On October 22nd, 2008 a port of Portal was released onto the Xbox Live Arcade under the title: "Portal: Still Alive". Outside of being a simple port of the game, it included 14 new bonus maps which were based on Portal: The Flash Version Mappack made by Hen Mazolski. After 9 years, you can now play these levels on PC! The maps have been revamped a small ammount, with generally improved and shaprer lighting across the chambers. As well as this, our mod includes a mockup of the cut ending of the bonus chambers, was the same as the ending of The Flash Version Mappack, except with GLaDOS removed and other minor changes. It also includes the "GLaDOS Voice Map", a level made in 2009 by Hen Mazolski as a proof-of-concept for a GLaDOS voice actor he had acquired late in the development of The Flash Version Mappack, but did not put to use in the mappack.
Features List:
- The 14 “Still Alive” Chambers playable on PC with improved lighting.
- The Original Flash Version Mappack by Hen Mazolski.
- “GLaDOS Voice Map” by Hen Mazolski.
- Cut "Death Cube” texture used in Chambers 3, 4, 6, and 12.
- Mockup of the cut escape ending of the Still Alive bonus chambers.
- “Challenge” versions of the 14 chambers, with the original time, footstep, and portal amount values.

This will be the first of several projects by our small 6 man team, headed by Tyler McVicker, of the YouTube channel ValveNewsNetwork. He created this project after finding the Still Alive VMFs in the Portal leaks.
The mod should be played in conjunction with watching his video, "History of Portal: Still Alive":
This little project was very fun, and we're glad to have completed it so quickly. More projects coming when they are done!

How do I get the games to save? Nothing happens when I hit the save unlike the original game. When I go to Load, it's always empty. This is preventing me from trying the Least Portals challenge since saving will make life much easier.

I have only 1 question:
Do u (you) need Portal Installed to play this?

How do I play this? I downloaded it but I don't know how to play it. Do I have to put it somewhere? I dont have a games folder with portal mods in it.
Put it in the sourcemods folder in your steam directory
Right-click on Portal on steam, click "browse local files", then undo until you see all your games. You'll find a folder called sourcemods there. If not, create it. Plop the folder in, and you're done!

Here is an improved patched version of the mod
CHANGELIST:
1. The cubemaps in every map have been fixed (Pistons no longer appear black)
2. The skull cube skin is now separate from the mod and can be installed as an addon via the custom folder. (Still included.)
I never noticed the cubemaps being broken.
I have a question, where can i put custom content on this mod???
