Portal 2
Explosive Cube
WIP for experimental puzzle element; The Explosive Cube. The level included is a simple "tutorial" map, Intended to educate people as to how it works; Basically the cube explodes after a certain amount of time. In this map, It explodes after 15 seconds. The idea with this stemmed from the few "timed" puzzles in coop, In that i felt the idea wasn't really explored enough. The idea of an explosive cube gives rise to a lot of interesting possiblities in coop for puzzles. Haven't really started work on the other explosive box related puzzles yet, I wanted a bit of feedback first One or more textures on this map have been created with images from CGTextures.com. These images may not be redistributed by default. Please visit www.cgtextures.com for more information. UPDATE: In the case of those interested i am still working on this; Been busy with fairly important things recently, I am intending on doing about 4/5 maps using the cube, Possibly more but haven't really had time lately, Here's a quick screen of one of the maps WIP: Few screenshots:
Coop Bare Minimum
Basic, functional coop map with an entrance, basic middle room without puzzles, and the exit. Hope this helps!

There is a problem in Portal 2 with making prop_portal initially Active: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/s ... p=22416533 This example map shows how you can workaround that.
Ascendence
This is my first real mapping attempt, but it's a pretty ambitious project. Version history will explain what I'm demonstrating and what I'm looking for, as far as feedback and such go. v 1_1, uploaded 5-20-11 This is the entrance (which I know is lame and cheap, haven't worried myself over instances and elevators yet), the test situation introduction, and a way of clearing the chamber between "player delivery" and testing. There is no puzzle here yet, nor will there be until v 1_2 or 1_3. What I'm mostly showcasing is the trap door and the glass removal process. I'm looking for feedback on the entire process. Again, I know there's no puzzle here. It's just a big pit. That's why it's here in the WIP section. v1_1_3, uploaded 5-25-2011 Moderate change from last version, adding another element to the simple puzzle leading to the exit. See latest forum post for details.
[Mini Game] Tennis
Preface [spoiler]This is my first map for anything in quite a long time. Please give me any feedback and constructive criticism you can think of. I'll likely add a bit more personality to it as it gets refined, but for now this is only meant to be a working concept. I'm hoping this is working as intended, playable, and hopefully a bit of fun too![/spoiler] Get ready for a rousing game of Portal Tennis! Well... its more akin to volleyball, but I really... don't give a damn. The object of this game is to make the Edgeless Safety Cube fall to your opponents floor. Press the button to serve, and use the panels on the back wall to fling the safety cube! You have 10 different panels to aim with. The bottom ones fling short, and the top ones fling long. Play to whatever arbitrary point value you see fit, or claim "next point wins!" when you are feeling lucky. "Please keep in mind that the back wall panels are equipped with state-of-the-art "Cube Accelerators" that our lab boys thought up just the other day. Remember: Do not, under any circumstances, stand in the way of a cube while it passes through an Accelerator. You will be maimed. We will laugh."

sp_amw
Simple 1 room map I'm working on. The room isn't the prettiest looking, but it'll do. There are some interesting elements to work out, different than the normal gameplay. Version 0.21 - added autosave Version 0.2 - shortened the size of the room - removed ability to bounce into laser - changed adding bounce gel to get to button - changed location of laser catcher - added new panel after laser catcher is activated - changed end location - made fade to black, and disconnect after you reach the end (unzip to vpk)
arrival_departure_transition_ents
My tweaked version of the stock arrival_departure_transition_ents.vmf instance that lets you change the opening title, subtitle, and end level on-screen text or disable them. After placing this in your map, open the properties of the instance to set the following options: $subtitle_boolean_toggle -Default value is 1 (0 disables) -Determines if the $chapter_subtitle is displayed at the start of a level $endtext_boolean_toggle -Default value is 1 (0 disables) -Determines if the $end_text is displayed at the end of a level $title_boolean_toggle -Default value is 1 (0 disables) -Determines if the $chapter_title is displayed at the start of a level $chapter_title -Default value is(without quotes) "chapter title here" -This is the text that is shown at the beginning of a level $departure_video -Default value is blank -Use this to add video to the exit elevator scene $chapter_subtitle -Default value is(without quotes) "subtitle title here" -This is the text that is shown at the beginning of a level under $chapter_title $end_text -Default value is(without quotes) "You Win Science!" -This is the text that is shown at the end of a level $arrival_video -Default value is blank -Use this to add video to the entry elevator scene
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.
