Portal 101?

PreviousPage 2 of 3Next

Eck, sorry.

I meant to say something like,

"to fit something like rainbow palace there"

You know, start out with no portal gun, but you end with both.

Please, for the sake off your keyboard, lay off the enter key.

Why?

I know what you're thinking, and you're right.

Life is like a pipe, it's hard to get through and you're not always guaranteed a happy ending.

This idea is starting to sound less and less pluasable...

If done correctly it could be good, but you would have to start from scratch and give a guideline on visuals and the kinds of puzzles for each chamber. It would be incredibly random if a load of differently styled maps were put into one big flowing bundle. Not to mention it wouldn't flow it would be really wierd. Different GlaDOS voices would be expecially strange but yeah, whatever, if you want to commit I think there's a chance of it working well but everything needs to be synced.

How about then we don't aim for a big flow of levels, we just aim for a mappack - a big pack of community made maps that appear in the Bonus Maps part of the menu.

They aren't linked, they are just different maps. Therefore no problem with story and different GlaDOS voices because people know that they aren't meant to work in line with each other, but they are in fact just custom maps put into one big package.

someone already had this idea... and was going to try to snag peoples maps without their permission... now if it was "TWP" sanctioned.... it might work :P

do NOT click this

How about we just leave it as download the damn maps and leave it at that?

oh i agree. i was just saying that IF someone felt they just ~had~ to do a map pack (keep in mind it was a moderator that was going along with the idea) that it might be alot better and work better if it was TWP sanctioned. me personally i prefer to play them one at a time (that way i can easily delete the crappy ones)

You know, I see some really good maps, but I don't bother to download them.

It'll be much of a convenience to download a whole map pack, with maps from good mappers or bad mappers.
We need their permission of course.

You really didn't need to post that comment by the way. It's fun to have various ideas that may help in any way. No need to say something like "bah, forget this, no point."
It's not really worth to post something like that.
