[SP] Madness_1.3.3
A new version of the Madness_1 map with more difficulty and less repetitive (i've read all the critics of the first version and I have corrected them).
Then it's a harder difficulty map with portal paint and tbeams in a clean room 
The first version is here : Madness_1 (don't play this version, the new is really better !)
And even you've played the first version, this is really different.
Good luck !
Installation :
-Extract the zip content to the "C:program filessteam[Your steam account]commonportal 2portal2" folder.
-Accept to replace, else, you'll not see the icons on the sign.
-Run Portal 2, and type "map sp_madness_1" in the developper console.
Have fun !

The first version of this map wasn't too tricky. This version has me baffled. I cannot get paint past the turrets, because I can't figure out how to get both myself and the paint down the hall.
I tried to use recirculating gel (having the funnel cross itself with gel in it) but the gel doesn't go up the funnel.
You don't need sp_elevator_motifs.nut or sp_transition_list.nut. Just set the elevator speed and give the player the portalgun and upgrade it on map spawn. Valve used those files so they didn't have to program every map start separately. If you're doing just one map (or even just a few), it's a minor tweak.
I merged your sp_lightboard_icons.txt file with mine, but it isn't showing up in the level.
EDIT 10/26/2011: I got it, finally, but I must say that since I play with a controller, getting the gel in the funnel is very tight timewise. A slightly slower funnel would help. The lightboard icons are OK; I had an unbalanced brace in my file (Hey, Valve, ever heard of XML?)
Still, a fairly difficult puzzle, both in method and execution. I give it 4/5.

Haha yes it's not as easy as the first version but it is possible in an other way. If you need the solution i can upload a video walktrough of the map. Else i can just say use your brain, you don't need to speed very fast.
And for the elevator, ok i'll change that for the next maps thanks !
Man wheres a cube when ya want one lol.Yea I tried that recirculating thing to but to no avail.I'll figure this thing out yet.
I have done a video walktrough of the map.
Try the map BEFORE watching please.
Can you please fix your fizzler emitters. It's a little thing, but it really bothered me.
They should look like this -

Puzzle seemed pretty good, hard too. Had to look at the solution video to be honest. I never thought for a second you could
Who needs excursion funnels and conversion gel when you can bunny hop =D

This took me over an hour to pull off. I made it across 3 times but I kept getting killed right before I was out of range.
This is exactly why I use Notepad++. You can open a file with Notepad++, select a language (I would choose C++ for this, or choose any language that understands a brace, maybe XML 
), and highlight one brace and it will show you the matching brace. The best part though is that you can collapse the nested levels and get a better view of the hierarchy in the file. Great for files that have 20,000 lines as in Crysis. And you don't have to associate every new file type with Notepad++. Simply right click on the file and select 'Open with Notepad++', even binary files.
Not trying to push the program, just found it works wonders for me.
Okay, I watched the video. Man, I need a new pair of glasses. I don't know how many times I shot a portal in the 'hidden' space, but I never got one. When I saw the video, I just couldn't believe I didn't see it.
Great map: difficulty, hard; can be solved logically, Rating 5 of 5. Thanks for the fun.
), and highlight one brace and it will show you the matching brace. In the Valve Developer Community, there are language plugins for Notepad++ that parse various Valve file formats: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Notepad%2B%2B_VDF_languages
