Short Guide to Portal Achievement: Transmission Received

[MINIKIMFTW]

LOL Buuurn

[CrazyFaceEInc]

the dancing at the beginning is epic

[ronathandaman]

1) The first one didn't give me any morse code, even when I put it on the red button. 2) There was no radio on top of the camera when I played through it.

[ronathandaman]

@ronathandaman Never mind. I found out that I will have to beat the game before this works.

[lobsteros]

@ronathandaman Beat the game AT LEAST once. Also make sure that you have the most recent version of Portal.

[AxlCake]

WHAT DO THEY MEEEAAAN

[Portal2Rulez]

@AxlCake If you get a decoder, it shows pics.

[Maker521]

@AxlCake I DONT UNDERSTAND!!!!!!

[AxlCake]

@Maker521 wow dude i commented here like half a year ago, you don't reply to comments that old D:

[TheCandSfilms]

Anyone else notice that at the begining, the radio light was green. when you find it on the camera it's red..

[TheCandSfilms]

0:12 i also tend to jam out to music like that.

[xharuxharix]

My computer restarted when GLaDOS started malfunctioning. >XD

[Pokeblox45]

my radio light at the start is red

[BluePi1313]

@Stulofty1 I spent 10$ on it lol

[boorelius]

@BluePi1313 It's actually free now as well ;P

[BluePi1313]

@boorelius oh well it was worth it.

[BluePi1313]

You will find radios in the most random places in the most random rooms

[Vyndorion]

The first Transmission Received was morse code but the second one was a SSTV

[cj518movies]

I van translate it give me a second to find the hole thing FYI it is a pic not words I have been decoding them

[minecrafter1506]

What did the radio say in morse code? Could you at least tell us?

[boynedmaster]

This dosent work?

[FireStarDoink]

I love how you totally freak out when her voice messes up xD

[yaniv1998]

it wont work if you write the hack sv_cheats 1

[12q8]

can any1 translate the morse code?

[munchi11]

Whatt the hell



[killinkier123]

i dont get any achievements for some reason and i dont see the green light on the radios there no light on them at all :L y??

[commando377]

I tried to do this in the orange box but there is no achivement and i found a couple radios but it dident work? why?

[doctorseaweed2]

[loqsea2]

[slipperygypsy1]

@Stulofty1 fuckk i brought mine on the 5th of steam

[robloxdude0103]

@Stulofty1 my birthday. fock!

[EymTheStrongest]

Its not morse. Its signals for tv. If you plugged the old tv video signals into a sound port, you would get similiar sounds.

[tdwurzel]

RADIO

[itsmyisliand]

They way you play is pretty funny

[robloxdude0103]

is this on the orange box version?

[opkom]

@robloxdude0103

[opkom]

@robloxdude0103

Green light? Wtf, stop smoking so much you dont know what a Teddy bear is ;)

[robloxdude0103]

@opkom i meant on the radio...

[l4dful]

@robloxdude0103 You dont need green light -____- On the radio

[robloxdude0103]

@l4dful then this is the pc version :D no wonder i tried to maake it work.

[InfectedGuppy606]

oh... i usually just throw the radio in the toilet and go away from the relaxation vault XD

[MetalYoshi2009]

what does the morse code sais?

[vogaX]

2:34 fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!

[josipbabok2]

[opkom]

@josipbabok2

Buy it :)



[KOSKY4EVER]

Will this game work for windows 7

[HungryGuyStories]

@KOSKY4EVER - Yes! It runs very well with Windows 7.

[Donthinkso500]

@KOSKY4EVER Well, Duh, Yeah, Get steam and buy it /:

[DragonM246]

did you know that when you record when the radio died after you was getting in the elevetor it says your next before it dies :P

[jonny0882]

2,49 GBP :) yummie :)

[nukesvids]

doesnt work for me the radio doesnt have that green light its plain. I put it over the same spot and nothing happened but the achivement is on the achivements list

[OneHappyBlonde]

like the dancing at the start! XD

[0m3ga1000]

whats the morse code say?

[Voteonme]

@0m3ga1000 the first letters are GU then i cant hear more

[Devilshell999]

dude learn the map first :)

[thepuchero1]

the redio is a lie..............

[clissy08]

i gotts find those... oh god

[maleable11]

I got all but 2 of those radios... fucking radios hiding everywhere

[Cmdloy]

Is this for 360 too?

