In fact, a more appropriate question is, what have I missed?<br />
<br />
Regards ~ <span style="text-shadow: 0 0 .075em currentColor; font-weight: 900; font-family: 'Open Sans', 'Noto Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 110%">[[User:Headquarter8302|<span style="color: blue">Headquarter</span>]][[User talk:Headquarter8302|<span style="color: orange;">8302</span>]]</span> 06:57, 25 June 2024 (UTC)<br />
<br />
: Hellos! As for the recent changes, I'm just trying to tidy up the help pages a little and update some of the wording to match the TF2 wiki version.<br />
: For now, I'm just trying to figure out how to untangle everything. Content-wise, there's a lot to do still, especially reviewing some questionable edits that have been around for a few years:<br />
:: [[Portal Test Chamber 00]] - page title was changed from "Chapter 1 - Part 1: Test Chamber 00" to "Portal Test Chamber 00", includes a section named "Gallery example" which is empty, and a "Script" section, which is very badly formatted and probably not really relevant.<br />
:: [[Portal]] has been moved and is now a disambiguation page. <br />
:: [teu many other examples...]<br />
: I've been on and off for the last few years, which has led to a noticeable drop in article quality. It's going to take a while, but I'm getting there~ β [[User:Tark|<span style="font-weight:bold;color: #5BC236">Tark</span>]] 14:26, 25 June 2024 (UTC)<br />

::Huge props to you. The last time I did any meaningful contribution to the wiki was at the last vandal attack, it's wonderful to see someone who still has the time to manage this place. ~ <span style="text-shadow: 0 0 .075em currentColor; font-weight: 900; font-family: 'Open Sans', 'Noto Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 110%">[[User:Headquarter8302|<span style="color: blue">Headquarter</span>]][[User talk:Headquarter8302|<span style="color: orange;">8302</span>]]</span> 00:57, 27 June 2024 (UTC)<br />

Hey Tarko,<br />

== Fact suggestions ==<br />
<br />
Hello, I have a question. If you know when featured facts will be updated, when it will be? Do you know at least the approximate date? [[User:MrWheatleyCore|MrWheatleyCore]] ([[User talk:MrWheatleyCore|talk]]) 19:11, 1 April 2026 (UTC)<br />
<br />
: Hallo. We don't really have a set timing (mostly because we don't have that many facts to feature), but I can look into setting up a proper rotation and updating the current ones. β [[User:Tark|<span style="font-weight:bold;color: #5BC236">Tark</span>]] 20:07, 1 April 2026 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:: Ok - [[User:MrWheatleyCore|MrWheatleyCore]] ([[User talk:MrWheatleyCore|talk]]) 05:35, 2 April 2026 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Note ==<br />
<br />
I recently changed the Coop Course 1 Chamber 4 page. Is it okay to add a YouTube link as a placeholder? - [[User:MrWheatleyCore|MrWheatleyCore]] ([[User talk:MrWheatleyCore|talk]]) 06:52, 2 April 2026 (UTC)<br />

This is the fifth level in Co-op mode of Portal 2 and the fourth chamber in the course. There are no obvious dangers in this chamber, but the player in charge of the buttons can accidentally crush the player in the maze with the blocks.<br />
<br />
{{Spoiler|block=on|The goal in this chamber is to get the [[Discouragement Redirection Cube]] from behind the glass and use it to reflect the beam to the receptacle.}}<br />

<br />
The [[Ping Tool]] (Edit Keys dialog, it's called the '''Communications Menu''') is a communications mechanism introduced in [[Portal 2]]. The Ping Tool is only available in [[Cooperative Testing Initiative]], and is used by players in order to identify specific locations within Test Chambers, as well as synchronize activities through the use of an on-screen timer.<br />

=== Timer Ping ===<br />
[[File:Timer Ping.png|right|225px|thumb|The "Timer" Ping icon in ''Portal 2''.]]<br />
When invoked, the '''Timer Ping''' (default key "F") displays an icon that appears on the screen of both the initiator and their Co-op partner, for the purpose of synchronizing a specific action. The Timer can be used for a variety of purposes, the most common of which is allowing Co-op partners to synchronize the creation of [[Portals]], the activation of a switch or button, or most commonly the activation of [[Circuit Breaker]]s. Because some game mechanics require a high degree of synchronisation in order to function, the Timer can be essential to successfully completing a Test Chamber.<br />

Hey Tark. As a starter, a belated congratulations on your adminship of the wiki! It seems that you're pretty much the only active staff member now.<br />
<br />
Anyways, I have a question. I've seen the RC is notifying me of a lot of edits made to the help and project pages. Are there some changes regarding the wiki that I am not aware of? In fact, a more appropriate question is, what have I missed?<br />

