Story

GLaDOS,as soon as he was activated,discovered that Aperture Science had another building in Europe.Even if it was older than the main building,GLaDOS's plan was to take control on it,too.The employers,howerer,weren't adviced of the failed experiment of GLaDOS and they continued to do experiments.GLaDOS,after some attempts,breaked though the main computer of the other ASEC building and took control of it remotely.GLaDOS killed every employee with deadly traps such the neurotoxin.After killing the employees,it's time for test subject n?8 to go through the deadly Portal test...

Screenshots

In these screens the crosshair has been disabled for a better view of the map.

This next screenshot represents an unfinished piece of the 2nd test chamber.It WILL be changed in the final version (also look at the observation room:it has desks only!)

However, you need to work on your lighting. One light in each room set to 800 is not going to work. There are tutorials out there for observation room lighting, wall lights, etc. Even if you do use a single light, at least make sure it's the right color, as described here. You have to scroll down a bit, but a post is there about lighting colors.

Pretty much this.

Your geometry is very plain.

In the first screenshot,the light comes from a little light in the ceiling (you can't see in the screenshot but it's in the map and in the video)
In the second one,the light comes from the observation room (near the ashpd) and from an hole in the ceiling (it isn't in the screenshor but it is in the video)
In the third one the light comes from the observation window but there is another light object near the turret that hasn't a source.I'm going to fix it with all the other light sources.
Also i know that my geometry is plain but that's just my style

btw GLaDOS is a she.

Thanks for linking to my map

Here's the lightning lesson:

Quote:
Now here's a lesson that every mapper should learn before they start mapping.

When you create a light source go into its properties and set the constant option to "200,000" this will make it so that areas are neither overbright or underbright.

Now, for something more portal related:

The standard colour for all portal chambers is "183 204 218"

For BTS areas, buttons and box dropper parts the colour used is "251 159 57"

Now, if you ever forget this, i will murder you.The amount of people i see don't do this is really, really annoying

EDIT:
Sorry, just read the post above.

I agree with sleeper. Maps that have plain geometry like this one look amateurish to say the least.

What I note on this video is that one cannot either rate or comment on it. Is that because you don't want a whole bunch of 1s and comments like "you (aren't good, except more offensive) at mapping and at playing at once", or is this topic the only place to comment (unlikely, because the video doesn't link to this topic)?

a. the lighting
and
b. the poles for the moving platform thins aren't the ones used in portal

other than that it looks a ton better than mine!!!

p.s. that's why I make gmod maps, cuz it really doesn't matter for detail much
