[SP] Chamber 17 [R2 - Second Release]
Chamber 17 [R2 - Second Release]
Chamber 17 from the original Portal game reconstructed by Glados to incorporate new testing elements. Excursion funnels, Thermal Discouragement Beams and Panels.
Because of the removal of the High Energy Pellet (which I hated anyway), I have had to change the configuration around abit. Its not a direct copy of Chamber 17 but is only just loosely based on it.
--UPDATE--
This is the Second Release (r2) version of the map. It contains a much harder playthrough experience and refined mapping. R2 was release due to feedback from the TWP community. If you want an easier map download the latest version and omit 'r2' from the map command. I have incorporated most feedback; special thanks to: Kibate, SeriousMoh, xdiesp, mickyficky.
I am aware there are still numerous graphical glitches. To fix I would have to spend alot of time completely remodling. I would rather put these new skills into creating a newer better map. This map will remain as-is in terms of graphics. Sorry. :'(

"Oh, in case you got covered in that repulsion gel, here's some advice the lab boys gave me: DO NOT get covered in the repulsion gel."
I was able to solve the first puzzle without the funnel(i would have never known what to do with it, if i hadn't seen the playthrough after completing it on my own) i just shot a portal on a flat wall on a top floor and then redirected it into the receiver
the second puzzle was a problem though, stepping on it to flip it never worked for me, so i had to flip it outside of the room by throwing it around and then someway or another get into back into the chamber.
Well, the part in portal 1 was equally stupid XP
The new puzzle in part4(where you had shoot the cube and then yourself through the hole in the wall) was kinda fun, and i was able to solve part of it easier than in the playthrough
In the very last part i didn't know what to do so i somehow was able to throw(after several tries) to just throw it in. I didn't see the hole in the glass at all! Could have made it a bit more obvious.
All in all a good map but needs some work.
p.s.: i didn't knew how to open VPK files either, but i used google for help
Thanks SO much for your review. Helps alot! I'll update it now. Any suggestions on how to make the 'hole' more visable?

maybe changing the hole to this might do the job.
That might work, also you could remove two sides(the ones facing the wall) of the glass, that way when you look through the hole you would see the black wall.
Updated to version 1.1. Please redownload to update!

I just tried it, the advanced first puzzle, good job! Not only does it what it was meant for, but also it looks good!
Of course, trying to beat this game as fast possible this happened at the end XP
i guess nothing you can do about that though haha
Haha, I'd be pissed! This is where my map improves on valves P1 map. If any thing happens to the cube you can run back and get another! I might add a triggered staircase after you complete the 'fling' room. So you don't have to do it again. Yay! More panels! They are so much fun to make!
I got some messages from another forum saying "I didn't get to euthanize it! ". I might swap out the button for a fire pit >:D. Yay/nay?
Anyway guys thank you SOOOOOO much for the feedback. I really appreciate it alot! I have been at home sick as a dog this last week so I have had all day to work on it. Put a solid 80 hours total into it and it's all worth it when people enjoy it!