<br />
{{Spoiler|block=on|The goal in this chamber is to get the [[Discouragement Redirection Cube]] from behind the glass and use it to reflect the beam to the receptacle.}}<br />

Hey Tark. As a starter, a belated congratulations on your adminship of the wiki! It seems that you're pretty much the only active staff member now.<br />

<div>== Cut content ==<br />
<br />
Hai MrWheatleyCore, thank you for your recent edits!<br />
<br />
Just one thing to note: we usually cover cut content on this [[Unused content|general page]] instead of making individual pages for each. The reason is that there's very little to write about them (so the articles end up quite short) and it's easier for users to find everything in one place/table. Would you mind moving your recent pages to this general page and turning the old ones into redirects? β [[User:Tark|<span style="font-weight:bold;color: #5BC236">Tark</span>]] 18:18, 1 April 2026 (UTC)<br />

: Hellos! As for the recent changes, I'm just trying to tidy up the help pages a little and update some of the wording to match the TF2 wiki version.<br />
: For now, I'm just trying to figure out how to untangle everything. Content-wise, there's a lot to do still, especially reviewing some questionable edits that have been around for a few years:<br />
:: [[Portal Test Chamber 00]] - page title was changed from "Chapter 1 - Part 1: Test Chamber 00" to "Portal Test Chamber 00", includes a section named "Gallery example" which is empty, and a "Script" section, which is very badly formatted and probably not really relevant.<br />
:: [[Portal]] has been moved and is now a disambiguation page. <br />
:: [teu many other examples...]<br />
: I've been on and off for the last few years, which has led to a noticeable drop in article quality. It's going to take a while, but I'm getting there~ β [[User:Tark|<span style="font-weight:bold;color: #5BC236">Tark</span>]] 14:26, 25 June 2024 (UTC)<br />

Hello, I have a question. If you know when featured facts will be updated, when it will be? Do you know at least the approximate date?</div>MrWheatleyCorehttps://theportalwiki.com/w/index.php?title=User_talk:MrWheatleyCore&diff=191494User talk:MrWheatleyCore2026-04-01T19:05:02Z<p>MrWheatleyCore: /* Cut content */</p>

<div>== Cut content ==<br />
<br />
Hai MrWheatleyCore, thank you for your recent edits!<br />
<br />
Just one thing to note: we usually cover cut content on this [[Unused content|general page]] instead of making individual pages for each. The reason is that there's very little to write about them (so the articles end up quite short) and it's easier for users to find everything in one place/table. Would you mind moving your recent pages to this general page and turning the old ones into redirects? β [[User:Tark|<span style="font-weight:bold;color: #5BC236">Tark</span>]] 18:18, 1 April 2026 (UTC)<br />

{{Quotation|'''GLaDOS''' on unused content.|Think about it: If that thing is important, why don't I know about it?|sound=GLaDOS_escape_02_spherenag1-14.wav}}<br />
Much like any video game, the ''Portal'' series contains a large amount of '''unused content''' that was cut from development due to a series of reasons either given or disclosed. Below is a list of characters and other unique mechanics that were unfortunate enough to be put on the chopping block.<br />

| style="text-align: center;" | '''[[Crusher|Crushers]]'''<br />
| The Crusher was featured in the [[Portal Teaser Trailer (video)|Portal teaser trailer]], but not included in the final game. It is a slow moving [[panel]] with spikes that descend from the ceiling when the player is underneath it. The crusher was included in some of the bonus chambers of ''[[Portal: Still Alive]]'', and made an updated appearance in ''[[Portal 2]]''.<br />
|-<br />
| style="text-align: center;" | '''[[Walking Turret]]'''<br />
| The Walking Turret, also known as the Moving or Mobile Turret, is a Sentry Turret variant cut from Portal. The turret had a personality construct design and the ability to roam through portals and shoot in a way identical to the single directional Sentry Turret that it was replaced with.<br />

| Early versions of ''Portal'' had Handheld Portal Devices that looked very different from the retail version. One iteration resembled a pistol, while a later version had a strong resemblance to [[Half-Life 2|''Half-Life 2'']]'s Gravity-Gun.<br />

<br />
== ''Portal: Still Alive'' ==<br />
''Portal: Still Alive'' has the same unused content as the original game, with the exception of Crushers, which appear in the bonus chambers. However, Portal: Still Alive also contains some unused or cut content of its own.<ref>https://youtu.be/ivj-0EJT0wc?t=281 History of Portal: Still Alive</ref><br />
<br />
<!-- Note: The skull cube and chamber 15 icon are both used in the PC port. As this is an unofficial mod, they are still considered unused; do not remove them from the page. --><br />

