Something I need, though - the player needs to have obtained at least the crowbar before attempting my map, because there's a passage hidden underneath an immovable crate.

So.. put one in? It won't matter if the player already has one or not seeing as he can do the maps in any order.

I like it!Almost finished it. I'll e-mail it to who ever is doing the other one.
Can you make a high-tech battery that is about 20x20x20 units? Don't forget to give it to the person who chooses battery 2.

elon the point of the map is to get a part and bring it back, doesn't matter how its brought back tho, it could be a specific crate or in a shipping container, or teleported, or transported by train or whatever.Yes and when did I counterdict this? I just noted that you should use sometimes a more intresting transation between the levels then just a boring old keycard.

In first edition of the Elon dictionary, you will learn amazing never before seen words, such as "counterdict", "intresting", "transation", "probebly", and similarly fascinating remnants of the ancient Ingresh language, all with definitions to help you apply them to modern day scenarios. You will be the envy of all your friends, who will be both baffled and amazed at your ability to use this brand new logic defying language.

k. Heres the consept I have for it:
http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/5999/batteryue9.jpg
The smaler one is 20x20x20 the larger one is 20x20x32
Personaly I like the larger one better but i'll go with what you want. (there is 2 of each one without the glass)
I'm planing to make some custom textures to make them look better btw so this is not final.

Computer - Espen180Daubster both the base and holder aren't, choose each one you like. And Dragon Fly, I prefer to use my own battery design, this way it's original and more intresting. I thought on making something completly diffrent that doesn't look at all like a battery and much bigger. Such a small and crude device doesn't seem like it's going to power the whole portal.
Battery 1 - Dragon Fly
Battery 2 - Elon Yariv
Oxygen Tank - Ant
Hydrogen Tank - Strider
Satelite Dish - PenguinBoy
Alien Crystal - Urbanebula
Portal Framework (Base) -
Portal Framework (Portal "Holder") -
Portal Electronics - Kinrah

I didn't think that that's why I made a big one
but someone said 20x20x20. My 1st consept was like 40X40X80
Well if you don't need it I might go back to my orig.

Yep, you may, since my one will be bigger then 40X40X80. Big mechines give a feeling that something big and important is taking place! And since I can use spirit I can make many nice moving mechines/pumps ect. Although that I thank you for sending the battery, might inspire me while I'm making my reactor!

Shrink the image down, and remove that whitespace if you're going to show whole images here from now on.

This is the portal? No offence but I expected something big and fearsome. This tiny and crude object looks like it can be powered by one of those battreys the HEV suit uses.
Besides isn't that the portal holder it self? The portal is the pink/green/blue gateway that is created by the holder. I think you confused between the two

Yes. please make a big portal cause that looks more like a portal between the maps.
How bout something star gate sized?
Also. make that image smaller my screen isn't 2000 pixels wide and I hate scrolling left/right as I read.

No thank you, the reactor is enough and I wont take your part, as I understood from the portal you made, you will make the hub. I am just advicing you to make a bigger portal, it will look better and make it look like it's the center of the whole mod. Doesn't have to be a star gate, it can everything you like, something like Hl1's portal or the one you can see in my profile, but it's up to you. But I beg of you to make it big, remember how big it were in Hl1 and what an impression it left on you when you first saw the portal.
But if the hub is the portal, then what is the holder?

Agreed.
The bigger the portal, the stronger the effect, when stepping into it.

Whatever happened to the idea that we would build our own sections of the hub to a set size and assemble it at the end? My entrance will probably need to be specific to my map.

Post #213824
Unfortunately, anything other than software mode crashes the game if there's even the tiniest little leak. So I'm stuck with it. But, since there's no leaks at the moment, I'll try getting screenshots of it in one of the other modes.
And I've just got a section of wall textured with one of the exit signs for my hub passage.
Ant- yes.

Ok people, we need to sort out this main hub. We need to know the sizes of each persons personal entrance, and where they're going to fit into the scheme of things. Here are some rough designs i just drew up:
Personally, i think something along the lines of the last one would be good. So what do you think? What should we do with the hub and what sizes should we make our little portal rooms? Should they even be rooms at all?

Well those layouts could quite easily incorporate ramps or stairs in the hallway entrances/areas leading up to the main portal. It's only rough, remember, and it's more about deciding the location of the individual portals.
