console commands
Also... why quadruple post?
I just tested your map, nice work! It was quite tricky really, but i managed to get by. Keep the maps coming my friend!

heres a version with another room before it. I'm going to keep extending it, but i don't know where to go from here, so it may be a while.

I know that.
But try to keep them down to a minimum.
I'm going to try your level out now. 
Again, not bad EMUGOD. Although, since you don't know what to do next, I'll give you some suggestions.
First of all, I don't think everyone is familiar with the PIP concept since it was never really offcially introduced in the game. Secondly, even though it is quite an awesome "trick" it can (and will) quickly get annoying since you always have to (quick)save and (quick)load. What i would like to see would be a bit more simple and/or perhaps abstract pussels/maps.
I'd personally love to see maps where you have to use momentum/the flinging concept to get by a map. Moreoever i'd like to see maps where your success i more based on "instinct"/reaction. Such as quickly portaling to an open area only to discover that a buttload of crates are falling down on you and you have to get away etc.
Other than that i just hope you can keep mapping to be honest. I have neither time nor really any motivation on doing maps myself.
One last thing though; Your "spikes" and cake model are/were terrible but understandeble. Try to use another texture on the spikes so they don't look like they are made from honeycomb metal. Make them more solid!
Anyway, still nice & good enough EMOGOD. Keep the maps coming!

Sorry for double posting but since you can't edit the messages i had to do this.
First of all, spelling error by me. I meant EMUGOD at the end of my former message not EMOGOD.
Secondly, wouldn't it be better if we renamed this thread to "EMUGOD's Portalmaps"? That would make way more sense than "Console commands".

I'm kind of a noob to all this map making stuff.
Portal is a really fun game but its way too short so i started looking around for maps and ended up here.

Extract the map to your portal/maps directory then launch portal, open console and type "map pip"
Have fun playing

Hi Furious, download the .zip, inside the winrar file there is a pip.bsp - extract that to your SteamApps - Username - Portal - Portal - Maps folder, then in game, enable console from keyboard > advanced. In console, type "map pip"
No offence, but don't expect much. It's not exactly... good. It's sort of hard to explain until you play it but EMUGOD... keep at it, and I know its WIP.

Damn, beat me to it. 
My left portal wouldnt shoot, and i had no where to shoot at to even teleport.
you load the map, and die from the trap within 3s and nowhere to go?
guess i should try your first one, since there wasnt really anything to 'test' beyond how to die in 2nd XD
Ignore the part bout 1 portal not working.. forgot i remapped my key temporarily trying to beat 13a gold >< (moved E to left mouse for easier hitting lol)
Nice surprise at the end of the 2nd one! lol
