Saved by the cake beta 1.01
My first map, but I put lots of work into it. This is my first map I've ever made in Hammer, but I worked on it and tested it for a long, long time, so it should be good. I made the puzzles as fresh and creative as I could, so trust me, this map isn't a generic one. Remember, the game's not over until you reach an elevator. Changelist: Beta 1.01 - fixed an easily missable nodraw hole in the map, thank you nckomodo. Beta 1.1 - Changed the dialogue, made some of the solutions more evident, etc. Beta 2 - Changed too much stuff to put here.
Indicator Strip Example
Example file showing how indicator strips work. The example file that co-en sides with the article based on indicator on how to design working indicator strips for your map. Edit: Changed light strip overlays from having multiple overlays over a distance, to stretching the overlay across the distance, and editing U/V value accordingly.
Emprisonment
Proof of concept map this is the start of my companion cube level, its still a proof of concept, need still getting it to work what got me started on this was wanting to work more with triggers, relays all that crap. So I thought up something that would envolve tons and tons of them, in a very limited space... theres many many triggers and relays to be made... this is the first puzzle or 'game' of the map, you are given both a Companion cube and a companion sphere, right now the cube is hidden because it doesn't work yet. in the left corner, with the brightest light, are 2 raised brushes forming a small box, drop the sphere into it to start the game (im going to make it a button, or something later on, it just shows where the trigger is.) things to note: -the computer doesn't know how to play yet, you get to play yourself -there is no victory condition this map at this stage is mostly show and tell :P
-deep within aperture-
3 test chambers in 1 map this is deep within the aperture complex. the test's here aren't hard, you just need to think good before you do somthing. -made for the mappingcontest october 2007- maybe there will come more versions of these harder puzzels
