cpm_chamber1
Cow's Portal Maps Chamber 1 The first Portal chamber of a little series i'm going to create. All Puzzles work 100%. Extract the file into your #:\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\'username'\Portal\Portal\maps folder. To play the map, run Portal, go to bonus maps and click on cpm_chamber1. If this does not work for some reason, open the developer-console and type “map cpm_chamber1†then hit Enter.
Versatile Diversity
A small map which re-introduces Pneumatic Diversity Vents to Portal 2. The tubes are coloured blue to avoid confusion with other tubes, there's an extra special bonus puzzle beyond the video areas, the indicator strips have been given my own twist, and there's 3 new mechanics using the tubes: the Discrete and Continuous scanners, and the Redirectors. The Discrete scanners require a certain number of things to pass through them to activate, Continuous scanners continuously need things to be in them to activate, and Redirectors change the direction of the tubes. This map was originally part of the E3 Complete Pack, but since it's more of a showcase than an actual level, I decided to release it on its own. Expect more maps using these mechanics fully in the future. Notes: Valve could not have built a worse model for getting stuck with those bots, but don't worry. I have made precautions against it, but even if the bots do get clogged, the level can still be completed. And you know the drill: extract the ZIP to C:\Program Files\Steam\Steamapps\Common\Portal2\Portal2\Maps, start up Portal 2, type "map Versatile Diversity" into the console, and play away!
Good Enough For Science (Instance Example + VMF)
This is a test chamber. Four walls, ceiling and a floor. Good enough for science! This map is mostly constructed from instances, including a custom modified "arrival_departure_transition_ents.vmf" used to handle giving the player the upgraded Portalgun and the ending text. Aside from this, all instances used are stock. Source VMF and modified instance VMF included.

Faith
My first Portal map! It's a single player map consisting of 4 quite easy, short chambers which should take about 15 minutes to complete. As .vpks are currently not working due to DLC pack, please extract all files to: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\portal 2 In game press ` (to the left of 1) to open the console and type "map faith" to play the level. Once .vpks are working again I will release an update. Hope you enjoy, and any comments/feedback/recommendations please let me know in the topic link below. If you should happen to get stuck I have posted a video walk through here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZSODxmIBDU Release updates: v1.0 - Inital release v1.1 - Fix bug in chamber 4: you can get stuck if you don't keep a cube with you. v1.2 - Fix bug in chamber 4: there are too many cubes so you can get through the chamber by cheating. v1.3 - Bridge leading to Chamber 2: You can no longer run along the top while it is down. Chamber 2: The main puzzle has new geometry, so that cubes cannot fall between the gaps of the arms. v1.4: Chamber 1 and 2: Droppers fixed so that buttons only reset once the dropper is closed.
