I love how quickly outdated this video is, since it's finally out of Beta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

[@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.

[@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.

[@zenyxcz4240]

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

[@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

[@PibV_]

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

[@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

[@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!

[@Simmyono]

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

[@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.

[@iinkstain]

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

[@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

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

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

[@jackschultee8065]

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

[@cookila]

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

[@CucamongaGuy]

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

[@StanleyLikesCyan]

You do realise it's out right?

[@jamesinasyay3065]

Bruh in just the first 2 minutes I expected this to be a channel with way more subscribers, but then I went to subscribe myself and lo and behold, taste of flesh levels underrated.

[@graciouslump9695]

you actually made this tutorial fun, props mate. props indeed, alot of props.

[@iantaggart3064]

My gratitude is inexpressible by words alone.

[@YourSeriousDev]

love the intro and brilliant video you deserve more subs

[@pitzidoeseverything]

dudeeee thank you sooo much vor making this video it saved my life :D

[@the_longest_comment]

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

[@ale_buhanka]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@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

[@moltonvods]

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

[@moltonvods]

Thanks for the heart

[@ptyps]

I love your humoUr! Great video!

[@derderdenolmbadet]

awesome dude!

[@YaBoiJayden]

Wow this is pretty good of a tutorial keep it up

[@Jabutimado]

Whoa! finally a tutorial on hammer that makes me laugh instead of just taking 1 hour to do something!

[@gdaygday4170]

This is actually a class tutorial

[@szymontakszymon5120]

0:06 Hi Stanley the person. Nice vid Like really. Its high quality, I dont understand why do you have so small views.

[@CrazyNoobb]

Thanks now i can make my maps in style!

[@OhMyShad]

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

[@aquaUI]

this helped so much and it was funny

[@RustyMahkra]

just Amazing!

[@jessicavillaneuva5829]

Man, I am so happy he is a person :)

[@user-sh2ei5rp4z]

This is a story of a man named Stanley

[@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 )

[@memor22]

From the intro i already like this guy

[@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

[@tikycookie7760]

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

[@purrycat2926]

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

[@lori_real]

Thx a lot

[@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

[@rosieraccoonforreal]

finally a fellow brit i can finally learn

[@sbeb8414]

1:35 *moment of silence for all the people who tried this because they thought it would actually work*

that helped me thx

Thanks you Stanley the person 😉

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

[@nery2981]

hello bro, awesome video! i have a problem though: when i click on "run map" , the normal and the expert, it doesn't work. it opens the terminal and does its thing, but then nothing happens. do you have like a fix or something?

[@orion1582]

been having the same issue, been trying to use different settings and the like but nothings works quite yet :(

[@nery2981]

@@orion1582 for me it worked eventually. Maybe try to reboot or something

[@craz2580]

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

[@SkyDominus]

nice

[@kokosh89]

Hey, very nice series of turtorials but could you help me? Can you give me the compile/run commands of default in run map advanced window? i accidentally deleted them and now my game doesn't start :/

[@codesoft.mp4]

Same issue here.

[@babyboy5567]

nice video

[@totalanimalactionofive9980]

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

[@moltonvods]

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

[@Cran_imations]

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]

@@Cran_imations I have seen items from portal 1 in portal 2 like the old fizzlers

[@Jackfriendjoe]

youre a lifesaver

[@hhxa23]

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

[@SyPhase]

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.

[@CooperationConundrum]

good stuff

[@ativan6959]

woah i wasnt expecting you to be here :D

[@RiadRiad]

Here to make a map for ur stream

This Hammer tool was out when my brother and I were babies.

"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!)

thank you now i know what hammer is BECAUSE IM A STUPID SON OF A [file redacted] i liked and subscribed

1:11 is actually an accurate representation of all MacOS users (except my mom)

[@Galaxxygem]

0:07 "And I'm a person"

why did that Mac thing actually make me laugh

[@Lege19]

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

finally, a person

[@carbord_SD]

thanks

[@kol-real-fr]

Hey i followed your tutorial, but when i try to load my map it says it cant find it, and i dont know whats wrong, do you think you know whats wrong?

[@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

[@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

[@Cali6pack-styx]

how do you only have 715 subs you should have 100,000 subs

[@nemanom]

what's the portal 2 portalable wall texture? i cant find it

[@insertnamehere2062]

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

[@insertnamehere2062]

(I do use windows so my parents came back to me but my dad came back with a carton of milk 😃)

[@monitorhittinghammer413]

As soon as I spawn an entity, it becomes a missing texture block, also as soon as I try to select different entity, there are no entities in the list, why is this happening, anyone help, please!

[@trueelliedev]

huh... why i got the wireframe thingy? i can't see any texture... pls help me

[@moonmatthew]

When i try to run The map, it shows some errors and doesnt start portal 2,i tried everything i could think of, help pls

[@mrsilverman]

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

[@willyyoutube329]

When I did the run map thing it did not work is there any way to fix it

[@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

[@azzy422]

I made a map and when I run it it just goes back to the editor and also iv run it on editor and its done the same thing

[@LukeYTP]

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

[@Bleplar]

Man looks like Tommyinnit if his parents were related💀💀 Anyways good tutorial man, keep it up👍👍

[@nickbits-ii8my]

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

[@16-bits87]

i dont have portal 2, theres a way to get portal 2 authouring tools?

[@gabrielawad611]

For some reason it doesn't apply the texture when I switch to 3D textured. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

[@StanleyLikesCyan]

Did you create the block first of all, many people seem to not press enter after they create it.

[@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
