Portal 2
[SP] Monoportal
Monoportal is a single-player level that revolves around combining more advanced test elements with the Single Portal Device. Monoportal consists of 8 chambers spread across 3 maps which, if I met my goal, begin quite easy and grow more difficult and complex as you progress. Part One: sp_monoportal1.bsp: Intro, Lasers, Light bridge Part Two: sp_monoportal2.bsp: Faith plate, Speed and bounce gels Part Three: sp_monoportal3.bsp: Turrets, Excursion funnel, Finale Federal regulations require me to thank you for playing, and to hope that you enjoy your experience!

V3.95 10/02/11 Thanks for the 1500 downloads! I finally decided to block one slightly unintended solution. I added placement helpers that should give the bounce gel a 100% success rate (if you're doing it right). V3.9 Some final tweaks for now. V3.8 - Yet more and brighter lighting in gel and funnel room, as per viewer suggestion. Safeguarded against possibility of a portal dissappearing. 9/14/11 V3.5 - Tweaked some things, mainly regarding exploits in the final chamber. V3 - significant lighting improvements in chambers 4 and 7. v2.6 - Fine-tuned previous changes made to sp_monoportal3 including turrets and functionality (fixed a few placement helpers) v2 - Fixed exploit of being able to bypass faith plate, made minor visual tweaks, fixed various other errors 9/6/11 v1 - Original 9/5/11

[BETA 4] A very Aperture adventure
I loved the bts exploration of Portal2, and I wanted to re-imagine and expand upon the 1970s sections, so here's what I've been working on for the last six months: Screenshots here (dated September 04): http://steamcommunity.com/id/RufusThorne/screenshots/ Map 3 in a series, featuring (soon) a daring escape from the test track, some great open exploration of my idea of a 1970s themed bts area. This is more an aesthetic excercise than a playable map with puzzles, but it has an entrance and an exit all the same. Hopefully I will find a way to incorporate some puzzles in the next beta. Please take time to explore (nearly ALL DOORS will open!!) and you'll know when you get to the exit, because the door closes behind you (it's up top) There's a current issue with missing brushes depending on look-angle (fog_controller issue I'm still sorting out) and some areas are overly bright or overly dark. Again, I'm working on this. Once again, please check the screenshots, explore the map, and I'm eagerly awaiting your comments in the discussion thread. *** NEW IN BETA 4 FIXED: Missing reception floor area (thanks tehkasl) FIXED: Replaced some trigger_once doors with trigger_multiple Removed some vitrified doors, replaced with better ones. Large amounts of detail work, reworking of some areas Very large area has been made larger (!) Visibility optimisation Tweaked fog controller *** NEW IN BETA 3 FIXED: Non-Solid railings Tweaked fog controller some more Completely new start area Fire! and moving things! Liberally added Areaportals and HINT brushes *** NEW IN BETA 2 FIXED: Dissappearing wall bug Tweaked fog controller (still needs more tweaking)

This is an easy/medium map consisting of one chamber plus a little extra for fun. This is my first map since the golden age of Doom, yes I'm that old! If I were to start it again I would certainly do things differently, having learnt a lot along the way.(Xdiesp be gentle). Nevertheless, I hope you enjoy playing it. Thanks to everyone on this site, without whom this would have not been possible. V1.1 - Whoops I forgot to buildcubemaps. 'Hangs head in shame' V1.2 - Fixed unintended solution V1.3 - Updated texture alignments & minor tweaks V1.4 - Further tweaks & boundaries added to avoid allowing the player to stray off the map
Chander Test 3.2
This is my third card. Please leave your comments. Waiting for an objective critic. Version 2
Propulsion Panel
Hey! So this is my second map, and I really dont want to work on this map any more. Its good, I assure you, with Puzzles featuring DIversity Vents and Propulsion Gel, this map is not a bad one. It is, however, a little rough around the edges, so in the comments please tell me how i can improve this map later. Set during clean aperture this map consists of two test chambers.
[SP] No Companion Cube For You
WARNING: Do not download this map if you don't want to suffer. Watching companion cubes go is very difficult, I know. GLaDOS this time will make you suffer, she won't let you touch a companion Cube, or can you be fast enough to pick up one? Difficulty: Easy. That's my first map, leave a comment! Thanks.

Uselessness
An Easy-Medium one room puzzle featuring the all knowing Core 3 and his hilariously inaccurate facts.
Headache
Small map, Very hard difficulty: enjoy Version 2: Fixed the exploit in which players could ninja onto the windows. Version 3: Added lasers, and an extra beam with linked button to guide players to the intended solution, and block an overly-easy solution. Version 5: Narrowed down the portal surfaces so there would be less confusion as to where to start working towards the solution. More elegant fixes to the exploits as opposed to putting walls up everywhere, and some targets to help where aiming is critical, and avoid players having to redo a sequence because of mistakes. Version 6: coming tomorrow- expanding a certain portion of the map to give a more generous timeframe where time is critical, and to give players more time to explore possible options. As of now, version 6 is released! Alot of changes to the layout. Performing the solution is now much easier, however, finding out the solution is still just as difficult. That's the goal- to make a puzzle that challenges the mind, not the reflexes. Version 7: Fixed another (very clever) exploit. The button now has a second preventative function. I did this as opposed to opting to make the lasers deadly, which would have also fixed the problem. I want to prevent exploits, but not make it frustrating. If making the lasers deadly would be preferable to adding the portal-blocker to the button, let me know. I decided it some complication added would be better than getting the player killed and having them start over after trying a certain solution. Let me know what you think. As of 9/6/11. I may have finished updating/polishing this map- ready to move on: I see downloads are still going up, and rating has been between 4 and 5- and so far, no reported exploits or issues. I'm going to take this all as a good sign, considering at version 4, the rating was 3 out of 5, and I had less than 100 downloads. Version 9! I fixed a final exploit with another laser (and playerclip, so the laser needn't be deadly). Added the indicator lights to avoid confusion over the function of a button as well version 10 Fixed a mistake with update 9, which didn't fully fix the exploit. Now I got it! Version 11: Finally- exploits fixed, some minor aesthetic additions and indicative signs for guidance. Not as extensive a facelift as I wanted to give the map- but some odd game crashes are making it slow to test out changes. Should be very playable, but still quite difficult. Enjoy!

[SP] Beginning of the End

Here's a couple screenshots (sorry for the large file size) README: Extract and place the .vpk in your portal 2/portal2/addons/ folder. You may have to create the "addons" folder. Run Portal2 and type "map sp_tictac_01" in your console. http://u.cubeupload.com/dvlstx/2011082600001.jpg http://u.cubeupload.com/dvlstx/2011082600002.jpg UPDATED: Added playerclips, fixed exit areaportal.