! class="header" width="15%" | Name<br />
! class="header" | Notes<br />
|-<br />
| style="text-align: center;" | '''15th [[Test Chambers#Challenge modes|Bonus Chamber]]'''<br />
| ''Portal: Still Alive'' contains 14 bonus chambers. However, it appears that a 15th chamber was at one point planned, as an icon for it exists in the files, showing a section of the escape sequence from the original [[Portal: The Flash Version MapPack]]. This is further supported by the entrance sign in chamber 14 showing the "cake" light on; this usually indicates the chamber will end in an escape sequence, but chamber 14 doesn't.<br />
<br />
No playable 15th chamber exists anywhere in the final game, and it is also not present in the leaked map source files, so what the map looked like outside of this one screenshot is unknown.<br />
|-<br />
| style="text-align: center;" | '''Skull [[Cube]]'''<br />
| In ''Portal: Still Alive'', [[Pedestal Button|Pedestal Buttons]] connected to cube droppers are given a different skin, with red lights on the sides and an image of a skull on top. A matching cube skin exists, but goes unused.<br />

=== Characters ===<br />
* [[Betty{{if lang}}|{{Character|Betty}}]] - A small robot who, prior to testing, would absolve Aperture Science of liabilities. <br />
* [[Mel{{if lang}}|{{Character|Mel}}]] - One of two playable human test subjects during development on the co-op campaign.<br />

