PMK maps are the best I have ever seen. Every detail of every map is flawless. I am continually amazed at the perfect balance between difficulty and fun. Out of all the maps I've played... and I have played everything worth playing... PMK maps are the ones I enjoy over and over again. This latest map pack is incredible and deserves the highest credit for the introduction of the cake slice collecting.

Thanks dude. I'm glad you liked my little surprise when you get the WCC. As for putting the feature on bonus 5a into other maps. I probably won't as I really hate the fact I had to mess with sv_cheats to get it to work. I am planning on doing at least one more map for Portal but I have no idea when that will be ready. I havn't started it yet.

You mean that it has the sv_cheats 1 and 0 showing? Cause if that's the ONLY thing you don't like use "hud_saytext_time 0" this makes the text not appear at all and all other HUD will show if there should be some. Now if it's not what you meant but at all that people can use noclip by accident (bind) or like can't get achievements, i see what you mean.

I agree, this is one of the best map packs out there. I've played all five of these maps multiple times.

I don't think it's better than hen7's Portal TFV mappack. But yes these maps are really awesome.

I didn't say it was better than hen7's TFV, I said PMK was ONE of the best ones, not THE best one.

Agreed, I just played PMK 1-3, fantastic. Couldn't be happier with the maps! Some glitchable problems but, nothing that impeded on the maps playability.

I know, i was tired, i meant to put a "though" in, which would give the sentence a new meaning

To minimise the risk of leaving players with sv_cheats enabled when they quit the map prematurely, I would recommend to only have sv_cheats enabled while the effect is active, and turn it back off as soon as the timer expires. (Also the hud_saytext_time.)

I will definitely use this in my next map pack.

I can't thank you enough dude. I'm really pleased that you enjoyed my maps. I strive to get the fun/difficulty balance right and I'm really glad you mentioned it. Thanks again dude

On a side note I wanna say a few details about the PMK 1-5 map pack I'm working on. I'm gonna add 6 cake pieces to PMK 1-4 which will unlock the bonus maps like PMK 5 (same ones from my previous map pack btw) but since PMK 4 never came with bonus maps I'll make two new ones for them. Also I'm gonna update the old bonus maps so they have start/finish elevators and generally look a bit tidier. Lastly, what does everyone think to manually installing the map pack as opposed to using a bmz? I only ask because I have to bspzip everything for bmz's. I don't mind either way I'm just curious if it's a big deal