[GlitchMasterSonic]

@Cmdloy i found out that it isnt sadly :(

[blueblood2486]

pause at 1:05 she has force powers

[ctacox07]

If you are playing on the 360 is it possible to get this update anytime in the future? And what is the point of the radios besides achievements? Portal Two ads in morse code?

[WarZoneLP]

how i got this?

[STLaiho]

Lol Record with Fraps, yes, but do not use WMM nor some video converter, just get yourself Sony Vegas and render it to proper codec, for example x264. Tuts, etc. can be found here..

[Atlacatonatl]

love the samba remix! i wish valve release it in a future update or as free content

[pivotfreaky]

It doesn´t work for me.

The Radios have no Red/Green Light!

Why?

[Berzerkerblazify]

@pivotfreaky Your probaly playing on a Xbox 360 without internet then...

[pivotfreaky]

@Berzerkerblazify

Im playing on a Computer.

[Robfire10]

@pivotfreaky Same here 0.e

[shifter765]

thanks DUDE

[miciso666]

so a green light means done?

[TomClark2]

cool aspect ration bro!

[tooplex]

@TomClark2

That was WMM not me, I normally run at 1680x1050, but you know i dont want it being over 200 mb.

[TomClark2]

@tooplex If you want to resize future videos try Iwisoft free video converter, it is what I use for my videos. I had the same problem with WMM.

WMM randomly resizes videos and stuff occasionally. I think you can use youtube tags to stretch videos like this though, you should look into it if you want.

[tooplex]

@TomClark2 Ok, Thank you very much Tom, Ill look into it.

[BrinkOnEdge]

@tooplex You should run Portal or whatever game at 1280x720 in windowed mode, and record that with Fraps. Then you just need to compress it.

[crispycannibal]

@TomClark2 ration?

[Wrash16]

Can you do one with the Fratricide achievement?

[joelcll]

@Wrash16 you have to kill the companion cube

[Wrash16]

@joelcll Thanks, for some reason I got it in my second playthorugh instead of the first

[SSBBmre]

i'm pretty sure i did all those but it only says i have 25 out of 26... the last one was green even before i placed it at the right space...

[yobyllas]

Can you get these acheivements for the XBLA version? I downloaded it hoping the alternate ending would be with it too...

[sashkod]

ok i have portal on stem and when i start the game i take the radio where you take it but nothing happens the music keeps on playing also i try do do some achievment like hit a turret with another turrent and the achievment doesnt unlock

why?

[joseph007dj]

lol, you like dancing with that radio huh?

[dj09ish]

i wonder what the morse code message says?

it could be the truth about the aperture science secret... thats if there is 1 anyway.

but either way, the radios could be important

[alaskanhybrid]

@dj09ish i know what it is for it had something to do with Portal 2

[StickStef]

lol nice dance moves :D

[chaquator]

You have it for mac? So do I!

[marsvin55]

you get portal for free now taht is kinda lame buty the game as i did XD no but it is kinda nice taht it is free

[sk8erDustin]

wen u went through the portal at 2:30 it flickered

[todbot1]

Seems to me like that music would drive you insane long before you got all 26 of them.

[DagX9000]

To make the radio(s) play morse code, take them outside of the test chamber of which they were found. If you decode the morse code with a fax protocol, a disturbing sequence of images is shown.

[Hemmels]

LOL you fail at portal.

[BahometProductions]

i knew it :D

[XR11995]

I dont get it, I got my portal version updated, but i dont see these radios, not even te green light, why?

[YourMNKY]

@XR11995

You gotta play the whole storyline once.

[XR11995]

@YourMNKY oh man, really? again? I already played the whole story but I never actually finished it correctly, thx anyways

[pinkrosa44]

I dont get it, I got my portal version updated, but i dont see these radios, not even te green light, why?

[karnkraftverk]

What did you record with?

[tooplex]

@karnkraftverk

Fraps

[Audiocrazed]

@tooplex lol, Farps.

[RobertMorley70]

To get the radios, you have to have completed the game at least once.

[P1CH190]

PORTALIS FREEE!!! YAY!!

[Speyde]

Please Read this! This is Crazy!!!

This Sound is a Code. A Code If you Encode it, you get this

Crazy Picture of Portal 2 and you Can Read GLADOS Had Version 3.11

Very Nice easter egg !!!

