Should the main Puzzle Editor page talk more about canon? I think I'll sign up and add that information.

I think you want the Portal Wiki. The Valve Developer Community Wiki is strictly mapping related.

I made a navbox that I am quite proud of:

https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wik ... ker-navbox

It should be at the bottom of each of those pages now.

Technically, it is strictly development related. That could mean modelling, texturing, programming, etc; not just mapping.

Should we add custom P2Editor elements to that page, in a separate category? Like in the Portal 2 Level Design page?

I sit corrected. I forgot about all that stuff.
BTW: Nice Navbox.

Edit: I see no one has yet copied my information posted about the Reflection Cube yet. Hmm... maybe I'll just create an account myself.

Bump. There's still a lot of articles listed as "stubs" that need either more information explained or images added. Let's do this thing!

I'll add the item properties where they are missing (just copy & paste from an article that has them, mostly) and see if I can add some pictures. If anyone else is working on this, please post a reply here so we don't do it doubled.

You might as well sticky this thing msleeper, at least for a while. You can just take it down once the wiki's got all the relevant info on it.

Indeed? I thought you were going to link to the aperture science robot trust video. We actually have Easy-Off BAM in australia but the ads are different.

It's a little late (I just registered here), but I created the P2C page originally, and I've been working on decoding all of the item properties to determine their meanings. Most of them are pretty obvious, but there's a few that can be tricky (and a few things are set up unintuitively). I'll update the wiki with documentation on them all once I finish the last item (the launchers - trying to figure out the formula it uses to turn start position + target position + height into speed).

The last thing you should be doing is editing the public wiki.

"Portal Design Theory" IS sitting there in red text. My question is, what is meant to go into that section? Is it meant to be tips on what a makes a good map or something?
