[COOP] (WIP) Bridge Over Toxic Water
I'm having a few difficulties progressing with this map, so, really, this upload is also a cry for help. Firstly, I wanted to add a second area to the map, like most of the coop maps in game, but I can't find a instance for those half-way checkpoint rooms; or even a way to set a new spawn point. How do you go about doing this? As it is, this upload of the map does not have the second area at all, as I don't want to frustrate players if they die in the second half, with no access to it. What do you think? I still need to detail the tiles, but since this is now at a playable stage I decided to upload it to the WIP section. Thanks in advance for any feedback; it's greatly appreciated.

[SP] Monoportal
Monoportal is a single-player level that revolves around combining more advanced test elements with the Single Portal Device. Monoportal consists of 8 chambers spread across 3 maps which, if I met my goal, begin quite easy and grow more difficult and complex as you progress. Part One: sp_monoportal1.bsp: Intro, Lasers, Light bridge Part Two: sp_monoportal2.bsp: Faith plate, Speed and bounce gels Part Three: sp_monoportal3.bsp: Turrets, Excursion funnel, Finale Federal regulations require me to thank you for playing, and to hope that you enjoy your experience!

D792AC187/ http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/55866 ... 036BB9EE0/ http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/55866 ... C35FD4FDA/ UPDATES ------- V4 - Fixed bug induced by the DLC. V3.95 10/02/11 Thanks for the 1500 downloads! I finally decided to block one slightly unintended solution. I added placement helpers that should give the bounce gel a 100% success rate (if you're doing it right). V3.9 Some final tweaks for now. V3.8 - Yet more and brighter lighting in gel and funnel room, as per viewer suggestion. Safeguarded against possibility of a portal dissappearing. 9/14/11 V3.5 - Tweaked some things, mainly regarding exploits in the final chamber. V3 - significant lighting improvements in chambers 4 and 7. v2.6 - Fine-tuned previous changes made to sp_monoportal3 including turrets and functionality (fixed a few placement helpers) v2 - Fixed exploit of being able to bypass faith plate, made minor visual tweaks, fixed various other errors 9/6/11 v1 - Original 9/5/11

[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)

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!
[SP] Beginning of the End
or: I'm not Good at Naming Maps, a Map by TicTac A short-medium length test chamber, set after the events of Portal2. The test includes faith plates, lasers, and a light bridge. Here's a couple screenshots (sorry for the large file size) README: Extract and place the .vpk in your portal 2/portal2/addons/ folder. You may have to create the "addons" folder. Run Portal2 and type "map sp_tictac_01" in your console. http://u.cubeupload.com/dvlstx/2011082600001.jpg http://u.cubeupload.com/dvlstx/2011082600002.jpg UPDATED: Added playerclips, fixed exit areaportal.

Simple Map
Put Portalmapeditor.vpk in addons folder. Put the other files in SAVE. Note: If the addons folder doesn't exist, create one. In the console write, load quick
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!
