Portal 2
Prototype Reflect Ball (model only)
After some delay, I managed to cook up a RAR file with the files needed for the Reflect Ball. It is an 'unassigned' model, meaning there's a few bugs that need tweaking. Thus, I flopped in the SMDs and QC files for everyone to look at.
Elevator Videos Fixed - Brainstones Hardcoded Instances v1.1
EDIT(IMPORTANT:) I have just discovered (thanks to sleter) that the elevator videos behave differently AGAIN when your map is uploaded to the workshop. (Damn VALVE) The Problem is now fixed. I have also merged the arrival logic and the arrival base as I have merged the departure logic and the departure base; that was unfortunately a must because of the nature of this very annoying problem. Currently you can have entry_elevator_UP and exit_elevator_UP in your map. Entry_elevator_DOWN and exit-elevator_DOWN will be added shortly. You MUST redownload this instance, because your elevator video screens will always play the default video as soon as they are uploaded to the workshop. (Unless you delete the entity "video_script" inside your logic elevator instance. In my custom logic elevators, this is already the case, so you will probably have this problem only in your arrival elevator.) Thank you for your understanding. ---------------------------------- Aren't you tired of VALVE destroying elevator videos with the new DLC? Aren't you tired of editing scripts for map transitions? And then packing them into bsp, what doesn't work? Do you really expect every under-age-12 downloader to be smart and not lazy enough to copy several of your scripts in the right location of his PC? Do you want to display chapter titles? Do you sometimes wish to have free choice over whether your Portal Gun can shoot the orange Portal and whether it carries PoTAToeS or not? Do you want a map transition that works, when the player si not in the PeTI? All this is now accesible to you, thanks to Brainstone's Hardcoded Instance Collection --------------------------------------- 1. BrainstoneEntryTransition Delete the standard arrival_departure_transition for this to work. Possibilities to choose: $canShootOrangePortal $PortalgunHasNoPotatoe $chapterTitle $chapterSubtitle $chapterTitleColour (e.g. 255 100 255) $chapterSubtitleColour $EnableChapterTitle $EnableChapterSubtitle 2. BSHC_entry_elevator_UP $video 100% functioning 3. BSHC_exit_elevator_UP $video $newmapname $disablePTIVoteDiag (If you are playing in the PeTI AND want to vote, there is no other option than let the player click the "next map" button to create a transition. However, this always transitions the player to $newmapname when he plays not in PETI)
Cube DESTRUCTION!!!
Congrats! You just found the first map I've made that actually has aligned textures! This map is by no means meant for serious testing. Basically when I'm bored I go into this map and have fun with the faith plate by placing a portal under the cube dispenser and one over the faith plate and watching cubes fling themselves into a fizzler! Yay! By the way the button is so you can reset the door to the closed postition for whatever reason. Extremely entertaining for my ADHD mind. Enjoy! P.S. There's an easter egg simply awaiting your discovery. See if you can find it in all of its eastery wonderfullness-ness! PPS. All of a sudden my cubemaps are NOT WORKING. If someone has some insight as to why this is the case, please let me know.
Currently Untitled
Currently Untitled, a map in the old decaying aperture style, with the following features: * overgrowth! and water! * laser-burning-turret madness. * cubes, a sphere, a funnel, and a light-bridge. * HDR lighting * Relaxation vault for when it all gets a bit much. See here for screenshots: http://steamcommunity.com/id/RufusThorne/screenshots/ I'm looking for some help with optimisation: The map is fully sealed, but suffers some jerkiness. Please take a look at the included VMF and let me know if there's anything I can do in terms of HINT brush placement, etc. Also any things that need changing. Item placement, number of cubes, etc. I'm also looking for fellow mappers to 'dirty up' the environment. Suggestions for fog, particle effects, etc as well as some basic help on these topics would be appreciated. Thank you
Reduce Reuse Refract
Reduce Reuse Refract (v1.0) is a two part, difficult map involving lasers, redirection cubes, and of course, thinking with portals. For the first part, remember the map's name if you get stuck. Reduce, reuse, and refract! This is my first map, and my submission for the summer mapping initiative. I spent way too much time on this, so please, submit your feedback and tell me what you think. Good luck! -Lemures (06-06-11)

Cube Collector v 0.1
New update in steam workshop ( link below) http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/f ... earchtext= In this map you have to collect cubes from different chambers to solve. For long playing, this time you can try to take the companion cube to the elevator or try to solve with less than five cubes. It?s possible, isn?t it. Note: -Room three was changed -Unlogic gaming was fixed -Now Glados speaks -Better savepoints created -forgotten fizzler function fixed Ps: Please post your experience about this map. Here you allways will see the actually best walkthrough. This is an unintended solution by John11 with 11 portals.. MU7uLDLFlxw
[SP] Aperture Salience
Salience - pertaining to Sa-li-ent: Adjective - Prominent or Conspicuous. Why is this map prominent? Because it's my first! (No don't run away!) This map features not just cubes, buttons, fizzlers and funnels in GLaDOS's Clean environment, but most importantly:- You can only fire one portal. Yes, in a style that is reminiscent (read: stolen) from the Blue Portals mod from old, but it brings some light and enlightenment into a completely unused aspect of portal puzzling. This map is 99% bug-free and I spent my whole summer holidays bringing life to it, so I know that I put the effort into it. But don't take my word for it, listen to these testimonies from past test subjects: "{REDACTED}" - Chell "My arm got bitten off by Mantis Men halfway-through. Would not test again." - Josh Ovencan - RubbishyUsername CEO of Rat Puree Laboratories Known minor bugs: Sometimes the elevator will not move at the start. Reload the map or noclip out to fix. Updates: V1.1 - Made an unintended solution harder, added portal emitter lights, and a couple of other minor changes.

Back and Forth
This is really a simple puzzle. It loops in on itself with obstacles; unless you and your partner can work together, you're both going to be doing alot of exactly what the title says.
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 <float> [default: 1.5] The amount of time that the crushers spend closed. $time_to_close <float> [default: 4] The amount of time that the crushers spend opened. If you see ??? in your func_istances properties, don't worry, these values do work as default. If the stop_crusher is triggered and the crushers are still moving, triggering the start_crusher won't do anything. You have to wait for the crushers to stop. This is my first instance, please report any bugs you find!
