Quote from josepezdj on November 25, 2012, 10:30 amWhat the heck is happening today? I've tried 2 maps and both seem to be malfunctioning!
[spoiler]I've used the bridge to reach behind the turrets, grab them and throw them to the goo. Then I've pressed the button in a doubtly intended way by jumping from the bridge below and hitting +Use... but no cube was spawn! So I thought maybe the key was to break the glass of the observation room using a turret, and so I restarted the map and tried to no avail... Then I thought the maybe if I jump against the vertical floor-button I could open up the exit door, but nope... sorry, I just can't solve this[/spoiler]

I think only a rather small percentage of players has that controller. You should place a huge warning in the description that it won't work for everyone else to avoid confusion.

Quote from quatrus on November 25, 2012, 2:03 pmI can play using my mouse, so it's not just a controller (disable controller in panel).
The map is defective - got the turrets, not by laser but by jumping up behind them and grabbing.
The small cube drop button is activated by a ninja jump to the window top and walk over, no cube drops though just light on.
The button for the exit activates when pushed by jumping into it off a light bridge, but doesn't stay on.
What is the laser for?
Defective... back to work... Looks very nice though, maybe just a little dark. Did you have anyone play through this first?
EDIT 1: downloaded from your MAI site - same issues but maybe a bit brighter..

You can play maps made for that controller even if you don't have it. But usually you cannot solve them because you don't have the possibilities that controller gives you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LaezAuXC ... ed#t=0m30s

I sincerely think you're acting kind of egomaniacally
About the controller, hehe... to be honest, to me, thinking with portals is thinking with portals: the elements, the logic, your portals... what is it so special with your hydra controller deforming cubes and stuff to break every Portal element? have you considered that you are playing to a game completely different than the rest of us?
I think it is YOUR FAULT to have purchased that controller!
