Turrets Overwatch 02
This turned out to be more like a GLaDOS voice test for me, but the chamber shows a new funel mechanic as well and its difficulty is medium. I spent quite a lot of time working on the textures and the evil GLaDOS traps and I'm proud of what I did (don't get angry if she's too harsh on you ). Check out Part 01 as well. AND MAKE SURE THE TURRETS DIE!!! Installation: Extract the compressed files in your ...Steam\SteamApps\common\Portal 2\portal2 folder, then open Portal 2 and type in the console "m...

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 c...
Trifurcated
A small and difficult map, inspired by "fizzler network" puzzles like Seven Gates and Gridlock. Note that there are two types of glass- the one with crossed pattern blocks lasers. Also, I've currently uploaded to the TWP database so that Mac users can play it (they have issues with workshop maps as far as I know) and also because I can't access Steam community at the moment. I will upload to the workshop and post the link in this description later. INSTALLATION Extract sp_trifurcated_v1_7.bsp to...

Double Trouble Remastered
Welcome test subjects. Like t2c3 I decided to update my map “Double Trouble Remastered”. Including my old map “Double Trouble” with an overgrown theme this map has got a new difficult level and there are some nice gags. I also removed the ugly small disco room at the beginning. [b:28wnuwah]Gameplay:[/b:28wnuwah] Take a long view! You will start on top of the overgrown chamber and you have to solve the quest. After passing a triggered area, a new spawn point is activating.
