Portal 2 (Work in progress)
Early builds, betas, and in-development Portal 2 map projects.
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.
PurpleHaze (SP)
Single Player map, deciding if I want to add another chamber, here or pop in an exit elevator with a new map loaded up. All I've done so far is add puzzle elements and a few pieces of ambience. I'm still working on decorations as well as adding some custom Glados speech.
The Test
A two-room map featuring a few different puzzle elements. This is, essentially version 0.3. I want to add more decorations, but I'm looking for feedback on what I've got so far. I intend to add more puzzle elements to the second puzzle room. I just wanted to get this out there to see if people think I'm on the right track. I've included both the bsp and the vmf. [Edit] I had used a hacked version of the arrival_departure_transition_ents which might have caused some problems. I've switched over to msleeper's version, which works much better, and is available here: Good Enough For Science (Instance Example + VMF) Added a few more puzzle elements, and switched to animerunt's transitions instance: arrival_departure_transition_ents O
Testing the Tests
The new release for this map
First Map
This is a map with two puzzles branching from a central hub room. Currently the first puzzle is functionally complete. The second puzzle is under construction.
Name in Progress
Previously titled "Gozer Bane," but the title isn't really appropriate anymore. I've redesigned a good size of the puzzle, simplified a few things, and added indicator lights. I'm thinking about submitting this for the mapping competition. But I'd love some feedback first, so play and tell me what you think. Also any ideas for the name would be appreciated.
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.
sp_confined
Updated, closer to final version of sp_amw... This is a 1 room map, and your job is to get out. Hopefully there are some elements not seen in most other maps. I used vpk, so hopefully the custom script made it in there, otherwise, I'm not sure if the map will be able to be completed.
Chronus - Coop Series Test Chamber 1 v2.0
My first publicly released map. This one is all about working together, timing, and using the excursion funnel. Difficulty: Intermediate Changes for V2 +Added some extra info_placement_helpers to guide portals. +Coop exit door should now function properly...it opens! +Blocked off the cube dropper to prevent cubes from being grabbed mid-air. +Moved exit panel so crouch-jumping could not land you in the exit alcove. +Reworked the three emaciation fields to prevent exploits +Cleaned up some textures. +Cleaned up some instances.
