I have increased the desirability of this central control point by 75% using only this large floating oreo cookie UFO.

Yea I tried modifying the sendificator script but I can't really get anything from it.

If I get it to work without lag I'll send it to you. Your framework for this works much better than mine at the moment.

Would you like a copy of my instances that I use for the 3 weapons (portalgun AR2 gravitygun) all loaded into an example map?

(The instance is honestly probably confusing for other people with so many triggers and logic entities to handle all the weird IO but it seems to work for me well enough)

Thanks. I'm interested what exactly gives realism here?

I really like the camera placement here. Everything, from the sunlight to the rows of computer cabinets to even the general "gestalt" of the image makes your eye focus on that red button, which looks like a really important game objective.

If you're going to put this room in a map, make sure that the player sees it first from this exact angle!

the irony is that i didnt even notice the button. XD

mostly the fact that moss is acually growing on the computers. the realism is that this place is dirty and rusty everywhere, not just in some places. to keep up the good work, i'd suggest ideas from this blog (not mine):

Living up to your username, huh?

Looking really nice.Do agree - I like how your focus goes right to that red button.

I want to make some story mappack (like forever) but i'm always not sure about gameplay and story. So that's where you come in. What kind of story and gameplay (not usual puzzle, more bts) you would like? It's gonna be in overgrown/destroyed setting for sure somewhere before/parallel to p2 story. I need your opinion.

here's an idea: it takes place just before portal 2. you are an employee who has woken up on the floor of your office; which seems to have been abandoned for an extremely long time. the last thing you remember is that you were working on some kind of project- a special type of medicine that could heal anything instantly. You remember hearing people running and screaming down the hall from your desk while green gas of some type filled the area, and you remember very quickly having to spill a small container of the medicine on your skin in hopes of surviving the sudden onset of the deadly gas. you now get up and begin to explore, and it seems that the liquid medicine you took is far better than you thought it could potentially be.

gameplay: exploration based puzzles would require you to find ways to dispense the medicine; by turning old rusted valves which connect to the storage tanks and allowing it to flow through the pipes. the puzzles would require you to stand under streams of it coming from broken pipes or dripping down ceiling tiles, which would make you immortal from any damage for a short time. the reason it only works for a short time is because the madicine has been sitting in those tanks a long time, and now has a much shorter half-life than the original dosage. (half-life, as in, the actual scientific term, not the game.)

if you use this or a modified version of it, please credit me for the initial idea.

Great job d3m0l1sh3r, there is a strong feeling in this corridor. I like how you teased us with a clean version of it previously

And tile, awesome storyline !

Oh hey I can embed stuff now.

Well I can't embed images.

That doesn't look like Portal. The thing with the stairs is more like a house. Also, it doesn't look like you've done a lot yet.

aha, i knew it wouldn't take too long before somebody noticed the similarity!

it wasnt meant to be tf2 medic stuff though; it's supposed to be aperture science liquid medicine of some kind. i wrote that knowing that portal 2 has water particles and clear water gel that could be easily used to make this work.

REALLY like the updated portal 1 style here! all of portal 1's bts style without any of portal 1's outdated-ness.
