Portal 2
[Instance] Ramps
I made some ramps out of 5 64x64 panels the ramp goes up by a height of 80Units. In the Download you can find 4 different types of the ramp.

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

Tyrant Chamber 01
This is my first Portal 2 map (And really my only good portal map in general) SO please give me some feedback even if it is bad. I want this to be a learning experience for me. Oh and btw, no elevators. Didn't feel like it. I did however put something amusing at the end. REMEMBER this is just for my learning experience. Kinda short but ill eventually make longer and better chambers. FIX Put back the broken indicator lights. basically it though. Fix 2 So apparently the last version i uploaded had an error with the glass so i had to reupload it once again.
dontfall
It's my first map with Hammer - mostly a momentum puzzle. Please comment: I'm having fun doing this, but I want to get better so don't hold back.
sp_companion
I wanted to try to make a mini story where you need to get your beloved companion cube. I need to change a lot of things and add sound effects, more lighting and animations also need to change some of the textures and decals. I tried to have some dirty aperture as well as clean aperture and I need to add game text. It is not a hard map but hopefully people enjoy it anyway
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.
Crushers Instance
For all the crusher lovers, here is an instance including two lovely crushers colliding together. You can control them and set the times between opened and closed positions. UPDATE 1: updated with func_instance_io_proxy for easier I/O. Replacable variables: $time_to_open
Gel Flow Particle Systems
This is a map with a couple of example Gel-Flow Particle Systems. This is how Valve made Gel look like it is flowing through pipes (and curving in them). You can just copy and paste these into your maps, however keep the angles of the info_particle_system's the same to the info_target as this is how it tells which way to curve the Gel. I would suggest you to ignore the different "Control Points" as decompiling a Valve map shows that they only used 1 info_target for 1 particle control system. Searching through the Portal files I couldn't find the name of a water one but I am pretty sure that there is one. If you do find out the name of the particle system, then post a comment below and I will edit this thread.
