I haven't played it yet, but it looks beautiful.

This map made me sad...
I always look forward to "Old Aperture" maps because they're usually riddled with loopholes that allow to speedrun the map extremely fast.

But, you sir, have made a very near-bugless map.

There is one bug I found at the beginning of the map you can skip the first room by shooting a portal through the grate onto a wall in the next area. This lets you skip a little bit, but not much.

Satchmo - Thank you, sir. Means a lot coming from someone who I know actually pays attention to the aesthetic details in their maps. Let me know what you think after you play it.

Tyronis3 - Hehe. Old Aperture is very difficult to design in for that reason. I'll correct that bug when the map gets a bit more downloads and more things pop up. Thank you for extensively testing it in that way.

Great map.Lotta thinking and timing.Especially the bridge part.I stared at that for a good 10 minutes thinking WTF now what.

Old aperture is my favorite style. I like the new way to gain momentum by painting the floor and the ceiling with blue gel and bouncing up and down.
It is not an easy map. I haven't worked out how to get the box behind the death grid yet.

Andyb - Thank you. Light bridges are one of my favorite elements to work with, so I was absolutely thrilled to think up ideas to change its perspective to the player. I'm glad you enjoyed playing it.

smwlover - Old Aperture is my favorite, too.

For the part you are having trouble with, take notice of the signage I've given below the death field. If that doesn't flare some light bulbs, [spoiler]another way to think about it is to remember how you gained the momentum to get the box in the first place. Also, remember that the player weighs more than the box.[/spoiler]

If you still are stuck, I can PM you more hints or the solution. Totally up to you.

Nice map, but i'm not sure i've used the correct solution for all..

For the cube behind the laser part, i [spoiler]painted the bridge with the blue gel, by changing the portal from the gel to the bridge, then take the cube when it was jumping[/spoiler]

For the second part, also the cube after the laser i [spoiler]take little run-up with the cube in hand and throwed that.[/spoiler]

Infernet89 -

Thank you for playing. [spoiler]For the first part (the cube and the light bridge), the intended solution is much simpler than what you described. What you are supposed to do is to paint the middle island (with the box switch and the flipping panel), place one portal at the light bridge source, the other one below the box, hit the box switch, and hop, using the gel, to the light bridge source to pass through the portals and grab the box.[/spoiler] I'll fiddle with the vclips, but blue gel causes an unpredictable "chaos theory-esque" component in boxes.

I'm not quite sure what you meant about the second part. [spoiler]I'm assuming you used the propulsion gel to throw the cube over, which is the intended solution. Most people, I would assume, will figure out that they have to use the runway a third time (first for the box switch, second to collect the box) to hoist them and the box to the laser's edge. Due to the weight of the player against the box, they should hit just below the laser field while the box goes through.[/spoiler] If this is not what you meant, I apologize.

Again, thanks for trying it out!

I love old aperature maps and this one was great looking and ran fairly smooth, however I was disappointed that there were no faithplates which would have been fun. Also, it was difficult getting the cube off the moving platform thru that small area in the fence. You had to angle it just right unless I was doing it wrong - don't know. Loved the Cave Johnson humor - that's always a nice touch. I wish it had been longer. All-in-all very good. Keep them coming!
