[laytonlover258]

PPL!! THIS IS NOT HIS MAP!! IF YOU WANT TO GIVE TIPS TO MAKE THIS MAP BETTER, GO COMMENT ON THE CREATOR'S CHANNEL!

[JFrameMan]

that should have been a companion cube :D

[lexlazootin]

its ok but you "colour" on witch floors you can shoot is a bit off...

[tommihahmo]

I hace a Questions in this map. I have Source SDK and i click Hammer Editor. But i dont do items ir objects. :D Questions : How you do a cube? How you do a Bed? How you do a Cake?

[tde87871]

Can you make your own map for Portal?

[spyglass123]

@tde87871 Yes you  can :)

[tde87871]

@spyglass123 Ok, but how?

[spyglass123]

@tde87871 Go on Steam then Tools, download "Source SDK" then Open up the Hammer World Editor and create a new canvas.

[Bobcrazyton]

It is gmod I made one like the map

[snakesonthekeyboard]

how do u make maps i dont get it is it garry's mod or what someone plz reply

[guitarhero7946]

@snakesonthekeyboard

i use Source SDK

[snakesonthekeyboard]

@guitarhero7946 oh i tried that it is very hard lol

[FrogBlaster77]

I think the map is too specific, there's no room for any puzzles or to go any way except the one you've specifically designed. It simply has too many metal walls. Try making the levels more open-ended.

[TheMantisTycoon]

you have to press e. its on when you hold stuff

[portalzombies]

i dont know it just appears some times i think you have to hold the poertal gun for a while

[XXXmasterchongXXX]

how do you get the portal gun to allways have that electric stuff at the end

[SonicBoom900]

the gun is in holding animation untill you pick up the cube. fix that and it will be awesomer then it is already. (I KNOW AWESOMER IS'NT A WORD!!)

[Jookuukooj]

It's a bug. It's everytime when you play custom map and you get immediatly fully upgraded ASHPD, it shows the holding animation(how stupid bug!).

[Shom42]

You need to improve the ligting and make more optional spots for portals or else the puzzels obvious. And just to try to get 1 more view and be a view stealing ass my portal maps better.

[Backwardsman97]

Eww fullbright.

[jj16802]

UH-OH Someone landed on the cake.

[robmaister12]

few things that would make your map much better.

1) add some lights, don't use fullbright

2) try using a smaller grid size and avoid those 1 unit thick walls towards the end.

3) I noticed you had some trouble on the last jump there. Instead of just having the system of jump in one portal, out the other, try using conservation of momentum and velocity to clear long jumps.

Nothing critical, just constructive to help you become a better mapper =P good luck

"KooKas2008 i didnt make the map thats why i added the authors name in the about bit."

[BrandonC3]

Another thing you might want to consider, is not using the darker metal as portal surfaces. I know you can, but that doesn't necessarily mean you should. In the actual game, those surfaces are non-portal as well, which is confusing, and an eye sore on a map with that much non-portal.

Also, don't be afraid to place non-portal surfaces in locations other then where they're needed. This adds a new level of confusion, and adds to the levels visual quality. Just make sure you test possible outcomes.

[Vaazuthenoob]

dude use lights and dynamic lights.

it looks a lot better.

[zombienoob22]

its w.i.p map its not finished...

[ChikenBut]

Very good job, I thought it was really kool 5 stars =)). How did you create your own map?

[TedStriker1773]

Open Steam

Goto Tools

Download Source SDK

Open it

go to Goolge

Search for Hammer Editor tutorials (:

[kingofallpie]

you are all TROLLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[iamafractal]

if you want to cry and see some actual QUALITY custom maps, go over to thinkingwithportals dot com or fpsbanana dot com

[Duffedwaffaye]

Total crap. - Unnecessary waste of space with the "turret pit" - Inconsistent portalable surfaces. - Ability to become completely stuck. - Completely random pipe prop. - zero lighting effort. - Repeating textures. - 1-pixel width walls (seriously what?) - A cake at the end. Most cliche', unoriginal crap ending ever. Not even a good presentation of the cake. It's just there. I certainly hope you don't plan to release this looking anything like that.

[spyglass123]

thanks for the reply but there was no reason to be rude, this was 1 of the first maps made, and it was unfinished so id like to see u make a better map....ill be waiting...

[KooKas2oo8]

Spyglass, everything he said was right. And I will make a better map, I don't think your first day of mapping can beat several years of mapping practice, so don't go there.

[spyglass123]

KooKas2008 i didnt make the map thats why i added the authors name in the about bit.

[Duffedwaffaye]

I've actually only made two maps... >_> Maybe like 4 months of experience.

[KooKas2oo8]

Spyglass, everything he said was right. And I will make a better map, I don't think your first day of mapping can beat several years of mapping practice, so don't go there.

[SeriousIlya]

Custom map?

So this is like garrys mod for portal

[KooKas2oo8]

The fact it can have custom maps doesn't make it Garry's Mod, Source supports high levels of customizability.

[SeriousIlya]

sorry im not pro in this stuff

i know but just an example mabeit has similarities, mabe it doesnt...

[killerducks2]

yawn

[choobn4]

stfu

[promo1019]

huh? *wake up*

[killabarney99]

THE CAKE IS REALL!!!

[rwp80]

heheh nice im gonna try and make some portal maps too... that game is too good to be so short!

[E1025]

you need some lighting, my eyes burn

[Hidden92]

THE CAEK!

[Masterpaxton123]

Nice.

[tomloadsadosh]

Not bad map but now you got the cake how will you get out.

[primaax]

that map sucked so bad

[AlsoTheCheese33]

The map is uninteresting (and looks bad), and you got an idiot to demonstrate it.

[eminemboi4]

the cake is a lie!

[SweatersDotCom]

Interesting design I guess... it seems like it focuses more on the platform aspect than on the Portal aspect. Since the Portal-able walls are very small, the puzzle aspect is pretty much zero, and instead it's just about trial and error on pulling off some pixel-perfect jumps.

[xxxVJ300xxx]

Seems like sombody already noticed that this map is fullbright.

[SteeleInd]

Fullbright looks like poo.

[youngsatchmo]

Why is this map full-bright?

You should make the surfaces that can support portals more obvious from the ones that cannot.

[suned2u]

ooo my eyes are dead

[McMaNGOS]

Too short.

[SnowyAstra]

too easy

[sverror]

a cake!!!! :D:D:D

[CorruptOne18]

No if you look very carefully you can see that their darker and have 4 tiles in the space of 1 proof wall.

[thedoodemiester]

no... they are the same. If you look carefully

[deltalabmodhl2]

You rly have to put a light ...

[thedoodemiester]

the brown metal walls can't have portals shot on them. But on this you magicaly can...

[ShiningAssassin]

those brown walls hes putting the portals on are different than the actual portal proof walls. Look carefully

[Snotrohmit]

Gay

[haloelite11215]

[spyglass123]

[haloelite11215]

[SaIntNightSeeker]

[M4pster]

Interesting, do what the others said and also add in some turrets.

[Spppds]

1) light it as said
