Double post Anywho, I know that this site is dying and I suggest that if you release anything here, also release it on Portal Game Maps to get the most distribution. This site, yes, is dying.

And as a footnote to my previous post, at the rate my map-pack is moving, it should be just in time for the Portal: 2 hype :lol:

The more you give, the less appreciated it will be received.

This is a pretty subjective statement. TWP has never been a terribly hopping joint, with a trickle of maps coming out. It still sounds like this is the case, and traffic graphs look about how I would expect for a game that's been out over a year with no DLC. Interestingly, overall traffic has been pretty stable for the last three months.

So far the only one saying TWP is dying is you.

Maybe TWP needs to expand. Lets start a HL2 and TF2 map site...

I think we need incentives again, like the mapping contests, or a more active community. alas, the portal fan base is not what it once was, and I fear, its reduction in size is bringing this site with it D:

Well, there's still a handful of people who mod for Portal, even a few total conversions.

lol, I know.
I think i'm going to have to make my map-pack into a mod, it's getting huge!! (125mb zipped, and it's only 3/4 done D:)

Anybody know how to make a portal mod? (lol)

Shouldn't that be its own thread?

Dont zip it, use 7z or RAR. RAR isnt as good as 7z though.

Also why make it a mod if it is just a map pack?

I actualy agree with portalfan, why make a mod if you aren't changing the source code, a mod has a bigger file size.

Is TWP Dying?
