This is my entry for the Portal 2 Summer Mapping Initiative Contest! This Chamber is relatively simple but utilises a variety of Portal 2's puzzle mechanics and hopefully makes for a difficult but enjoyable map.

Before we start, however, keep in mind that although fun and learning are the primary goals of this enrichment center activity, this is my very first map!

Enjoy!

What about including also the .bsp?
Got some compile error:

Spoiler

ConVarRef gpu_level doesn't point to an existing ConVar
Could not open instance file instances/turbine_elevator/arrival_elevator_a4_base.vmf

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.)

Please bsp or vpk, not vmf

Hey guys,

Sorry for the issues, I'm a complete n00b at uploading map files. :/ I keep trying to upload the new folder with the .bsp, .vmf, .vpk files and the instances that I've used within it, but it doesn't seem to overwrite the old one. What is it I'm doing wrong?

Thanks

Change the name of the file when you reupload it, like "Silence_B.zip".

the hills are alive... with the sound of music

Ah. Well now I feel stupid. :L Thanks man! Are the files that are now contained in the folder the correct ones? Just wanna make sure people can actually download it now.

Cheers

A bit on the easy side but that doesn`t mean it isn`t good, but I don`t get the water?
well it`s a great map for beginners :thumbup:

As finishing touch God created the Dutch

Thanks for the feedback!

The water is there in the event that one of the boxes gets soaked in Repulsion Gel.

You can also select "Overwrite old file" when uploading a new file, and that will mean you don't need to rename it.

I started playing custom maps and record me playing them. It's neither a perfect run nor do I have to have solved the map in the way it's meant to solve it. I play the maps "blind", that means I've never been in them before and play them for the very first time. I also give a little feedback for the map in the video description.

Maybe you are interested in the fact, that I played your map: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3JTT8EGMqY
