Aperture Files
Hi,I'm new to the forum and I've eventually decided to start making a map for Portal.It will have 19 challenges,Challenge 00 and 01 are complete so far.Each testchamber is a seperate map file.No release date yet.
Here is challenge 00:

I've made a new extension for the Aperture Science Vital Apparatus Vent,called the Cube Constrainer.When the Vital Apparatus vent is in a testchamber that doesn't have a floor below it,this device will hold the cube beneath the vent.

I'm out of ideas for future challenges again,so if anyone wants to give me ideas I will consider them as challenges in my map.Please let me know what you think.
Hey and welcome to Thinking with portals!
If you want to upload your map to the database, one of the mods will move it to the release forum.
Can't wait to give the map a run through 
heh,I won't be uploading the map for a while,it's going to have 19 challenges,only 00 and 01 are made yet 
.
Same i said on Interlopers, looks great, cant wait to play it when it comes out.
You raised my hopes and dashed them quite expertly sir!
When making this thread I didn't say anything about releasing 
.
True, but you also didn't specify how many maps you were making, whether or not these would be released now, or in a pack. There was much you left out. Saying you had completed maps and provided screen shots, its easy to believe you were releasing them for play/testing.
Ok,sorry.I've edited the original post.
.Understandable that you would wait some, but please dont wait for all 19; some preliminary feedback on what you have already done (on the 1st 4 challenges, lets say) can greatly change the way you map the rest, and WHAT you map (ie the challenge may not be there). It would be unfortunate if you put in a lot of work, but it all fell apart because you didnt account for some player ability, etc. "You mean I really need portal_bumpers? My goo doesnt look good enough? My buttons can be opened with cameras? Now I've got to got to change all occurances in all 19 levels. . . . "
My Buttons can't be opened with cameras,it has a filter.I have Portal bumpers setup where needed,I am detailing the challenges making sure everything is working properly.Only 2 challenges in it so far so no point in releasing.
