I also started with portal gun

Anyway,map looks great, can't wait to try it

EDIT
Room 1: did it somehow too, don't know how
Room 2 was really easy for me, did it at first try
Room 3 looks interesting, but not so hard, gotta try it later

Uh, still stuck in room 1. Anyone who didn't solve it "by accident" and could give me a small hint?

So far mindblown...

Few pointers (from me at least)

i also started with a portal gun, but i have chosen not to use it so far as i read its a glitch, so its perfectly possible so far to complete this up to being given a portal gun, without it.

By the way, its the "sp_" part of your map name which is spawning the portal gun. Its not written into the portal2 code to add the portal gun on every "sp_mapname" map. Like has already been said, add a weapon strip onto the map, or just remove the sp from infront of the name, and have it just "heavens_gate" for instance.

One issue i have had so far:

DO NOT LOOK AT THIS IF YOU DONT WANT TO KNOW STUFF
[spoiler]Right to start with i fairly quickly noticed the michael jackson style thing you have going (i like the concept btw) However, on the wall i read the number (which i guessed would open the door) to be 1, 5, 4. i spent the next hour thinking that it was a sequential thing, and placing each cube on 1, then 5, then 4. and whenever i saw the wrong light light up, i would restart the map.. wasnt until i thought, maybe it means 10 (1+5+4) or there was meant to be a gap i realised to open the first door was to use 15 and 4.... yea, dont give me 3 cubes and only expect me to use 2 on the first puzzle! Damn you lol

But yea, thats my only hate of this map so far (i am stuck in the first of the puzzle rooms now) Making the way to get into the room a little clearer than it is already (just that 154 can mean anything, spaces would have been nice lol)[/spoiler]

Apart from that, brilliant map so far.. think its going to take me a while to figure out this one enjoying it tho!

Just solved it. I enjoyed this map, but speaking truly I expected something harder ( 2 and 3 was too easy for me). Password for each chamber was great idea, I also like how you designed this map
There are some bugs, glass in 2nd room sometimes becomes invisible, also you can shoot portal like that:

4/5

Btw I found another way to cheat a little in Chronologic ^^

Still at the first puzzle.

[spoiler]I have both cubes in the horizontal orange funnel in the starting room, so both fly into the end room together. Now I'm struggling to get myself in there.

The only way I see is:
- reverse the funnels via the button in the room with the two blue funnels and hop into the horizontal funnel
- in the next room (with the second cube dispenser) quickly jump into the next funnel going upwards into the end room
- have it timed right so that the laser grid gets turned off to let me through but leave the funnel quickly enough before it turns blue again

I almost get into the end room this way, I just can't leave the funnel quickly enough before it turns blue.[/spoiler]

Is this even anywhere near the correct way?

From the first room in chamber 1 [spoiler]get the cube and put into orange funnel.Go up blue funnel and through the fizzlers.Next room reverse the funnel with the button and jump into it.In that room shoot a portal through the laser grid and take the second cube with you.[/spoiler]Rest should be easy.This isnt correct way as your not supposed to have portal gun yet,But will let you advance.I havent tried correct way yet as I didnt know you were not supposed to have the gun.I know the password but it requires 4 cubes and there is only 4 but you need one on the button so you need 5 really and I'm still thinking about that lol

I also started with a portal gun. I also started with numbers by door 2, but after finishing room 1, the numbers are gone and I don't remember them. Is that right? I also had terrible visual glitches in room 1 when I had placed two portals, so taking away the gun would be a good idea.

Quote from andyb on March 15, 2012, 8:32 pm

The glitches appeared to me also in room 1 where everything went white and also the numbers were gone but moving around without looking at them let them come back.Possibly just overloading the engine maybe?
