So, you lied.

Absolutely! Self-esteem fund is the best track.

100%!

The power of beemod :)

Thank you! I'm hoping to make much more elaborate chambers in the future.

Hey, I genuinely appreciate the objective facts! I totally agree that the solutions were rushed, and there were a LOT of missed opportunities. This was lazily made in an evening when I was just cycling through what the BEE2 mod added. I plan on finally finishing, and releasing a new chamber very soon that will better utilize different testing elements. Thank you for the support!

@@KILLACROSBIE Thank you for taking my review into consideration. :)

@@KILLACROSBIE I just checked out your channel and it seems to me that you're quite new to making levels, so here's another advice: If you're planning to make lots of Portal2 levels in the future, don't make it your aim to get your levels onto the front page of the workshop. Due to various reasons the most "popular" levels will always be the easiest, and "worst" ones (Mike Daas has a video on why this happens). Instead of making levels for the workshop's algorithm, set yourself your own quality-threshold, and make your levels for those who will play this game for more than a few days after they've beaten the main storyline. You seem to be talented in using Hammer, so I'm sure that you will make some amazing pieces of art if you make levels that you want to make, rather than ones that get the "top rating" in the workshop. :)

​@@tyronorxy5646 it's not Hammer, it's beemod. I think it's obvious bc everything is divided into blocks

I agree. Thank you!

@@KILLACROSBIEYeah... maybe make your puzzles less linear Also make sure that your map has a maximum of 4 major mechanics to reduce unnecessary visual clutter (your map has too many which makes it feel like it has no theme). A puzzle should reuse main elements multiple times

Hey, thank you for the kind words! It does feel good getting back into portal, for sure.

Yes a beautiful map YeS

@@KILLACROSBIE hey what is the song named that started in 0:31

@@Yourlocal_ZombieScout The music used in the chamber was from Portal 1 called "Self-esteem fund"

@@KILLACROSBIE ok thanks

I think I messed with it a few years ago, when trying to change the FOV haha. I never noticed how different it was. Thanks for pointing it out! I'll fix it next time.

it's mostly fine, just that when it's so stretched the VMT stretches too, and you can see where that is.

its done using the "viewmodel_offset_" command. if you wanna use it, keep in mind that you gotta type in the axis you want to change and the amount afterwards like this: viewmodel_offset_z 8

Thank goodness I thought he liked it that way that would be insane

I have got a question, God you change your view model? I just see people do that and I want try that aswell.

Thank you! I'm hoping to make better with every chamber :)

Glad to see others still passionate about it! Thanks for the support!

I'm pretty sure as long as you have an announcer that is compatible with the time period, it will do it automatically. There are little checks on the announcers that tell you if they'll work or not, at least I'm 80% sure lol. I know it was nothing I had to manually implement. Hope this helps!

Thank you!

I appreciate it!

Thank you :)

Thank you :)

Unfortunately, I gave up on portal mapping not long after uploading this. I might not know exactly, but I remember being able to change the levels time period/theme (changes panels, and other textures). You can also change the announcer and intro/exit corridors. I think with certain combinations, you get unique dialogue. That's how I got the announcer to accurately say the line at the start "the portal will open". Regardless, appreciate the comment :) good luck if you're creating.

@@KILLACROSBIE Hey man, thanks for the tip. I hope you’re doing great in life wherever you are :)

It's my favourite track!

Hi there! I used the chamber lock door to separate the different rooms. They come with both doors and the fizzler ready to go. For the intro, under Compile options->Map settings, there is an option to select different enter and exit Corridors. The announcer played the audio because you have to collect a portal gun since you don't start with one, and it fit the time period. The apocalypse announcer is compatible with the destroyed aperture theme. Hope this helps!

@@KILLACROSBIE It does! But, still one part you didn't answer... how did you get the custom level number?

I agree. I might bite the bullet soon and finally learn hammer soon.

