Portal Event
The Portal Event is an interrupted Type 5 demo generated with the classic Interlope command (no special tooling). The "event" is the way the interruption changes when the demo is disconnected.
- Type 5 demo (in a dark level) generated "at the time limit"
- Anomi says "we got one", then disconnects wifi. Message shows "CONNECTION LOST"
- "Time remaining" graphic added in post
- Player character becomes a HL2 citizen but continues to move with DMNPC > Natural movement
- POV leaves player character and becomes an A-posed figure of indeterminate build
- Shadow may be
player.mdlbut does not have an umbrella.
- Shadow may be
- With a type 5 "captured", camera moves to floating noclip and interaction triggers placement of Hint Nodes.
- A stationary Umbrella Man can be seen in an observation room at 13:45, prior to the first chime sound.
- Anomi notes the Dark Levels
- Anomi finds the Chel model as an umbrella Windchimes in
- A player also exists on the level separate from the editor POV or the dmnpc?
- An umbrella man is seen but from the opposite direction from the wind chime
- Umbrella man appears (while game paused) and runs into the camera
- Is this really an attack? The Red Room Portal is put into is ultimately helpful
#theory This demo shows the presence of at least two distinct umbrella men. While we don't see both on screen at once, the audio cue comes from the opposite direction as the figure seen.
Further, we see an Umbrella Man intentionally hiding from the player, so another pawn being out of sight is in keeping with that.
#blooper: the bind commands used to echo messages are briefly visible in the console history
