Co-Op is possible by changing the portal linkage ID, somebody just needs to figure out how to hack job the server from the console and it should be possible.. eh in theory ;)

No no no, each player has a portal gun. Player one does blue and orange, player two has green and… hmm… white. Puzzles require use of all four portals.

There’s always the 2D fan-made Portal (Flash-based) while ye wait:

Pretty cool for what it is, imo.

Argh there’s no edit. I meant one player fires.

The only way I can see Portal co-op working is if one play fires the blue portal and the other fires orange. Would be interesting.

Alexander… I’m probably feeling the same as you but in reverse? Haha in fact I’m probably slightly more swayed by my professional ties to 3d architectural modelling in 3D Max/Rhino/Sketchup/etc

Jim - while that's true, it's been helped with Crytek sending the Crysis SDK to a small group of Crysis mod teams (Obsidian Edge 2 springs to mind). UT3 mods have also been announced in their thousands too, some have even started working with Roboblitz. But there's no basis for the code of Portal to start working from - you can get something hacked together like exite, but it'll require the release of the "Orange Box" SDK code update before we can find out if we'll actually see true Portal mods (and not just custom maps).

There are also a number of quality custom maps over at http://www.thinkingwithportals.com . Check it out sometime. Our October mapping contest ends soon, and anyone can help judge the winner!

No SDK required, Just teh hammre

oh and it’s funny Thiefsie started comparing the editors, I used to build in hammer, and now opened sandbox to mess around; but nothing makes sense. I am apparently invalvefused with hammerlogic

I don’t think anyone is even sure what’ll be in the Portal SDK. Some people say the source code will be there, but that’s not official yet. It may turn out to be a Hammer profile and nothing more.
