Hello. I have been getting a lot of visitors to my blog about bonus maps for Portal, and I have decided to cater to their wishes. I am currently publishing a new article that will include links to different aspects of Half Life 2 modding, and I am going to include a link to your site where you offer such great advice on adding Portal aspects to the game. If this is a problem, please let me know. If possible, I’d appreciate a link-back but of course not necessary.

hey, I followed your portal mapping setup for hammer, but textures for world geometry is showing up as pink and black tiles, which is rather annoying. It works fine ingame, but is there a remedy to this problem?

Hey Kenjara,
I just wanted to message you about a security issue on your site, apparently I cannot post it publicly here in this comment so just send me an email and I’ll reply.
Good job on the Portal mapping and especially thanks for the instructions on how to get started.
Regards,

new question. have you figured out how they make walls non-portable? I was thinking maybe they used an external material list like the old quake and unreal games.
October 18, 2007 at 5:35 pm |
and I’m not talking about the func_noportal_volume b/c I know they only use those for 3d non portables, not walls.

Shane,
I love what you’re doing with your Portal mods! I was wondering when someone would think to add NPCs from half-life.
I’m working on building a Portal map-sharing website and community. First of all, may I post a link to your site on mine? Secondly, I would like to invite you to be one of the first people whose maps are hosted on my site.
My site currently allows users to upload, edit, search, rate, and comment on others’ maps. I’m still programming it, so it’s not completely finished. I’ll send you a link to the site if you email me.
Please email me at nickworks at hotmail dot com.
Cheers,
Nick

Hey man,
Not sure if you got my reply to your email. But I was wondering if you would upload your awesome Portal maps to my website?

Thanks!

Hi Nick I did email you back.
Your more than welcome to host any maps of files (portal mapping related) on your site. Just dont forget to add my name somewhere.

I emailed you a second time. Basically, the website follows the Web 2.0 model: users submit their own work, like YouTube. That way, the map is tagged with username, date info, ratings, comments, etc. People can even click on your name to see just the stuff you’ve uploaded.
All that said, I was wondering if *you* would upload your maps.
Cheers
Nick
