If you upload a newer version of something you have already uploaded it replaces the old one, I like it.

Version 2.0 of my first chamber is now up, fixed two huge mistakes I didn't think of at first.

Every map I make is unbuildable!

Hooray!

Even making an untouched, default map with no changes!

If it helps, I messed around with the actual game editor before, which I assume is the problem.

It's not a bad tool.

Took me 22 minutes to get up to scratch with the UI and remake the first chamber I ever made in hammer.

Probably not worth playing, doesn't have much a 'puzzle' and the most frustrating failure state you can imagine. I didn't check to see if you could tweak the jumper speed, which is how I alleviated the problem in Hammer.

Also hit 2 Error 10s and 1 Error 16 while publishing. Keep at it!

Sucks that it has to rebuild the puzzle each time it fails to upload. Oh well, after 3 tries, puzzle uploaded!

Simple puzzle, but a bit puzzleishishish.

Here's a quick (1 hour or so) chamber I built.

It's a large chamber full of smaller puzzles that link together.

I really like the maps from the "aperture science employee of the moment award" compilation. Completed 6 of them so far and they are pretty hard. Plus when i play them i get the feeling that i didnt solve them the "correct way", but "my way", like portal 1 felt and portal 2 somewhat lacked.

Does anyone know how to make a continuous line of angled platforms activate with a single button? I can use glass panels or angled panels, but I can only control one at a time... = (

I had a quick play with this, and am incredibly impressed with how slick and intuitive it is to use.

Especially compared to Hammer.

A few things I'd like to see improved

1: Let us pick our own level music
2: Let us pick our own level "theme" (run-down, normal, retro, wheatly)
3. Let us add decorations (cameras, dropped ceiling tiles, cracked walls with outsides peaking out, broken turrets)
4: Add bomb spawners, shatterable glass and conveyer belts

Select an entire wall (double-click), cursor over the edge of the yellow selection, it should change to a double-sided arrow. Click, drag.

After the update to Portal 2 which I assume is the DLC, my game won't even start up... it gets to the loading Portal 2 image and then it just closes

The editor is glitching out on me now. Something in the chamber kills me when I either just walk in a spot or flying in the air. I always die in the same place but I can't find the reason to why. I've spent almost 2 hours on this chamber, don't want to start over now.. :/

Transfer was easy for me. Unless I did it wrong. Either way it was poorly put together where you have to bounce to push the button in the same spot where there is a laser. Everything besides that spot was well designed.

I did get stuck on simplified. Had everything figured out up to where you use the funnel to get back up to the original area. I dont know why it didnt occur to me to just keep moving around the same portal for the second side of the funnel

I tried another of his levels. Industrial is kicking my ass.

edit: I guess I should play them in order! Industrial seems to be the last one.

Since this is just the announcement thread for the DLC I have made an official home to post all of your testing chambers!

GAF-verse Testing Archives | Post your Portal 2 test chambers here!

It's in the community section of gaming. Can't wait to see what you've all come up with! If you're feeling particularly creative, maybe post a cool screen of your chamber for better advertising. Happy testing all!

First map I made. More details at the post in the appropriate thread. I want to make difficult puzzles so tell me if I succeeded, but I want to avoid as much as possible the solutions that are difficult to execute even if you know how to do them.
