Portal 2
Secondary Fire: Flings
The first of a set of maps I call "Secondary Fire". The reason for it being called secondary fire is that the player can only use the Orange Portal. This test chamber includes the use of flinging, Hard Light Bridges a little bit of timing and Force Deflection Fields. Overall the map isn't very difficult but it will require the player to go back and forth a lot. Thanks to FourthReaper for the Force Deflection Field texture. UPDATE I believe I have fixed the problem with the Dual Portal Device. What I think happened is that the player would "miss" the trigger_weaponstrip placed at the base of the elevator so I moved that trigger and the Portal Device up a bit.
Paint Mess
First map i've done for Portal 2, Focussing heavily on paint, hence the name I would say it is of moderate difficulty. Changelog: 3.0: Fixed various issues i noticed in playthroughs (clipping etc...) Added a few puzzle related "fixes" in. 2.0: Put the files into a VPK for easy install/uninstall. Neither the map nor the models/textures are updated so theoretically you could still play this map with someone who hasn't got the VPK version.
SP warning_destroying
Destroyed style map with funnel, laser and speed gel. Still destroying. Watch your head and have fun. Version 1.3 Fixed some unintended solutions. I've updated the map since v.1.2 has one trigger I've forgot to update. You can do the map without it, but it makes intended solution less randomly. There are some custom textures of cracked and broken tiles (panels) that are not portable though they are portable in origin.I hope no one mind this.

Getting Back on a Track 1.1 (Updated)
A map I plan on finishing up a lot more and including in Back-Stock I was working on this all the way up until the last minute, I didn't even get time to do a full compile on it. its got some bugs, but I hope you still enjoy also, I swear I "submitted" this like 10 mins before the deadline, it just took a while to upload Bugs I know about but didn't address due to time restrictions: The ride starts a bit jerky The ride may start with a cube really close to you Wheatley has nearly no emotions, and says nothing Wheatley happens to just disappear at the end of the ride The conveyorbelt segments overlap When you load from a quicksave wheatley is off his track Its really dark.. because I didn't do a full compile in the actual chamber: the button doesn't respawn the cube when you loose it, which means you can get stuck the excursion funnel will eat up your cube when you set it to reverse there is some visible nodraw, but it isn't really bad, since it has stuff behind it to draw. the elevator ride goes forever (or until your game crashes) Edit: Now that I see that this is featured, I guess I'll upload a fixed version, where I split the map into 2 bsps because it was so large it couldn't run a full compile on the whole thing
Hazard pit
This is my chamber for the contest. Its prety short and simple but fully detailed. The original room was meant to have a water pit that lowered presing a button which was posible with sdk but not with authoring tools (dunno why), so this is the result, quite similar. Anyway, have fun with the chamber, it was made for that ^^ Please note that my computer cannot open instances nor place overlays so the lifts were copied and pasted from a friends map (he allowed me to dont worry).
Beamchain
A small difficult puzzle for hardcore portal players. Note: As all my maps, this may require rather advanced techniques. v1.1: Removed an alternative solution.
[SP] Test Map Pack 4
Here's another set of 7 chambers. These will probably play faster than my other ones. Hints are given where appropriate and the concepts should be pretty straightforward. Additionally, I had some people playtest the maps, so they should be more bugfree than my other maps. Thank you testers! Each chamber will lead to the next. All have elevators, but not all have videos (it didn't seem necessary). An interesting thought was to create small videos showing the intended solution at the end, but that would make the filesize quite a bit larger. Start the sequence with 'map testmap_31_b' This is a zip file with the maps and materials folders. Extract them to wherever you can get Portal 2 to recognize them. Maps: testmap_31_b - Vacuum Flange Corridor testmap_31 - Blown Away testmap_33_c - Touchy testmap_35 - One Way or the Other testmap_36 - Here a second ago testmap_38 - Push and Pull testmap_39 - Don't Look Back Release 1.0.1: Vacuum Flange Corridor: Added game_text instructions for the first flange Push and Pull: Added grates covering the first two portal surfaces to prevent skipping the second blob.

Bumbleball - 'living' test element
This is the newest test element of the Aperture Laboratories after an idea of Moth. This is not just a ball, it's a bumbleball. This means it jumps, bounces and even moves... if you don't watch it! In this pack there are 4 instances: -A normal sphere button specialized for the bumbleballs, not useable with other objects. -the single bumbleball -droppers for bumbleballs, dirty and clean If the bumbleball is outside of the players view it will bounce around every 2. second. It will make a distinctive sound when bouncing so the player can hear it. When on a button, the ball won't bounce, move or whatever. The .PSD file for custom textures is added. You can make up to 16 skins (value 15 in Hammer Editor). If you want to paint it, it will get colored but wont jump or glide. Thats because its a normal prop_physics. Prop_physics_paintable is not recommended because it will get the paint settings, but wont get any visible paint color. To dissolve the ball, for example in water, FireUser4 on it.
[SP] Test Map Pack 3
7 more chambers. Again, I must warn you that these are experimental. I've attempted to give the player direction without resorting to neon signs, but some ideas are a little...odd. Some chambers have autosaves right before you are about to kill yourself. So, if you die, don't panic...much. Each chamber will lead to the next. The last one does not have an elevator, so the transition may be a bit jarring. Start the sequence with 'map testmap_22'. The following is a list of all the maps in the pack with their titles from corresponding YouTube videos: testmap_22 - Up and Down testmap_24 - Align It Yourself testmap_25 - Enough is Enough testmap_26 - Lateral Thinking testmap_27 - Heavy Lifting testmap_28 - Not Another Puzzle testmap_29 - Assuming Control Due to vpks not working right at the time of posting, this is a zip file with the maps and materials folders. Extract them to wherever you can get Portal 2 to recognize them. Note: Align It Yourself will briefly toggle cheats to get sv_allow_mobile_portals working. The Peer Review update (or its subsequent updates) somehow made toggling it without cheats unreliable. The chamber isn't broken without mobile portals, it'll just take a little longer. Please let me know of any bugs you find...except that hard light surface over videos not working right. I don't believe I can do anything about that without sacrificing one or the other. Also, the spheres in 28 may disappear through the floor. Blame Source's physics. Release 1.0.1: Changed the map transition command in 26 from 'changelevel' to 'map' as a fix for visibility issues in 27. Release 1.0.2: Added clip to mobile portal surface in 27 to prevent players from getting stuck behind. Primary attack is automatic fire and secondary is semi-auto in 29. Added broken room to 29 to mirror the target room. It is difficult to see and may be removed/moved/replaced in a future release. All maps set map_wants_save_disable to 0 after 4 seconds have elapsed. This fixes the issue where players were unable to quicksave until they either reloaded the map or changed the variable themselves. Disabled top wall projectors in 26 to make getting to the elevator easier if the player fell. Release 1.0.3: Assuming Control: Added tipped over tube and crushed turret Modified player failure execution to briefly toggle cheats Made falling tube demonstration start earlier and more prominent Added possibility to destroy target without having to neutralize immediate threats Modified firing system activation to briefly toggle cheats Realigned some textures Made windows "less shiny" Align it Yourself: Made panel move around until you look at it to promote more USEful curiosity Enough is Enough: Added clip to prevent prematurely exiting puzzle Added moving portallable panel to prevent players from being stranded Heavy Lifting: Removed upper 2 levels of portallable surfaces above entry door Added location check for buttons Added vphysics clips to prevent button from wedging itself in Changed station 2's i/o to stop unnecessary panel animation changes Changed station 3's i/o to address issues with the exit door
