I found a bug, the cube only goes one way, if a portal is placed on the laser side.

I had the same issue with the cube as the others. I just fizzled the cube and it respawned in the funnel room. The whole room that tilts the panel can be skipped by

going through portals in the first room with the funnel and shooting a portal on the floor in the laser/exit room while in the air.

In the BTS area I got killed by the falling light and had to start that area over. Save point or turn the kill trigger off on the light fixture.Other than that, it was an excellant map.5/5 from me

Very good maps! Puzzles were nicely done, not too hard, not too easy, but I found some bugs, for example you can get stuck in that small room with two doors, or in laboratories you can place portal behind strip light on the ceiling, also in some places in maintanence area that kind of going from one place to another one via portal was quite strange and confusing, but rest was ok and pretty good!

I haven't played your map yet, but I saw that you are using a custom sp_lightboard_icons.txt file.
DaMaGePy has a thread where it is explained how to pack files like this into
the .bsp using Valve built-in utility bspzip.exe:
http://forums.thinking.withportals.com/topic2761.html

The advantage of doing this is that the map will use your custom files, without overwriting any of the game's original files.
