Sure, I think it's great to see when one idea spawns another idea. It only adds value.

Great then! :notworthy:

Also, feel free to share if you have an elegant solution for forcing the player to shoot the 0:30 portal from your video in the marked area without introducing black tiles http://i.imgur.com/cs3ZqUq.jpg

Well, I think you did it perfect with that grate IF the intended solution is to fling like I did to reach the funnel (

Spoiler

I still can perform the same solution but now shooting that side wall you remark in your screenshot instead of on the other wall

)

Although, I plan a fewer steps more; this is to introduce just one of them (I still need to add 1 more move, for which I might add another side room behind a fizzler on the right side right after you enter the chamber)

Also, I could have added some water (covered with grate) on the floor below the funnel

Spoiler

is one allowed to do so?

that is not black grates, right?

Wait your comments before continuing :wink:

EDIT
Ouchh! Water forces black tiles around! :lol: Damn it... let's forget about water then... Or is it the grate that does? :roll:

That's correct.

Spoiler

Just that one portal from 0:30 bothered me, because then the funnel wouldn't need to be next to the wall and that was supposed to be a significant detail for the solution. That way it's not hard to execute and the funnel's position might act as a clue.

Fine then, I'll leave it as it is. Done.

Before publishing I experimented with water and stuff and also had the cube oscillating like in Chander's video but in a different context. That didn't work well as it didn't look like a simple puzzle anymore. And yes, it's the water that makes the tiles black. Not fitting when you put "white" into the map's title.

Don't assume that you have to keep anything exactly as it is on my map. Do as you please to achieve what you have in mind.

Hehe... I could change that in hammer

Yeah, I know, however the idea is to make it match as much as possible to the original layout

Spoiler

Also, the ending is the same...

It's name could be "Toncica's White Room [josepezdj's remix]" or something like that... I'll try to finish a PTI version quickly to send it to you to beta-test if you want, ok?

Spoiler

(I might introduce a few changes in hammer before release...)
