Logic Portals : Levels [00-03]+NEW[04].beta

I like the fact that you're going for a slightly different visual style as well (indicator strips, don't listen to youme) and that the first real puzzle map (number 03) immediately starts using the tricks you've taught us in 00-02.
I mean even though I just played through 00-02 before coming to 03 I had to bonk my nogging everytime I realised that
Beautiful work. Give more!
Awesome work! Really loved the way you incorporated the lessons from the first map into the second one, it gave it a very professional, Valve-like flow. The use of new music was a great choice, and the new textures look very nice. Not sure why you couldn't use the original ones, but it really doesn't matter.
One small problem, however, was the implementation of the anti-gravity field generators (or whatever they're supposed to be called); they look friggen sweet, but the don't really do anything. Everything you did with them could have been done using a standard cube-dropper puzzle. No offense, it's a cool idea, but as of this map, there's no real reason for them to be there at all. The only thing I can think of is that you're gearing us up for the next release, which with any luck will involve the chamber shown in the credits, there they allow a button press to be delayed, i.e. a button opens one door/portal, but causes another to close, necessitating careful timing. Thus, chamber 3 would be both a test of previous skills, and an arena to learn new ones.
Anyway, great work so far, and I look foreword to Chamber 4!
I like the maps a lot. First time I played through any map or map set twice in a row. I had the same idea with the step-flinging but couldn't figure out how to implement it.
My only gripe is your custom textures. Not that you used them, but how you packaged them. You should put them into the bsp instead of having us put them in our portal/materials folder. This is because now all of your textures (which you gave the keyword "portal") now show up in my materials list. And I'm sure you don't want me to jack your materials. Plus, they show up between the portable and non-portable materials in the materials list, so double whammy.
I suggest using BSPzip.
I enjoyed the map a lot. However, I noticed a bit of a glitch. If the weighted cube is not spinning when the gravity field drops, it does not always drop. This was a problem for me, as I managed to grab the cube in Level 3 a little bit, just enough to stop its spinning, and then jumped again to deactivate the field. The result was a dropped field, a locked door, and me without a cube.
Hi, I can't answer to each message so I will do a summary.
GlaDOS doesn't speak much. When Valve will fix the custom scenes (.vcd) of the Orange Box, she will speak.
What you're telling about the radio is strange. The radio turns off after a moment, but should not when going through a portal.
For a reason that I know, logic markers (checkboxes, indicators) are using a custom style composed of white, black, grey, blue orange and green. It's out of the Portal style, I know. If I can give it another design that satisfies me, I will change it. The indicator strips are quite bright, I know, mainly because of the contrast with HDR. I should give it a lifting. About it, there's a main difference that is important in Logic Portals: It has arrrows.
Honestly, I'm asking myself if I should erase the fact that the game is in Aperture Science. The whole map is a joke. About the banners, it's some way to not get my map stolen.
The stairs are floating, because of an issue with Hammer about cylinders. If I can master them, or replace it, I'll do it.
The water causes lag issues. At the moment I'm wondering how I can create a cheaper water texture.
At the moment, the cube floaters are not really useful. Thay will however work as "cube catchers" and can be associated with a button like it does in the credits map.
BSPzip does not suit my case. As I'm doing a series of maps, the materials are used multiple times on different maps. Il would be lame to make the player download things on a map that will also be inside another map, increasing the file size.
Thanks about reporting the glitch on the floaters. I can fake it by applying a little invisible physics explosion near the cube to revive it.
Thanks for all the feedback! 
Note that I may will release a special "test" map that will show some experiments for new gameplay elements in Logic Portals.

Ah, that's fair about not wanting to use BSPzip. How about tagging them with a different keyword, then? Maybe your name. No offense intended, but as a map developer, it just feels obtrusive for you to forcibly put your textures in my list of Portal textures...

I sent you a private message in case you don't see this post. For all the others, here's a material fix that removes Logic Portals Materials from the keyword "portal".

Oh dont be a baby, geez doesnt really matter anyways, not like they get in the way, plus once you use all the textures you need in a single map you can just check, "used Textures" box.
Not everyone's a genius like you.
can someone link a youtube video for this , the part with the stair portals in level 3 i cant do, i can almost get high enough
