Portal 2
Security Crisis
My first Portal 2 map! GLaDOS finds that Wheatley's monitor screen is better than her security cameras, so she decides to use it. This map contains two simple puzzles, a Laser Relay puzzle and a momentum puzzle. Both are required to solve in order to open the exit door. Some mechanics involved: Laser Relay Discouragement Redirection Cube Thermal Discouragement Beam (and its receptacle) Excursion Funnel Aerial Faith Plate Edgeless Safety Cube This is a map purely made by Hammer (Authoring Tools). I'm new to it so be nice Leave some comments on what I can improve on in my next map. Don't forget to rate it! If you like it, I might do more next time.
[JFTC] Flinging with Portals (Test Chamber 03/19)
Hey guys! This is the third test chamber of "Journey of the Cake"! This test chamber requires a lot of flinging, so be prepared! IMPORTANT NOTE: I reduced the total number of test chambers from 48 to 19. Since most of you said that 48 is too much. Size: Medium Difficulty: Easy (but frustrating if your cube keeps fizzling) Testing elements involved: Aerial Faith Plates Excursion Funnel Basic elements (Cube dropper, switch, button) Improvements: -Observation Rooms -Lightings -Reduced total test chambers to 19 -Autosave after the elevator -Harder puzzles NOTE: Ignore the test chamber sign on the right. Tell me what you think about this map! I'll then try to improve in my next map. Comment and rate it! Post your blindruns and walkthroughs here too! I really appreciate it!

Enviromental Testing -BETA!- V2!
Hey! First update, second version! Not bad, eh?! Still waiting for some ideas from you! There also will be a "Upate Log" with every update now! Even in the description of the publish! =D ITS GEINUS! SO LOOK AT IT! Update Log: -Removed the companion cube secret. -Removed Puzzlelist folder. -Removed test soloution .txt's. +Added more lighting for the "Old Aperture Zone." +Changed two buttons to fit their "zone." +Added a Weighted Button to activate exit. +Added the "Update Log" to the "README OR ELSE.txt." Fixed the "Invisible" emansipation grill error. Gave the moving wall at the beggining non-cubeic corners while in "Starting Background Zone." NOTE: I will be creating some Side-Projects that will be fully uplaoded onto the "Sigleplayer Tests" download area! These tests will NEVER have beta(s)! They will be full-on created! This map series (Enviromental Testing) Is going to be a -main-work-project- but the others are a side-project for you to play while waiting for more beta versions to come out! There also might be demos I will be posting of the "Side" maps on my youtube channel! (LordHigg1) and, some of the "Side" tests will be added to the FINAL RELEASE of Enviromental Testing FULL RLEACE! So, its more of a modpack! So, wait about a month or two, and you can play he full Enviromental Testing map, and all of the extras!! So stay tuned! (Sorry for all the text xP)
[JFTC] Painting with Gels (Test Chamber 02/48)
Hey guys! This is the second test chamber of "Journey for the Cake". This test chamber contains Gels, with the exception of Conversion Gel. (No Cleansing Gel too) NOTE: I made this map purely with Hammer (Authoring Tools). Just because the paint dropper is the one from PeTI doesn't mean that I made this with the Puzzle Maker, right? I'm just bored of using the standard underground paint dropper so I used the PeTI version. Size: Medium Difficulty: Medium Testing elements involved: -Repulsion Gel -Propulsion Gel -Turrets -Hard Light Bridges Improvements: -Autosaves -Lightings -Automatic door signs Enjoy! Please tell me what you think about this map! Comment! Remember to rate it too! Please post your blindruns/walkthroughs here so I know what to improve in my next map.

ML's Angry Hover Turret
This is my personal version of the scrapped Hover Turret that didn't make it in Portal 2. It floats in the air while tracking the player with a laser and has two turrets equipped that remain motionless (except when firing). The only way to destroy the turrets is to burn them with the laser, picking up the turrets will NOT work. To activate the Angry Hover Turret properly, trigger the logic_relay with a trigger or something. It is best to copy and paste the Angry Hover Turret rather than loading it as an instance. Known issues: 1)While trying to rotate the Angry Hover Turret, the func_tank that tracks the player may end up firing the laser in another direction. When this happens, simply rotate the func_tank (the clip box) 90, 180, 270, etc degrees until it lines up properly. This takes some trial and error testing but it's not a big deal. 2) When using the reflection cube with the Angry Hover Turrets laser beam, sometime the laser will not reflect in it's current position.
Unclear
My first map, its very difficult puzzle, and will play tricks on you, AND YES,THE FAITH PLATES ARE RIGHT, THATS ONE OF THE CHALLENGES!!! sheesh you people, anyways, Im trying to fix the 2 hidden triggers, they had an idication, but its not seeming to show up so yea. this is just a trial and error test also, next map will be a lot better, believe me.
Character Selection Room
A Character Select instance to allow the player to pick which character they play with
Impulse Laser Intro
A simple puzzle made to introduce a new testing element, The Impulse Laser. It acts similarly to a laser and a combine ball combined. (hehe, pun intended.) The ball must be activated by the laser. The ball will lose charge over approx. 7 seconds. When it is charged, It can be placed inside a receptacle, and only retrieved from the receptacle using a button or another activator. (My First released map!) The test is not hard, but I feel it is sufficient to explain how it can be used. I will (possibly) be releasing another map containing this element, except much more advanced.
Reflection Gel Particles
Modified particles for reflection gel splats. Must be added into the particles manifest like so: Copy, then put two slashes in front of, the lines for the old paintsplat particle files: //"precache" "paint_bomb_fx.pcf" //"precache" "paint_splats_fx.pcf" Paste, and add _new to the ends of, and ! to the fronts of, the new filenames. You need to have a fixed reflection gel blob texture for this to work!
Customizable Box Droppers
These box droppers reduce all of the box dropper stuff in instances/gameplay into just a handful of instances. Place a dropper instance, give it the name of a special cube instance, and you're good to go! Note: there's a vscript involved, so using FudgePacker with this is a good idea. The Faith Cube also will glitch unless you have Skotty's Catapult Cube model.
