i'm looking for some new portal maps to game on, anyone know any good ones?
The ren_test series are apparently awesome.
got any links?
I was looking for the Schwinz test chambers or whatever they're called. But all the links I got are broken :(
Halomaps has stuff for PORTAL?
Sweet.
there was a site up with heaps of custom portal maps... but most of them looked half finished and shitty. :\
What I'd be more interested in is a Portal map with actual fighting. That is, you have to figure out how to get out of a dangerous situation with just your portals. You know you want to make an elite pulse rifle himself.
Oh gee, that only happened in december.Quote:

i can never get these fucking maps working.
instructions.
Install Instructions:
-Extract the zip contents to your "Steam\steamapps\'username'\portal\portal\maps " folder.
-In Portal click on "Bonus Maps" and you should now have a new category called "maps/RenTests". This is where you'll find all your Ren_Test maps.
-Enjoy!
i'm doing that and i'm getting "ren test maps folder, but it aint got no freaking maps >_<
And i cant import them because the maps are "BSP" files, but when i'm in game and try to import it's looking for BMZ file extensions.
Just :raise:
anyone wanna give us a hand?
I got one to work once, but it was all wireframed....... :/
Judging by your Portal status on Steam I take it you got it to work?
Anyway, be sure the maps are in the maps folder, or a subdirectory of that if needed.
Aha, making a new folder inside of portal/portal/maps works. Thanks! :)
what do you call the new folder? ren test :S?
also no i didnt get it to work, just went through and played the Advanced maps for the first time.
WTF Companion sphere?
I just did "map ren_test<number>" in the console.
I cant figure out how to activate the last ballswitch on that map D:Quote:

if you mean the one where the two buttons for the door are up off the ground you just ignore the buttons.
use the sphere to bounce it round behind the door to the point. it's a bitch but it's how i did it.
No I got it and using the buttons :downs:Quote:

moar sphere bouncing.
how hte mc fuck did you get it using the buttons :S
is there a portal wall near one of the switches or something?
no I forget exactly but it involved holding the ball over one of the buttons and moving it, it was complicated D:Quote:

If that makes any sense at all.
