Portal 2
[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)

Bin-irate

The Forgotten Chamber
An old chamber, that Wheatly found in his search for ever more test chambers.
Co-op Mind Lock
This is my first map ever, and I made it to test my skills and yours. This is a fairly hard map to figure out, so if you and your partner are looking for a challenge then this is the map for you. Special thanks to my test dummy XIRES. Play instructions: Unzip the map from the archive and place in your Steam/steamapps/common/portal 2/portal2/maps folder. Both players have to downloaded the map. Start a normal co-op game and whoever is hosting (the Blue Robot) type in "changelevel mp_coop_mindlock" in the console (which is activated by the ` key under ESC. If you find any bugs with the map, or need help figuring it out then let me know. P.S. When you complete the map, it wont stop loading, so just exit out to the lobby. I have finally updated this map, and fixed the problems with it. May 27, 2011.
Portal Test Chamber 19 Remake
A Remake of the first part of the 19th test chamber from portal 1. It isn't perfect yet, but I think it's good enough to be released now. This is something I've worked on for four days with a lot of good advice from Lpfreaky90.(Working Energy Balls + Clean models from Skotty Thanks man! and can you find the easter egg?)
Lost
Atlas and p-body were doing tests until a mistake heppend and they get lost,they got to find a way back ________ THE LAVA MATERIAL WAS NOT MADE BY ME how to play it: 1.copy mp_coop_tractor_beam_test.bsp to portal2/portal2/maps 2.when you and your friend in game, type in console: changelevel mp_coop_tractor_beam_test Dont know how to enable console? go to options then keyboard/mouse then enable the developer console (you will find a button) also dont forget to put the materials folder into your portal2/portal2 folder
sp_heavy_reuse
Single player map of intermediate difficulty. Returning to multiple rooms and lots of object reuse required for puzzle solving. There is more than one way to solve this map, using different numbers of cubes. Standard solution: solved with 3 cubes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Br5-tjsIpk challenge: solved only using the reflector cube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EG-gc6aApGk
Testchamber Sodium
This is basically the first Portal 2 map I have made. I started making this when Portal 2's SDK was released and hearing about this contest motivated me to add the finishing touch's and bug fixes. This map is built up of some simple chambers and then harder ones towards the end. I will gladly listen to any feedback. Preview pictures are in the provided file. Changes in 1.1 - Cubes now disolve - Added autosaves - Added a white wall across the bottom of the last chamber - Improved the laser chamber
Gel Chamber
My entry for the Summer Mapping Initiative. This includes two chambers using the new gel mechanics in Wheatley's style. First room is quite small and fairly easy. Second room is much larger and is a bit harder.
The Shadows of Time: Episode 1
Felix Griffin and usCobra11 present, The Shadows of Time, Episode 1. Some physicists say that much of the universe consists of Dark Matter, but our research at Aperture has shown that up to 90% of that may be nothing but useless Sort-Of-Dark-But-Still-Pretty-Light Matter. The remaining useful 10%, Darker Matter, has proven useful in controlling the flow of time... Five short tests made for the mAI contest. Source code included. Enjoy!
