I am in need of Source Engine and/or Portal 2 experts.
Can someone explain to me why there are some custom/hidden console commands, most of which are restricted to only the cooperative mode?

Is this a reference to what Glados says when you do the taunts?

No, this is for the co-op mode end credits.

There appears to be undocumented console commands for Portal 2 that only function in the Portal 2 Cooperative Mode, and are probably only ever used during the credits (after opening the vault to the humans). (Funnily enough, "go_to_hub" does actually work in singleplayer and will load you into the coop hub map, more specifically the "DLC area" or whatever that is. Why that one is an exception, I do not know.) In the image I have shared here, I have typed the following command as an example: coop_set_credits_jobtitle "Honestly quite incredible <<" (I honestly just quoted a meme here, but it still serves as an example nonetheless.) I've acquired those commands from a .nut file, located in: ...\Portal 2\portal2_dlc1\scripts\vscripts\credits\credits_coop.nut These commands themselves appear to be locaded in: ...\Portal 2\portal2\bin\server.dll (using HxD was required for me to view the contents of the .dll) And that's pretty much where my knowledge and my journey is at currently, and I am at my end here.
