[SP] Power Interference

PreviousPage 5 of 6Next

Just played the map. For some reason the death field was white. I was disappointed when the

Spoiler
funnel didn't pass through the grate
, but I found the intended solution not long after. A few construction oddities here and there (e.g. grating not inside a frame, the funnel frame 'sticking in the wall') but I think you're aware of all that. Thanks for mapping.

Oh, and as the previous reply mentioned, an autosave would make a good addition.

I played through this one again and found some stuff you'll need to look into...

Spoiler
- If you fizzle the second cube you can't solve the puzzle the intended way (add a dropper)
- The funnel-machine sticks out from the wall and is still not carved into the wall
- I'd add some more white surfaces that didn't play a part in the puzzle
- The textures are still a bit repetitive

Never use Logic to solve a puzzle, he's an idiot...

A much better version of this map, v2.0, has been uploaded!

That's quite nice ^^ I like how you can see the area behind the grate clearly now :)

Personally, I quite liked the fact that the surface behind the grate wasn't lit. It made me feel like Einstein when I realised it was portalable. xD

Adding some more random portalable surfaces throughout the test should make the solution to the rest of it a bit less obvious though. :)

I'm sure there's a rule about shouting in giant red caps... :p

I am indeed shouting here, to make something obvious ;)

It might have just been a graphical bug, but the death lasers totally killed me because they just looked like a big white wall.

That might be because I used a downloadable instance for a death fizzler (Basically, a fizzler and death lasers combined.) That's probably why it showed up as a white wall.. is my guess...

This is a missing death fizzler :(
UsCobra11; make sure you pack this with pakrat.

Personally I think that you shouldn't hide test elements (and then people say I do that :lol:)
More white surfaces are always a good idea, but it also increases the chance of ways to break your puzzle, make sure you test it properly :)

Anyways; haven't been able to play the new version, I'll do that later today.

Okay, I didn't use the companion cube (or weighted storage cube if you want to call it that), nor did I use the excursion funnel in the second chamber. I've uploaded just the ending in the second chamber for the sake of file size and upload time. If there was any way to break this map, I guess this would be it

argghhhhhh. There's always a way to do that alternate solution. I guess i could retract the catcher into the wall. Should of thought of that earlier...

Edit:
V2.3 is out. Alternate solution is fixed. I sure hope.

Well sir, it looks like I can't break it. I dickered around with it for a while, and nope, no can do. Unless someone else finds a way, then I'd say that's it.

Also, with that glass wall between rooms, it's a better alternative because if someone accidentally fizzles the weighted cube, they would need another, giving the need for a cube dispenser.

Great map! Blew through it in like 2 mins, EXCEPT FOR THE LAST PART THAT TOOK ME AN HOUR!!!! elegant solution, just took me a while!
