never thought of that, will fix, or keep it there for an egg.

EDIT:Meh, I just fixed it so you couldn't place a portal in there.

EDIT: Here are a couple teaser shots of challenge 05.

I'm going to start testing out the map in DX9 mode because there is a huge light difference, plus it looks better with the bumpmaps being shown as well as phong. Here is a recap of pics but with DX9 graphics and some new ones of the alpha 5.

That looks pretty cool Caboose ;)
If I had Portal for the PC I'd play it once it was released.

The third pic from the bottom, I need to fix the lighting.

Ok. I got my settings on max, framerate is being eaten, so I figured why not make wallpapers. Here are a few wallpapers.

I am working on level transitions at the moment so whenever you get to the end of alpha challenge, you'll be in a new bsp, the reason why I am doing this is because it's much easier for me in hammer, it won't be laggy ingame.

I got the transitions working. Here is where you start after you transition to the next level.

Why not do a transition puzzle? One that will take long enough for the next area to load?

The transition is just a simple thing honestly, I just wanted to add that walkway just as a little indication that there are more challenges to come.

On the wall that I am facing, I added a loudspeaker that has Miku saying Welcome back, indicating that you haven't been in contact with her for quite some time.

Just remembered somthingn that bugged me when i was testing your map. Use the auto portal model around the preset portals instead of that texture overlay, :P it makes it look more apeturey

Nope, I will not use the model because I am taking advantage of what they left in the game, and personally I like the old fixed portal border much more than the new one. I hated how Portal changed so much.

Half Life 2 9/10
Half Life 2 EP1 8/10
Half Life 2 EP2 10/10
Portal 10/10
Team Fortress 2 x/10

I really love the hole HL2 Episodes, from beginning to end.
I played the hole campaign more than 1 time, but its everytime a another expirience.
Portal is really great.
Because of that game I buyed a new PC, to play Custom Maps.
We need more of such games, and not so much Shooters and stuff like that.
Team Fortress 2 I didnt play that much.
Just started and played on a few servers, and it was laggin as hell.
I have the best connection you can get in Germany, but that didn

I might post a video of how the floater works.

EDIT2: I got an updated version of the box floaters. I believe they look much better than the other ones. I will still have to old ones in but only when they are at a button.

PLUS THE NEW FLOATERS ARE SHINEY. :3
