Send a link to the Portal team at Valve and see if they can promote it on the Steam home page?

Awsome job Hen. A ton of new and well thought out puzzles.

I'd give it 9.5 out of 10.

The only thing I didn't care for was that the shooting through the wall holes got a bit repetative towards the end, and there weren't many graphical frills (inset lighting, etc. Or I don't recall seeing much of this anyway.)

Excellent job though, lots of fun to play and takes a good while to complete.

Thanks msleeper!

I've uploaded the map itself to the download database before I opened this thread but still, I can't see it, maybe there was a problem, I'll try again.
PortalFan77, I've already tried to make it a mod, But I had no idea how to make it for Portal, only HL2, after changing some stuff in the gameinfo.txt It just crashed. Sad

The file was too big, try uploading it now. --msleeper

Great scott...

About 3,5 hours after I started this mappack, I finished it and I was like "What the hell just happened?"

This isn't a mappack. This is a completely new game! A tremendous job, though with a few flaws...

First of all there are a few places where you often die a few times before you find out why you did, and have to die a few more times before you find out how to prevent yourself of dying.

Next to that indicators aren't always clear. I often pushed a button or a switch, and then had to scout the chamber again to find out what changed.

Finally, the big portal-through-hole-fire puzzle at the end got very annoying at some point, though I made it through.

Everything else was just great. The chambers had a good design (an Aperture look, whilst still something slightly different, a more closed feeling, more claustrophobic, wich really enhanced atmosphere), the BTS-areas were just great, as were the 'broken' chambers where you had to go BTS to finish them. I also liked the cake part, the boss battle(a Mechanoid! What a good idea!) and the ending (with the Combine gunship)

This is (are) the best bonus map(s) for Portal I've played so far.

Why are there no cubemaps? And why no strip lighting?

Brilliant! tons of places had me panicking to hell and jeeze.. some made me jump the hell out of my skin. But brilliant, ab-so-lute-ly brilliant conversion and the escape maps are awesome. The boss fight was pretty hard until I got going.. then I ended up waiting for perhaps 3 minutes behind a van for the boss to kill itself and the end... OMG!
