Sp The Part Where V1.1
Contest submission for the 2012 Heavy-duty super-mapping super-contest. ?The Part Where? is a large map made with the collaborative efforts of GLaDOS CUBE and Another Bad Pun. The map offers 25-40 minutes of exploration, puzzle solving, and most importantly, science. You play as one of the coop bots being tested by Wheatley in the torn apart labs of ?Wheatley Laboratories?. Use your wide robotic mindset of puzzle solving techniques, and most importantly, your sense of artificial pain to solve the test in a fashion that even GlaDOS would be proud of. Can you conquer this conundrum? Can you find all of the pony-related easter eggs? Are you up for the challenge? Only one way to find out?

FlipCounter Instance (and vmf example)
I made this instance for my map and I managed to make it pretty much user friendly so I decided to share it. So it's basically a flip counter that goes from 0 up to 9(and loops) every time you trigger it. All you need to do is to put it as an instance and name it how you want. Trigger it with anything you want. And also you have a parameter for a starting value. Put any number from 0-9 and that will be the default number when the map spawns. I was having troubles getting the instance to return the value so it can trigger something else so I just figured a way to do that outside the instance with just one math_counter and one logic_case. It's all included in the example vmf. It looks pretty cool, I used panel animation to make the flipping look nicer. Although I wanted to make a real flipcounter where every number is split in half, but that would require twice as many brushes and 10 times a many patience .. it look cool enough Use it however you want, it's my gift to the community. Would be nice to credit me wherever you use it, but I'm not gonna hunt you if you don't

Engineer
A map designed to make you think. This is not a series of chambers, but a large interconnected puzzle that requires exploration and problem-solving. It's meant to be solved over time and not intended to be burned through in one sitting. The most important thing to focus on is that the intended solution is not tedious. While the map does have several solutions, some are more tedious than others, and if you find yourself repeating a multiple times to "get it right" (or are becoming frustrated), then most likely it'll be best to take a step back and reconsider the strategy. A walkthrough for version 1.1.1 is available here (best to view if stuck or to compare with your solution): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBUwK4-qfLc Notes: - It is possible to do things that make the puzzle unsolvable. Usually you will realize problem relatively quickly. Autosaves are placed in such a way as to help minimize getting stuck. - Both .bsp and .vmf are included in all versions. Want to see how I made the enable/disable/reverse tractor beam? Go right ahead. Changelog: v. 1.3.2 - Added elevators & pit lasers. v. 1.3.1 - Many cosmetic and convenience additions. v. 1.3.0 - Changed the puzzle a little. Fizzlers now work as normal, fizzling boxes too! Added about 2 or 3 additional non-trivial solutions. Added some lighting. Added some small changes to increase intuitiveness. Cleaned up many extraneous entities. Lots of small bug fixes. v. 1.2.1 - Added textures to make it prettier. v. 1.2.0 - Reduced need to resolve elements. Fixed solutions broken in 1.1.2. Added autosaves. Added additional non-trivial solutions. v. 1.1.2 - Pits now kill the player. Added lighting to make traps more obvious. Finished all indicators. v. 1.1.1 - Aesthetic changes to increase map intuitiveness. v. 1.1.0 - Fixed several exploits. Fixed ending room. v. 1.0.0 - Initial release.

Gel converter device
Heyho, I made a gel converter for you. The concept of the gel converter is to convert a gel into another gel. For example: Convert bounce gel to portal gel. You may change some settings for your own implementation. This map contains: ? gel converter device ? rotating device ? binary switch for two colors How to install: Just export the .vmf to /../Portal 2/sdk_content/maps and open with the hammer editor.
[COOP] Faith Bridge
I started with the goal of making a short, self-contained but complex map. I ended up with this. Probably in the medium difficulty range. Contains faith plates, light-bridge, buttons, panels, and cooperation! It doesn't require any difficult maneuvers, just good old logic and coordinating together. As this is my first released project, any and all constructive criticism and comments will be appreciated. As such, it is still a work in progress. I still need to work on better lighting and details, and I can add some angle helpers if they are needed. Let me know if my texture choices are too unorthodox (or if they just look bad) and I will change them. Thanks for playing!

Gel Chamber
My first map for that game, it's not that hard. It's the kind of puzzle you can find in the game. ==V1.1.1== Fixed some shortcut
