Alpha Chamber 1
My first of hopefully many Portal maps. This is the first of two planned maps for Portal. I'm sure you know how and where to put the files, right? No? ...ok then. Place the .bsp file into your "maps" folder located in your "E-MAIL\portal\portal" directory. Then, fire up Portal, and type "map alphachmb_1" in console, and you're good to go! Sorry it has to end so abruptly, and that it's so short, but once I release the second map that goes along with this, the first will be included as well so ...
Aldez's Test Chamber
My first bonus map for Portal. This is my first bonus map for Portal. My goal wasn't to make a challenging map, but to make a map that covers many of the basic elements of Portal. I hope you enjoy it nevertheless. Another version of it was an entry in the February contest. In this version I've fixed a lot of minor bugs and hopefully got rid of all exploits. The map is embedded in a bmz file and it includes the least portals/steps/time challenges.

Challenges oriented around a central point. This is my second map for Portal. My first map (Aldéz's Test Chamber) was more of an experiment and a product of my struggle to learn Portal mapping.

Now I have improved it further and I believe it is ready for release. How to install: 1) Extract the bmz file to any folder...

Portal 2 Extras Menu Patcher
Drag & drop custom maps to add them to the Portal 2 Extras menu (for easy loading without console)! It is very easy to use: It will automatically get your portal2.exe path & map name in the folder where the patcher is. Just set the title and subtitle. You can also set a picture for your map (not necessary). The program can save default settings to an ini file to make patching even easier. It also supports drag & dropping .bsp, .vtf, .txt and .exp files. .txt and .exp have to be in ...
