I've Decided to take on a project which I think hopefully will benefit the community.

What others have done for their projects has been to record a blind run of the maps they played. Me however, I have decided to Upgrade and re-make maps which score 2/5 or lower on the DLC.

To start of what hopefully will be a good collection of upgraded maps (and hopefully to show the mappers which recieved the lower rating marks what they could do to their maps to potentially turn it into a 3/5 or higher!)

Below is the list maps I have remade:

(pu_001) mysteryman141 - sp_laser_test Originally marked 1/5

_____________________________________________
Additional stuff:
These maps are my own view on how to upgrade, I do not take full creative rights over what the original map creator wanted intended solutions to be, nor how the map wanted to look like. I have referenced the original map creators link page, and name so others can view their work too.

I have attempted to keep the map to look or feel like the original, however putting my own twist on it and or updating the looks or feel of map

i actually feel completely stupid btw... >.< worked so hard at correcting the origonal fault in that it was too easy, and litrully forgot about the easiest solution! HAHA

Updated:

[spoiler]Previous map, you could use the cube to open the door without doing special portal placements... now a little harder ^^[/spoiler]

It has an entrance and an exit at least.

I found you don't need portals.
[spoiler]You can easily place the redirection cube so that it activates the laser receptor even with the little piece of wall that is suppose to block this as a solution.[/spoiler]

Continue testing.

Why re-make bad maps?
95% of the time bad maps have bad puzzles, making the room look better won't fix the bad puzzle.
Most very bad maps have a very simple puzzle that is inserted in a wrong way. Fixing this will only leave a very simple puzzle. IF you would have added 10 of these crappy rooms it might be interesting but one crappy map upgraded so it can still be solved without a portal gun? No thanks.
1/5; why was this uploaded? from me.
Why not spent your time on something new?

Are you using decompiled maps?

Sorry Silic but 1 out of 5 for this one.
I must also ask, why upload this" ?
Just a Cube, Laser, and Door. I do not understand.
