Oh my god that is three types of epic right there!
And it's only 30 seconds long!

Yeah seriously, just watching that start my brain thinking in the right direction. It's going to be almost like re-learning how to use Portals all over again from scratch.

Coop is going to extend Portal 2's life a lot, I can already tell.

Coop Mapping Contest anyone?

EDIT: BTW, msleeper, I am getting this weird glitch in the forum. Upon clicking the board index link at the top, even when I have read the last post, "News and announcements" shows up as unread.

I'm gonna coordinate with Nickworks/Sven over at myAp, because I would hate for us to plan contests that overlap eachother. Everyone would lose out if that happens. But I've talked to a few people who can sponsor a contest and I think we can get a big money prize for a Portal 2 release Co-Op contest.

That is very odd, I can't seem to reproduce that error...

I might have to play it. Have you uploaded it here? If not then you should!

By which you mean this?

That's not mine. That's omnicoder's. He is banned.
If you meant my vague idea, I will be making a demo map of the concept next week to see if it is fun or not.

EDIT: If you are going to make a release contest for portal 2, you will need to give people time to :
-play through the game
-Play through the co-op
-Set up hammer to work with portal 2

Contests usually run for at least 2 months, to give people adequate time to get things built. I imagine coop maps are going to be a major bitch to build and playtest. Plus, this is assuming the SDK will be ready for Portal 2 day-of release, which if you remember, wasn't the case for Portal 1 and generally isn't the case for any game.

So I guess by "Portal 2 release contest" I really mean "Portal 2 SDK release contest".

All of the previous forum bans were lifted because 1.) we upgraded forum versions, and 2.) I totally don't care anymore. So tell him to upload his shit!

Considering that the ban was caused by some random person throwing you some chat log that you accepted without any further investigation I'm surprised you didn't care to reinstate it, but I'll be happy to upload my stuff here and answer mapping question. Except that there is no upload button anywhere.

There should be an "Upload a File" link in the top part of the page, when you navigate to the category you want to upload in. Like if you go to Portal 1 Files -> Released Maps, there should be the link. If not, let me know.

Oh, very weird. Try now. I assumed your permissions before and I could see it, so if it's not showing up (at least now) then I'll have to dig deeper.

Still nothing.

Give it a shot now.
