btmap1_rc
A single coop test chamber that requires at minimum 15(?) portals to complete. A coop partner who has completed both the single player and the coop initiative is recommended. Test chamber includes: aerial faith plate, button (untimed), redirection cube, hard light bridge, discouragement beam, and emancipation grids. When completed, the map sends you back to the Hub. (Or, it should) Installation instructions: 1. Create a folder in 'Portal 2\portal2\' called addons. *If you have the Sixense MotionPack DLC, you will most likely have to create the folder in 'Portal 2\portal2_sixense.' 2. Place your .VPK file inside the addons folder. 3. If Portal 2 was running during step 2, type the following in the console: update_addon_paths. Otherwise, skip to the next step. 4. To load a Co-op map, start a Co-op game with your friend, once you enter the hub type in console: changelevel mymap replace mymap with the name of your map. (EDIT: the name of the map is mp_coop_btmap1_rc should have specified earlier) (EDIT2: Added a readme file with basic information)
Strubadur
This coop map features different themes, tricky puzzles and two levels with several testchambers. They contain shredders, crushers, and many of the portal 2 entities we know from the coop campaign. We tested the map a lot so there shouldn't be any bugs, cheating possibilities etc. Any critics are very welcome please leave a message in the [url=http://forums.thinkingwithportals.com/post48171.html?hilit=strubadur#p48171:1xpjmq8u]forum[/url:1xpjmq8u] if you'd like to but keep in mind that this is our first map (we did not have any hammer experience before). Have fun and look at the indicators and signs which help you to solve the puzzles! spliffa & weedbeat Installation instructions: 1. Use 7-zip to extract the package. 2. Copy mp_coop_strubadur.vpk to your Portal 2 addons folder (\SteamApps\common\portal 2\portal2\addons). If it doesn't exists, create it. 3. In Coop Hub open developer console and type "changelevel mp_coop_strubadur_1". 4. Second level will be loaded automatically.

[SP] Motanum´s Wall Bridge
A map made in hammer fully. Couple of months back. Sligthly harder than Juggling. Maybe. Check it out and upload a blind playthrough if possible, I love to watch test subjects... err... I mean players... solve my chambers. Again, thanks for rating, the feedback and you can use my site to contact me. To install just put the bsp in your steamapps/common/portal 2/portal2/maps folder. Use the console command map to launch it in game.

Automated Map Installer
Updates will resume in approximately 10 days, until then I will have no internet. Hello everyone! Portal 2 Map Installer is a compact program I wrote. It monitors My Documents/Portal 2 Map Installer and automatically installs any maps it finds there. It can also accept maps dragged onto the window. FEATURES: -Easy to use -Folder monitoring -Drag and drop support -Minimalistic user interface (prevents screen clutter) -Stay on top functionality (optional - disabled by default) -Run at startup functionality (optional - disabled by default) -Asks politely before overwriting files and makes a backup SUPPORTED MAP TYPES: -Just about all of the maps on this site -Archives: RAR, ZIP, 7Z -BSP, VMT, VTF, NUT, MDL, PHY and a whole lot more -Map, materials, textures, scripts, models etc... -Will keep folder architecture if valid -Can install maps with unsupported extensions if valid folder architecture is found. It is currently in BETA. I have tested it myself and found a few minor errors, but it is at a releasable stage. Please test it and let me know of any errors. Tutorial videos coming soon, should be pretty self explanatory though. Known errors: - Places unknown file types in: Steam>Steamapps>Common>Portal 2>Portal2>INVALID - Because of this you will probably often get messages asking you if you want to overwrite readme.txt - Does not correctly detect Portal 2 directory when it is not in Steam directory. (Does anyone know of a better registry key to use than HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run and then adding SteamApps/common/portal 2?) CHANGELOG: V1.2.0 FIXED - Files extracted to the wrong place when the archive name contained portal2 or portal 2 (case-insensitive) V1.1.0 FIXED Major error where 7zip was not packaged with the program V1.0.0 Original Release

Gelocity
This coop map is rather a race track than a puzzle. Use your portal gun cleverly to trick your opponent and be the first to reach the finish line! You will probably need a few laps until you know all tricks - so give it a second try and it will be smoother and more fun. Installation instructions: 1. Extract mp_coop_gelocity 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". 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: v1.02 - fixed animated panels - changed the portal cleanser's visuals - added button for activating remote view - added direction signs v1.01 - fixed the buttons in the first room (sound bug) - added hints to the buttons - fixed catapults (animation error and launch target error) - fixed paint sprayers (now get properly removed after finishing) - some visual changes/fixes - added some clip walls - now returns to mp_coop_lobby_3 afterwards Screenshots: [url=http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/819/gelocity3.jpg/:omvyq2s6][img:omvyq2s6]http://img819.imageshack.us/img819/2564/gelocity3.th.jpg[/img:omvyq2s6][/url:omvyq2s6] [url=http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/90/gelocity2.jpg/:omvyq2s6][img:omvyq2s6]http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/4922/gelocity2.th.jpg[/img:omvyq2s6][/url:omvyq2s6] [url=http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/40/gelocity4.jpg/:omvyq2s6][img:omvyq2s6]http://img40.imageshack.us/img40/3236/gelocity4.th.jpg[/img:omvyq2s6][/url:omvyq2s6] [url=http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/534/gelocity1.jpg/:omvyq2s6][img:omvyq2s6]http://img534.imageshack.us/img534/9558/gelocity1.th.jpg[/img:omvyq2s6][/url:omvyq2s6]
