Non-Euclidean Level Design

6:06 PM

@El'endiaStarman OK, the door models look a little weird (they overlap) but I'm not going to put anymore effort into what was supposed to be a 10-minute test map: mediafire.com/download/cb86n2p66brms63/p2_test.bsp

There's three rooms: two with the doors right next to each other and one with an elevated door. Try it out

Stick it in your Program Files/Steam/steamapps/common/Portal 2/portal2/map

Then open up Portal 2, go to Keyboard -> Advanced -> enable developer console

Then hit backtick and type map p2_test

Gonna go eat lunch

Shit, I made a giant mistake.

@El'endiaStarman Err don't download that one quite yet

One of the brushes is z-fighting

All righty @El'endiaStarman try this one: mediafire.com/download/cb86n2p66brms63/p2_test.bsp

You'll still notice a few visual artifacts but those are out of my control (appears to be an issue with how the door/portal is aligned).

@quartata: I have to re-download Portal 2 (after updating the few games that are installed), so that'll take some time.

@El'endiaStarman made the room: it's called non Euclidean level design (for now)

Okay, the TF2 update was 2.7 GB and will end up taking about half an hour to download all that. Portal 2 is 6.6 GB, so I expect that'll be an hour and a half.

I'll work on Pytek in the meantime!

What the heck. CS:GO apparently wants to do a 4.0 GB download. It's downloaded 1.4 GB so far. I might not get to test the map until this evening...

quartata

You can pause those updates and just do the Portal 2 one using the pause and arrow buttons

El'endia Starman

True........but this gives me an excuse to work on Pytek instead. :P

quartata

You missed several large TF2 and CSGO content updates I suspect

El'endia Starman

Yeah, looks like it.
