[Coop] Reduce Reuse Refract

Page 1 of 3Next

Reduce Reuse Refract (v1.0) is a two part, difficult map involving lasers, redirection cubes, and of course, thinking with portals. For the first part, remember the map's name if you get stuck. Reduce, reuse, and refract!

This is my first map, and my submission for the summer mapping initiative. I spent way too much time on this, so please, submit your feedback and tell me what you think.
Good luck!

Disqualified for not including a VMF in the package. Sorry, dude.

Oh. Crap. I completely forgot that. Is it too late to attach and upload it?

Yep. Sorry.

Well. I guess my entire last week was for naught then. This is really an unpleasant experience.

Here is the link anyway, in case anyone wants it for any reason. My mapping motivation is gone now. *sigh*

It was stated very clearly in the rules page, and on the forum thread (which was bascially a copy/paste of the rules page) for the whole 2 weeks.

After the judging period is over, you can feel free to modify the map further if you would like.

I know it was. I even remember seeing it. I even knew at the time I needed to include it. Simply put, I screwed up and forgot. People make mistakes, and this was one of mine. I don't expect to win the competition but it is thoroughly depressing to have committed 90 hours to a map, only to be disqualified because I forgot to include something in the upload. All of that time and effort and stress to be for naught just because of one silly mistake. Again, oh well. I understand. It is just tremendously depressing and discouraging. Thank you for at least telling me.

Look at it this way - at least you made and released a map. I haven't done that in years because I don't have the time or good ideas. I was working on a contest map myself and stopped after 2 puzzles because of time and energy.

I'm sorry friend, but it's definitely not "a waste" by any stretch.

Fair enough. Maybe there will be another sometime soon and I can resubmit it after fixing it up or something.

Because I've been disqualified, should I reupload my map to the Portal 2 Coop maps section? Or will it be moved there with the others at the end of the testing period?

It will be moved there at the end of the judgement period. At that point you can edit the upload with your VMF if you are inclined to do so.
