And you're definitely not gel strafing? :D

Raidix wanted me to test the map to see which times are possible
and that means I have to avoid using any glitches, cheats or other
things "a normal player" would not use.

I just kept playing the map over and over again and improved every corner
and after maybe 100+ laps I got my time down to 01:10.72, then 01:10.68
... some laps later 01:10.57 and finally 01:10.55 (which I got 3 times) :thumbup:

hahahahaha :lol:
awesome man!! :thumbup:

Great how you got the exact same time and cant believe it yourself... :lol:
But I have to say: You are loosing a alot of time at some places... you could still
get faster and get below 01:10.00 ... AND I don't use these "circle jumps" at all.
(You are hopping the whole track, altough its not a b-hop, its still faster - I Don't use that either)

Mmh yeah, I was trying to stop myself circle jumping... it's quite automatic, but the thing is you gain speed briefly every time you turn while moving, and if you jump at the same time you keep the speed untill you land. So for example, every time you cut a corner you gain speed. After years of portalling it was hard to make it not look like a bhop >.< Anyway, I've played too much - I'll beat you another time! Also, vid?

Yeah, I know its difficult to NOT use all these things, the portal game engine allows to do.
When I was trying to improve my times, I also did some circle jumps "by accident"... :lol:

Haha, if I would have recorded all of my tries, my harddisk would be full right now.
1920x1200x60 FPS uncompressed AVI recorded with Fraps, where 1 min = 4,1 GB... :lol:
I just used the demo recording of portal, so Raidix can see what I tried and what to improve.
(You cant play the demo, because you dont have the test map =/ ...)

Try to beat my time, and maybe I gonna try to beat yours then - with a video! :thumbup:
