Zhan's Hard Light Bridge chambers

A Portal 2 work in progress single player test chamber focusing on hard light bridges and the different ways they can be used. I currently have four test chambers done, and my current plan is to make sure these four are fun and play well, and then detail them and clean them up for submission to the Summer Mapping Initiative contest. Enjoy! A zip download is here, if you can't open .7z files: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18787920/portal ... _chmb1.zip

Time Travel: Part Two

This is a continuation of my previous map.The first chamber is pretty much done. THE DOOR ON THE LEDGE IS THE END, FOR NOW. refrain from voting until finished if you would plase Rules of timetravel (In this map) 1. Portals do not persist through time 2. Objects can be brought back from the future, when placed in the immediate lit up zone 3. Objects cannot be taken to the future 4. Objects will persist through time, what is there in the past will be there in the future (For now, only in certain places that is goal-related as it's an butthole to code) Any suggestions or input, wel anything at all really is appreciated

TestChamber_01_and_02

Hmm

The beginning of my first map. I started using Hammer this week, and this is what I got so far. No hard feelings.

A map designed to make you think. This is not a series of chambers, but a large interconnected puzzle that requires exploration and problem-solving. It's meant to be solved over time and not intended to be burned through in one sitting. The most important thing to focus on is that the intended solution is not tedious. While the map does have several solutions, some are more tedious than others, and if you find yourself repeating a multiple times to "get it right" (or are becoming frustrated), then most likely it'll be best to take a step back and reconsider the strategy. A walkthrough for version 1.1.1 is available here (best to view if stuck or to compare with your solution): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBUwK4-qfLc Notes: - It is possible to do things that make the puzzle unsolvable. Usually you will realize problem relatively quickly. Autosaves are placed in such a way as to help minimize getting stuck. - Both .bsp and .vmf are included in all versions. Want to see how I made the enable/disable/reverse tractor beam? Go right ahead. Changelog: v. 1.3.2 - Added elevators & pit lasers. v. 1.3.1 - Many cosmetic and convenience additions. v. 1.3.0 - Changed the puzzle a little. Fizzlers now work as normal, fizzling boxes too! Added about 2 or 3 additional non-trivial solutions. Added some lighting. Added some small changes to increase intuitiveness. Cleaned up many extraneous entities. Lots of small bug fixes. v. 1.2.1 - Added textures to make it prettier. v. 1.2.0 - Reduced need to resolve elements. Fixed solutions broken in 1.1.2. Added autosaves. Added additional non-trivial solutions. v. 1.1.2 - Pits now kill the player. Added lighting to make traps more obvious. Finished all indicators. v. 1.1.1 - Aesthetic changes to increase map intuitiveness. v. 1.1.0 - Fixed several exploits. Fixed ending room. v. 1.0.0 - Initial release.

Co-op: Gel Escape

My first ever portal 2 map, it's a short co-op map set in the destroyed aperture science testing area. It's still a work in progress and some textures might not be aligned right, and some light might be iffy, but I have tried to not make it look like crap, so I hope it's alright. I think the puzzle is about medium difficulty, hopefully it won't be too hard, or too easy. I would really like feedback about the map, as it will help me become a better mapper. v 2.0 changes A new puzzle added to increase difficulty and length Screenshots: http://steamcommunity.com/id/sniperHead ... 800891170/? http://steamcommunity.com/id/sniperHead ... 800892348/? http://steamcommunity.com/id/sniperHead ... 800891821/? v 2.0 http://steamcommunity.com/id/sniperHead ... tab=public

ap_chamber1

My first portal 2 map. 2 puzzles: -first involves world portals and flinging -second involves a cube and a faith plate This is just for testing some of the new features and to see what the differences are from portal 1 mapping. To update: -Lighting needs to be improved everywhere, a lot. -refining texture placement -first puzzle is cramped, so i'll increase the size.

One Medium-hard Puzzle. Cool Map-Design. More Puzzles coming soon! 1.04: slightly altered puzzle solution.

[Portal 2 ] Kl Test Map 1/4 [SP]

This is my first Portal 2 map. It's basic and small. Nothing hard, I guess... (this have laser and wall projector) This is a beta realease. (any glitches please let me know) Probably I will do a coop map soon, if this is possible. Note: If you do something difficult, you may bring a surprise. // Version 2.0 (minimal changes) - Some texture correction (not all, i'm a newbie mapper xD) - Testing vine's prop_static in a room of the map. - Delete the "irreal" way to solve the final part of the puzzle.
