FourthReaper Texture Pack: Fields
Texture Files Included: fr_surface_division_field fr_force_deflection_field fr_matter_inquisition_field fr_compressed_smoke_field A small texture (material) pack I have assembled on special request in one of my maps threads. Please note that I have created these textures with a certail function in mind. I would appreciate if you would take a close look at how I used them. The Surface Division Field (green) functions as a world portal, for example. (It is also use in some of my maps.) I did not create instances for these "fizzlers" as I can't guarantee full functionality if I do. Please only use the textures if you know your way around handling these things. How to install: Put the texture files in D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\portal 2\portal2\materials\FourthReaper. A map vmf and compiled bsp are included in this small pack as to show how to make correct use of the textures. Please take a look at the vmf before use of these textures. [color=#DD6060:1xnibl6a][b:1xnibl6a]IMPORTANT:[/b:1xnibl6a] Always add the files into the compiled bsp file (using Pakrat or something else) or create a VPK (if that still works, anyway)! Otherwise other people will not have the texture files themselves![/color:1xnibl6a] Credits: FourthReaper - for design and creation Valve - for making the Half-Life/Portal universe a better place Various others - for helping me make custom fizzler vmt's and helping me out on certain issues.

Gelocity Stage 2
It's been a looong time... ...but finally here is my second portal 2 map. Gelocity Stage 2 is a race track (surprise) but a little more complicated and more dynamic than the first one. So if you enjoyed [url=http://forums.thinkingwithportals.com/downloads.php?view=detail&df_id=1284:17okf7db]Gelocity[/url:17okf7db], you might like this as well. Installation instructions: 1. Extract mp_coop_gelocity_stage_2 to your Portal 2 maps folder (...\SteamApps\common\portal 2\portal2\maps). 2. In Coop Hub open developer console and type "changelevel mp_coop_gelocity_stage_2". 3. Race! Note: It takes a moment to paint the race track with propulsion gel. So if you experience performance issues, just wait a minute before starting. Special thanks to Nerzl for playtesting. Updates: v1.03 - some optimizations to reduce entdata v1.02 - fixed animated panels - changed some scripted scenes v1.01 - fixed some ambient sounds - level transition to the lobby should work properly now Screenshots: [url=http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/809/2012020400002u.jpg/:17okf7db][img:17okf7db]http://img809.imageshack.us/img809/9391/2012020400002u.th.jpg[/img:17okf7db][/url:17okf7db] [url=http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/688/2012020200002h.jpg/:17okf7db][img:17okf7db]http://img688.imageshack.us/img688/51/2012020200002h.th.jpg[/img:17okf7db][/url:17okf7db] [url=http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/542/2012020400001.jpg/:17okf7db][img:17okf7db]http://img542.imageshack.us/img542/3319/2012020400001.th.jpg[/img:17okf7db][/url:17okf7db] [url=http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/834/2012020200005.jpg/:17okf7db][img:17okf7db]http://img834.imageshack.us/img834/6824/2012020200005.th.jpg[/img:17okf7db][/url:17okf7db] A short trailer [b:17okf7db][color=#0000FF:17okf7db]made by Nerzl[/color:17okf7db][/b:17okf7db]: [spoiler!] [youtube:17okf7db]Ehh9uLRZjbQ[/youtube:17okf7db]

Testing Science (for school)
Hello fine people (and/or others), For school I have to do some research on a topic. No research without test subjects (you). What do I have to do then, you may wonder. It's simple. Play the Portal 2 map I made (it'll probably take you around 10 minutes depending on how smart you are). While playing you'll encounter some zeros and ones (just before the elevators and grey/orange textures). Write them down in the order you encounter them. When you're finished please send the numbers (and the auto-recorded demos if you feel like it) to me (URL to the .dem file (Steam\steamapps\common\portal 2\portal2) + reply @ forumtopic with the numbers). Everything should be self-explanatory; You'll both help me with my research and you might even get a manly hug or a cookie. Thanks a lot! (When you got to an elevator, but didnt see any numbers, turn around and go back to the last room, orange/grey not really P2-textured! Please dont forget to send them to me )

If you don´t mind, when you start playing the test, you can type on the console "record inputname" So you will record your playing as a dem. file this file will appear in: \Steam\steamapps\common\portal2\portal2 Notice that every time the player dies, or the game have to load a new map, the recording stops and you have to record again.

Madness_1.3.3
A new version of the Madness_1 map with more difficulty and less repetitive (i've read all the critics of the first version and I have corrected them). Then it's a harder difficulty map with portal paint and tbeams in a clean room The first version is here : Madness_1 (don't play this version, the new is really better !) And even you've played the first version, this is really different. Good luck ! Installation : -Extract the zip content to the "C:\program files\steam[Your steam account]\common\portal 2\portal2" folder. -Accept to replace, else, you'll not see the icons on the sign. -Run Portal 2, and type "map sp_madness_1" in the developper console. Have fun !
