Tomorrow i will try all of gaf's map, as of now i don't have any idea for one of my own.

 

[Xyber]

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.

[Steaks]

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.

 

[Aon]

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.

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=68497865

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!

 

[Drkirby]

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

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=68499836


Simple puzzle, but a bit puzzleishishish.

 

[fluffydelusions]

Needs links in OP to GAF builds. Wow, already 2,200 chambers lol

 

[NBtoaster]

How do you make something activate when you block a laser?

edit:nvm figured it out

 

[balladofwindfishes]

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.

 

[Feep]

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... = (

 

[MrNyarlathotep]

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

Especially compared to Hammer.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

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

 

[Drkirby]

I also hope they allow people to make custom Objects and easily distribute and allow importing of them.

 

[Themacabre]

Fairly straightforward, short map. Some thinking required (but not much).

[ShockingAlberto]

So, uh, how do you make bigger rooms?

 

[fluffydelusions]

Wow, nearly 1000 new chambers added since my last post a hour or so ago lol

 

[Jocchan]

Loving the editor.

But is there cake? Also, nice to see Portal 2 overtaking MW3 as most played game on Steam

 

[Themacabre]

Over 8000 maps. Good lord.

Seriously. I love Hammer, but wowzers.

 

[shysaursoft]

So, uh, how do you make bigger rooms?

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

Unistall the old editor...just read what the help says
EDIT: Then revalidate your Portal 2

 

[HoosTrax]

Is this for real? (the award I mean)

I think it's for real since it was collected by a Valve-related user account?

 

[epmode]

Well, I liked his Transfer map!

 

[Lionel Mandrake]

Just tried out the Valve Employee of the Moment collection. God, it's great to have some real Portal challenges again. I'm really rusty though. Got stuck on Transfer. I'll have to try again tonight.

 

[NBtoaster]

Tried to make good use of a companion cube..

[Medalion]

Things aren't so good
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

:/

 

[Xyber]

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.. :/

 

[I H8 Memes]

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

Spoiler

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

Made a timelapse compressing 30ish minutes down to a few

[Stallion Free]

I made a map: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=68487947

Edit: made a small mistake on the map. Link is to fixed one.

I love you Bus, that was great.

 

[loborzelda]

My first completed test chamber!...It's not that difficult.

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.

 

[Medalion]

Ironically got it working on another computer, my macbook
The tool is fun and has lots of potential, can't wait to try out other people's creations!

 

[DarkKyo]

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!

 

[The Technomancer]

Holy shit...this interface is amazingly slick.

 

[Bjoern the Smexy]

Suddenly I can't rebuild my map for testing D:

 

[Forsaken82]

At the rate that the chambers are coming in, i doubt any of my chambers will ever be seen...

 

[Cramoss]

So, we can see and play maps from other people in an easy way right?

Just subscribe to them in the workshop and they sync up to your Portal 2 game the next time you load i think

 

[Shahadan]

Just did my first map, which is complete shit but I had fun ans used almsot everything. Nice.

 

[Takamura-San]

Excellent start!

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Are you guys labeling them as GAF?

 

[the TMO]

After using the editor I just want a Vita version of Portal 2: I'm in the office thinking in portal.

 

[MrNyarlathotep]

Just made this 'The Bounce' :

Game called Portal.

Not a single portalable surface.

Just saying.

 

[KScorp]

Posted this in the other thread, but I want some more exposure.

The Intern

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.

 

[sykoex]

Have you guys seen any good gel-focused maps?

I've got one coming up, if I do say so myself. = D
