How to modify your maps for the upcoming workshop

Page 1 of 4Next

This is a tutorial I made today about the upcoming workshop.

It deals about how to integrate the new features into your hammer made maps.

In this tutorial you will learn how to

    Play Cave Johnson Lines
    Add a custom light board
    bring up the rate window
    publish a hammer map to the workshop

I plan to do another tutorial, of advanced hammer/workshop features, so you can have more freedom with lightboard, bringing the rate window and playing lines.

The video contains spoiler for the first cave johnson line.

Hope it is useful!

Also, its my first tutorial video. So, give me a break (and tips, mostly tips)

Thanks for the video. I haven't gotten all the way through it but it's nice to see how things work when the map is ported from the in-game editor. For a first tutorial you are doing pretty well. :thumbup:

Thanks! The only problem is the lag when I go into the game (Should have used fraps for that). And the fact that people won't get the instances until tuesday.

I also hope Valve doesn't change some of the way stuff in the video works, or I would have to redo a tutorial with the updated instances :p

I wouldn't really worry too much about that. You could always add an annotation to the video saying that a few of the instances were changed. From the look of it though most of the instances you used, like the lightboard and elevators, were already in the game to begin with. So I doubt there would be too much trouble with. I could, however, be mistaken about that though.

The only 2 instances that are alrady in the game are the first 2 I called. The arrival elevator.

All others are under p2editor folder, and as such, are not out to the public yet.

Hmm, I see I guess a few things have changed from what is already out. I look forward to seeing just how many new instances there are to play with. :D By the way your test chamber looks interesting, I stopped watching once you went in-game because I'd like to play through it sometime.

One question though. Can you use different entrance elevator instances than the ones you used, or do they have to be those specific ones?

I used those specific ones, the problem I had was that when I used elevator_entrance, I could not get the lines to work. And those I used did work pretty simply.
