Too bad, people at valve are finishing up the final fixes for the update tomorrow, I don't think they have time to add new people to the beta

David said it was closed (ie, no more invites) almost 2 weeks ago.

I'm excited that the editor is coming out, but at the same time It kinda adds a half step to making some maps. I guess we'll all see once the final release is let loose upon us.

Hm? Only if you want it to. The editor is completely optional... I know I won't be using it, personally.

I wouldn't expect it for another 3-5 hours yet bros. I'm also checking thinkwithportals.com and my Portal 2 every so often though. xD

In the upload box, is there a [WIP] hashmark tag for people uploading things that they plan on expanding upon in the future, or to share with a few friends/forum-mates for feedback?

Also, valve tends to make things go live between noon and two, from my experience. I think that's pacific time, but it might have been eastern, I can't remember.

Well I nearly had a joy aneurism... Portal downloaded a file (way too small, though, I should have known better) and "Finalized installation" when I went to start it. What a tease.

Let's get some questions out of the way:
This is what you can add in the editor:

* Button
* Floor Button
* Cube Button
* Sphere Button

  • Cube
  • Companion cube
  • Sphere
  • Frenkencube

  • Funnel

  • Faithplate
  • Hard light bridge
  • Stairs

  • Fizzler

  • Glass/Grate
  • elevator
  • Moving platform

  • Laser emitter

  • Laser catcher
  • Laser relay
  • Laser redirection cube

  • Glass panel

  • moving panel (30, 45, 60 or 90 degrees I believe) (either portalable or not)
  • Flipping panel (portalable yes/no)
  • Observation room (light source)

  • Laser fields

  • Turret
  • Water
  • Lamps (light source)

  • Blue gel

  • Orange gel
  • White gel
  • Water

Indicator lights are done automatically.
That's what you can add... ... what you can build with it is up to you!

Question: The glass panel, can it be used as a collapsing (or button-controlled) floor panel mounted into a wall upside down?

Relax everyone!

Its about 8 am at Seattle, so most guys would probably be arriving at the office.

My guess is that it will be updated in the midday/evening based on previous updates. In no way is this an official estimate.
