Portal 2 Level Creation

Below is a list of 396 soundscapes for use in Portal 2 Portal 2. The game also contains all of Portal Portal's soundscapes, which own list can be found here. An easy way of testing them is to use the playsoundscape console command, which includes searching for all valid soundscape names so you shouldn't have to print out a copy of this list for reference.

Soundscapes with 'util' in the name are intended for inclusion in other, full soundscapes. While they should work without problems in-game, they generally aren't nearly as varied or deep as the resulting composites. Others have positional sounds which will be played at certain locations specified in the env_soundscape entity's properties. If these locations are not given, the sounds will not be heard. Some may use coordinates to place sound in specific places in the world instead of with the use of positions, as this is an out-of-map approach which means it is unnecessary to compile the map to change position data, although this also means developers must change the coordinates on their own for every soundscape they use that have these as they always are tailored to a specific map.

A preview video of these soundscapes can be found here.