My mistake, I apologize. The map link is in the description now. It's called "P-Body's adventure!" Any feedback is appreciated! Thank you for the support!

That's very kind, thank you. I'm glad you liked it!

This is definitely a very amateur chamber. I kinda have been wanting to do something portal 1 related, so I think it will be something I do in the future. Thank you for the support!

@@KILLACROSBIE No problem! Its awesome that people are still creating new content for this game long after it’s release. I’ll make sure to subscribe to see your next chamber.

​@@KILLACROSBIE definitely. When I was playing workshop maps, I've seen lots of these, so I can now recognise beemod instantly

Thanks for the comment! This was thrown together in an evening before I knew anything about level building. I was also using the BEE2 mod, and was very limited. If I were to go back and make more, I would definitely put more love and care into it. Cheers! 🍻

ucp packages...

i think he used hammer

​@piglegs9432 do you mean that in a literal sense or is it some kind of program?

This was used with the built-in level editor. I was however running the BEE2 mod. There are many videos on KZfaq showing how to install it. The best method is to build a chamber via Hammer, however. Hammer is much more complex, but allows for a LOT more. Again, there are tutorials all over KZfaq for that as well.

It was! With help from the Bee2 mod.

I'm very sorry for the late reply. If you're still wondering how to do it, select the "Overgrown" style in the bee2 editor, it's on the right side. Happy creating!

@@KILLACROSBIE I figured it out already! Still thanks!

Hi

im sure that this map was made by hammer editor

I think I messed with it a few years ago and hadn't noticed how offset it actually was haha. I have fixed it since, and it will be normal for the next creation.

its done using the "viewmodel_offset_" command. if you wanna use it, keep in mind that you gotta type in the axis you want to change and the amount afterwards like this: viewmodel_offset_z 8

Hm, I don't quite remember right this moment. I do remember picking the overgrown style in the BEE2 mod. I just can't remember if that automatically changes the texture or not.

Beemod compile error, the texture gets twisted around for some reason.

It was made in the build-in level editor. I just used the BEE2 mod. It adds a LOT more options and tools. Best part is, you don't have to learn Hammer or anything!

by using hammer

@@user-hb3ng1zz2x i cant get hammer to work :(

Bee does not look that great, I agree. Might have to switch soon.

True but it gives more options to players that don’t wanna have a headache learning hammer.

@@nonameman7114 hammer isn't too hard and it's worth it in the end result Beemod is a cheap and easy way to make beginners have more 'creativoty' Otherwise, bee should still stay as it's elements are great when utilized correctly

@@TheMazarineIsReal Sure but some just want to create something quick and not spend hours trying to get one thing working correctly. I’ve tried it and can’t even figure out how to carve a hole for the cube dropper without leaks.

Bro was running an early version of the chamber, before the lighting was fully calculated. ;)

Fair enough. btw, how's it going with that new test chamber?

Maybe one day I'll look into making a full mod :)

@@KILLACROSBIE call it aperture issues

Don't tell Erik Wolpaw 😳

I only make levels as a hobby. BEE2 lets me create levels in a fraction of the time Hammer would take me. I also just have no interest in learning it. I do know how powerful of a tool it is though!

I'm okay with what I use :) thank you for the suggestion though!

@@KILLACROSBIE bee2mod usually produces bad results, this mostly seen in oldap maps

dont have to be so rude about it also beemod is fine for puzzle design. not everyone wants to spend 300 years making a map in hammer just because it looks better

@@confused_cat_ No worries, I didn't take anything offensively. I do understand that Hammer is a much more powerful tool. I just make levels as a hobby though, I just want to make the puzzles interesting, the visuals don't worry me at all. Thank you for the support!

Quit talking about yourself (The being cringe part)

I can defiantly try and make some puzzles with Portal 1 items! I have a regular Portal 2 modern level being made right now, but I will definitely incorporate Portal 1 in the future.

@@KILLACROSBIE ok
