Your vid is the same as xdiesp's.its not the proper way to do it.You skipped 3/4 of it.The OP needs to fix it so it cant be done that way
Xdiesp has sent me a pm on ways to improve my map. I have fixed the exploit that is in the video and with Xdiesps help, will get the map up to a better standard.
Cool.Cant wait to try a new version
Is that right, what 3/4 are you talking about? Why don't you make a video.
Sure you can walk it a little longer, but I just tried again and I still don't see how to use the fan. And again, it sucks being stuck by the broken stairs right before the exit. Unless it's part of the gameplay to skillfully bypass that railing.
The following is the 100% intended way of solving the map: as you can see, much of the good stuff can be skipped. The next update should fix the exploits and feature these acrobatics.

Sure you can do it your way at this time.But if you happened to look at the 1234 numbers around the chamber its easy to see you skipped it.Whats the problem? And the fan does nothing in first version for me unless you try the ramp but there is nothing to land on anyway so it was useless.
Nice xdiesp.Must be a newer version?Seems different than the one I used.The one I used had no platform coming up till after button was pressed and that was after getting the cube all the way to the other side and set on pad.I also just used the angled platform with funnel to drop the bomb on the glass and to get into that room.It only turned off the fan for me.Didnt raise a walkway.
In the version that's uploaded here now, the platforms on the other side pop up when you press the gel button.

Yes, it would be a good idea to deploy the fan somehow. As for the numbers 1234 around, it's dark enough in the chamber not to even notice them. Besides, those numbers give little tip. The simple solution comes naturally, so to prevent it some portal surfaces should definitely be taken away.
Thanks, it clarifies.
Your map had the potential to be a lot of fun, but so many little things spoiled the experience.
The darkness at the back of the room and the low angle of incidence in the line of sight prevented me from seeing the panels flipping up and down. For the same reason, it took me quite some time to realize that there was a button switch back there, too.
Not being able to see these elements led me directly to the shortcut others have shown.
All the gel slathered around made it hard to stay on the platforms. I know that most people play with a keyboard and mouse, so they can run in a perfectly straight line every time. I play with a PS3 controller, and weaving slightly while on propulsion gel will throw me in the water every time. How about some railings or a backstop?
Although I did solve the puzzle once using the faith plate, I didn't need it because
Since the fan isn't running when the map starts (I never saw it running, anyway) you can solve the puzzle without the funnel or the bombs. I presume that you meant to have the fan blow you off course during a fling, requiring the player to disable it.
I think if most of these problems weren't in the map, I would have quite enjoyed it. If you patch it up, it might be one of those maps I play several times just for the fun of it. Unfortunately, it had too many problem for me, so I gave it a 3/5.
