Portal 2 (Work in progress)
Early builds, betas, and in-development Portal 2 map projects.
CG_GelPuzles PRE FINAL release! Title needed!
Alright here's the third release and ninth incarnation of CrazyGuy's Untitled Gel Puzzles. Chapter 8, Three chambers centered around the physics paint, and using the gel in ways that the original valve maps did not. Difficulty medium to hard. in area 1, the way OUT of the top to the next area is just above the three panels that fall down; you must bounce out. This is not a spoiler, I intend to have Wheately lines to hint at it. I have ADDED the much anticipated transition sequence between areas 2 and 3. I really want some Wheately lines to go with it, but for now just rememeber AFTER COMPLETING AREA 2 LOOK UP AND OUT. Also, a strange bug but for some reason the window on the top of the third chamber does not always open. If that happens for you, part of the exterior of area 3 is meant to see into the interior after the sequence ends, but sometimes that portal closes off for no aparrent reason. I KNOW THERE ARE FRAMERATE ISSUES IN THE TOP OF THE FIRST CHAMBER. I'm sorry about this but I've already done as much optimization as I can for that area. If anyone has the time they could look at the included .vmf and see if they have any suggestions. Please let me know what you think, and especially if any cheat solutions can be found. If you get stuck on area 3, [spoiler]did you know that painting the UNDERSIDE of a lightbridge paints BOTH sides? yes, the blue paint does bleed through lightbridges.[/spoiler]
WIP: cg5_01 "Gel+Bridge=Win"
My first map for any Source game. 3 chambers centered on combining two specific puzzle elements (I wonder which two those might be?). Map is pretty WIP; there is almost no detail, although the puzzles are fully functional. I think the last puzzle might be too hard. There are also 4 "pseudo-achievements" which can be found by completing rooms without using certain puzzle elements.
CompanionCubeTeleporter
Proof of my idea that a Gravity Room can be made. I made a room, copied and rotated it. Then placed several prop_portal and made the Cube(s) activate the portals. There are Two Treats. One: There is a Cube placed where a Portal Opens; First time a Cube is picked up it comes flying in, so watch out. Two: I placed the first Cube to make the player fall into the portal automatically. Then, when testing, I had to make some more cubes. I hope this spawns some interesting maps. In the vmf, file you can see I used 6 portals, in 3 pairs. I covered all the Portal-able areas with prop_portal and activate and deactivate all of them. This eliminates the players own portals, and other imaginary issues (including the prop_portal Active issue). (This release, is to encurage Gravity Room Development)
Enrichment Sphere, 1952
A blue and orange gel map with two sections. Screenshot coming soon. The second in a series of eight maps. Each one packed with detail, minimum 100 hours in Hammer.
the_surprise_test_chamber
I have been working on this map in my free time since school ended. It features Discouragement Lasers an incinerator and and excursion funnel. Please tell me if anything needs to be fixed or added, Thanks!
sp_split_bean
My first real map after five days of working with hammer. I'm sure there are plenty of problems, mostly with textures, but the logic works fine I think. It is only one chamber with a moderately annoying/difficult puzzle. Thanks for all the advice from everyone who played it. I fixed the chamber so that it is no longer incredibly easy. I did not update any of the textures or lighting further because I'm not planning on really finishing this one. I just wanted it playable. Please play it again if you already did before I updated!
[WIP] sp_enrichment_4
This is an early build of my fourth map. It features a faithplate and buttons. Putting a cube on a button changes the direction of the faithplate. There's still a lot to do: * Add elevators (left out for now, easier to test) * Add indicator lights so it's clear the faithplate is set. * Add the third (and final) part of the puzzle. For now: you're finished if you placed the cube on the button pointing to the left. Feedback is very much appreciated, video playthroughs even more ! ~Lp

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
