Hey there, I dont know how many of you make your way to ModDB... but I'm BenVlodgi, the creator of Portal 2: Back-Stock.
I'm looking for a few more mappers, so I can get this Mod out a little faster, and make it a little easier on myself, right now we have a stable mod base, 12 finished chambers, and a pretty good story line. we have modelers, texture artist, voice actor, a music makers, the only thing I need more of is mappers.
I'm not "Ideas Guy" who wants you to make my mod for me. We've already got a lot done, but now the only thing stopping this mod from being released is how long it will take me to make the rest of the chambers.

So If you're interested, I'm looking for someone who:

- Knows the Portal 1, and portal 2 style well- Has at-least 1 year in the SDK, preferably at-least 2- Can keep secrets- Can make quality maps

So if you would like to join the Team or have questions, respond here, or email me at [email protected]

You also realize there's no such thing as a "mod" for Portal 2, right?

Well, it's a partial conversion of Portal 2. A partial conversion counts as mod (ex. Portal Prelude). Why don't you think it's a mod?

Actually the first post I made, was looking for maps specifically, we got a few nice ones. but now I'd rather just have mappers instead.

This is a Mod in the sense that is not a map you load up in the portal 2 console... basically what MasterLagger said.

Well it is possible to fake a mod. Whoever made 'The Core' created one that went into the sourcemods folder.

One thing we can't do... MULTIPLAYER CAMPAIGN!
rant
Stupid Valve, not releasing source code, being all secretive.. grumble

Technically what he made was a mod.... a piece of crap mod, but still a mod
I'm sure all he did was follow this guide How to make your own Portal 2 mod, which is currently the only way to make p2 mods.

We could make a multiplayer campaign, but it would be slightly difficult, and how you would judge how far each player has gone would also be a complicated topic

You could have always just made a new reply saying "Hey we're looking for mappers now!" and changed the title.

Just saying.

As long as you have a distinct purpose for bumping it wouldn't be the most undesirable action. We just don't like it when people post "yeah me too" in a two year old thread.
