Work In Progress
Split Co_OP
This is my Second map that I have created and I figured I should post in the WIP forum before I post into the released forum. I would like comments on what I should change to make my map better. Play instructions: Unzip the map from the archive and place in your Steam/steamapps/common/portal 2/portal2/maps folder. Both players have to downloaded the map. Start a normal co-op game and whoever is hosting (the Blue Robot) type in "changelevel mp_coop_split" in the console (which is activated by the ` key under ESC. Updated some more textures and fixed an unintended way to solve the puzzle. Just figured out how to use moveable panels, and I added some. Added lots more movable panels. Added some sounds, fixed another unintended way to solve the puzzle, optimized it more, and changed more textures. *More looks changes. P.S. Please give input on what you like and dislike, so I can improve my map.
The Test
A two-room map featuring a few different puzzle elements. This is, essentially version 0.3. I want to add more decorations, but I'm looking for feedback on what I've got so far. I intend to add more puzzle elements to the second puzzle room. I just wanted to get this out there to see if people think I'm on the right track. I've included both the bsp and the vmf. [Edit] I had used a hacked version of the arrival_departure_transition_ents which might have caused some problems. I've switched over to msleeper's version, which works much better, and is available here: Good Enough For Science (Instance Example + VMF) Added a few more puzzle elements, and switched to animerunt's transitions instance: arrival_departure_transition_ents O
Misplaced Conversion
I thought about it and realized that Conversion Gel and Excursion Funnels were never really used together in the single-player or co-op campaigns. I have taken a stab at fixing that. This is the first map I felt remotely comfortable about uploading in such an early state. It's a work-in-progress for my Summer Mapping Initiative map, so we'll see how it goes. I'd love to hear some constructive criticism; I know the map's not perfect (it's definitely not right now, still very early and cobbled together) but I think it could be a pretty neat little test chamber once it's all said and done. Modified arrival/departure transition vmf courtesy MSleeper, who has been super-helpful with all the scrubby questions I've had so far. v0.5 Update - - LOTS of retexturing/detailing. Texturing - Fairly far along. Getting there, but not perfect yet. Detailing - Making some good headway on this. It's starting to look the part of a Wheatley chamber. Lighting - Mostly natural lighting at this point. Might add some to the bottom region, but not sure. Props - Comin' along. There's some stuff to look at.
Oblivious Paranoia
UPDATED 31/05/2011 -op_level3 finished! Starting on level 4... The campaign currently ends after the time travelling test. It lasts maybe 15 minutes if you're band new to it. To load up the maps type "map op_level1" Contains: -Custom Textures -Paint -Flinging -Time Travel -Laser death beams The tests aren't TOO difficult so far, but once it's finished I plan on making some REALLY complex ones - so stay tuned!
playground 1.5
co-op map made to be run in cheats. please enjoy information in the instructions and the vmf. hs been included, contact info at bottom of instructions, tell your friends! oh and sorry for crappy look im focusing on that right before i release. oh and I guess the included vmf. was limited time only cause im removing it.
Map Test
This is my first map for Portal 2. Don't expect valve quality, as this is my first time using a map editor. I'm still learning the tools, and will continue to add to this map. The start of the map is not the actual start that I am planning, and the end is not the actual end either. Any feedback would be nice Steam: xF099Yx
Deception
Currently working on my first map for Portal 2, and while I did a bit of dabbling with hammer when halflife 2 and then when Portal 1 came out nothing came of it. Anyway, this is the 2nd room from my larger map, that I like some feedback on You enter this test chamber through a broken door from the previous test chamber. So far: Puzzle done (might need tweaking - hence the testing haha) Texturing - in progress (50%+ done i'd say) Detailing - in progress The rest of the map isn't with this as yet, as i've been learning as I go so the first room and some other things I won't go into (spoiler for the map otherwise lol) are in the process of being redesigned/updated. Btw, this rooms puzzle will be part of a larger puzzle. Any comments about anything in it is helpful!
Anglelasers
This room teaches you a new way to handle reflectorcubes. It will be a gate to some more difficult puzzles involving this mechanic. Its purely a mechanic teaching testchamber, so dont expect a devilishiously complex puzzle. (yet)
Cube Dance
These test require you to throw the cube around. I haven't bothered to figure out elevators yet. The test goes through three rooms and then begins repeating itself. Let me know what you think. I'm pretty satisfied with it, but to be honest, I'm pretty new and have no idea what I'm doing.
Deceptively Easy
This is a quick (roughly 10 seconds long) map that I made using various tutorials as I learned how to use the Hammer Editor. The idea behind the map is to make you think of how to reach the door. The map consists of a single room, with various "opportunities" to reach the other side. You can try your best, but the answer to this puzzle is quite simple.
