Sure, a PM with info and I'll have a go

[Serenius]

Sweet! Thanks guys. I'll send over the info in the next day or two. Time to see how smoothly the publishing tools run.

If anyone wants to play an unfinished version of the portal 2 map I posted on the previous page:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1905266/Portal2_NoFloor/map1/nofloorbeta1.zip

Its a vpk so once its in the addon folder just type "map sp_nofloor" into the console

Needs a good day spent on lights and art and general fixing. Interested to know what people think of the puzzle though.

[e-freak]

can't seem to get the vpk to run? what exactly am i supposed to do?

[sarge mat]

Should just be a matter of copying it into the addon folder and then loading the map in the console. Don't think double clicking the vpk works for portal 2. I will check I set it up right again when I am back at the pc.

You need to make a folder called addons (with an S) in steam/steamapps/common/portal 2/portal 2/ and place it in there. If portal 2 was running while you did this type update_addon_paths into the console before trying to launch the map.

[e-freak]

ah ok... my folder was called addon (without the s) hence it didn't work.

beta 2 of no floor: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1905266/Portal2 ... rbeta2.zip

Don't want to post a ton of shots in this topic again but, I removed the funnels for carrying the cube. Had them their because I thought it would be too difficult but, its quite possible with out and what I liked about the map in the first place. Still things to fix (like using the lazer to kill the bots), but I shall spend tomorrow on final lights, art and tweaks.

Anyone willing to play test an HL2 Ep 2 level that's very early in development? We're talking orange box phase with full bright lighting and only gameplay-critical scripting.

Count me in just send a PM with stuff

[mjens]

Just experimenting with the UDK, doin' stuff, checkin'

[twiz]

that looks preeeetty awesome seir

[Minos]

Yup, really nice use of the stock assets

[sarge mat]

Really nice use of the stock assets. They tend to get a bit over used but, this is something a bit different with them. The bright lighting helps a lot too.

[mjens]

Thanks Mat/Min0/tiwz, here's a little update:

I called it "Crude Oil Dispatch Station" I played with UDK for two days, really nice tool but I need to get used to key shortcuts, different camera operations and so on...

[Skacky]

Man that looks really ace, reminds me a lot of Rage!
