How to Make Portal 2 Maps - Ep1: The Basics of The Basics (in Hammer)

[@meogen]

This was the best tutorial for Hammer I ever watched. It's the shortest and the easiest to follow while also making me laugh hysterically. Well done.

[@MrGermandeutsch]

I love how quickly outdated this video is, since it's finally out of Beta

[@therandomsomeone.]

it's out of beta, didn't release on time. embarrassing, valve.

[@MrGermandeutsch]

@@therandomsomeone. ikr

[@jonasschneberg3327]

@@MrGermandeutsch so i cant make this

[@MrGermandeutsch]

@@jonasschneberg3327 Well you can certainly do anything you could before with Portal 2's Hammer, but now with a few extra things.

[@DaEpikMan]

And his tutorial doesn't work since they updated the hammer editor... BRUHHH

[@hurricanepootis562]

Hammer actually works quite well on Linux over wine. I have fully compiled and pushed full maps using Slammin' Tools Hammer, and how Hammer++, using Linux. Wine with DXVK is swag

[@StanleyLikesCyan]

Oh, right. Well if you can do that then that's pretty cool.

[@MrOliPantz]

2:41 if you want to know what he did here is all the settings he changed: View > Screen Elements > Manifest Bar Tools > Options: 2D views | Default to 15 degree rotations, Top Left, One Below Top Left, and Two Below Top Left ON 3D views | back clipping plane, Model Render Distance 10000 3D views | Detail render distance 7200, Forward speed [somewhere in the middle, this is the best area and it differs from person to person but he set it at 4060] Maximize the black thingy

[@grubasekpl9254]

this got me into source engine mapping, best thing ive done, i could not have more fun makin maps in hammer, and now im waiting to come back to portal 2 mapping once the h++ gets p2 support, i feel we are close to gettin it

[@heckerhecker8246]

note if you keep portal open, open the console and type: map to run the map without re opening the game ( if ur lazy )

[@iantaggart3064]

My gratitude is inexpressible by words alone.

[@TSGPL]

so i just finished watching the video and i wanna say that i love the editing, the jokes, the pacing, and providing a lot of info without taking a long time and explaining it pretty well. very happy i found your channel when trying to find a good tutorial on how to use the authoring tools. cant wait to watch the rest of the tutorials and start making some nice levels!

[@ties_s]

You did what I was looking for in 7 minutes, while others did it over multiple episodes which are all 20 minutes long, thank you lol

[@zenyxcz4240]

You are so funny. I unironically laughed so many times, haven't cringed once.

[@nameless......................]

i can't wait to watch this series and not have a limited palette!

[@PibV_]

Dude ur videos are pretty great dude! I can tell you are really putting effort into them! Keep it up man

[@CudesniVuk]

Ive been following this tutorial for some time now, its been going quite well! Starting to make my own portal 2 mod. I get very weird bugs in hammer, but overall i am very satisfied with the progress so far. Thank you so much :D

[@mysticgaming3066]

Its the first time i have ever see a good tutorial That is Really Funny I subed

[@iinkstain]

you deserve so many subscribers, dont stop creating this stuff its absolutely gold.

[@SimmyonOG]

Super helpful and also funny! great tutorial thank you, i will be watching all the next episodes!

Great video man, can't wait for episode 2!

The editing makes this the best tutorial ever

[@Lege19]

until he said I'm a person I was genuinely worried

[@ale_buhanka]

This is the best Hammer tutorial I've ever watched!

[@purrycat2926]

3:42 I like this part because I am Canadian and its also zed in Canada

[@Peht-official]

"hi i'm stanley, and i'm a person" the perfect introduction for new viewers. if you hear that you know it will be goofy

[@memor22]

From the intro i already like this guy

[@kontroler123]

bro!! thank you so much now i can make a white room thanks!

[@combinewalkthrous]

Thanks man you are the one that teached the basics of hammer

[@prama_with_yomama]

i love this video. every thing in it is straight to the point, its not a boring video and has actual jokes, and it was easy to follow.

[@meremelloo]

yep. im subbing you are the person who isnt boring in tutorial videos. actually made me watch the whole entire thing.

[@quinnmaloney]

Best intro to the basics of hammer. Before this I was legit making my rooms from scratch using Shift E. The hollow tool is legit. Also, is there anyway to delete specific sections from a wally to make a custom doorway or hallway? Still learning and it seems like this is an important skill I'm missing to make the maps I want. Awesome vid! This channel is underrated.

[@StanleyLikesCyan]

Watch episode 3.

[@quinnmaloney]

@@StanleyLikesCyan Watching now, thanks!

