Thanks for the tutorial, it helped me get up and running. You might want to add a quick blurb at the end for us complete Hammer noobs about how to run your map in the game, I had to do a little Googling to figure out the only way to do it right now is through the console, and the proper command.

FYI Guys thats "map mapnamehere" in console. Minus the quotes.

As well as the materials and models folders, you will also need lights.rad from portal content.gcf for the lights to work right. I discovered this trying to replicate the lighting around the edge of the floor.

You can also right click on Portal and go to properties, and set launch options to add "+map mapnamehere" (without the quotes) so that it will automatically go to your map straight from boot. Useful if you're loading the same map over and over after making revisions

(Instructions in italics may not be exactly the right name for things. I'm in Chemistry right now and can't look at my steam window.)

Nice! Mind posting the full lights.rad so everyone has it? Text is fine, no need for attachment.

Here is the file I extracted from the gcf, it needs to be called lights.rad in the root of your mod directory.

eg: c:steamSteamAppsSourceModsPortal

As far as I can tell the second block of 4 lines are the only additions above the HL2DM one

For GCF scape? Works fine for me, try googling for GCFscape to see if there is an alternate page.
