Portal 2
Template textures + common prop gallery (vmf)
I usually start my maps with this template: - It contains my favorite Portal 2 textures applied on small cubes (so I can check "display only used textures" in hammer texture browser) - I placed my favorite (most common) props: vegetation, broken ceilings, debris... Its easier and faster to check the props like this (I just copy them from here). I can also see their sizes etc. And for the textures, it makes browsing faster. When I'm done with my map, I just delete the room note: delete the player_start and the trigger_auto that displays the starting text
Lasers
A short, simple map. My first one. You'll have to use some clever thinking in order to light up the required laser relays.
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:
Time Travel: Part Two
This is a continuation of my previous map.The first chamber is pretty much done. THE DOOR ON THE LEDGE IS THE END, FOR NOW. refrain from voting until finished if you would plase Rules of timetravel (In this map) 1. Portals do not persist through time 2. Objects can be brought back from the future, when placed in the immediate lit up zone 3. Objects cannot be taken to the future 4. Objects will persist through time, what is there in the past will be there in the future (For now, only in certain places that is goal-related as it's an butthole to code) Any suggestions or input, wel anything at all really is appreciated
Hmm
The beginning of my first map. I started using Hammer this week, and this is what I got so far. No hard feelings.
Coop Bare Minimum
Basic, functional coop map with an entrance, basic middle room without puzzles, and the exit. Hope this helps!
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."