[@CaberMan1]

when doing this I forgot this wasn't half life 2 hammer and spent awhile trying to compile the map with just a floor and not a room

[@gdaygday4170]

This is actually a class tutorial

[@OhMyShad]

1:35 Simple but effective, you made me spit my drink. Pog

[@flow1194]

1:46 thanks for clarifying

[@totalanimalactionofive9980]

I can't believe you put this much effort into a Portal 2 Hammer tutorial. You deserve more views, keep up making videos!

[@jackschultee8065]

What a great video. You deserve many more subscribers, my friend. Very thorough and comedic.

[@rosieraccoonforreal]

finally a fellow brit i can finally learn

[@moltonvods]

Amazing video Stanley the person thanks for the video also great comedy

[@moltonvods]

Thanks for the heart

[@bpnbeckeroo]

Thank you so much, I really want to make hammer maps, maybe a mod for portal 2. Learning hammer is not easy and having tutorials like yours makes this whole thing way easier.

“Hi my name is Stanley and I’m a person” Smart words

[@insertnamehere2062]

I use a Mac and after insulting me, my parents left me and the power is out

Thanks now i can make my maps in style!

Thanks you Stanley the person 😉

[@hamsrter]

Woah this tutorial is very usefull thanks! im starting to make maps in portal 2 and now i know the basics i was very scared of hammer

"we are out of beta and we're releasing on time"

[@derderdenolmbadet]

awesome dude!

[@mihirohiroka9615]

I never knew it was this easy to install [or get] hammer. Best tutorial [even in freak 2023, it still works!! I didn't have the issue around 5:36 But this [despite only having seen part 1] Is already helping me. I wanna make better chambers, and this is 100% gonna help!! I hope the other video's will work for 2023 like this one. Time will tell

[@THE-CRT]

I’m making a horror game with this, if I can find a way to make a mod rather than a fricking map but noooooo, I’d have to pay 25,000 dollars to publish a source mod.

[@StanleyLikesCyan]

No you don’t

[@StanleyLikesCyan]

ModDB is a thing

[@THE-CRT]

Wait a minute what if I want this on steam?

[@StanleyLikesCyan]

@@THE-CRT you may need valve’s permission but I don’t necessarily think you have to pay for it. (Don’t quote me on that tho) However, you can release maps on the workshop for free and without validation from valve. Up to u really what u want to do.

[@THE-CRT]

@@StanleyLikesCyan ahhhh gotcha, but without valve’s permission I’m going to direct towards a video called Making a portal mod - Part 1 made by Viewie

[@darioionutdamba3676]

that helped me thx

Classic 3kliksphilip vibes B) Short, insightful, and funny! I've made lots of maps for CSGO, but I'm learning "again" for Portal 2 because I want to make my sister a cool map for her birthday.

[@tikycookie7760]

thanks you so much i was using the stupid steam guides and they are not good you deserve my sub bro

[@hhxa23]

you just fit a 1 hour 40 minute tutorial into 7 minutes

[@RogueFireflyProductions]

"Hi, my names Stanley, and I'm a person." Would've never guessed with those eyes of yours XD (no harm meant, if you read this I'm a big fan of this tutorial series Stanley!)

[@mrsilverman]

Well; Stanley the person; Hello! I am Gregory the machine.

[@tudorcozma4144]

2:04 I think you're wrong because GoldSource is actually the engine that you are talking about when you say that it's a modified version of the Quake Engine. Source was created later and there's a big diference between Source and GoldSource

[@YaBoiJayden]

Wow this is pretty good of a tutorial keep it up

[@Pop4484]

why did that Mac thing actually make me laugh

Here to make a map for ur stream

[@CauseOfBSOD]

1:13 it is possible to get it to run in proton (at least on linux, which is what i tested) if you manually install the portal 2 windows files, but its EVEN MORE BUGGY

[@CauseOfBSOD]

basically, "run map" doesnt work you have to manually load it from the game

[@LukeYTP]

i bought portal 2 and 1 on my pc cuz of this video

[@Excali213]

Thank you for the video. But I have a couple of problems: 1. Initially, the map is created with the “read-only” parameter 2.When compiling the map, it gives the error "LoadPortals: couldn't read c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\portal 2\sdk_content\maps\testchamber.prt" And yes. The last problem cannot be fixed even by running the program as an administrator

[@nickbits-ii8my]

its not running portal 2 when i do run map on expert, or normal.

[@dlopez8104]

For some reason even though in the editor I see the room and the spawn point, for some reason I spawn in a black void in game

[@dlopez8104]

Nvm idk what i did but it works now

[@AdaptedClouds]

GLADOS: Please note: this tutorial maybe too good for your brain to process it all in under 10 minutes.

[@moltonvods]

When will the next part be available and can you show us how to get adhesion gel or items from portal 1

[@ChickenNugetSoup]

The gel will be shown probably soon, but the items from portal 1 can't appear in portal 2 if there are exclusive ones. (Just realized that this was a while ago)

[@moltonvods]
