[WIP] First Map
Alright Alright, I put my head down and got some proper frames in place. I'm still in the process of tweaking them.

Almost done with it for the most part, adding a few cosmetic details and I'll post a link up.
Yep looking very test chamberish with those frame windows.
P.S. @lpfreaky when did you get global moderator status? (Have I been blind? 
) Well done 'n' stuff.

I've been mod since Thursday!
Is there something wrong with VPK files? What do I do if I have a lightboard icons file for my map?? 
Dlc 1 broke them 
If you want custom icons I suggest using skotty's lightboard-icon-generator; it provides a texture you can use
And there I was thinking I was almost done. 
most people don?t care about custom info signs, seeing an empty 00 is something we?re used to
It does look much better to have a proper sign though. Its that sort of attention to detail that produces great maps. ( and can leave you working on the same map for yonks as well)
I think in terms of boolean variables. Generally, it makes things easier.
I agree it looks better with a sign; but I prefer a map without a sign over:
1) a zipped file, only to have the sign. Every map I download with this will never have that file in-game
2) a vpk; I know I can use a mod to play the vpk's but I just want to play it in portal 2.
3) a mod; just for a custom sign.
Usually I prefer just to have one .bsp with all the custom content in there. That's also what I do with my maps with custom stuff. (The Stories demo is an exception but I guess you'll understand that one 
)
