Research and Development mod for Half-Life 2

Update: Thanks to "Sparks" at PlanelPhillip.com, for pointing out to me that you don't press the buttons with the mouse, but instead with "use" (E). I haven't comfirmed that yet, but I'm sure that's nailed it.
I'm 25% embarrassed, but not a single percentage point more: the way the mouse cursor turns into a finger is more than a "hint" to press the mouse button - it's hardcore blatant. Still, the rest of the mod is awesome, and I should acknowledge that a one-person show can't afford level of QA and play testing that the major studios can.

Additional info:
(a) The console is frantically scrolling this message:
Material models / magnusson_teleporter / magnusson_teleporter_fxglow1 does not support vertex format used by the mesh (maybe missing fields or mismatched vertex compression?), mesh will not be rendered. Grab a programmer!
(b) there are six mouted square plates, three on each side, of the energy cube containment cylinder. The INSIDE faces of these squares are transparent, allowing me to see the wall on the other side. (The outside faces are rendered correctly).

i have the same problem D:

I found out how to fix this- 'Luther2K' gives this fix on the developers profile:
"This got me too. I solved it by adding a command via the console. You should be able to add it to a script file too:

bind k ent_fire ui disable

which will bind the command 'ent_fire ui disable' to k. Use the 'k' key to properly exit Mr. Whirly. 'ent_fire' is a command used to fire commands to objects and is usually used as a debugging tool. In this case it tells the current UI (in this case, Mr. Whirly's fans) to disable itself, returning control to the player."

And 'Valius_Forter' replied with this:

"I had to change your command a little;

bind k ent_fire ui deactivate

'disable' didn't work, so I tried writing it from the beginning and that showed up and worked. Cheers mate! "

Hope this sorts the problem for you as well!
