There are some problems with the map. VRad was bombing so no HDR for now. (I just want to get this thing uploaded so I can go to sleep!) Once I get HDR working I'll probably need to tweak the lighting some.

Problem #2: It's my first map and I'm new to mapping, more or less. (I did a little with UnrealEd for Deus Ex but that's it.)

3: The x.x megawatt button sticks once in awhile...? Dunno why it happens.

4: There is some annoying invisible thing that clips the player's movement right in front of the ball catcher. This will not affect gameplay.

This is a medium-length map with two endings. In one you die, in the other, cake. I know forcing death is a dirty trick. Sorry. Realizing your cake involves the companion cube.

To install:

Download the zip file and unzip it. The resulting file is a 'egg_level01.bmz'. This contains the .bsp, .bns and .tga files (and a README.) I don't have any challenges set at this time.

1) Place the egg_level01.bmz file anywhere on your system (recommended: root level of your hard drive, or else your ...\Steam\SteamApps\SUBJECT_NAME_HERE\Portal\Portal\maps directory)

2) Start Portal and click on the 'Bonus Maps' button.

3) Click the 'Import Maps' button and navigate to the location you saved 'egg_level01.bmz'. Select the file.

4) Open the 'egg_level01' folder in the Bonus Maps section.

4) Double-click the 'egg_level01' map.

5) Enjoy!

To Uninstall:

Navigate to your Portal maps folder and delete the egg_level01 folder. (Make sure and shut down Portal first.

I got both endings, the "no cake for you" ones it's very nice

but.. i don't understand when the companion cubes spawn.. probably you can highlight whith something when he comes down

Oh, and i liked very much the turret knockout _

Thanks. Do you mean you didn't know when it dropped? Easy enough to add an indicator for that--actually I'll need to rework the box dropper but it needs redoing anyways.

second time i've played the map. No companion cubes spawn, and no cake for me... Why?

drown a certain turret

um i have no idea how to get the cake i have played through it twice i hear alot of echoie mechanical sounds in the big fling room. but i don't know if that has anything to do with it, i can't find the damn wc cube

and OMG i LOVE the kick-turret button!! haha, but btw. there is a visual glitch on that thing. if you get up there beside the wall that kicks the turret the pole behind it (that drove the wall) can be seen "through" the wall.

That's odd, I haven't noticed that. Could you post a screenshot?

The companion cube comes from the same place the other cubes do. No need to backtrack to get it.

I think he was talking about his video, not your map.

yeah that is what he meant. infertnet is a asshole when it comes to doing "speed-runs" man that guy can make any map look like a chump lol

but about the wcc and cake.. what do i have to do to get the wcc cuz i tried EVERYTHING. i backtracked alot. i tried killing the cube, nothing seems to get me a wcc
dunno.
i'll try again. some day. and i'll also post the screen shot. i would tonight, but i just got my whole upper back tattooed. so i'm tired, soar, and ready to go take a shower. after that. bed.

edit: here's the glithes, and another thing i was wondering also they may contain spoilers (i dunno) so don't click on them unless you want spoilers

ALSO: i found a BIGBIGBIG problem. was that i still had Riven's PL3SENT debut thingie still installed. so i wasn't gertting the vcd's. didn't notice till i tried to let my son play the commercial map with all the turrets, can't think right now but really tired. anyway i replayed you map after uninstalling his stuff (that .image file that jammed portal) no telling how many maps i've played since that was installed that weren't up to their full potential because of it. BUT even that said i don't know what i'm doing wrong. but i can't seem to get the wcc. i was able to get 2 normal cubes, but don't know if that was worth anything.

Pics of tattoo?

You can get three boxes. Here's exactly how to get the wcc:

1) Drowning the first turret will put the wcc in the hopper. Drowning anything after that will drop the wcc. Drowning any other turret in either goo pool will get normal boxes.

[edit] This map should be pretty good for speed runs. I tried to keep speed runs in mind in the early stages at least. Puzzle wise, I know it can use some work.

1) sure. i'll post some in off topic some time soon. this is so far my BIGGEST tatoo it covers my whole shoulder blades (from the left side to the right) and i'm 6'3" with wide shoulders, so its about 20 inches wide and 4 inches tall or so, lol hurt like a mofo
and
2) damn. ok. i'll try that i don't normally drown or kill turrets incase i need them later, i never assume a mapper is going to give ~me~ the tools i ~need~ and usually keep turrets laying around incase i need them as backup cubes, also. if you throw your cube into the water. it doesn't respawn/give you a new one. which... could be a problem for finishing the map.

and y/w for the pics.

I'll have to see your run when I get home infernet89, work blocks YouTube.

Bugs fixed, a few more lights added and HDR. Windows still said vrad.exe crashed but it processed all the way through.

I noticed that I'm not getting expensive water. I'll have to read up on why.

89, there's a WAY faster route through that long hallway with all the ramps.

Also, I felt gypped. I brought my faithful companion cube into the elevator to escape with me, and I still got killed. I had to kill the companion cube in order to get the cake..

Yes, i know.. but i missed the jump at 1:08, so the only way form me was walking through the long hallway

For the cake ending, you should put in a proper level end. The way it is now, you just sit in the elevator until you escape out to the main menu.

I haven't learned how to do endings yet. Lots for me to do before I can get a proper level made. And you certainly were gypped, I never even considered the possibility. I'll have to fix that, one way or another.
