They told me that about everything! I don't even know why they bother giving this stuff if they didn't want me to use it. It's pointless! Mad!

Picture that. In your dreams.

I didn't release it yet.

Quick Edit: *Faceplam* I forgot about the 1st one I made.

Wouldn't the portal make the water cover the whole map?
One time I was playing with toxic slime in the advanced aerial faith plates, by using sv_portal_placement never_fail and when I place a portal under water, it turned the whole screen brown, until I looked away from the portal.

Prop_portals are slightly different from regular portals.

No he means, if portals were real, and you were able to portal underwater all the water would come gushing out the original portal due to the presure from the weight of the water.

I think someone brought this up before the original portal was released. If you had
infiniportals set up (directly above and below) and ran water through it so it would fall for ever, you could put a water wheel in between and generate infinite power.

But of course, that would take place in the real world, where to water would quickly turn to mist from the speed due to the laws of hydrodynamics, and render the wheel useless...

OMG I can ramble on when I am bored... sorry.

A medium sized simple map I call "Secondary Fire" Its called that because of the fact that (when it's done) the player can only fire the Orange Portal. The chambers themselves are nothing to fancy in design or difficulty, I just like to make maps where the player only has one portal available to them.

Idk how to change the size of images and I don't want to make a photo bucket/image shack account at the moment so I'll just post the image links here.

There is a third room that part of the puzzle in the second picture, but it still needs work.

It's easy, and you don't need to create an account:

1. Max. width of images in the forum is 800p. Use for example "Office Picture Manager" to resize them until you get a width value under/equal to 800p (I use the % proportion tool). Then save.

2. Upload them to http://www.postimage.org/. This site is so simple and intuitive... and you pictures will last... how much? don't really know, but since I'm posting, none of my pictures have disappeared/been erased.

3. Post them by using the code between [img]and[/img] only (otherwise, you will introduce adds) from the "hotlink for forums" code you will be given.

That's all.

EDIT: I love your maps man! Impatient to test that new one "secondary fire"

Masterlagger, have you changed the $bottomtexture? I'd suggest just making it the same as the normal top texture, and it'll all be fine. Maybe the top texture with a $texturetint of blue...
