what can I do? due to viruses, I lost microsoft work :/

Just stop posting, really. Maybe if you spent as much time working on your maps as you did posting incoherent posts, it might be done.

I'm not a grammar nazi, I'm a "stop from making yourself look like an idiot nazi". I'm doing you a favor.

I'm sorry. I feel I have to interject here.
kizzycocoa: I don't know what you're thinking. you do not have something containing 83 elevators, maps and content to go with all of those in a paltry 20 mb.
Now, Remmiz was, at the start, being somewhat overly critical. But by this point I'm sorry to say you've lost all credibility. Seriously. 83 elevators.
Hint: You're doing something VERY wrong.

how that would work is a normal portal gun, a portal gun that slows people down, a portal gun that hurts the person who enters the portal, a potal gun with a 10 second delay and a portal gun with a secondary shooting option.
however, it would be too much XD"

Either you're high, drunk, a clever troll or just insane. we *ALL* "toy around" with those ideas. Then we realize they're never going to happen. Perhaps you should too.

If, however, this beta proves to be as good as you (and your testers) suggest. I shall stand thoroughly corrected, everything shall be taken back, and I'm fairly certain the entire community shall bow before you.

well, I can't see any obvious mistakes. unless you took one or two and blew them out of proportion :/

um, do you even know the predicted release date?
we plan the release in janurary.
2010
and there may be more releases.

so, we're still at the concept stage. hell, this mod could be very big at the end :S
and-as I have said before-I DOUBT this mod will cause a huge stur. many of my team think it's too big, I think it's simple once we have the complicated hub out the way. we plan to release in MONTHS, not days. more time to work on it=better quality.

Why the hell are you posting information about it now then? Bloody hell man, you are the worst PR person I've ever seen. Everyone on this forum thinks your mod is going to be half-assed, terrible and completely unplayable because of these obscene previews you have told us about and your complete lack of knowledge in the modding field.

we plan to release a beta soon. that's why.
the full version is available later.
the beta features all sections shown so far.
I believe many mods have done that so far.
let me just browse moddb and I'll give an example
*checks*
Portal: Project-Beta
Half-Life 2 Portal
Aperture D?j? vu

not to say in any way they will be bad, but they have all released a demo and are working on a real version.
we are doing the same, only we are more behind than them, and due to bad beginnings, we have a bad reputation. not that many other comments have helped, such as "it's completely rubbish" and "I can't wait to poop on it"

and yes, we have put these threads out early. for 2 reasons.
1)we had no publicity, and I needed a group as I couldn't make this on my own. and I was very lucky to get who I got.
2) to see if our idea was even remotely likable.
so far, we have only had 3 negative responses, 9 negative responses, but with helpful tips, and 19 positive responses (all mainly based on forum replies, comments etc.)

so, sure. insult my PR skills as much as you want. but we have achieved what these posts and profiles were primarily created for. (bolded to avoid even further arguments)

ok, looking back, that did seem a little uncalled for. sorry if it was a bit too "in your face" :(
but these threads had 3 purposes to be honest.

1)to help get a team together.
2)to try and get the public opinion on the mod idea.
3)to show that we're trying to revive portal. as (to be completely honest) things are very quiet here.

and this is my favorite game ever. it would be pretty hard to find one better! I don't want it to die :D

I agree, it's my favorite game too and I don't want it to die either.

But I'm thinking you've got almost everyone here expecting something we've never seen before and it's going to be great if not superior. With the way you're talking it up sometimes it makes me wonder if your not digging yourself a hole. This group is not easy to impress.

:wink:

Actually, we may be hard to impress, but everyone is. If You make a map that is just an empty room, then no-one will be impressed.
