[SP] Mobius Chamber 1
Quote from Vandread83 on May 30, 2011, 10:56 pmif you jump through the hole when the panel raises to expose the bouncy cube you get caught by the panel as it lowers and it traps you...
not sure what is actually triggering it to raise..

Quote from Vandread83 on May 30, 2011, 11:22 pmWas pretty good, [spoiler]ended up getting stuck from a random insane bouncefest and taking the back way out of the room with the blue gel and the button in the ceiling. and died a lot on the next one... but was fun. Looking forward to the next.[/spoiler]
2nd playthrough my reflection cube got stuck in the cube dropper, for some reason it didn't fall before the door closed on it and it was stuck, destroying the weighted cube made it spawn a new one but wouldn't push the reflection cube out of the way.

Quote from mickyficky on May 31, 2011, 2:27 pmI can't really say much about this map, except it seems to set all of portals control issues up against me. I get in weird jump loops because of blue gel, I get stuck behind retracting panels, I get blue gel on a cube and it jumps up in the gel dispenser and stays there...
A lot of needless stuff seems to get in my way and kills me, and not because I did something wrong in the puzzle solving process, but because I accidentially stood in the wrong place and stuff like that.Visuals seem descent.

Quote from Killerblonde on May 31, 2011, 10:19 pmYeah, a few of those glitches you mentioned I have no idea how to fix... getting stuck behind panels happen much less however, it used to be every single time the elevator panel opened you would fall through it. Fixed it kinda sloppily, but it works better now. (Used an invisible door to bounce the player up so the panel 'catches' them.)
The cube dropping glitch I thought I fixed. I gave it a delay of 3 seconds, the two cubes should not get stuck, and they drop straight down. Interesting glitch right there.... however it would be semi realistic to have something go wrong in a chamber, [spoiler]and then because there aren't any employees anymore,[/spoiler] you are trapped and starve to death in a broken chamber. That would be major un-fun though.
I'm quickly learning how to make my maps better! Oh yeah, [spoiler]the lack of observation rooms was semi-intentional. I was too lazy to put any in, but I have a good reason that goes with the storyline I'm attempting to put together.[/spoiler]
I'm glad someone is looking forward to my next map! Not that I am
or anything.....

Quote from Killerblonde on June 4, 2011, 11:33 amInvisible gels on surfaces? I've never had that problem before. It must be your computer only, sorry. Speaking of which, do you get a wierd gel glitch I described at http://forums.thinking.withportals.com/viewthread-t3027.html, or is that another bug on my computer only?

Well, in response to that, I must say that I have been playing a LOT of custom Portal 2 maps lately and ONLY your map had this issue. You can see what I mean about it not being visible if you check out this video of me broadcasting it live: http://www.justin.tv/vertigoelectric/b/287254456 . It is around the 18:00 mark that I am playing your map and discover this issue.
If you continue watching you'll find that I gave up in the next room. Perhaps I gave up too early, but at that point I figured the map was faulty so I didn't bother wasting my time. I'll probably give it another shot if you can watch the video and just tell me that I was doing it wrong... then I may try again and figure out why my mistake was... until then, I just consider it bugged or faulty.
All in all, great design, though.

Quote from Killerblonde on June 4, 2011, 3:45 pmAlright, I watched what you filmed on my portal map. I have no clue what is making the gel invisible. It seems that the gel color issue isn't just my machine, so I'll have to work on that. I will add indicator lights into the next map to make it easier to solve puzzles. Standing on the button openes the panel above the cube in that chamber. (I know I should have made it more obvious, I will work on that in the next map.) I have no idea why the gels aren't appearing on the surfaces. Also, when you (or anyone) goes through that portal that made the arm glitch for a second, I can't figure out what is making it glitch either; the only trigger for it is the floor button. Maybe going through the portal makes ur body temporarely touch the button or something.... I'll try to make the next map more stable and fun to play. Sorry about that! I've said this before, but I'm just the newb!

Had I remembered it, I would have figured it out. I was tired and had been playing so many maps, I guess I just became absent-minded. Still, though, it's always a bit more confusing when you press a button and have no way of really seeing what it's doing. Indicator lights would be a great addition in this case.
I will complete your map, and submit a video of me doing so. I try broadcasting all of the maps I play. I'm thinking of providing a video to each author whose map I play. That would be fun.

Quote from smashy on June 4, 2011, 8:38 pmAlso got stuck (as in cant move) at chamber 3 @ animated panel. Didn't understand what caused the panel to reveal the cube - stopped playin after that.
