Ru/Art Therapy (Portal 2)

Карта из официального курса "Арт-терапия". Обратите внимание на токсичную воду, 'стадионные огни' и на часть снаружи теста.

Эта тема появляется только в кооперативном дополнении 'Peer Review'. Скорее всего, она была возведена после старой лаборатории, но перед современным комплексом. Тесты проходят в больших, открытых местах, которые выглядят как большие резервуары. Сами тестовые камеры не завершены, в потолке и стенах большие промежутки. Но они не разрушены - просто не достроены.

Лифты соединяются с камерой мостиками.

Тестовые элементы

Because this theme appears to take place just after the Old Aperture area, gels are used in almost every test. Toxic water is the main hazard, however it can be a bottomless pit, with cliff faces around the sides.

Excursion funnels, hard-light bridges and lasers are also used often, but most elements work in this theme.

Характерные особенности

'Резервуар'

Like mentioned above, the tests take place in a large open area, which is visible in transitions as well as at certain points in the test chamber. This area has to be larger than the test area, obviously, but usually isn't very full, aside from occasional gantries on the walls, and long metal beams going from side to side. There are also some large overlays of random 3-digit numbers. The chamber, as well as some elements, is supported by trusses, scaffolding, square beams and cables.

In the official maps, the walls of the resevoir area are textured with the props/plasticwall002 or 003 texture, with the texture scale at 0.50 (it is 0.25 by default). The floor is sometimes solid, but can be goo as well. If you use goo as a floor, you may want to add a 'tideline' overlay on the surrounding walls (if the player can see them).

Стиль тестовых камер

Throughout the test chamber, there are missing wall panels, sometimes exposing the 'anim_wp/backpanel' or 'props/plasticwall_002' textures, sometimes giving the player a glimpse into the area beyond. But remember - this isn't a destroyed theme! These gaps are sealed off by squarebeams and grating.

The roof is usually missing entirely, exposing hanging cables, square beams, trusses, and long metal beams. The floor is mostly pristine, however sometimes there's missing segments, exposing 'anim_wp/backpanel' textures. Sometimes, the floor is grating on top a squarebeam grid, supported by scaffolding.

Панели are used occasionally for things like staircases or barriers, but not often other than that.

Освещение

An in-Hammer example of how lighting is done in this theme.

Due to the nature of this theme, you'll be hard pressed to find a good place for observation rooms, the usual light source. Instead, lighting comes either through the roof, or through gaps in the walls , by means of the 'stadium lights' seen in Old Aperture. These are supported by trusses and square beams, and have a single 'light_spot' about 16 units in front of the model, and an 'env_sprite' in the center of each of the model's 9 light fixtures.

The settings for the light_spot are usually:

Property Name	Value
Brightness	255 255 255 1500
Outer (fading) angle	-60

The settings for the 9 env_sprites are:

Property Name	Value
Render Mode	Additive
FX Color	247 228 170
Sprite Name	sprites/glow04.vmt
Scale	0.9
Size of Glow Proxy	4

Placing an env_projectedtexture behind the square beams near the roof casts some epic shadows across your chamber - in fact, ALL of the official maps use a projected texture coming from the roof.

Примечание:It's OK if it doesn't come from a visible source, as long as you don't make it obvious.

Ambient Lighting

An in-Hammer example of the "lighting box" used for the ambient lighting. The 'skip' textured box is a 128 unit cube.

Because the BTS area of the map will be very dark without light sources, the official maps also put groups of standard 'light' entities near each top corner of the resevoir area, with the following settings:

Property Name	Value
Brightness	120 140 160 15
Constant	1000000002

There are 9 of them in a 128x128x128 box (4 at the front, 4 at the back and 1 in the middle).