Sorry for Bad English !

[luckypeic]

i have original portal for pc but i dont have radio whit red and green light and i cant ge morse code

[gadalia10]

I bet the views on this are going to spike up, because portal is free for a week and a half and most steam gamers will want to see the achievments of their new free game,so when they see trasmission recieve with "...?" to get it most people with youtube will watch this, lol

YOU WIN

[jchackman]

That weird, cuz i recently got Portal., and when i go though the button part, no morse code, and no radio over tha camera in test chamber 02! :(

[SephirothPwnedYou]

Do you need to beat the game to find the radios? Cuz, I just got Portal from Steam today, after I found out it's free til the 24th of May, and I see the achievement in my achievement list, but the radio in the first room doesn't have a light on it, and there's no hidden radios in the other chambers. I'm confuzzled...

[biodredd]

@SephirothPwnedYou

The radios are not hidden. They are in plain sight somewhere in each of the rooms.

[derdominik93]

@biodredd

at least you hear its music lolz

[killer21334]

lol i got this completley by accident(i take the radio outside of the room every time) so i bring it to the spot and suddenly bam SSTV i sorta freaked out i thought my pc was haunted or something

[firecracker8900]

i know morse kode and i think its saying help help, the computer has become aware quickly!

[xL1PEx]

@firecracker8900 All the radios sound the same morse code?

[firecracker8900]

@xL1PEx yah i think i cant really tell half the time

[achivementdude]

have anyone actually decoded all the morse code messages?

[KRSONMar]

Okay,watching that,I had a mental image of Chell dancing around in the detention vault with the radio,lol.

[armadillosnacks]

GLaDOS is rebooting. Look up what the morse code says.

[ST2790]

ive tried everyplace but dont get the morse code ive copied the video exactly and it doesnt work

[lpsp2]

0:20 stop dancing!

[MegaBigdadddy]

at least he put up a guide

[Lightedfuse1996]

my radio has a red light not a green one like every one else D:

[eno88]

my guess, it shows you wether you got that radio 'transmitting' already or not.

[dylandionrakiman]

maybe you got early release or no steam

[smikema]

@Lightedfuse1996

You have to get the radio to the point where it starts picking up morse code.

[error404error404]

@Lightedfuse1996 That means you didn't find the transmission yet

[svengoolie007]

Damn, dude. You suck. I can't believe someone so stupid that can't think ahead in the first bloody test chamber would make a video like this. Though, the way you call it a guide is more telling.

[tooplex]

@svengoolie007 What the crap are you on about?

[tooplex]

@svengoolie007 No, the thing is i didnt know where the signal was, this was me doing from first opening the game. So i thought you had to stand on the button. Not an idiot. Just dont follow guides straight away. Oh whoops. Looks like you are the twat now.

[L4DGuitarG0d]

Kinda scary.

[Adam123C]

There really was a cake.

[AJ121official]

Guy's, it's not moors code.

You can take the sound from the game and use some program to make it a picture, which has a phone number that you can connect to. (Not through telephone, that just slows down everyone else who's actually connecting)

[daor734]

Will the updated ending come to Xbox 360?

[80007ap]

1:03 chell is holding the radio with SHEER MIND POWER

[Droctogonpus]

They updated something...

Y'know how GLaDOS says to assume the "Party submission position?" Well, now, at the end of the game when you're lying out in the empty lot, you're on the floor, with the device on the ground.

You then hear in the backround in a low-toned robotic voice: 'THANK YOU FOR ASSUMING THE CORRECT PARTY SUBMISSION POSITION." And are dragged away. This helped me understand the meaning more clearly of the final cutscene with the cake.

[FurryShep]

spoiler alert much? :P

[zombieman354]

@Droctogonpus

Ya after that it goes through the service tunnels and shows you the cake with all the computer cores around it. After a few seconds the cores start activating. When Steam announced Portal 2, they said that throughout the game you will be helped by various computer cores that were essentially spare parts for GLaDOS that were programmed to come online if GLaDOS was destroyed by some accident.

[DiarrheaDick]

Does anyone know if / when there will be an update for XBOX360?

[tooplex]

Gabe says go home.

[JuhnaNemiko]

Ha, updates for the 360. No, due to Microsoft having that whole "You Must Pay For Content" thing, you'll probably never see updates for the Orange Box or any Valve game on the 360 for free.

