Hey guys, complete newbie here. I was hoping to get some feedback on some Portal 2 maps I've made, entirely with the PeTI editor.

Here's my workshop:
http://steamcommunity.com/id/lavalamp37 ... tion=items

There are 4 in there at the time of posting, and of those Spelunking is the newest and probably the hardest.

Hypercube is a fairly big map, but unfortunately I hit the item limit part way through making it, so it starts off strong but then tails off towards the end. Still a good map though I think.

Tricksy was the first one I made and I'm fairly pleased with how that one came out.

Logic was merely a showcase/experiment. As the description for Logic says there was meant to be another room that unfortunately made it run much too slowly.

Part of the third room would have been a 4 bit counter made from a clock signal generator and 4 T flip flops which in total required approximately 50 components (LASERs, relays and catchers), and many more connections. If anyone is interested I can provide a screenshot of this created in the game and explain how I made the various gates. Fun fact: the most efficient shape for 4 T flip flops in Portal 2 appears to be a swastica.

Anyway, this post has gone on for a while, so I'll wrap it up. I would appreciate any and all feedback on my maps, positive or negative. I seem to find this mapping lark interesting so anything that would help me to make better maps in future would be useful.

Shouldn't be too difficult for a normal player.

At the beginning it was quite simple as you said, but it was trickier at the end. Might have been the way I solved it though, I didn't use the redirection cube and I'm not 100% sure on how I would.

Took me a minute or two to get the "trick" to this one, but after that it was solved without incident.

Here's my very first map. It's disgusting, but you could just imagine the joy I felt when I was done it. Here's a screenshot of Symmetry, which can be downloaded from here.

Also, I made a remake of a classic pen-and-paper puzzle. Nine is a Lucky Number can be downloaded from here.

The second one was not a unique concept and the first one was disgusting. I'm working on a map that I think looks good. Here's a screenshot.

Hello everyone !
This is my second map. A little bit tricky but rather short test. Don't forget to rate and/or provide any feedback if you think this room needs some optimizing !

Fixed a few exploits in Advanced Launch, so I re uploaded it.

If you like excursion funnels and complex logic, this is the perfect map for you. Involves the reuse of elements, momentum, faith plates, and thinking outside the box.
