That's a good idea, never though of that before. thanks, I'll be sure to add it in future maps!

GLaD you had fun with the maps. Also, since people say Portal is about 4 hours long...does that mean these two maps = 1/4th of portal in terms of time?! (in your case) O.O

Well, not for me. I am not one of those who hurry to finish a game. I took much more hours to finish Portal since I was trying some things and looking at eye-candy

Test Chamber 74:
(percentage calculation sphere self-test failed!)
108.1% done, -8.1% remaining...
Released here!

All maps for Portal (1/2) worth playing are mirrored here.

Well I did it in 15 seconds so hah!

I actually did do it in 15 seconds, but that was using a glitch in the map that I think is fixed now, my actual time is 1:24 and I will improve that to beat your time soon.

Bet you can't beat my Portal time (16:58.37)

My normal signature is ~100 pixels to big

I have to say, I can't believe my first attempt at the energy ball room was to solve it like I did in the speedrun. The size of the trigger field is like that in a TON of maps out there.

Just a heads up to everyone.

In my newer verson of my energy ball catcher prefab I fixed it. The reason it was so large was connected to a func_tracktrain that blocked the energy ball. Took me awhile to realise THAT was what was colliding with the ball.

Also, did you find any of the secret areas in said runs? Speedrunners tend to miss them... :wink:

I first played Packrat and found this thread which was for both maps. So I went back to Portal and played Cold Conundrum as well before making any comments. Both maps were great. I had a lot of fun playing them. They weren't too hard. And they weren't one of those maps which make you go crazy with flinging and jumping and such uninventive stuff Yeah, I had to invent the word "uninventive" as my English is not very good.

But I had a little confusion. You talk about ice floors and ice doors. I did see them in the map but I failed to see any difference they make from normal floors and normal doors. I played the map just like I play any other map without ice floors or ice doors. Can you give me a little hint or something?

Keep up the good work man.

By the way, what does BTS mean guys?

#20 · January 8, 2011, 11:00 am

BTS means "behind the scenes". It refers to the darker halls surrounding the test chambers, where the second part of Portal takes place (after chamber 19.)
