Portal 2
Rookie Mistake
07/15/2012 Update: Whoa. So apparently, after all this time, instead of uploading "V2" of the map, I had just re-uploaded the V1 map again! Talk about rookie mistakes! I've just tried to upload the latest version (from Feb) again. Hopefully I got it right this time. Who knows... -------- As much fun as I had creating this map, and as great as I personally think it is, I have to admit that it's full of all kinds of "rookie mistakes"--things I'm sure many people do with their first Portal 2 maps that others look at and think, "Ha, newbie." With that in mind, here are some other names I was inclined to give to this map: - "Inigo Montoya" - "Look! BUTTONS!" - "All that, and LASERS to boot!" - "Convolution: Occam's Nightmare" - "Nice gel dispensers. [Sarcasm self-check: Complete]". - "Two test chambers taped together to look like one giant test chamber". The first one is a bit random and has nothing to do with the map itself. It's just the code name I gave to my map during creation: Chamber Inigo and Chamber Montoya. Hence the file name. Enjoy. -------- Three months later (!), I'm uploading a second version of the map, in which I try to address some of the rookie mistakes I made in version 1: * Chamber Inigo (First Chamber): Added extra machinery to try to prevent unwanted solutions. * Chamber Montoya (Second Chamber): Added extra machinery to try to prevent unwanted solutions. Also, I tweaked the expected solution in a couple of notable ways, after being inspired by Djinndrache's playthrough. * Overall: Improved the texturing based on the basic rules of texturing mentioned in posts. It's still far from perfect, but things look a lot better than they did before (I think?). For those who have not played the map yet, be sure to grab this latest version. For those who have already played, I think the look and feel of the map has changed enough that it's worth another playthrough. Especially if you solved the maps in unwanted ways the first time (that means you, Djinndrache Posted playthroughs, whether blind runs or speed runs or hey-look-another-rookie-bug runs, are much appreciated.

Chapter 1: The Escape
Welcome Test Subjects, This is my first map, all the details about my map are located in the readme file within the zip file. This is Chapter 1: The Escape, where for some reason, you are escaping, I made the map as I was going along, and I thought to make it into a series of events. You are trying to escape an unknown threat you are unaware of. The maps I make arn't meant for the people who need their hand held when doing something, I say this because, basically there are no hints. I don't believe in hints, there are some for simplicity sake, but you are escaping, why would the person you are escaping from, give you hints? If you are confused on what I mean by hints, I mean those blue indicators to tell you what has been activated. It wasn't because I was lazy, It was because I saw it as a challenge where you have to think. Good luck, and please read the readme file, I ask for a favor in there that could really benifit in the next few maps. Thanks [News Update]: I'm very excited to see that my map has gotten over 500 downloads in such little time. So with that being said, I will be continuing my progress in making more chapters to my 'Inside Mini Story'. Keep a look out for my new map coming out either December or January of 2012! I look foward to see what you guys think of my story of deception... [Last News Update]: As I mentioned before, I am very surprised to see so many people giving me a chance to show that I can offer something new to the Portal Community. This will be the last update for this forum, as I am nearing the completion of Chapter 2. I can't promise anything, but I should be done with this map within the weekend... depending on if any bugs occur. I would like to again thank you guys for choosing BlackBird Studios.
Cube Collector
Ok there are 4 test chambers in this map. You got cubes from each chamber to combine them in a laser puzzle and solve. This is easy and short to say but i die in this map a lot of time. I?m shure you have to think a moment how to get the cubes out of the chambers. No trick, cheat or secrets to find, just logic thinking... a lot of logic thinking. But don?t be silly by thinking, because you have to jump with faith plates and beams or use lightwalls and using paints, so you have to do many things^^. One thing i?m sorry. Once The cube in test chamber 3 stopped as i play because of some wired places (corners). I think it could happen in your gaming, but just reset the cube, it?s easy. And please write....
Cube Collector v 0.2
2mapstart = Cube collector ( I change the name ) Well, try this level. I think it has a long play and its challenging... i write it wrong ? ... how ever. It makes fun and gives a good feeling after solving. For me, I need a feed back detailed ^^ by the way, a walkthrough is more important for me because of understanding. I like to watch however long the video is v 0.1 arial faith plate fixed in chamber 1
Falling Laboratory Monitor
An instance for a lab monitor that sparks and falls of a wall when a portal is placed behind it, like the security cameras do. Just chuck the instance in next to a portable wall, change the skin parameter and BAM instant success. Feel free to open it up and stuff with stuff if you want, doesnt worry me. Version Log: V1.1: Fixed rotation bug V1.2: Bug fixes
2mapstar updated
No Thubnail because i want to snap your most liked place in this map This level has a long playing area. There are 4 chambers with different smart ideas. This level has an ending, but i still want to make this map perfectly. I think this map is nearly competed, but want to know from you what i have to fix, what is wrong and what is good. changes - more autosaves created - the lasers in the long path deleted, but i put turrets... - nearly every chamber was changed a little to play in my itention - fizzler textures maked clearlier - beam and lightwall now playing after enabled whereever you are .sry sound of faithplates joggling the map. i don?t use them. even the paints joggle my gaming a little. or i need to sleep ^^ i have delete some lights in the walls and reduce the lights in all chambers sry guys i had to sleep, realy. i have spend more days in a row for this level without sleeping and now its time. Until you help me to wake up and continue fixing this map ^^ urr...pleas somebody make a walkthrough again. that is the best way i can see what is to do.thx and enjoy.

Beamchain
A small difficult puzzle for hardcore portal players. Note: As all my maps, this may require rather advanced techniques. v1.1: Removed an alternative solution.
