Portal 2
Headache
Small map, Very hard difficulty: enjoy Version 2: Fixed the exploit in which players could ninja onto the windows. Version 3: Added lasers, and an extra beam with linked button to guide players to the intended solution, and block an overly-easy solution. Version 5: Narrowed down the portal surfaces so there would be less confusion as to where to start working towards the solution. More elegant fixes to the exploits as opposed to putting walls up everywhere, and some targets to help where aiming is critical, and avoid players having to redo a sequence because of mistakes. Version 6: coming tomorrow- expanding a certain portion of the map to give a more generous timeframe where time is critical, and to give players more time to explore possible options. As of now, version 6 is released! Alot of changes to the layout. Performing the solution is now much easier, however, finding out the solution is still just as difficult. That's the goal- to make a puzzle that challenges the mind, not the reflexes. Version 7: Fixed another (very clever) exploit. The button now has a second preventative function. I did this as opposed to opting to make the lasers deadly, which would have also fixed the problem. I want to prevent exploits, but not make it frustrating. If making the lasers deadly would be preferable to adding the portal-blocker to the button, let me know. I decided it some complication added would be better than getting the player killed and having them start over after trying a certain solution. Let me know what you think. As of 9/6/11. I may have finished updating/polishing this map- ready to move on: I see downloads are still going up, and rating has been between 4 and 5- and so far, no reported exploits or issues. I'm going to take this all as a good sign, considering at version 4, the rating was 3 out of 5, and I had less than 100 downloads. Version 9! I fixed a final exploit with another laser (and playerclip, so the laser needn't be deadly). Added the indicator lights to avoid confusion over the function of a button as well version 10 Fixed a mistake with update 9, which didn't fully fix the exploit. Now I got it! Version 11: Finally- exploits fixed, some minor aesthetic additions and indicative signs for guidance. Not as extensive a facelift as I wanted to give the map- but some odd game crashes are making it slow to test out changes. Should be very playable, but still quite difficult. Enjoy!
Test Map Pack Instances
This is a vmf with some of the instances I used to make various levels in my map packs. In it, you'll find how I made the moving button, portal sensitive panels, colored cubes, assembling room, and circuits. There are comments spread throughout the map in info_nulls or the entities themselves (cubes, buttons, etc). You can find the video for this here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gVYzo6_d8Y
[Coop] Course of Knallhart
A medium-sized and medium-difficulty coop map that requires a lot of teamwork. It might get frustrating at certain points, but don't worry: it has got checkpoints. The installation instructions are located in the .rar file and are basically the same as for any other map. The map has some custom textures in it that are automatically installed with it. I hope you enjoy the map and any feedback is very welcome, so if you have anything to say about it, just post in on the map's topic. Special thanks to NxSG for letting me use his awesome portal 2 themed music. This map features the track called '5D'. Be sure to check out his channel on youtube if you like it! //Composer & Producer: Alexander Linhart/NxSG //Track: Portal 2 Soundtrack (5D) //YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/user/NxSGMusic ///Changes:/// 1.1: -Some things in the last room now make music 1.2: -Changed a button type to prevent glitching

CG's Companion Cube Rescue Mission
Deep within an old, overgrown Aperture test chamber are six companion cubes, each trapped behind its own puzzle. Your mission is to rescue these cubes and take them to the SCANNER in the hub and place them in the big round vent. You can scan any item you are able to pick up, but only the companion cubes will advance you. Try scanning each. Non linear rooms, can be solved in any order. NO AUTOSAVES YET!! REMEMBER TO QUICKSAVE BEFORE EACH AREA!! Once you have rescued 5 of the 6 cubes the exit door will open. I currently do not require all 6, I figured if one of them gives you too much trouble you can skip it. Area 6 is sort of optional, I was thinking of adding some more layers to the puzzle with that laser relay (currently unused) to make area 6 super hard, but make it an acheivement to get all 6. However I could just leave it at the sort of medium-low difficulty it is right now, and have it there in case players can't solve any of areas 1 through 5. Feedback appreciated! There is a secret hidden ratman's den in ONE of the test chambers (where there are chairs to scan) See if you can find it! Area 6 is not quite finished, I am going to make it more complicatesd, and yes in this version it is possible to cheat and get the cube by stacking other cubes. NOTE: it IS possible to get stuck inside some of the chambers after you get the companion cube. I cant really find a way around this, all I can say is when you take the companion cube out of its puzzle test chamber, DONT throw it out. Replays greatly appreciated!
Discophoran
? Discophoran: to be jelly-fish like. What does this have to do with my map? Absolutely nothing.
sp_portal_raider
My firts attempt at Portal 2 mapping, its a 1 level Portal 2 map. Hopefully i have made a challenging map which you are not going to find to easy. It has speed and bounce gel, faithplate , light bridge and other elements. Hope you enjoy, and will wait nervously for your review, thanks.
Laser Web
This map is all about lasers (and other stuff ofcourse). Dont worry its nothing as crazy as my other maps. Infact, this map is a bit on easier side.It doesnt have tons of turrets, no crazy flinging nor does it have gigarooms (ok maybe one). But players will have fun playing this map and it is also designed to make you feel smarter. HDR Enabled As always, report any bugs or shortcuts on the forum. I would also like to see a video of the playthrough. Update#1 - Changed laser grill to emancipation grill - Some bug fixes - Added an indicator telling the player where to start. Enjoy!
sp_Too_Many_Fans
Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBXi522lxes Walkthrough: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4faC7-DkYQM Just a short map based around fans and pneumatics. It's shorter than I would of liked it too be, but my brain was broken and I couldn't think of any more good puzzle ideas to do with fans.
Workaround
A map in the Destroyed style, and consequently involving malfunctioning/overgrown/broken elements. Not everything in this map works toward the solution, even though it may have been part of the original chamber Anyway, a chance for me to work on lighting, scenery and sound as much as anything. All intelligible comments are very welcome Revision R1b: Thanks already to folk pointing out an exploit in the last area - since fixed @ 16:00 GMT 28/08 Also a potential trap alluded to by xdiesp in the unlit area opened by the first box-button - fixed @ 12:15 GMT 29/08 Revision R1c: Altered the second chamber to negate the obvious (Once Portal2Two had shown it) easy way to deal with the turrets there - talk about blinded by your own routine! - fixed 18:00 GMT 31/08
