Tool to mod Portal 2's Puzzlemaker
The BEE2 allows reconfiguring Portal 2's Puzzlemaker editor to use additional items, reskin maps for different eras, and configure many other aspects. All vanilla items have been upgraded with additional bugfixes and improvements.
The packages (item, style, etc definitions) are in the BEE2-Items repository.

)You'll need Python 3.8 or later, for 32-bit / Windows 7 you need 3.8 specifically.
First, grab the repo and then clone the HammerAddons submodule:
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/BEEmod/BEE2.4.git
cd BEE2.4
git submodule update --init
Run python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

Finally, switch to the BEE2.4 repo and build the compiler, then the application (You should be in the BEE2.4 folder already):
cd src/
pyinstaller --distpath ../dist/64bit/ --workpath ../build_tmp compiler.spec
pyinstaller --distpath ../dist/64bit/ --workpath ../build_tmp BEE2.spec
The built application is found in BEE2.4/dist/64bit/BEE2/
.
To generate the packages zips, either manually zip the contents of each folder or
use the compile_packages
script in BEE2-items.
This does the same thing, but additionally removes some unnessary content
to decrease file sizes - comments, blank lines, hidden visgroups.
