Aldez's Portal Prefabs
My collection of 51 documented prefabs. DESCRIPTION This is a collection of 51 documented prefabs to make your map creation for Portal easier. The beginners of mapping can learn from these prefabs while the experienced can use them to speed up the mapping process. I cannot test all prefabs under all conditions myself, so bug reports are welcome. If you miss something, please send your requests by e-mail or, preferably, by posting in the forums at FPSBanana or ThinkingWithPortals. INSTALLATION Extract the files in the Prefab folder to the prefab folder of the Orange Box version of Source SDK: ...\Steam\steamapps\your Steam account name\sourcesdk\bin\orangebox\bin\prefabs\Portal DOCUMENTATION HTML documentation for all prefabs.

T²
T Squared; very scary Hey all, decided to open up hammer for the first time one day and this is what I got. Constructive criticism is welcome, just don't bash me too hard 'cause it's my first map ever. I don't really know why I decided to call it T², I guess it's just what was on my mind (it's not even scary). Enjoy!
rtah020beta1
Short map featuring turrets on rotating platforms This is a beta version of the 2nd or 3rd map in what I hope will eventually be a series that I like to call "the Road to Android Hell." It gradually introduces players to the concept of mounting turrets on rotating platforms. This is my first uploaded map of any kind. Any feedback would be appreciated.

contest0108_Mage_ofOld_already_tested_chamber
Quick and easy This map is just about visuals so the puzzles are not very challenging.
contest_108 wrips apreture unknown
A short but fun three level map This map includes threes levels that have from basic to expert portal uses' and puzzle solving. I am certain that you will find this very fun.
Aldez's Test Chamber (contest 0108 version)
My first complete bonus map. This is my first map for Portal. The aim was to learn and include everything you can see and do in the official bonus maps. bmz file bsp with embedded custom files portal, time and steps challenges
Contest0108_Nameless_SimpleChamber
Short chamber, quality over quantity! This map is very short, I hope its length doesn.t cause any conflict with the contest. Its my first completed map in hammer and my 4th attempted map. I tried to make it as detailed as I could but I began near the end of January and I'm still learning a lot, so I hope you like it and any constructive criticism will be appreciated!

Portal map :P Great Portal map with Nice lighting and 3 Fun challenges for any player to do.
Thinking Outside the Cube
Challenging puzzles. . .new physics Surely, you do not like semi-challenging puzzles? Or flinging? Areas with new physics behavior that changes your Portal strategies? Of course not; nobody does! Terrible stuff. But if you wanted to waste your time on such things. . . . . .then try "Thinking outside the Cube". - 3 areas, 13+ challenges. (have about 18 challenges planned) - above-average difficulty (too early in development to state "very challenging", but be warned) - introducing new physics behavior (at least I havent seen it in a Portal map yet) (NOT gravity-related) - new GLADOS voices/commentary (I got tired of reusing the old stuff) - occasional music by The Hamster Alliance to set the mood. :) - first in a series BetaVersion2 ========= - Demos for all areas now present - Much more signage to help people navigate area1's open room; make sure to look for descriptive scrawlings to tell you where to go, what to do, etc. - Move a few walls, eliminated at least 6 ways to avoid doing the intended puzzles (man, you playtesters are inventive!) IMPORTANT NOTE: this map will fall flat on its face if you do not put the REQUIRED surfaceproperties scripts into your portal/portal/scripts directory. (They are in the ZIP). Sadly, I can bundle everything else into the map itself, but for some reason it refuses to use the surfaceproperties files that are bundled within the bsp. Only the Hammer deity (Thor?) knows why. . .but if someone could tell me how to do this, I would appreciate it.
