Community Spotlight Jun 30 2011!

Map pack uploaded to Steam Workshop! (7.9.2012)

This map pack has three maps that get progressively harder. Every map have 2 chambers so there are total 6 chambers!
I used basic clean style in these maps.

FAQ:

Q: How to install?
A: Put .vpk to steamapps/common/portal 2/portal2/addons
If you don't have "addons" folder yet, make one. Then use console in Portal 2. (Read readme)

Q: Exit elevators do not work!
A: They do, you just have to stay there for about 20 seconds. (Bug in Valve instance I guess...)

Q: I waited 20 seconds but no help!
A: Use console then

Looks like there is a compression problem.. Readme.txt can be extracted, the .vpk not.
"Invalid compressed data to inflate."

I usually demorec the blind ride of every map i try, if you want it send me a private message.
(I'll stop recording if i die.)

E3: Okay TWP link works now. Use it!

There is a weird problem that 90% times I upload something here it will get corrupted. It works just fine on my computer. I have to try upload it again and again untill it works. I can upload files anywhere else without problems though.

Use dropbox link untill I get twp link working.

E: Actually, it also corrupted a file I tried to upload to myaperturelabs. Weird stuff :S
E2: I try using another computer to upload files as soon as possible.
E3: So the fault was in my computer. Is there any reason what could cause it? I have been using different programs to compress and different browsers to upload. Randomly it have worked... Also I can use dropbox just fine.

crc error. broken data

:S? I have no idea what that error means... I just tried this map and it worked fine (I downloaded it here and removed maps from /maps folder)

Or did you answer my question ? Well I still don't really know what it means.
E: Well I Googled it... dunno if it is part of this problem. But the map should work now so go try it!

MrLate, is it possible to upload it uncompressed if apparently the process is breaking it?

I can't because .vpk:s are not allowed to be uploaded :lol: .. The file gets corrupted during the upload, it works fine on my computer. I have used CCleaner to fix registry and I try to upload something later to see if it fixed the problem.

But the file should work now (uploaded it from another computer), can anyone confirm this?

MrLate, there is something wrong with your PC. You're the only person who has ever had these problems.
