Anyone?:
I can't load up the .bsp file. I tried in the developer console in Portal 1 and Portal 2 (single player). What am I doing wrong?

] map test_map_2
Portal 2: CModelLoader::Map_IsValid: No such map 'maps/test_map_2.bsp'
map load failed: test_map_2 not found or invalid
Portal 1: CModelLoader::Map_IsValid: Map 'maps/test_map_2.bsp' bsp version 21, expecting 20 map load failed: test_map_2 not found or invalid

Portal 1 won't work as its a Portal 2 map. As for Portal 2, you didn't put it in the right place.

Of course, wasn't thinking. In the right folder it works, thanks....

where would i put this file and how would i open it?

You have to put it in C:Program FilesSteamSteamAppscommonportal 2portal2maps.
Then you have to open ingame with the console; just type in "map MAPNAME".

I have a question too: This map contains a funnel. Is the funnel-entity also in your FGD?
And how can you create co-op maps?

Funnels are in the fgd, the entity is referred to as a tractor beam. And I haven't added coop entities because there are so many without any documentation. I can add basic versions to it over the weekend.

This is pretty amazing, considering you made this before any tools used to create maps were released. This is a bit off topic, but I was wondering if you could make a basic room with all of the correct cooperative entities in place. If you want a good template for the room, you could refer to the video below. I think that room in the beginning of the video is a good template.
