Portal 2 (Work in progress)
Early builds, betas, and in-development Portal 2 map projects.
Shootout
I'm working on a Wheatley map with 3-4 chambers, and I just want this first one to go through a playability test. Please mention ANY comments/suggestions/concerns that might help improve the map. I want this good and ready when it's released.
Split Co_OP
This is my Second map that I have created and I figured I should post in the WIP forum before I post into the released forum. I would like comments on what I should change to make my map better. Play instructions: Unzip the map from the archive and place in your Steam/steamapps/common/portal 2/portal2/maps folder. Both players have to downloaded the map. Start a normal co-op game and whoever is hosting (the Blue Robot) type in "changelevel mp_coop_split" in the console (which is activated by the ` key under ESC. Updated some more textures and fixed an unintended way to solve the puzzle. Just figured out how to use moveable panels, and I added some. Added lots more movable panels. Added some sounds, fixed another unintended way to solve the puzzle, optimized it more, and changed more textures. *More looks changes. P.S. Please give input on what you like and dislike, so I can improve my map.
Currently Unnamed - Underground Theme [UPDATED V1.4]
(Updated to Version 1.4) I'm working on the first of a series of gel puzzles that I will eventually include as one package. This is a more progressed version of the first map. I still need to fix an overlay (the one near the first faith plate, if anyone can help with that), but it's almost done! Please give me feedback! P.S. - The textures have a little break in them on the emancipation grills in the larger room in chamber 2. Hopefully someone will know how to fix this if they check out the .vmf P.S.S. - I have also included my instances (Geodome and Custom Faith Plate)

Coop Opposite Linkage
Opposite linkage is a special mode for Portal 2 Cooperation game, in which players' portals are switched, i.e. ATLAS primary portal is connected to P-body's secondary, and vice versa. UPDATE: - changes in map: changed the behavior of the elevator (first laser catcher moves elevator up, when powered) added indicator lights and other details added the button accessible only by using noclip to test portal linkage switching - killing one bot, no longer triggers the delayed death of both, instead portals are destroyed and their linkage are switched to normal and then back to opposite during respawn (in a nutshell: when one of players screws up, all 4 portals are destroyed, but the second bot don't have to die) - switching linkage between normal and opposite will no longer change portal colors Known bugs: - switching linkage to opposite, when one of the bots is dead, screws up the portals linkage - at least three graphical glitches related to P-body's portals, only visible at second player site
Boss Battle
This is the very beginning of what I hope will be a great boss battle. 1.0 Currently, there is no way to win. As of this version, I'm only testing some of the ways I plan to kill the player.
Misplaced Conversion
I thought about it and realized that Conversion Gel and Excursion Funnels were never really used together in the single-player or co-op campaigns. I have taken a stab at fixing that. This is the first map I felt remotely comfortable about uploading in such an early state. It's a work-in-progress for my Summer Mapping Initiative map, so we'll see how it goes. I'd love to hear some constructive criticism; I know the map's not perfect (it's definitely not right now, still very early and cobbled together) but I think it could be a pretty neat little test chamber once it's all said and done. Modified arrival/departure transition vmf courtesy MSleeper, who has been super-helpful with all the scrubby questions I've had so far. v0.5 Update - - LOTS of retexturing/detailing. Texturing - Fairly far along. Getting there, but not perfect yet. Detailing - Making some good headway on this. It's starting to look the part of a Wheatley chamber. Lighting - Mostly natural lighting at this point. Might add some to the bottom region, but not sure. Props - Comin' along. There's some stuff to look at.
CG's Gel Puzzles BETA 2! now in .zip format
Special thanks to bsj0 and Dilbao for testing the previous version and sending comments and replays. Now all I need is a TITLE: I'm open to sugestions! I think i've fixed all the gameplay cheats and a few bugs, so I challenge you to find cheat solutions to these chambers. -many performance fixes including converting hidden surfaces to nodraw, turning off all the gel particles in previous areas after you go through the door to the next, many occluder brushes, and a bit of a change to area2 after you complete the final part. -changed area 3 so there are a lot less ways to cheat... added sprinklers =) Keep in mind I STILL HAVEN'T FINISHED THE TRANSITION SEQUENCE BETWEEN 2 AND 3! Just imagine that after you hit that button by the door, Wheately says some stuff to you, then the test chamber directly above you starts moving across, then it moves down into position where you see the door and those yellow panels and the landing with the numbers (that landing with the numbers will be replaced with a catwalk... around where 4 is) Like I said, all the gameplay elements are there, everything SHOULD work (although you may need to rebuild cubemaps) so see if you can find unintended solutions. I'm going to post a demo with he "correct" solutions soon link to thread for beta 1: post42625.html#p42625
[WIP SP] Basic Puzzles
First off, this is my first map. Now, before you click away, I assure you that this map is unlike almost every other first map. I put actual time and effort into making Basic Puzzles play well and look good. There are no gigarooms or terribly aligned textures. This map has rooms that fit the puzzles, great texturing, autosaves, and more. The goal of Basic Puzzles is for me to learn the ins and outs of Hammer. Every testing element will be used at least once. So far I have used: Flinging Light bridges Excursion Funnels Thermal Discouragment Beams At the moment, there is no exit elevator. This is because I will soon be adding more chambers, so it's pointless for me to make a new elevator after every update. Once the map is complete, I will add an exit elevator. Once you finish the 3rd chamber, the map is done. I would appreciate it if you would record your first playthrough so I can see where I can make improvements. Also, please rate this map what you think it deserves. Known Bugs: Texturing around doors is a bit wacky. Edges of glass lights are buggy.

VerticalChamber v1.00
This is my first Portal 2 map, much more of an experiment than a true map.
