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.
T²
T Squared; very scary Hey all, decided to open up hammer for the first time one day and this is what I got. Constructive criticism is welcome, just don't bash me too hard 'cause it's my first map ever. I don't really know why I decided to call it T², I guess it's just what was on my mind (it's not even scary). Enjoy!
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.
PMK 4
PMK 4 with advanced and challenge versions WARNING - IF YOU HAVE v1.0 OR THE TWP CONTEST VERSION INSTALLED YOU MUST DELETE THE DIRECTORY "PMK_4" IN: C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\\portal\portal\maps BEFORE INSTALLING THIS VERSION. Extract the file PMK_4.bmz somewhere memorable and load Portal. Click on bonus maps and click import. Find PMK_4.bmz you saved earlier and press open.
Portal - Advanced Challenges
Challenge versions for the Advanced maps These files add challenge versions for each of the advanced maps for Portal I have changed the gold requirements for a few chambers, as the values for the normal chambers was impossible for these maps... (chamber 13 seems high... but the best i could get was 8, but i think 7 is possible which is why i put it as gold...) I have also made a little icon for it... Instructions: - Extract contents of zip file to C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\\portal\portal a folder called scripts should appear... a new icon will appear next to challenges and advanced maps in the bonus maps menu... enjoy! :D

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. How to install: 1) Extract the bmz file to any folder. 2) Launch Portal. 3) Go to Bonus Maps. 3) Click the button "Import Bonus Maps..." 4) Find the file named "aldez_bonusmaps.bmz" and open it. How to uninstall: 1) Go to the "...\Steam\steamapp\YOUR STEAM ACCOUNT NAME\portal\portal\maps" folder. 2) Delete the folder named "aldez_bonusmaps". 3) Go to the "...\Steam\steamapp\YOUR STEAM ACCOUNT NAME\portal\portal\maps\graphs" folder. 4) Delete the folder named "aldez_bonusmaps". 5) Go to the "...\Steam\steamapp\YOUR STEAM ACCOUNT NAME\portal\portal\maps\soundcache" folder. 6) Delete the folder named "aldez_bonusmaps".
