oops, my bad, i will add one in.... i am actually adding in a bunch of other stuff too.

Thanks, I'll wait for the update before downloading again. :thumbup:

updated the files. couldnt figure out why everything was suddenly shiney even though i removed the cubemap. There is a Ratman den, let me know if that radio is working when you find it.

Just when I think I understand the system, it changes on me.

This map was not fun to me, sorry. The puzzles felt not like something new to discover, but rather implementing old stuff and that in a painful and weird way. Also, the graphics were blant and looked unreal. Cubemaps were missing. The slime pit looked rather unfinished. Short: I stopped playing this map soon. (The moment the four spheres were visible)

Also: These two: The second is self-explanatory, the first shows a phys object clip, hindering me to transport that cube.

It's my FIRST MAP!! Don't expect every map you play to be pure gold. I don't even know 1/10th of the stuff all the mappers here know, I am still learning. Don't harsh my mellow.

But where the hell are those clips keep coming from!? I played my maps thousands of times with trial and error and not a single time do i encounter those clips. Then someone comes and tells me its fucked up and suddenly i find nothing BUT clips. WTF?!

I wish you continued to the end to find the ratman den. That's the best part >:|

If this map is TOO easy, then i guess I am going to have to make it harder.

Just when I think I understand the system, it changes on me.

I don't think brainstone is being harsh, he's being honest.
He didn't like the looks: That's something you can work on (either on this map or a new one)
Cubemaps were missing: add them.
He didn't like the way the map played: maybe make a more streamlined, normal map the next time.

Personally I like this kind of feedback more than "cool, liked it". This post doesn't give you a good feeling, but it does give you good suggestions on how to improve your map or make a better map in the future. It will improve your mapping skills.

Nothing harsh about that.
A harsh comment would be "This map sucks" (I'm not saying this, it's just an illustration) without any reasoning why it sucks or points to improve.

Don't take it personally, mate, that's not what I wanted ;). I can for sure say that this map is a lot better than my first map.

Sorry guys...I think you are being over the top picky. I found the map fun and just hard enough to make you think without being overly frustrating with Ninja like skills or impossible tasks. Sometimes I think others try to make their maps ridiculously hard just to prove how clever they are. Rather than an enjoyable time playing their creation, they are too busy building their maps trying to keep you from finishing in total frustration. Thank goodness, the makers of Portal didn't think like that when creating their award winning game.
I thought the subtle ripples in the acid water a nice touch. Although I got through the map and liked the little things like the potato behind the laser wall, and the crow picking at the empty ball container, I never found the ratman den.
By the way, I didn't see any clips.
Good Map for those of us who want to enjoy the experience, rather than fight the experience. Don't need to change a thing.

I went back and found the ratman den!
I really like the song...what is the title and who sings it?

I have been told I don't respond well to negative feedback. -_-

Now, where do I put cubemaps? Everytime test my maps with these, I get hyper gloss like everything is made of gold and silver.

Just when I think I understand the system, it changes on me.

I guess I wouldn't either, after putting my heart and soul into a map and have some yahoo trash it while saying "Don't take it personal". Like that makes it OK to say.
If you don't like it, just move on, instead of saying ".....implementing old stuff and that in a painful and weird way."
For your first map...I'd have to say...damn good job.
Who sings that song in the ratman room?
