Kvalheim's Singleplayer: 01
Release version of the WIP uploaded the other day. Now has music, GLaDOS voices, active turrets, fixed vertex textures and implemented moving panels. Moved the button, but still fairly easy difficulty.
Portal 2 Timers example
=================== Portal 2 timer examples =================== This is just an example map that includes the basics of 2 working timers (a countdown and a countup) that uses custom materials (numbers). The intention is to show the required entities and their inputs/outputs to understand the logic behind a timer made in the hammer editor. Also this method allows you the posibility to use your own custom typo/numbers to fit your map's aesthetics... For this example I used the typo "DIN Next LT Pro Condensed", because I think it's pretty much similar to the typo used by Valve for the signage lightboard; so if you are too lazy to make your own material and want to use it in a normal Portal2 map, it'll look good. So the purpose for this could be considered as merely didactic The basic idea under this method is to make an overlay with 10 frames (the ten numbers, from 0-9) and go changing its textureindex with the entity "env_texturetoggle". HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN CUSTOM NUMBERS ---------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Open an image editor of your choice, take the font that you like and make 10 separate images, one per number (from 0 to 9), and REMEMBER to always give the image a size which values are a power of 2 (like 128x256 that I gave in this case). I prefer making .png files... you can do .tga as well... Whatever format that allows you recording an alpha channel (transparency) because this way, our numbers overlays would be stickable on whatever texture 2. Name each of them with a name followed by a suffix like "_0", "_1", "_2", and so on... Obviously, try to make that suffix coincides with the number into the image... lol. 3. Now open VTFEdit (http://nemesis.thewavelength.net/index.php?c=178) and go to File > Import. Now select at the same time (holding Ctrl or Shift keys down) all the ten image files. Do not resize the images. You can check into the "info" tab how the file contains 10 frames (each of them is a different number). I also made a cutie dots (":") to separate the seconds from the minutes and make them flicker: for this you need to make 2 textures, one with the dots and other completely empty but with the same size, then do the same as for the numbers, import them with VTFEdit selecting both at the same time. 4. Then save this file as .vtf into your "materials" folder (you can create whatever folder of your choice into /materials of course) giving it a whatever name. 5. Now you should create the .vmt file for the above .vtf file. Both names must be the same, only their extensions change... In this example, my .vmt file contains the following: UnlitGeneric { $baseTexture "josepezdj/numbers/black_numbers" $surfaceprop glass $translucent 1 "%keywords" portal $decal 1 Proxies { ToggleTexture { toggleTextureVar $baseTexture toggleTextureFrameNumVar $frame toggleTextureShouldWrap 0 } } } You can simply copy all that only replacing the path "josepezdj/numbers/black_numbers" by the one where your .vtf file is located and the name of your file. I guess it's clear. However, do not hesitate to ask whatever question or doubt Once created your custom texture for the ten numbers, check inside the attached .vmf in your hammer editor to see how you can set the timers up easily. Read the Readme.txt file for instructions info. A further post with an explanation in detail about how the timer system works is in the topic of this download, for those who doesn't really extract much info from the vmf file... josepezdj
DARKCHAMBER
I'm making a Map called Darkchamber where 5 gigachambers are together and you need to use the things of one in other and viceversa. So, Now I have only the initial spawn and the first full room. Good luck, any bug, tip or help will be welcome. Screenshots: http://puu.sh/4CvF http://puu.sh/4CvG http://puu.sh/4CvH
Cube Dropper Example
The first thing i made in hammer, i started using hammer about 2 weeks ago and wanted to do something. This is my version of a cube dropper without instances, i combined the tutorial of portal cube droppers and some of my ideas for outputs. You can get a cube by pressing the button and then you can destroy it and get another one by pressing the button again or throwing the cube into the toxic slime. Pls give some feedback and rate. And remember, when life gives you lemons, burn someones house down.
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.
PORTAL IS AMAZING MY NEW MAP!!!!!
PLAY MY MAP AND RATE!!!
Frames prefabs
This file contains two prefabs: one for a doorframe, one for a funnel frame. To use these, place them in steam/steamapps/common/portal 2/bin/Prefabs. In hammer, click the entity tool and then select prefabs, and choose the one you want to use.
Scene Voice Script Package
These are a number of files which you can use to play Valve's scene files for voice lines. You can create your own custom order for the scenes like the way Valve has done it. This example mainly covers coop GLaDOS. If you really want to use a custom scene this is the only way to do it if the Scene Table is personalised for a certain map. I highly suggest you don't go all out unless you are making a mod or a larger map-pack. Check out: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Portal_2_VCDs for references of each scene.
