Ad Hoc by p0rtalplayer
Made for the third official MyApertureLabs mapping contest. It is a rather long map, it has 3 chambers and a BTS area. It also has two endings.

Hear the turret, for it is knell. It summons thee to heaven, or to hell.
Thanks for the quick review!
I think that missing texture is a remnant from when I switched texture packs. Maybe I'll fix it if any other bugs arise. Not sure, hammer doesn't seem to like my map too much, and crashes often while I'm working on it.
When I got to the BTS areas I was starting to get low on time and was moving quickly, as you can probably tell, so the lighting is not as good as it potentially could be. Anothe factor was that at that point the average compile time was up to around 5 minutes, meaning that I had to wait a while if I wanted to see a minor change in the lighting. Maybe I should invest in the cordon tool...
Anyway hopefully I won't be on a deadline for the sequel, which will be full-on replacement textures

About that,

[spoiler]the texturing of the room is a teaser for my next map, Ad Infinitum, which is already in the works and uses those textures which are part of Colossals "confinement" texture pack. Any resemblance to portal 2 is merely on his side, I'm just using the textures.
The bed was meant to be more obvious to get into, I added signs that pointed to cake in it, but apparently that wasn't enough. Anyway, I couldn't really think of an ending.[/spoiler]

Extremely polished and thorough, feels like an abridged version of P1. I didn't get how to take the official ending either.
