Youtube Playlist for Portal Pro Advanced Maps
For my writeup on Portal Pro please click this link.
There are 5 advanced chambers in this mod. They are not very challenging but still quite fun. I hope you took the time to go through them yourself before this, if not please do!
My next series of walkthroughs will be for Gamma Energy.
If you have any videos you would like me to make, please ask.
I have added two new videos to my youtube channel. These two videos are brief demonstration guides on how to reach new heights in Portal, as both focus on the accumulation of momentum. Continue reading

This modification is a map pack given a wrapper (menu). But maps are all you need for a portal puzzle game. I highly recommend this ‘Mod’ to anyone looking for a challenge. Continue reading

I will assume if you are reading this and are interested in Portal Mods that you have played though Portal 1. For the first step into the modification realm I highly recommend Portal Pro. It doesn’t require the perfected 3rd fling and focuses on fun puzzles. Continue reading
One of the first things you will want to do if you plan on spending some time playing portal is set up the game as you are comfortable.
First enable the developer console
Press the key to open Developer Console | Default is the button above Tab
bind “[key]” “[command]”
Will cause a command to occur whenever you press the indicated key
fov_desired “(number)”
Type in your preferred field of vision into console | 90 is default
dlight_debug
bind “f” “dlight_debug” | creates a temporary light source
create_flashlight
bind “f” “create_flashlight” | creates an immobile permanent light source
noclip
bind “q” “noclip” | toggles free movement when q is pressed
notarget
enemies cannot target you
sv_cheats “0”/”1″
typed into console enables noclip and notarget above
I plan on demonstrating a few basic techniques before attempting any advanced walkthroughs. You will find in this short video an introduction to tossing a delayed portal.
Tossing a Delayed Portal will allow you to save time and reduce repeated tasks.
Task:
You have two raised platforms on either side of a wall. You need a portal on platform A and platform B. You neither have a line of sight to shoot a portal, nor anyway to get back up to platform A if you jump down and take a shot.
First lets examine our equipment:
When you pull the trigger on your standard issue portal device a concentrated mass of energy is expelled and understandably moves on a slow but constant vector. Even if your portal device moves it will continue until it hits a solid surface. Now once it hits that surface and only then will your previous portal be closed and opened a-new.
Now for the application:
Portal – Rating and Rating Method Explained

When rating I will look at the complexity of puzzles, originality, and enjoyment. In my opinion it is important that puzzles make sense, if you aren’t sure you completed a challenge the way it was intended that is bad. Also I take into account difficulty of execution; if you figure out how to solve a chamber in the first 60 seconds, but do not complete it within 20 minutes that is just stupid.
A portal modification should be much more than mapping and general game play. If the mod has an original story, creative use of mechanics or new models it should receive these points.
These are the icing on the cake and required if a mod wants 100/100
Hello and welcome to FlingME~
My name is Wayne Grace and this is the new project I am working on.
I love puzzle games and spatial puzzles the most.
I thought I would stop playing Portal when Skyrim came out, but I still can not stop.
I will be using the space this site provides to review several portal 1 mods and provide walkthroughs for the advanced maps in a few.
I hope you find the information at least helpful if not somewhat interesting.
FlingMe~
