Ugh, seeing this really makes me wish I was one of those testing it. It looks really interesting to use.

However there is one thing I wonder, well quite a few things but I'll go into my #1 question first, how does the lighting work? Does it work like instances? For example if I wanted an observation room to be my light source is there some sort of editing involved, or is it basically just an instanced Observation Room like the ones we can access in Hammer? I honestly don't know why that's been bothering me but it has so I thought I'd ask.

I honestly don't know.

I'ts using a newer model format that Portal 2 currently doesn't support, the the models can still be decompiled and recompiled into an older format.

i'm really looking forward to this. i played lots of custommaps from this site (most where between "good" and "OMG i cant believe how awesome this is". And while i enjoyed using mapeditors in other games (especially trackmania) a lot, i gave up frustrated (twice) when i tried to use hammer for portal2 maps.

So excited and cant wait this thing gets released (while i do understand closed beta is important needs time, no intention to start any commentwars on that). dont wanna bore you with further details. </ >

In short, anything you can add is an instance. There is an observation room instance, and a light panel instance. They don't have any parameters.

Looks like there will be more info tomorrow: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/s ... ?t=2668009

Today's the big day, this night they will publish a trailer, and editor will come in May 8th

Here it is: http://www.gametrailers.com/video/exclu ... l-2/729578

Looks like 8th of May is the day.

Unnofficial preview: edited by petition (lol).

Is this allowed yet? I thought it was all hush till the 8th.

Wasn't this video already shown and removed from a thread because Valve didn't want anyone to see it yet? It's probably best to keep the video down and off the internet for awhile.

Doug couldn't keep his mouth shut. -___-

Okay, Okay, but in the comments people is saying that a Valve employee aproved this on steam forums u.u .

they didn't approve it, they just don't have time to chase down all the reuploads of this video.
They have a deadline, and I don't think there will be Valve time.

Why must my holiday with NO internet access intersect with the sacred date of release, 8th May?!

All I know is that I'm going to be making over 99999999999999999999.99999999999% more maps than I have been!

I can't wait for the release!

Here is the editor in use!

Really, really nice!

That looks really, really good. My only complaint is that it seems like you can't use elevators? It would be nice to be able to use the destroyed and old Aperture themes too, hopefully they'll add that at some point, but I'm so pumped for this! xD

Elevators are added automatically!

You cannot choose theme, it's all modern in the multiverse!

Look! Look! LOOOOOK!
I'm on the internet- while on holiday
Sadly I cannot try this out untill I come back though
