Portal Hate Vol. 01 (An IWBTG inspired portal map) [RELEASE]
Quote from tijitdamijit on August 1, 2008, 9:03 pmI wanna be the guy is awesome, nuff said. It's not pretty, but the design is awesome.
I've made a map that has a lot of well-thought out design, eg design that puts a lot of thought into the puzzles, instead of just trying to make it look pretty.
Basically, it uses techniques like misdirection to put you off, and I never repeat anything twice. Each room has it's individual puzzle.
PLEASE DO NOT TELL ME I AM UNFAIRLY KILLING THE PLAYER.
I'm unexpectedly killing the player. There is a huge difference. You just gotta observe how I kill you, and then avoid that happening again.Here is the link:
DOWNLOADAGEIt autosaves, so don't quicksave or it might mess up some stuff.
[spoiler]Eg, if you quicksave after activating the trigger next to the box that opens the door to the headcrabs, then load your game the headcrabs will no longer instantly kill you if they bite ya. This is due to the fact console commands starting with sk_.. aren't saved when the game is saved. I guess you can do this if you're having trouble, coz the headcrabs battle often relies more on luck than skill. Or, you could just keep going without killing them, and they'll all just catch fire anyway.[/spoiler]Let's face it, very few of you will actually get both or even one of the solutions to this map, so here's the walkthrough, with both solutions:
linkI spent a LOT of time playtesting this map, so please don't just disregard it
But rest assured, there will not be a volume two, unless people want me to, of course XD

Quote from reepblue on August 2, 2008, 8:20 pmNodraw/Out of area (Black) part of the map is a bad idea! I believe you should go back and learn the basics.

The more you give, the less appreciated it will be received.
Quote from Duffers on August 2, 2008, 8:30 pmYeah, I'd like to say if you're gonna do something like this in PORTAL you should capitalize on surprise deaths rather than frustrating the player. Make them enjoy being killed, or at least laugh at it.

Quote from tijitdamijit on August 2, 2008, 10:32 pmWell.. noone seems to like what I've done :/
And to think I made an iwbtg inspired portal map without a single spike :O
Well.. I'm starting from scratch, but this time you'll be able to use the portal gun a lot more and the puzzles aren't so stupid.
And there will be spikes
here's a preview:

Quote from reepblue on August 3, 2008, 12:04 amMore nicely done. But is the floor lifting up causing a leak? Make sure to keep your maps closed in from the black outer space. Think of your map as a village and think of the outer space as the monster trying to break in. It will cause problems with most thing.
Also, Your map looked like it had default lighting. Lighting is a hard task, but running away from it is not an option... Wait? Why am I telling you this? read those wikies now!

Quote from ultradude25 on August 5, 2008, 9:18 amThere is no friggin' way this should be in Releases, it doesn't even qualify for a WIP.
I couldn't record a video because of how fucked up this map is and whenever I tried it just froze the game. I did manage to get some portions of it recorded but i think the videos are corrupted due to the game crashing while they were recording.
This map even managed to break Portal in such a way that I couldn't open console or load any maps without restarting it.IMO you should permanently delete this map from the downloads area so it shall never have to harm anyone else's eyes with it's shittyness.
Will edit if the videos manage to upload without exploding the internet.
Edit: Well I can show you the Vids but you can't really see much 'cos most of the recordings didn't actually record.
