Portal 2
Portals on Panels, Issue Clarification
I'm having an issue where portals placed on my rotating panels will only be oriented one specific way relative to the prop_dynamic (panel) inside of them. Here is a big, simple version of the problem I'm facing.
Co-op tube ride sequence
This is an instance that when triggered causes a sequence in which Blue, Orange or both go flying through a set of vents, like the one that leads to and from the 'DLC room' in the hub. To activate it you need a trigger_playerteam that will tell the instance what sequence to start (Blue/Orange; Long/Short) and to enable/disable the trigger_teleports. You should also place two trigger_teleports - one for Orange and one for Blue. these should be enabled when the corresponding bot arrives and disabled when he leave's the trigger_playerteam brush. There are four alternate remote destinations for these brushes: @orange_tuberide_long_teleport_trigger @orange_tuberide_short_teleport_trigger @blue_tuberide_long_teleport_trigger @blue_tuberide_short_teleport_trigger You can also have up to four point_teleport entities, from these the player will re-appear in the map after the sequence: @orange_tuberide_long_teleport_trigger2 @orange_tuberide_short_teleport_trigger2 @blue_tuberide_long_teleport_trigger2 @blue_tuberide_short_teleport_trigger2 YOU MUST NAME THESE ENTITIES APPROPRIATELY, otherwise the instance won't work properly. Hope you'll make the best out of it, I'm sure I will.
A box of dimensions - Appetizer
This is a one of tha maps from my soon to be released "A box of dimensions" coop campaign. It was supposed to be the first part but because of some technical difficulties i isolated it into this. Update : forth and last version, all glitches fixed. (version 3 was completely broken) Its a 2 test chamber map with the second chamber being the highlight. it uses world portals and is particularly difficult.
Advanced Conveyor Belt (Portal2)
This is how Valve made proper conveyor belts in the game section 'turret manufacturing' It consists of eighteen func_tracktrains, with individually attached prop_dynamic belt sections which move the player and objects. VMF and BSP are included for you to examine and edit any way you see fit. Hopefully this will help to explain how it was done, and how you can do it for yourself
Aperture Aquatic Testing Center 2
Since a lot of people like the 1st Aquatic Map I made I decided to make a slightly harder map that's made up of a main chamber and two smaller chambers. Doors open without switches. To make things interesting, the player will start without a Portal Gun. But a Portal Gun can be found in the map somewhere. Have fun with this new challenge! There is a hidden room somewhere with something in it to take to the elevator.
Portal 1 Door Instance
Well, for anyone who wants a door like those from portal 1, HERE IT IS!!! It opens! It closes! It can be used to seperate areas without using the normal door and confusing idiots! NEW!!! Now it even sounds like a door!! Just chuck it in the map and send it an input, like any instance. Feel free to open it up and stuff round with it, I don't care. Oh and before you start whigning YES it is a portal 2 frame, the portal 1 frame doesnt have the correct skin. And quite frankly I couldnt be bothered getting it from the portal 1 files.
[SP] Momentum
update Momentum v_5 Fixed issues: - The gel doesn?t leak through the floor/ceiling (Thanks Mr. P. Kiwi!) - Removed that "hover in mid-air behaviour" from both lasers in room 1 (Thanks pedmacedo!) - Cube can?t be retrieved after increasing the counter anymore (Thanks Seizure22!) - Corrected the ?type mismatch? for the fizzler in room 2 (Thanks pfalstad!) ________ update Momentum v_4 Will add a detailed list of fixes later on... (Should fix all issues mentioned in the thread.) ________ [SP] Momentum v_3 First of all I?d like to thank all of you who have contributed to the WIP thread and to Demonz312 for his ramp instance (which you can find here: panel Stairs+instances). Very special thanks to NuclearDuckie and josepezdj who have not only playtested this map but also made many suggestions to solve several issues and had great ideas for improving some puzzle elements. As a first map this was quite ambitious and I should have started with a smaller one. However, despite the fact that it took way too long, it was fun making it and learning Hammer. As I?ve written in the WIP thread especially the first puzzle element is about angle, timing and of course ?Momentum?. It also has two new custom elements. An anti-player and an anti-cube laser field. The first denies the player but allows the cube whereas the second one works the other way around. At first I used env_lasers to make those laser fields but then found a better, less expensive way using func_brushes with ?abused? textures. Hope you like it... __________ Screenshots: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/7656 ... reenshots/ __________ Please do not rename the bsp-file, else you would have to rebuild the cubemaps properly which would cause an increase in file size, thank you! I made this with the first custom maps I downloaded and wondered at some ugly reflections __________ Known issues: - One of the brush entities is ceiling and floor at the same time with a gel dropper above. The gel can be seen (leaking) through it (any ideas???). - The cube in the first test chamber might get stuck under a panel. I was only able to solve this problem rather clumsily but it should work. - Due to the random nature of func_physboxes in motion, you might get stuck when moving among them and rigid elements. This only happened once to me, yet I thought I should mention it. - There?re also parts in this map which require to crouch and move through small openings; I can assure you that I adhered to the minimum measures for height and width, however josepez told me of some problems which might occur due to a corrupt dll-file. In that case you should check that first. - I liked a custom env_laser element I made much better with end sparks but they were visible through other func_details and walls (again, any ideas?).

sp_BetaTestMap1P2Vasek.bsp
Hello everybody, I'm a french mapper and I present to you my first single player portal2 map. It is another beta version, the puzzle will not change in time, only about graphic improvements will be brought. Enjoy ^^
sp_Birefringence
This is a medium difficulty map containing two puzzles which focus on catapults, excursion funnels and lasers. Notes: Revision notes: Rev A.- initial release Rev B.- Removed portable surfaces in 3 areas - Organized logic entitie I/O's Rev C.- Added barrier on vertical laser - Removed ability to slide cubes over emancipation grid - Fixed missing emancipation grid emitter - Added no-portal panels in 2nd puzzle - Hopefully, fixed the glitchy laserbeam when portaled on platform wall - Aligned and fit emancipation grid texture in 1st puzzle
(G) Fling_1
A map based on simple flings. I have not really worked on keeping the map clean, so if you decompile, your eyes WILL burn. We accept no responsibility for loss of eyes. ------------------------------ To do: Performance Optimisation Texturing (?) Fix any reported workarounds Cubemaps ------------------------------
