[SP] Test Map Pack
A collection of 7 maps I've made over the past few weeks to test various ideas. They are all dead simple...well, I tried to make the last one difficult, but I believe I did it in all the wrong ways (long walks, lots of shuffling between platforms, and some things aren't that visible). Anyways, each map will lead to the next. There are no elevators, so after completing a chamber, walk past, through, and onward from the exit doors. There are triggers set to change to the next map 3 seconds after you contact them. Start the sequence with "map testMap_3_movingButton". Note: [SP] Bits or Pieces was initially part of this, but since I submitted it for the Mapping Contest, it has been omitted. It revisits the moving button and rotating room ideas.

Portal 2 Timers example
=================== Portal 2 timer examples =================== This is just an example map that includes the basics of 2 working timers (a countdown and a countup) that uses custom materials (numbers). The intention is to show the required entities and their inputs/outputs to understand the logic behind a timer made in the hammer editor. Also this method allows you the posibility to use your own custom typo/numbers to fit your map's aesthetics... For this example I used the typo "DIN Next LT Pro Condensed", because I think it's pretty much similar to the typo used by Valve for the signage lightboard; so if you are too lazy to make your own material and want to use it in a normal Portal2 map, it'll look good. So the purpose for this could be considered as merely didactic The basic idea under this method is to make an overlay with 10 frames (the ten numbers, from 0-9) and go changing its textureindex with the entity "env_texturetoggle". HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN CUSTOM NUMBERS ---------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Open an image editor of your choice, take the font that you like and make 10 separate images, one per number (from 0 to 9), and REMEMBER to always give the image a size which values are a power of 2 (like 128x256 that I gave in this case). I prefer making .png files... you can do .tga as well... Whatever format that allows you recording an alpha channel (transparency) because this way, our numbers overlays would be stickable on whatever texture 2. Name each of them with a name followed by a suffix like "_0", "_1", "_2", and so on... Obviously, try to make that suffix coincides with the number into the image... lol. 3. Now open VTFEdit (http://nemesis.thewavelength.net/index.php?c=178) and go to File > Import. Now select at the same time (holding Ctrl or Shift keys down) all the ten image files. Do not resize the images. You can check into the "info" tab how the file contains 10 frames (each of them is a different number). I also made a cutie dots (":") to separate the seconds from the minutes and make them flicker: for this you need to make 2 textures, one with the dots and other completely empty but with the same size, then do the same as for the numbers, import them with VTFEdit selecting both at the same time. 4. Then save this file as .vtf into your "materials" folder (you can create whatever folder of your choice into /materials of course) giving it a whatever name. 5. Now you should create the .vmt file for the above .vtf file. Both names must be the same, only their extensions change... In this example, my .vmt file contains the following: UnlitGeneric { $baseTexture "josepezdj/numbers/black_numbers" $surfaceprop glass $translucent 1 "%keywords" portal $decal 1 Proxies { ToggleTexture { toggleTextureVar $baseTexture toggleTextureFrameNumVar $frame toggleTextureShouldWrap 0 } } } You can simply copy all that only replacing the path "josepezdj/numbers/black_numbers" by the one where your .vtf file is located and the name of your file. I guess it's clear. However, do not hesitate to ask whatever question or doubt Once created your custom texture for the ten numbers, check inside the attached .vmf in your hammer editor to see how you can set the timers up easily. Read the Readme.txt file for instructions info. A further post with an explanation in detail about how the timer system works is in the topic of this download, for those who doesn't really extract much info from the vmf file... josepezdj

Dojo of Pain(t)
Welcome Ninjas! This is my fifth map and my first try to implement gels. I worked a lot on this one and I think it's finally ready to be released. As you can see by the name this map focuses a lot on your agility skills. I would recommend that only average players should try this. And for those who are playing with a controller..... buy a mouse. Note: You don't need any kind of crazy bunnyhopping or insane strafejumps to solve it. Agility means there are moves that require quickness and precission. Anyways I tried to make the solution as clean as possible so if your failing a lot at some point you should probably try something else. As always I'm happy to see your solutions and please give me some feedback. Good luck ninjas! v1.1 removed multiple unintended solutions (Thanks to Jacu, Sicklebrick, Shakky and HeadShot) v1.2 fixed more unintended solutions by shakky and Jacu v1.3 fixed Jacus unintended solution for the end move.

Average expected playtime: Upgraded to 4 hours, 3 hours was an underestimate Difficulty: Nyskrte-esque Permanent +remote_view and voice communications are advised. I've been working on this beast for two months and I feel now is the time to unleash it. I hope you enjoy it, as always feedback is appreciated. If you want to play my other maps, look to my signature for links. There are now two versions of the map included in the download, mp_coop_halfosity allows you and your partner to continue immediately from completing the triangle chamber. This was done in response to the numerous criticism regarding the map's abnormal length and becoming disconnected due to unreliable internet connections. While this will double the size of the download, I feel it is a moot issue, as the amount of time you will spend playing the map will likely far exceed the time spent downloading it.

[SP] Momentum
update Momentum v_5 Fixed issues: - The gel doesn?t leak through the floor/ceiling (Thanks Mr. P. Kiwi!) - Removed that "hover in mid-air behaviour" from both lasers in room 1 (Thanks pedmacedo!) - Cube can?t be retrieved after increasing the counter anymore (Thanks Seizure22!) - Corrected the ?type mismatch? for the fizzler in room 2 (Thanks pfalstad!) ________ update Momentum v_4 Will add a detailed list of fixes later on... (Should fix all issues mentioned in the thread.) ________ [SP] Momentum v_3 First of all I?d like to thank all of you who have contributed to the WIP thread and to Demonz312 for his ramp instance (which you can find here: panel Stairs+instances). Very special thanks to NuclearDuckie and josepezdj who have not only playtested this map but also made many suggestions to solve several issues and had great ideas for improving some puzzle elements. As a first map this was quite ambitious and I should have started with a smaller one. However, despite the fact that it took way too long, it was fun making it and learning Hammer. As I?ve written in the WIP thread especially the first puzzle element is about angle, timing and of course ?Momentum?. It also has two new custom elements. An anti-player and an anti-cube laser field. The first denies the player but allows the cube whereas the second one works the other way around. At first I used env_lasers to make those laser fields but then found a better, less expensive way using func_brushes with ?abused? textures. Hope you like it... __________ Screenshots: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/7656 ... reenshots/ __________ Please do not rename the bsp-file, else you would have to rebuild the cubemaps properly which would cause an increase in file size, thank you! I made this with the first custom maps I downloaded and wondered at some ugly reflections __________ Known issues: - One of the brush entities is ceiling and floor at the same time with a gel dropper above. The gel can be seen (leaking) through it (any ideas???). - The cube in the first test chamber might get stuck under a panel. I was only able to solve this problem rather clumsily but it should work. - Due to the random nature of func_physboxes in motion, you might get stuck when moving among them and rigid elements. This only happened once to me, yet I thought I should mention it. - There?re also parts in this map which require to crouch and move through small openings; I can assure you that I adhered to the minimum measures for height and width, however josepez told me of some problems which might occur due to a corrupt dll-file. In that case you should check that first. - I liked a custom env_laser element I made much better with end sparks but they were visible through other func_details and walls (again, any ideas?).
