"The Lab" - Unfinished custom Portal level

[dracula103192]

im all new to this so how do i make custom portal levels on Portal 1 because i only recently beat portal 1.

[will4210]

damn you mat_fullbright. Actually, it is useful for night goggles...

[MrSeanoob]

is it me or is that the gravity gun at 2:11 ?

[SomeGamerKid]

@MrSeanoob actually, it's an early portal gun, based on the gravity gun.

[Gfr3eman]

You should reboot this into a Portal 2 map, It would be great

[MatheusBond]

Can we make levels like this on Portal 2? I'm downloading it through Steam.

[phort99]

@MatheusBond You can, and it should be easier to work with for Portal 2 than for the original. Go to your game library and find the tools section. There should be an entry called "Portal 2 Authoring Tools - Beta." Search on Google for 'Portal 2 developer tools' for more info.

[SelinaGlee]

nice level!

[FatButtification]

at 2:15, is that a portal gun beta design?

[phort99]

@FatButtification Looks like somebody still needs to play Half-Life 2.

[FatButtification]

@phort99 wow. i couldn't tell what it was then. i feel really dumb. Great map, by the way

[SomeGamerKid]

@FatButtification yes.

[DrexelDragonO91]

For the last room, two words:

Portal-able floors.

That is all.

[kingsbrothers11]

yay for the zero point energy field manipulater.- gravity gun.

[KineticSand]

anyone knows whats on her legs?

[phort99]

@KineticSand watch?v=wX9Sc88qreg

[KineticSand]

@phort99 WHAT??

[kingsbrothers11]

@KineticSand the pre-mature version of the long fall boot.

[darklanky]

@KineticSand yh they said somewhere its there to stop you from dying when you drop from silly heights, as you commonly do in portal :P

[cheeseworm95]

@KineticSand no, they are advanced knee replacements, not longfall boots

[gunner210611]

@KineticSand There long fall braises in portal 2 long fall boots they keep you from having fall damage even you fall 10000000000000 feet you wont hurt yourself.

[BlueDeathFire]

This looks like an awesome map. :(

too bad you couldn't make the last room

[Ocrana111]

how'd you make the gravity turn?

nice test chamber!

[MrViele83]

song thumbs down

[phort99]

@MrViele83 butt

[MrViele83]

@phort99 double u hat WHAT

[phort99]

@OwnedEpicly The way you came is a vertical drop specifically so you can't go back and do that.

[MrOzMendez]

cool gravity mod!

[dragonwizerd]

That is a cool stair puzzle.

[VaultTec007]

I don't think a leak would speed up compiling. You build cubemaps in-game anyhow.

[phort99]

@VaultTec007 Trust me, it did. As soon as I fixed all my levels leaks, it started lightmapping during compiling. It doesn't lightmap when there's a leak.

[killerlsp]

do u know u dont need to build a stair case at 2:00 u can just use a portal

[phort99]

@killerlsp You can't place portals anywhere in that area. That was intentional, to force you to build a staircase.

[pie189]

add shadows and cubemaps

[phort99]

@pie189 I just intentionally added a leak in the level so it wouldn't calculate all that crap. It speeds up compiling. I'm not working on this anymore.

[ScoutSecurity]

how do u get it?

[phort99]

@ScoutSecurity It's on my old computer, I never felt like digging it out, finishing it and uploading it anywhere. So, the video's all you can get.

[impairedmaps]

since you arent planning on finishing this map, do you mind if i use your idea of 'anti gravity areas' and integrate it into one of my puzzles.

i wont be recreating what you did, but i want to make some kind of puzzle that involves anti gravity.

reply please

[phort99]

@impairedmaps Go ahead.

[tikkumanne]

when you have to build a staircase, people can shoot portal to wall without making a staircase, you should make portal cleanser / fizzler so then people can only go throufh it witch making a staircase ;)

[phort99]

@tikkumanne I thought of that, you can't place portals in that area. You can see at 0:55 that I try firing portals at the wall and floor.

It doesn't need a fizzler for the hole you're climbing through because there's nowhere to place a portal in that area and no way to get back to the previous area where you could place one.

[tikkumanne]

@phort99 well I throught that after posting comment, but it can be still good to add there, people can go back to start of the map after building staircase, or people can take cubes to up there and use them for good, what is not maybe meant for map solving. +its always good to clear portals sometimes.

[friedfrie]

you should make i downloadable and if it is you should tell me where

[Dan12345678910PAL]

how did you make it?

[GoldenAreil]

@Dan12345678910PAL source sdk hammer map editor via steam tools tab

[crzywafflez]

cool

[gmodman999]

whats with the gravity gun and the onther portal gun at 2:15 ?

[00vitality00]

eh lern to make lights

[phort99]

It had some really nice lighting but the last version i compiled had them disabled, and I didn't want to re-download Hammer just to enable them.

[BigZCee]

Is this made with Hammer editor only? Did you use more programs than only Hammer?

[phort99]

I made all of this in just Hammer, though I used the model browsing tool a bit to help find specific objects, and of course Google to figure out what the heck I was doing.

[augustuen]

i think th<t youtube is better for finding out what your doing BTW: 3kliksphilip is very good at making hammer tutorials (CS:S only very sorry:(.

[darth3335]

how long does it take to make it

[kaito201]

Insane!

[Menorkbarg]

It seems to be interesting. Being released is pleasure. :)

[TeamFilmet]

Nice!

When are you gonna release it you think?

[phort99]

Probably not going to, considering I stopped working on it over a year ago. (Can't believe Portal's been out that long) I'd have to relearn everything in Hammer, since it's been so long since I last used it.
