This is beautiful, but if you're gonna do the plain white above ceiling thing, make the room much higher, or cover it better. Just my opinion. This is startling and doesn't really make sense. It's just not realistic, the plain white I mean, so it needs more cover or more distance from the player. BRILL job though! Looks awesome otherwise!
i can make destroyed maps too ;(

Any takers?
I'm running into a bizarre error. Every map I make crashes the game as soon as it's loaded. To avoid this issue I took one of the playground maps, added a simple entity and compiled it. All this managed to achieve was that the playground map also started crashing the game :/ Another odd thing is that the recompiled map is around 5 times smaller than the original.
The error I get: "

Anybody else having my fullbright issue? No matter what I do the map compiles as fullbright, yet other people compile it with lighting. Help!
Have any other e3 maps been recreated? I'm specifically interested in the orange gel/crusher one.

Did you know there's this texture called nodraw? It's very nice, reduces compile times spectacularly...
It's a very true to the trailer remake, but it's horribly made.
Good job though.

First, you have a leak fix that by going by using Map>Load Pointfile then sealing the hole with a brush.
Second, don't save your map to c:\documents and settings\wegorz\pulpit\portalmap\ save it to portal 2/portal2/maps instead.
Third, Vrad is off you should turn that on so it doesn't cause lighting errors.
oh joyous fucking day the lights work now
[QUOTE=geogzm2;29449895]oh joyous fucking day the lights work now[/QUOTE]
This made me chuckle. Hehehehehe. Just like that.
Is there a way to make the light brighter which comes from light panels? ([url]http://p2wiki.jessecar96.net/w/Fancy_Lights[/url])
Without the glass_lightcover and just the light texture the brightness is perfect. The lightcover seems to absorb a lot of the light.

Add other lights as well as just the textures. Maybe. I've only been using hammer for a day. :D

Just one thing though, does anyone know what this light model is called?

I would do that, but I like the features of area lights such as light textures. :D It would be nice if I could use them, since I haven't found another way to use area lights.
Anyone know a way I can make it look like gel its filling a bar of some sorts? (trying out a new possible chamber idea)

Looks more like a texture to be honest.
Kill yourself layla.
Okay, I forgot to disable the shadows for the lightpanels. :D Now it works fine. However, I'm still interested in changing the brightness of light textures...
Edit: Oh, never mind. There are light textures in different brightness levels. :)
Why is layla constantly rating people dumb throughout the thread. Its starting to get annoying.
how do I get plants?
[QUOTE=Neddy;29450318]Anyone know a way I can make it look like gel its filling a bar of some sorts? (trying out a new possible chamber idea)[/QUOTE]
You could have a brush that slowly rises as gel pours in, not sure how you'd get it to sense it though. You can't have the gel fill it up by itself by the way, they lack volume.

It's starting to have that "creepy endless maze" feeling I was going for.
So far it is 3x3x3 cubes, but I want to extend it to 3x3x3 so there's some space to get lost in, and it really feels like a Cube™.
Still haven't decided if I want the level to include a portal gun or not. And if not, how one would get through the doors. I suppose rising floor tiles would work well for all the side doors, but that still leaves the ceiling ones...

I'll make a custom water material for the gels. Then make it slowly rise. But ye the sense is the problem im having.

I figured it could be a leak and put everything in a huge box func_brushed to 'structure_seal' (as described in guide on developer's wiki) but it didn't help. I also tried using the Pointfile tool but to no avail. Should've mentioned it before posting though, sorry.
Still, thanks for the tip 'bout the save directory! It'll save me lot's of hassle.
EDIT: OK. I'm an idiot. How do I change my save directory?
