Portal 2 Perpetual Testing Initiative Questions Thread

[BlackoutIsHere]

In an attempt to unify the many threads that have or will be started about the new DLC I am making this thread as a list of information and questions.

Q1: How will the maps be distributed?
A1: Maps will be distributed using the steam workshop.

Q2: What time will the DLC be released on steam?
A2: Unknown

Q3: Can elevators be made?
A3: Unknown

Q4: Can levels link to the next map?
A4: There are collections, so if you subscribe to maps in that order after finishing the map you can play the next one in line. Thanks Motanium!

Q5: Can old aperture maps be made?
A5: So far I have only seen clean maps

Q6: Hammer maps sometimes have additional content that has to be downloaded as well with the map (new props, music, etc). Will there be an easy way to add them to the download with the map when using the workshop?
A6: Unknown.(The workshop does have this functionality as it is seen in garry's mod 13)



Feel free to ask/answer questions and to add information.

No, I meant the time of day. Example: 1:00 AM EST

I still have questions

1) can be done so that people have to go through two or, more cards?

example;

le01.bsp
le02.bsp

2) The elevators can be done?

That is not really a specific question so I assume you are asking about old and run down aperture.

On 1, there are collections, so if you subscribe to maps in that order after finishing the map you can play the next one in line.

No, I do not mean it that way, I want to know whether it is possible to add the same blocks, walls, floors, stairs, and so on?

Ok, my bad! (it is a good question though) So do you mean saving the position of several objects like a template?
