Awesome!

Oh Omnicoder, you've done it again.

Anyone?:
I can't load up the .bsp file. I tried in the developer console in Portal 1 and Portal 2 (single player). What am I doing wrong?

] map test_map_2
Portal 2: CModelLoader::Map_IsValid: No such map 'maps/test_map_2.bsp'
map load failed: test_map_2 not found or invalid
Portal 1: CModelLoader::Map_IsValid: Map 'maps/test_map_2.bsp' bsp version 21, expecting 20 map load failed: test_map_2 not found or invalid

Portal 1 won't work as its a Portal 2 map. As for Portal 2, you didn't put it in the right place.

Of course, wasn't thinking. In the right folder it works, thanks....

where would i put this file and how would i open it?

You have to put it in C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\portal 2\portal2\maps.
Then you have to open ingame with the console; just type in "map MAPNAME".

I have a question too: This map contains a funnel. Is the funnel-entity also in your FGD?
And how can you create co-op maps?

Funnels are in the fgd, the entity is referred to as a tractor beam. And I haven't added coop entities because there are so many without any documentation. I can add basic versions to it over the weekend.

This is pretty amazing, considering you made this before any tools used to create maps were released. This is a bit off topic, but I was wondering if you could make a basic room with all of the correct cooperative entities in place. If you want a good template for the room, you could refer to the video below. I think that room in the beginning of the video is a good template.

Ok, stupid question... but is this an actual map? Or just a room with some objects for testing purposes?

Sorry for posting here, just a question:
I cant log in with my damagepy accountname, always asks that captcha and I dont know trhe answer (isn't pluto?)
So I created another acc, this one, but maybe Im a noob but cant find any new topic button

update: I tried to start a topic here, thats why I couldnt find it. Then I start one at mapping, since I dont have anything to upload, just got some question.
update2: I just experimentin with testmaps, I can still upload it? My other topic is locked so I guess I have no choice, but then I fix it and add 1-2 more fast challenge first so those who want to play some minute can find that useful too.

You can start a topic with the button in the top left that says "new topic" in red. You cannot start a new topic in community releases. If you want to start a new topicin community releases, upload a relavant file to the database with some info and it will make a thread for you.

I also have this same apparently stupid question lol.

It's just that room. You can sv_cheats 1 and noclip around to see that there is nothing more.

This was made pre-SDK that means he was just testing the elements (laser & funnel) here. Nothing to play.
