[SP] Decode

what i do wrong?

What a glorious and awesome map! It gave me a good one-hour brainwave. I like the concept that you should work out two puzzles to get the balls, and the two puzzles are related in the meantime. The first puzzle(three faithplates) is a bit confusing but it made me think and finally got the solution. And it was really an "Aha" moment when I finally worked out how to get the reflector cube. And to solve the puzzle, you have to go back to puzzles you've solved.
I appreciate your idea to involve decoding in the map. I love it when I finally put a portal to get to the small hole at the ceiling where there was a turret, the DANGER sign was right in front of my eyes, which seemed interesting.
I give you a 5 out of 5!!! :1up: :1up: :1up:

You seemed to have the order reversed. The button in the very left is No.1 and in the very right is No.8.

As stated above, you have the order reversed. It's just like indicated on the rows of lights in the puzzle rooms :) Except for actually getting the final door open, you solved the map though. Congrats!

Thank you Valve for quicksave.

It was a challenging puzzle, made harder because of a remote jump to catch a cube - for me timing jumps to catch things get boring after the 5th try...this one took me a lot longer. For me maybe a light bridge to deflect the cube would have been better...
Counting of the ball pads 1-8 or 8-1 was also not guided, fortunately someone already made the mistake in the forum so I didn't have to - thanks.
Clearly, a lot of effort went into the map, much appreciated, but I think most players will get frustrated and seek a walkthrough rather than grind away.
Thanks for creating - oh yeah 5/5....

Very nice, took me quite a while to solve this.

I found something that "might" break something. I haven't tried it but one might break the puzzle by throwing the

Hello all,

Interesting level. Somehow, I'm stuck--I just can't see what the next step might be. I entered the connecting chamber and opened the three doors. I have retrieved one sphere from the large room with four faith plates. I also opend the "trap door" high in the ceiling. I entered the re-direction chamber and saw there is a shaft leading up, but I cannot portal up there. I have also been in the chamber above the eight glass-enclosed receptacles. So far, I have seen no fizzlers or funnels. What am I missing? Thanks in advance for any hints.

Ok, solved faith plates.. I think I missed something though.. progress bar above door shows 2 "dots" left to go.. got sphere, and of course opened panel. From what I have read, I understand the 2 "chambers" are related.
Perhaps I come back later? Have been in both parts of laser room, but can't find a way up? Hmmm maybe up is somewhere else? Hints?

Excellent map btw 5/5 so far
