i will keep a look out. got you followed now so if or when you make a new one i will know. i tried making a few maps several years ago. needless to say they werent very good thats why i have to leave it to the rest of you to keep me playing this game i love. I thank you all

having ideas is not my problem, but I'll have to get beemod up and running again and basically start over. Well not completely, but you know... Will take some time before my first new map comes out though...

oh well maybe you will have an idea soon

Last night, I completely removed the sixense DLC (I own it) and without it I can actually make portal maps again. But I do lose access to all my maps that I already made, so I can't edit old maps, but I can make new ones. So that's something...

oh thats too bad. i hope you can fix it. i really enjoyed your maps

Thanks. I wish. I do have an idea for a map, but my portal2 install broke years ago and I can't make new maps. It crashes. Maybe I'll try disabling the sixense DLC because I think that is the reason. Its just that my entire setup and maps are made in that, and I don't think its easy to get that migrated to the regular game... But I'll see what I can do. No hopes though. Its not the first time I am trying to get it fixed.

i think i have played all your maps. really nice collection. i learned something new. i love that. i hope you continue to create.

very cool ,found it. really have to look. hidden in plain site.

hmm ok , wow i feel i have been all over that mountain and cant find anything. i will give it another try

hint 1: There are 2 pedestal buttons you need to push in order.
hint 2: The first pedestal button can be found at the start of the map, somewhere inside the mountain.
hint 3: The second pedestal button can be found somewhere high
hint 4: The easter egg itself has an entrance. the entrance is somewhere outside.
hint 5: The entrance can be reached from the exit platform.

still cant find anything ,can you give me a hint as to where to look

hmm i will have to look again. i didnt see any buttons. hmm

No, the easter egg you can find is a hidden room that you can access by pressing a few buttons that are hard to get to. The final room shows a bit of laser art.

i cant find any egg other than what looks like an outline of an egg shape after walking through the exit door. looking up there is an outline of an egg shape. i even noclipped all around the map and that was all i could find. hmm if you can actually get it than i am missing something

no i will have to go back and look

Nice.

Yep, I found the Easter egg, but getting to it took a few attempts.

Thanks. Did either of you searched for the Easter egg?

that was soo cool!!

Yeah, I really liked how the angled panel made you move. I actually built the puzzle around that idea.

It took me a while to realise that what I thought was a hindrance, was in fact helpful, i.e. the angled panel!

haha, you're welcome. Note that an additional jumping platform becomes visible once the door is open, to make that jump.

Duh. I knew it was a simple thing. Thanks

Yes it sends you past it to the exit platform, which appens to be right above the entrance. ;)

i had found the second button and saw the door open above the stairs . I just couldn't see how to get up there. The angled panel sends you past it. I probably missed something simple.

There's a second pedastal button hidden in the mountain that opens as soon as you hit the first pedastal button. The entire idea of the easteregg is that its a hunt. You can spot the first pedastal button if you look closely, and once you do, you have to find the other entrance. You can do so from a distance, but it is really really hard to see it that way. Another way is by flinging at a few spots and look all around. Or if you really need to, no clip and fly around to find it.

I'm no ninja so I guess that's why I like this map. It's more about thinking than skill at flying. Most of the portaling is fairly easy if you know where to do it. Very good design for the puzzle. I saw a purple and black sky as the others did. Oh well. I didn't let it bother me. I used the pedestal button for the easter egg but I had to noclip to get a look at it, I could not see how to get there. I had fun with this one. Good job.

Oh and the button opens a second room in the mountain. that button opens the easter egg.

Hmm... nope, I did it right. I have no idea why the skyboxes are not showing up for you guys.

I think I know what went wrong. I'll try and update the skybox one again and report here.

wow, what a map! something in it just felt right. nice one. I didn't quite get what the button was for but whatever. I see you uploaded the map because of the skybox complaints but now it looks like a purple-black checkerboard TO ME.

Finished

Updated the map. Fixed a way to skip most of the puzzle and added the skybox texture into the file, so now it should work. Also added a way to get back from the panel in case you decide to stop flinging while climbing the mountain.

Huh, really? Thats weird. I subsribed to the map myself so it downloads to my pc, and it shows fine here. Stagger Lee confirmed it works fine on his computer, and afterall the sky is a stock Portal2 sky. I'll look into this. I'm not that fond of the sky anyway, so I'll see if I can replace the sky with one from half life or team fortress and pack it into the bsp file. That way it is guaranteed to work. Still strange that it doesn't work right now. Even according to the wiki, that sky is native to portal2.

i mean the sky is purple and black with a checkered pattern

@ Stagger Lee: Its a flinging map, yes. But here at Aperture Science, we do not say that you fling from A to B, we say that we test you to go from A to B.

@Catches07: What do you mean by missing texture? If you refer to the mountain not actually having a mountain texture, it has 2 reasons. 1. There is none in the stock textures nor do I have a good one. 2: At Aperture Science we have made this mountain as a training exercise. Therefor it does not have to be realistic.

um missing texture?

Flinging skills, you mean.
