The Curious Conundrum
What a curious conundrum you find yourself in, Hmm?
Stairway to Turret Heaven 1.1
Here's my submission for the summer mapping initiative. Couldn't get through the server for the deadline so I'm just uploading it in the general category. A clean/BTS map, with low-medium difficulty puzzles. Most seasoned mappers will probably notice that this hasn't been properly optimized; I apologize, I just ran out of time. Anyway, I had a lot of fun playing with the visual styles, and hopefully you guys have a bit of fun playing it! 1.1 Update: - Fixed two design errors that allowed the player to bypass the turret area completely - Minor graphical enhancements to turret room - Fixed a design error that allowed the player to use an excursion funnel to get outside of the playable map area - Full VIS complile Known problems: - Some players might want better indicator decals for the first area. I didn't add these but if someone wants to put them in, the .vmf is available. - It may be possible to fall outside the playable area without triggering the player death in the first area. This is most likely near the outside of the factory area. I was unable to replicate this myself and so didn't do another compile yet, but if there's any reason to make a v1.2 this will be on the list of things to fix. - There is an erroneous 'nodraw' texture visible in the elevator shaft. Only noticed after the last compile; this too would be fixed in 1.2 if necessary. If anyone wants to use the .vmf, feel free! -Gadz
diversity testing
This might not be accepted, because the clock on the site was ahead, and it refused to upload at first. Extra note: After finally being able to TEST it, I've discovered that, shockingly, the only thing completely broken is a single laser, and the unimportant game end effect. Of course, it's still technically broken, but I had to try to submit thirty seconds before the deadline. It's also riddled with physics bugs, as a bonus. The first two tests work perfectly, though, and a lot of things that I expected not to, do work. There's a whole two working puzzles, even. Too late to fix anything, though. SO YEAH, the end is broken. A laser doesn't turn on, and a door won't open. The part before that, will take a billion tries because of a bug with trigger_push. I can't fix it past the deadline, so it's stuck like that. You've been warned.
Companion Retrieval Run
Retrieve your faithful companion cube, and make your escape, at a price.
The Room
This is the first map I've ever done. It's not as full as I would like, but I think there's a good story in there. Thanks for playing!
Cubes, buttons, funnels...it's got it all.
So... I actually haven't used Hammer all that much before. As in, I started using it on May 17th. Which means I'm pretty new to all of it. Which ALSO means that my test chambers are more on the Wheatley side, if you know what I mean.
Reversal
A map centered around a conveyorbelt, which has been critically aclaimed as "nicely detailed" and "an interesting idea" by testers. Here's two full size screenshots: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/900111/sp_reversal0006.jpg http://dl.dropbox.com/u/900111/sp_reversal0003.jpg Enjoy, and please leave some comments - this is my first release here. (special thanks to msleeper for his modified transition instance)

A 3 part testchamber, fairly difficult. Submitted for the 2011 Summer Mapping Initiative Reuploaded for a "Post-competition" release. By Todarac EDIT: I have revised the map for the "post-contest" release. The map I released for the contest felt a tad unpolished, and incomplete. So i've gone back through the map and changed some things around. I consider this the "Official" release. -Removed the .vmf from the zip file (Sorry guys, it was only for the competition). -Overall lighting is much better -The jumping-tower bit in the 1st test chamber now has actual panels that come out of the wall. -You now HAVE to fling on the jumping-tower in the 1st test chamber. -Observation rooms have been added throughout the chamber. -Chamber 2 has been changed the most -The old world portals have been removed, and new ones added along with a new puzzle in chamber 2. (Its still kind of easy) -Chamber 3 is virtually untouched because it is quite perfect.

eco_leaf
Well, here it is. sp_eco_Leaf is my contest entry. (Duh.) I tried to use the layout and architecture to draw the player's attention to certain puzzle elements, (and sometimes away from them...) sp_eco_leaf has five chambers, and almost all of them can be finished with more than one solution. There is one minor secret area that none of my play testers found, but most of you should be able to find it. Have fun!
Cloudy With a Chance of Turrets
Hey, everyone! This is my first map, and I had a blast making it. I hope you enjoy playing it, and I would of course love some constructive criticism. Thanks for playing!
