[BETA 4] A very Aperture adventure
I loved the bts exploration of Portal2, and I wanted to re-imagine and expand upon the 1970s sections, so here's what I've been working on for the last six months: Screenshots here (dated September 04): http://steamcommunity.com/id/RufusThorne/screenshots/ Map 3 in a series, featuring (soon) a daring escape from the test track, some great open exploration of my idea of a 1970s themed bts area. This is more an aesthetic excercise than a playable map with puzzles, but it has an entrance and an exit all the same. Hopefully I will find a way to incorporate some puzzles in the next beta. Please take time to explore (nearly ALL DOORS will open!!) and you'll know when you get to the exit, because the door closes behind you (it's up top) There's a current issue with missing brushes depending on look-angle (fog_controller issue I'm still sorting out) and some areas are overly bright or overly dark. Again, I'm working on this. Once again, please check the screenshots, explore the map, and I'm eagerly awaiting your comments in the discussion thread. *** NEW IN BETA 4 FIXED: Missing reception floor area (thanks tehkasl) FIXED: Replaced some trigger_once doors with trigger_multiple Removed some vitrified doors, replaced with better ones. Large amounts of detail work, reworking of some areas Very large area has been made larger (!) Visibility optimisation Tweaked fog controller *** NEW IN BETA 3 FIXED: Non-Solid railings Tweaked fog controller some more Completely new start area Fire! and moving things! Liberally added Areaportals and HINT brushes *** NEW IN BETA 2 FIXED: Dissappearing wall bug Tweaked fog controller (still needs more tweaking)

CG's Companion Cube Rescue Mission
Deep within an old, overgrown Aperture test chamber are six companion cubes, each trapped behind its own puzzle. Your mission is to rescue these cubes and take them to the SCANNER in the hub and place them in the big round vent. You can scan any item you are able to pick up, but only the companion cubes will advance you. Try scanning each. Non linear rooms, can be solved in any order. NO AUTOSAVES YET!! REMEMBER TO QUICKSAVE BEFORE EACH AREA!! Once you have rescued 5 of the 6 cubes the exit door will open. I currently do not require all 6, I figured if one of them gives you too much trouble you can skip it. Area 6 is sort of optional, I was thinking of adding some more layers to the puzzle with that laser relay (currently unused) to make area 6 super hard, but make it an acheivement to get all 6. However I could just leave it at the sort of medium-low difficulty it is right now, and have it there in case players can't solve any of areas 1 through 5. Feedback appreciated! There is a secret hidden ratman's den in ONE of the test chambers (where there are chairs to scan) See if you can find it! Area 6 is not quite finished, I am going to make it more complicatesd, and yes in this version it is possible to cheat and get the cube by stacking other cubes. NOTE: it IS possible to get stuck inside some of the chambers after you get the companion cube. I cant really find a way around this, all I can say is when you take the companion cube out of its puzzle test chamber, DONT throw it out. Replays greatly appreciated!
Cube Collector
This is my first map. So please don't be angry, if there's a little error. I have tested the map with a friend, and we think, it works really fine. The players have to collect six cubes in the different rooms of a fortress. But wait! Isn't there one cube too less? Preview screenshots: Lobby: http://files.homepagemodules.de/b29324/ ... 77n228.jpg 1st room: http://files.homepagemodules.de/b29324/ ... 77n229.jpg 2nd room: http://files.homepagemodules.de/b29324/ ... 77n230.jpg 3rd room: http://files.homepagemodules.de/b29324/ ... 77n231.jpg 4th room: http://files.homepagemodules.de/b29324/ ... 77n232.jpg 5th room: http://files.homepagemodules.de/b29324/ ... 77n233.jpg 6th room: Does it exist? Most of the rooms can be played in any order. Note: Some of the cubes are invisible from the beginning, but they appear after pushing a button. So you first have to find the right button, then you have to find the cube, that just appeared. Hope you have fun playing this map! If there are any problems, please feel free to tell me. As I said, it's my first map, and I would be GLaD to get tips, how my maps could become better in the future. But perhaps, you like this as it is! Updated on June 30th, 2011: Updated the 6th puzzle to avoid shortcuts.
Gel Flow Particle Systems
This is a map with a couple of example Gel-Flow Particle Systems. This is how Valve made Gel look like it is flowing through pipes (and curving in them). You can just copy and paste these into your maps, however keep the angles of the info_particle_system's the same to the info_target as this is how it tells which way to curve the Gel. I would suggest you to ignore the different "Control Points" as decompiling a Valve map shows that they only used 1 info_target for 1 particle control system. Searching through the Portal files I couldn't find the name of a water one but I am pretty sure that there is one. If you do find out the name of the particle system, then post a comment below and I will edit this thread.
Panel Activated by looking, deactivated by looking away.
This is a panel that is activated by the player looking at it. For anyone interested, I thought that this would make a good puzzle element. Here is a demonstration video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5tJV7mlDwQ Please note that this is a prefab, not an instance or a file you just copy and paste. If you wish you could make this into an instance but I kept it as a prefab for the movability of the trigger. Prefabs go inside your Portal 2/bin/Prefabs folder. Explanation on how it works (if you can't figure out for yourself): If the player is looking at the panel (onTrigger) it will trigger the open relay. To make sure that the animations are played in order it will disable the open relay and enable the close relay. The opposite for the other relay. Since the trigger_look cannot use the OnTimeout output when it has Triggered I used a timer to disable and re-enable the trigger so then the player can fire the outputs again. If you are to edit this to make the platforms close slower etc. Make sure you make the timer fire longer than the timeout value in the trigger_look. Otherwise the panels will never close. If you need help with anything in the prefab, please don't hesitate to post a reply in the topic.

diversity testing
This might not be accepted, because the clock on the site was ahead, and it refused to upload at first. Extra note: After finally being able to TEST it, I've discovered that, shockingly, the only thing completely broken is a single laser, and the unimportant game end effect. Of course, it's still technically broken, but I had to try to submit thirty seconds before the deadline. It's also riddled with physics bugs, as a bonus. The first two tests work perfectly, though, and a lot of things that I expected not to, do work. There's a whole two working puzzles, even. Too late to fix anything, though. SO YEAH, the end is broken. A laser doesn't turn on, and a door won't open. The part before that, will take a billion tries because of a bug with trigger_push. I can't fix it past the deadline, so it's stuck like that. You've been warned.
