Portal 2
The Opening Hour
Now that GLADoS is gone, you are the only one who can still keep tests running for who knows what happens if they stop. ____ My first "big" project. The map is a mix of various Portal 2 map styles: factory, bts, chambers etc. Workshop page: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/f ... =380441134 Enjoy!
Wheatley's Fans Part 01
A short introduction to the... "Wheatley Science Industrial Turbo Pneumatic Fan" Please note that this is only a short introduction to how it works, and i will make more parts in the future, which will be harder
Marcem's Laserbox and Funnel
A pretty simple test chamber dealing with laserboxes and an excursion funnel. V2 fixes the elevator videos and makes the map end on the elevator. V3 fixes a few things, also expands the chamber, but not the puzzle. http://steamcommunity.com/id/marcem/scr ... tab=public
Cubes, buttons, funnels...it's got it all.
So... I actually haven't used Hammer all that much before. As in, I started using it on May 17th. Which means I'm pretty new to all of it. Which ALSO means that my test chambers are more on the Wheatley side, if you know what I mean.
Hammer Addons
Various modifications to the game's files to improve mapmaking in general. FGD Changes: - Skotty's FGD stuff (With some tweaks) - New icons for point_templates, point_server/clientcommands, point_teleport, etc - Credit to :The TF2 Ultimate Mapping Resource Pack, ZPS: Supplemental Hammer Icons and ts2do's HL2 FGDs for the various icons. - Fake keyvalues for turrets, cubes and funnels that let you choose the model that will be displayed in hammer. - Rendermode, EnableDraw/DisableDraw commands, Parenting properties etc added to many items if they can use them. - Custom editor model for prop_indicator_panel, making it easy to ensure perfect alignment and correct orientation for both modes. - Custom model for prop_portals and placement_helpers to show the orientation easier (arrow points upward) - More Auto Visgroups to categorise basically everything (test element only visgroup, antlines, buttons, instances visgroup, basically anything I could think of) Vscript changes: - Choose a random elevator video in unpublished maps (video_splitter.nut) - In unpublished maps, play a random Cave DLC2 quote. (dlc2_vo.nut) - Onscreen notification when the vote screen is triggered (voting_dialog.nut) - Script to change models to custom versions for prop_buttons, prop_weighted_cube (ts_model_change.nut) Models: (these are mostly reskins/recompiles of Valve models and originally made for PTI styles, but they could be useful for pure Hammer maps.) They're all in props_ingame/, excluding the underground companion cube which is in props_underground/. - [p1_button()] P1 button modified to work correctly with prop_buttons - [under_ccube()] Old Aperture Companion Cube (set the cube to the antique type) - [rusty_reflect()] Rusty reflection cube with correct gel skins (Use on a cube that was set to the clean variant) - [rusty_box()] Version of the normal cube with rusty skins in place of the normal one (Allows having a rusty cube show gel skins) - [p1_cube()] P1 Storage/Companion cube (with additional skins to match the P2 metal_box model) - [p1_ball()] P1 sphere (with gel skins) - P1-inspired laserfield emitter (Black exterior with red "lights") - Variations of the PeTI arm_4panel, arm_4panel_glass and arm_8panel models with the other arm64 skins (dirty, red lights, etc) To use the cubes or button, set "ts_change_model.nut" as the entity script and RunScriptCode the appropriate function. For the other models set as prop_dynamic. Instances: - A P1 pedestal button which uses the custom model as well as the more mechanical P1 tick-tock sound (tspen/p1_button). - A nodraw room to precache the custom cubes, and p1 pedestal button.
This Plate is Broken
The original release was too short, this update has added some interesting elements.
Bits or Pieces
A short map set in a Wheatley-ish style. It is a dormant test that the player has been shoved into just to make time. As such, things are a bit off and the lighting is fairly dim. You'll come across turrets, light bridges, excursion funnels, gels, and a diversity vent. The puzzles are straightforward and, if the player tries to, they can commit suicide in one spot in a couple ways. I hope you enjoy it. Side note: Here comes that feeling that I forgot something...
[SP] Test Map Pack 4
Here's another set of 7 chambers. These will probably play faster than my other ones. Hints are given where appropriate and the concepts should be pretty straightforward. Additionally, I had some people playtest the maps, so they should be more bugfree than my other maps. Thank you testers! Each chamber will lead to the next. All have elevators, but not all have videos (it didn't seem necessary). An interesting thought was to create small videos showing the intended solution at the end, but that would make the filesize quite a bit larger. Start the sequence with 'map testmap_31_b' This is a zip file with the maps and materials folders. Extract them to wherever you can get Portal 2 to recognize them. Maps: testmap_31_b - Vacuum Flange Corridor testmap_31 - Blown Away testmap_33_c - Touchy testmap_35 - One Way or the Other testmap_36 - Here a second ago testmap_38 - Push and Pull testmap_39 - Don't Look Back Release 1.0.1: Vacuum Flange Corridor: Added game_text instructions for the first flange Push and Pull: Added grates covering the first two portal surfaces to prevent skipping the second blob.

sp_schiller_01
My first released map and my entry for the Summer Mapping Initiative. It's not the hardest map, but it's about timing. Hope you enjoy!
Molybdenum
A singleplayer map taking place in the destroyed Aperture setting. Fairly challenging puzzle using light bridges, funnels, gels, boxes, lasers and turrets.