{| class="wikitable grid" width="100%"<br />
! class="header" width="15%" | Name<br />
! class="header" | Notes<br />
|-<br />
| style="text-align: center;" | '''[[Adhesion Gel]]'''<br />
| This mechanic was mentioned to allow players to stick to wherever the gel was placed. It was cut from the game when play-testers complained of motion sickness.<br />
|-<br />
| style="text-align: center;" | '''Android'''<br />
| In the "scripts" folder of ''Portal 2'', a file called "npc_sounds_android" can be found. The file references sounds that were not shipped with the game, nor does attempting to spawn the npc yield any results. May be a reference to the ''"Android Hell"'' GLaDOS has mentioned.<br />
|-<br />
| style="text-align: center;" | '''Chicken'''<br />
| Not much is revealed of the chicken, but concept arts released revealed that a giant chicken may have been a boss for either the prequel to ''Portal'' or early stages of ''Portal 2''. Minor evidence of the chicken's leftover files are in the "scripts" folder of ''Portal 2''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s directory files.<br />
|-<br />
| style="text-align: center;" | '''[[F-Stop]]'''<br />
| This mechanic was originally intended to be the primary handheld testing element for a prequel to ''Portal''. The developers very much praised the concept but after the prequel itself received negative feedback from playtesters as they were expecting a sequel with the [[Handheld Portal Device|Portal Gun]], the F-Stop project was canceled and it was decided to keep the mechanic disclosed to reserve for another potential game. In 2020, it was revealed to be a camera which could store photographed objects and place them, possibly rescaled.{{Citation needed|date=August 2020|reason=Where was this revealed?}}<br />
|-<br />
| style="text-align: center;" | '''[[Futbol]]'''<br />
| The "futbol" was a gameplay mechanic that explodes on contact and is the original multiplayer gamemode for ''Portal 2''; which was to carry the device around with [[portals]] and to frag other players by dropping these into their presence. The "futbols" also appear to have a dispenser model found in the game's files. The texturing of the "futbols" and its dispensers are similar to the texturing styles of ''Portal'', indicating that this gamemode was cut very early in ''Portal 2''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s development. In the game's release, the "futbol" codes have been reused{{spoiler| to create the [[Bombs]] in the single-player finale}}.<br />
|-<br />
| style="text-align: center;" | '''[[Hover Turret]]'''<br />
| The Hover Turret may have been intended for ''Portal 2'', and its primary attack is a blue laser beam that brings a similar injury effect as the [[Thermal Discouragement Beam]]. No concept arts have been pinpointed to this turret variant, but a screenshot from the ''[[Portal 2 - The Final Hours|The Final Hours of Portal 2]]'' reveals a group of [[Cores#Personality Cores|personality cores]] on a ceiling railing that appear to be "hovering" versions of the [[Turrets#Rocket Turret|Rocket Turret]]. Further tie in to this can be found in unused textures for the [[Pneumatic Diversity Vent]]'s passive monitoring screens, showing a personality core with rockets inside to be dubbed as the Hover Turret. It can be spawned in-game, albeit without a proper model and AI.<br />
<br />
Spawn code: ent_create npc_hover_turret<br />
|-<br />
| style="text-align: center;" | '''Mannequins'''<br />
| The mannequins were used as a testing element for the [[F-Stop]], similar as to how the [[Turrets]] were for the [[Handheld Portal Device|Portal Gun]]. According to the ''[[Portal 2 - The Final Hours|The Final Hours of Portal 2]]'', the mannequins appear to be sentient robots that would later rise against Aperture Science in the prequel to ''Portal''. Along with the prequel and F-Stop mechanic, the dummies were ultimately cut. A deactivated male crash dummy was kept in the release of ''Portal 2'', used as a target for the [[Turrets]]' firing range.<br />
|-<br />
| style="text-align:center;" | '''[[Paint Fizzler]]'''<br />
| Paint Fizzlers are an unused fizzler variant which destroys gel instead of portals. Any gel will splatter on contact with the field, and cubes will be cleaned on contact. It does not affect the player. The particle left in the game (paint_cleanser) appears as a red version of the Portal 1 fizzler field. The entity is used in some maps to prevent players from placing gel on certain surfaces to cheat puzzles. <br />
|-<br />
| style="text-align: center;" | '''[[Pneumatic Diversity Vent]]'''<br />
| This type of mechanic was first introduced in a demo of the same name, displaying its abilities to pull objects at a high force. This mechanic is kept as a traveling system around the tube networks. Valve decided this element was not versatile enough to be included in any maps, but it is still fully functional.<br />
|-<br />
| style="text-align: center;" | '''[[Reflection Gel]]'''<br />
| The Reflection Gel replaced the Adhesion Gel in the Authoring Tools after Portal 2 received the [[Peer Review]] update. It was to act similarly to the [[Discouragement Redirection Cube]], in that it could reflect [[Thermal Discouragement Beam]]s. It remains unused for unknown reasons. <br />
|-<br />
| style="text-align: center;" | '''Self-Esteem Field'''<br />
| Self-Esteem Field was supposed to slow you down. Effect of Self-Esteem Field is pre-set to last 5.5 seconds upon activation; during this period, time for the player is slowed down fivefold by default while the field of view is decreased, a color overlay is displayed, and a set of sound effects is played. <ref>Portal 2 game files, scripts\vscripts\portal_slowfield\slowfield.nut</ref><br />
|-<br />
| style="text-align: center;" | '''[[Rocket Turret]]'''<br />
| An enemy featured in ''Portal,'' the Rocket Turret was apparently to make a reappearance in ''Portal 2,'' as evidenced by files found the "scripts" folder of ''Portal 2''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s directory files. It can be spawned in-game, albeit without a proper model, missing sounds and somewhat broken AI. <br />
<br />
Spawn code: ent_create npc_rocket_turret<br />
|-<br />
| style="text-align: center;" | '''Zombie'''<br />
| In the "scripts" folder of ''Portal 2'', a file called "npc_sounds_zombie_aperture" can be found. The file references sounds that were not shipped with the game, nor does attempting to spawn the npc yield any results.<br />

| An early version of ''[[Portal 2]]'' retained the Paint Gun from the student project ''[[Tag: The Power of Paint]]'', and it functioned in a similar manner of being able to spray certain types of [[Gels|paint]] for puzzle solving. The Paint Gun was removed from Portal 2, but was revived in the third-party retail modification ''[[Aperture Tag: The Paint Gun Testing Initiative]]'', where it is the central mechanic.<br />

== Trivia ==<br />
* Prior to the the [[March 3, 2010 Patch (Portal)|March 3, 2010 patch]] for ''Portal'' the [[Party Escort Bot]] was considered to be cut content; it was added back into the game to fulfill its original purpose of {{spoiler|"collect[ing] Chell after she escapes the fiery death that GLaDOS had prepared for her."}}<br />
<br />
* Early Portal 2 animations reveal that some animations were scrapped from the game due to (possibly) containing creepy properties.<br />

<div>'''The Futbol''' is a scrapped co-op testing element from [[Portal 2]].<br />
<br />
== Mechanics ==<br />
'''Futbol''' was designed as an element in a soccer-like game that would have starred [[Atlas]] and [[P-body]] as the contestants. The game would have had both players try to get the ball into each other's sockets. Futbol is fragile and was only ever intended to be carried with the zero point energy field manipulators on the players' portal guns.<br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
Futbol has a ''Portal'' texturing technique and style. It has a partial white metal encasing that holds a fragile glass ball inside it. <br />
