I fixed the problem with the .vpk file. It doesn't contain the .vmf file (but that's not what the problem was).

Of course, because the addons functionality is broken since the DLC1 update, this only works in my custom mod. What I would like to do is release a very basic custom mod that other people can use to play custom .vpks simply by dropping them in the addons folder of the mod. Such a release should contain a fully functional example, like my own maps in a .vpk, but I haven't released any (because I still really suck at Hammer.)

I would like your permission to include your map in that basic mod as the working example .vpk. PM me if you like.

I would like to play this map but I'm not quite sure how to install it. Your readme said:

Quote:

MAC: I don't know what the directory is on mac, but it should be under common in your steam folder.
It should ask to overwrite. Hit yes to everything.

I'm not sure if I should place it in common/portal 2 or common/portal 2/portal2/ or what. Also, and forgive me if this is a noob question, but allowing it to overwrite seems kind of dangerous. It's not going to delete important game files, right?

No its not. Just put it in the first portal 2 file.

Here's my speedrun of this map. I LOVE this map. The theming is great, the voices are well done and to top it off it was challenging!

Great map. I loved the aesthetics and custom content. My only problem is that in my first playthrough, the first stairs never opened. I though it was just too hard of a map and gave up. I came back to it about a month later and they worked, so it's all fine :thumbup:
10 for style; 7 for puzzle.
Great map.

Anyone wishing to speedrun with me, feel free to PM me. I'm always open to new partners.

Pushing this spotlight back a week so that Aperture Valentine can take the headline while it's still relevant.

For the curious, p0rtalplayer (with some others) has made a sequel to this map. You can get it on myApertureInnovations and the Steam Workshop.

Tell him to upload it here and we'll probably spotlight it. :idea:
