Don't know why anybody hasn't mentioned this yet!

Nice find! That'll be awesome.

You link me to a sweet Portal 2 video, and I end up watching this.

Was disappointed in the puzzles in P2 though I loved the rest of the game. Looks interesting. I hope this is idiot proof as I have no mapping talent and would really like to get to make some tests for a change.

Maybe because this is off topic?

Anyway, I've always liked making maps but doing it good in hammer is pretty hard. I made one map for Portal 2 that was cool, got lots of downloads too.

What he said. LOL The Portal 2 forums is bustling with talk about the new DLC (and the video... hee hee hee!) And I'm excited too.

Looks fun.

What about things like props, scripting, and lighting? Or the I/O system? Does it let you play with things like that or is it like dragging and dropping little set-pieces together?

Heh, I'm in the same situation as you. I've tried to make a map several times, but as soon as I open Hammer, I think "♥♥♥♥ that!", and I close it. It's way too hard!!!

I've actually worked with Hammer. It's challenging to work with, but ok. I just couldn't find a decent map FAQ for learning from.... Everything seemed to have only half the information I needed.

Yeah, those guys who make maps deserve a medal.

If it's not you can still export it to hammer later.
