your map is good

@J.Kyd
I recommend you check out https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Category:Portal_2_Level_Design for how to make stuff, but make something in the puzzle editor then use this link (http://www.thinkwithportals.com/puzzlemaker/workshop_compatibility.php) to import it to hammer.. Takes so much shorter time, and it is easier. Just if you have a decent computer ;)

The linked portal door explanation is located here (https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Linked_portal_door)

Hope oit helps you out.. Btw, English is not my native language either ;)

OK so I made an arch... you have to forgive me because english isn't my native language, so it took me a lot of time to figure out what arch is.... actually the real question was the pre-placed portal window you mentioned ( I think it was...), as it is in your map, there is a way behind that arch, and it would take you a few more time to reach the end. If you know what I'm talking about, it's very interesting, and completely confused me.

No problem, @J.Kyd
Good luck further ;)

OK, I'll try. Thanks for your help!

@J.Kyd
The arch is in the block creating enu to the right.. the white box should have a drop-down list to select 'arch' from.. ;) Experiment and explore.. It's like playing the trumpet.. You fuck up to a point where you get it and it gets harder, but you learn more after a while.. It requires nothing but practise..
;)

Thank you for your patience. I learn civil engineering in college, so 3dsmax or maya won't be a prolem, but I'm still struggling with the anch that you mentioned, till don't know how. And the linked_portal_door as well.....

@J.Kyd
Yes, actually, you can search Hammer valve developer wiki or visit https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Category:Level_Design

This is helpful in order to make a map at all...
Although, if you want it the easy way (still a bit tricky) you can make a map in the puzzle maker, then import it into Hammer, and edit it as you want, with sort of secret passages, or some other custom models and such..
Only your knowledge of Hammer'ing is setting the limits here, lad.
Have done this shit for nearly 5 years, and still I find it a bit difficult, but check out some tuts to get along or else you will give up..

Trust me, I almost did..
I recommend TopHattWaffle Hoogland and 3kliksphilips, when it comes to Portal 2.
Happy Hammering!

Ahh, thank you. So I installed it, but still don't know what to do, I tried to google this, but don't know what keywords should I use, any tutorials or videos? :)

@J.Kyd
Ahh, this is not made in the puzzle maker. Google Hammer World Editor, it's from Portal 2 Authoring Tools, it is located in the Steam>library>tools -section. It's a bit hard to use :D

How to do that? I don't have this arch thing in the puzzle maker, and I googled a lot but nothing found.

@J.Kyd
I made an arch, and connected it with a pre-placed portal window, if that is what you mean?
I think the arch is either 8, 12 or 16 faces...

How did you do that? I mean the semi-cylindrical thing at the beginning.

@Kazmer
Aaah, I see. that's good, it's supposed to be challenging.. I play tested the map, so it should be possible to do the entire thing :)

Sorry, my 6 years old boy gaming with your map :) He want to say, the map is good, but one part of the map cant get through. He now learning the hungarian writing, this year starting the school! :)

I googled too, but i still don't understand XD

(Kazmer's note below looks like Hungarian - from google: "GOOD ONLY ONE section EL ones")

@Kazmer I dont understand your language, please repost in English or I'l talk in Norwegian.. :D

JÓ CSAK AZ EGYIK RÉSZNÉL EL AKATAM

Ah, OK.

@dmuk
Thanks for feedback.. I know the lights are a bit f*cked up, but it's intended to have it like that. If you struggle with vision, try turn up your computer light or brightness..
The only thing I want to change might be the glass in the beginning..

Needs more light; the glass panel at the start and the pedestal button are difficult to see. Liked the 'escher-esque' curving passage that seemed very long and circuitous...
