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.
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 that it can be played the way I truly wanted it to be. Not sure when that will be, unfortunately.
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.

Hub
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. With this map I could finally use all the prefabs I have made and be more creative. It was almost ready for release last year, but another mapping project had to be prioritized . Now I have improved it further and I believe it is ready for release.
