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.
- Download the latest releases of the BEE2.4 and items from the following pages:
- Extract the contents of the Application release anywhere you like. e.g.
C:\BEE2.4- Do not put BEE in your Portal 2 installation folder
- Place extracted package folder in the root BEE2 folder. e.g.
C:\BEE2.4\packages - To run, locate the BEE2 application in the app folder and execute it. e.g.
C:\BEE2.4\BEE2.exe
Linux support exists, but is experimental. We do not currently provide precompiled releases. See the BEE2.4 on Linux wiki article for more information.
BEE2.4 no longer supports macOS, and Portal 2 has not been able to run natively on the platform for many years at this point. See the BEE2.4 on macOS wiki article for more information.
We also retain repositories for several older versions of BEEmod. These mostly exist for archival purposes and are generally not updated anymore.
- BEEMOD: The original BEEMOD 1.5 from 2012. Modifies the editor directly and doesn't have an app. Very outdated and missing many features, but generally stable. Might be useful if you're on a system that can't run BEE2.4.
- BEE2.2: The original version of the BEE2 app. Written in C# and only runs on Windows. Very buggy.
- BEE2.2 Resources: Resources used by BEE2.2, including precompiled builds. Very buggy.
- tspenAddons: TeamSpen210's add-on pack for BEE2.2, which adds several additional items/styles and improves the base ones. Has a website that goes over its features in more detail.
