Ugh, seeing this really makes me wish I was one of those testing it. It looks really interesting to use.

However there is one thing I wonder, well quite a few things but I'll go into my #1 question first, how does the lighting work? Does it work like instances? For example if I wanted an observation room to be my light source is there some sort of editing involved, or is it basically just an instanced Observation Room like the ones we can access in Hammer? I honestly don't know why that's been bothering me but it has so I thought I'd ask.

I'ts using a newer model format that Portal 2 currently doesn't support, the the models can still be decompiled and recompiled into an older format.

i'm really looking forward to this. i played lots of custommaps from this site (most where between "good" and "OMG i cant believe how awesome this is". And while i enjoyed using mapeditors in other games (especially trackmania) a lot, i gave up frustrated (twice) when i tried to use hammer for portal2 maps.

So excited and cant wait this thing gets released (while i do understand closed beta is important needs time, no intention to start any commentwars on that). dont wanna bore you with further details. </ :blah: >

In short, anything you can add is an instance. There is an observation room instance, and a light panel instance. They don't have any parameters.