[DiarrheaDick]

Did I just get 2 thumbs down for asking a question?

Must be some fat ass PC fanboys. Instead of pointing your thumbs down for me, why don't you try putting them in a female? After you lick the Doritos cheese from them of course.

[ElRhinoProductions]

@DiarrheaDick now you ahve 3 thumbs down thanks to pig headedness

[DiarrheaDick]

@ElRhinoProductions Pig headedness, huh? Well, at least I EARNED that "thumbs down".

I take it your one of those PC fanboys?

[dwoclan]

in one of the room it says beep beep beep beep beep :D

[Kingsly9802]

Some of the code translates to:

User back up active

Password back up active

If you go to the aperture science website you can login with cjohnson as your ID and tier3 as your password.

They removed that not long after portal came out and now it's back up.

[untitled1productions]

This probably has to do with finding another test subject in Portal 2, and might even relate it to HL2: ep3!

[fupa16]

the test subject in 2 is the same as 1, chell is put into cryo stasis and awakes a couple centuries later to find the aperture science facilities in decay. they changed the ending of 1 to support the new fiction.

[ultranoodles]

i wouldnt say centuries

[fupa16]

well according to game informer it is indeed centuries, somewhere around 200 years since the events of the first game. i'd say thats a pretty legitimate source.

[ultranoodles]

i figured hl2 ep 3 and portal 2 were related, and that was only about 25 years since the combine

and it seems that the combine were still very much in control of everything at the time of portal

so after 200 years it sounds like it would kinda be a spoiler for what happens for a very long time

[Kingsly9802]

@ultranoodles

Not necessarily.

Half-life 2 is set closely after the original, but in an alternate line. They could realistically be very close or entirely separate.

[ultranoodles]

@Kingsly9802

no

Halflife 2 is set 20 years into the future, after the combine exploited the hole that the zen world used to invade, and took control in 7 hours

[ultranoodles]

i cant find it

[fupa16]

page 53, the first paragraphs at the beginning of the text on that page. "One new detail complicates Valve's carefully implemented continuity - Portal 2 takes place hundreds of years after the original game."

[ultranoodles]

the april edition?

[L4DGuitarG0d]

Then...then why is Chell still the figure of...WTF VALVE!? STOP CONFUSING ME!

[zombieman354]

@ultranoodles

lol good job man

how are you doing with this achievement anyway?

[Marb750]

@unioncitymusic

I can confirm this. I just bought Portal (AFTER all the hoopla and Portal2 announcement, lol) and the new radios weren't available until after I got the Heartbreaker achievement.

[ozerataoglu]

MY game is updated and the achievement appears on the list(locked) but the previous radios don't look changed and the new ones just aren't there. Are they removed?

[lolawesomeness5]

Truth: Some of the radio is morse code, in other levels, its RXSSTV bitmaps.

[fminusvids]

lol @ 0:53

yet this opens up new mysteries

[bangNL94]

dude... creepy.

no really ive always felt a certian creepyness with morse codes, maybe its the idea of a secret message you cant read... :?

[nuggetzor]

How is morse code "a secret language you can't read"

[Protection220]

HOLY FUCK

[baseballboy720]

Yah i'm having a problem with the achievement =/  for some reason it doesn't do the code and when I look for the radios they arn't there... :[ Can somebody help me?

[unioncitymusic]

I'm in the same boat as you. I start a new game, pick up the radio in the start room on Chapter 1, but when I take it over to the button - the radio doesn't "scramble"

[tooplex]

If you are on the 360 then thats why. IF not then restart steam and try again.

[unioncitymusic]

Figured it out - you need to complete the entire game once first (Heartbreaker achievement) - then the next time you play through the lights will be red.

[ozerataoglu]

@baseballboy720 I'm having the same problem. And the update does appear on the update list. Hopefully someone will reply to our problem.

[scriptedfate]

The first transmission is Morse Code and is translated as

Interior transmission active

External data line active

Message digest active

[MBCsi]

Portal is probably the best game i've ever played and would definately recommend it. Half Life 2 and its add-on episodes are both amazing aswell and, seeing as it was released in 2004 and doesn't look or feel dated then its well woth a look at.

Just get it.

If you haven't heard of these games then its probably because your too busy playing generic unoriginal titles such as Modern Warfare 2...
