Portal 2 (Work in progress)
Early builds, betas, and in-development Portal 2 map projects.
CG's Companion Cube Rescue Mission
Deep within an old, overgrown Aperture test chamber are six companion cubes, each trapped behind its own puzzle. Your mission is to rescue these cubes and take them to the SCANNER in the hub and place them in the big round vent. You can scan any item you are able to pick up, but only the companion cubes will advance you. Try scanning each. Non linear rooms, can be solved in any order. NO AUTOSAVES YET!! REMEMBER TO QUICKSAVE BEFORE EACH AREA!! Once you have rescued 5 of the 6 cubes the exit door will open. I currently do not require all 6, I figured if one of them gives you too much trouble you can skip it. Area 6 is sort of optional, I was thinking of adding some more layers to the puzzle with that laser relay (currently unused) to make area 6 super hard, but make it an acheivement to get all 6. However I could just leave it at the sort of medium-low difficulty it is right now, and have it there in case players can't solve any of areas 1 through 5. Feedback appreciated! There is a secret hidden ratman's den in ONE of the test chambers (where there are chairs to scan) See if you can find it! Area 6 is not quite finished, I am going to make it more complicatesd, and yes in this version it is possible to cheat and get the cube by stacking other cubes. NOTE: it IS possible to get stuck inside some of the chambers after you get the companion cube. I cant really find a way around this, all I can say is when you take the companion cube out of its puzzle test chamber, DONT throw it out. Replays greatly appreciated!
Currently Untitled
Currently Untitled, a map in the old decaying aperture style, with the following features: * overgrowth! and water! * laser-burning-turret madness. * cubes, a sphere, a funnel, and a light-bridge. * HDR lighting * Relaxation vault for when it all gets a bit much. See here for screenshots: http://steamcommunity.com/id/RufusThorne/screenshots/ I'm looking for some help with optimisation: The map is fully sealed, but suffers some jerkiness. Please take a look at the included VMF and let me know if there's anything I can do in terms of HINT brush placement, etc. Also any things that need changing. Item placement, number of cubes, etc. I'm also looking for fellow mappers to 'dirty up' the environment. Suggestions for fog, particle effects, etc as well as some basic help on these topics would be appreciated. Thank you
acces unlimited
This mappack is very unique because it isnt a single map with a single storyline but it is a hub.Place from where you can visit other chambers and maps. The Acces Unlimited offers you a lot of hours of fun with your friends. You can visit the Turret Manufactory, The Maze and other places. When you bored with this you can just simple leave the hub and enter whole unexplored world of Apereture Science. From here you can visit experimental and special rooms like Universal Room. Finaly, it is the time to think out of the box. (Note:This isnt a playground!). The puzzles have everything what they need.All favorite elements are included. Vacuum cleaner too. If you want to see the gameplay look onto this video which i made with my friend. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-pVI-2VDL8 (friend is talking) Here are some pictures of maps: faces of room0 http://dl.dropbox.com/u/34706273/acces% ... 0room0.jpg faces or room1 http://dl.dropbox.com/u/34706273/acces% ... 0room1.jpg faces of room2 http://dl.dropbox.com/u/34706273/acces% ... 0room2.jpg faces of room3 http://dl.dropbox.com/u/34706273/acces% ... 0room3.jpg no quick moves http://dl.dropbox.com/u/34706273/acces% ... 0moves.jpg choose a chamber http://dl.dropbox.com/u/34706273/acces% ... hamber.jpg hall of dead turrets http://dl.dropbox.com/u/34706273/acces% ... urrets.jpg Please note that this project is still under heavy development,and the hub is just a box it will get desing like the real hub. Not the same but similar. And of course new experimental maps are on the way too. If you are interested you can see more of this map on this page: http://www.moddb.com/addons/acces-unlimited I d like you see your comments or your ideas how to make the map better. And if you found a glitch or bug report it please into comments.(Note: The manufacturing level ends when you open the sealed doors,if you go further you wont be able solve the puzzles because they are unsolvable.) If someone who is interested in portal 2 mapping and would like to help this project, please write it to comments or e-mail me. i realy could use a help with transitions. Installation: The rar folder contains 3 maps. Put them all to your portal2/portal2/maps folder Transitions(traveling betwen maps) in the maps arent functional (yet). So you have to change levels manualy by console. (Note: you can do this by opening console and write: changelevel "name of the map") When you enter the real Hub open a console and enter: changelevel mp_coop_acces_unlimited.bsp And thats it. Thank you for reading and enjoy.
Interception
Medium-difficulty puzzle in two chambers, with funnel, laser, and light bridge. I would like to get feedback on any shortcut or exploit that bypasses the intended solution. Thanks.
My Playground
This is my first map made in hammer. i'm still editing and stuff, so enjoy what i have also give me suggestions and (CONSTRUCTIVE) feedback/criticism. thanx EDIT: reuploaded as a zip file.
Multiboxing
Wheatly found the lost files of the World of Warcraft Forums. Where he found complains about Multiboxers and developped his own Interpretation of this.
[COOP] Faith Bridge
I started with the goal of making a short, self-contained but complex map. I ended up with this. Probably in the medium difficulty range. Contains faith plates, light-bridge, buttons, panels, and cooperation! It doesn't require any difficult maneuvers, just good old logic and coordinating together. As this is my first released project, any and all constructive criticism and comments will be appreciated. As such, it is still a work in progress. I still need to work on better lighting and details, and I can add some angle helpers if they are needed. Let me know if my texture choices are too unorthodox (or if they just look bad) and I will change them. Thanks for playing!

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.

[SP] 'Momentum' beta_3_9
Uploaded the 'final' version here: [SP] Momentum [SP] 'Momentum' beta_3_9 Fixed a stupid mistake which occured due to copy/pasting elements in Hammer editor without making sure that outputs aren't inherited to the "newly" created element. Each time the moving cleanser above the floor cube button dissolved a cube in version 3_8 a cube was spawned in the upper small chamber. That means depending on the amount of failed attempts you might encounter cubes where there should be none at all. Thanks for pointing that out. _________ [SP] 'Momentum' beta_3_8 So hopefully this version is not as broken as my first attempt (better not broken at all, but that?s wishful thinking I?m afraid) Haven?t removed the puzzle element which some of you might not like, others for sure will. I have tried to make the map as ?ninjaproof? as I could but who knows what you ?ninja guys? have in store for me?! I really hope it?s worth the download this time. Feel free to post your comments to the ongoing thread. I really appreciate all hints and criticism which might help me to improve this map. Known issues: - env_soundscape is audible beyond its range (could probably ?kill? the entity but haven?t done that) - ambient_generics are still a problem but work unless I don?t try to import chamber 2. This isn?t finished, yet, since I started to rebuild it almost from scratch. - reload after auto save causes ?bad model 14 error? from time to time (very rarely) (???) - getting stuck under panels is very clumsily ?solved? but works quite fine - else? You tell me? _____ Inspired especially by damagepy's maps I started mapping almost four weeks ago. Well, this is my debut map introducing one puzzle element that I at least haven't seen, yet. It's about angle,timing and of course momentum Should appreciate it very much if I could have some feedback on this one. Have temporarily removed two other chambers for now because they caused too many problems. Will add them later on. Hope you like it.......and oh, there is no cake but a little surprise if you play it to the end........ Don't forget: do not rename the file (because of the cubemaps)!
