Well, I solved room one, but it involved creeping over the edge of the railing above the funnel room, and shooting a portal onto the roof of it from the VERY edge, but I managed. Room 2 has me stumped now, though, heh.

I've been super busy but now that I had a little bit of free time I decided to return and see what you have changed.

Now that you fixed my way of doing the first part of the first chamber I would like to note that you can accidently get the cube stuck behind the panels above the button room. Also I see that you tried to fix my solution for chamber 2 but it is still possible

Easily one of my favourite maps/map packs. Good challenge and nice looks.

Neco, my friend, if you allow me I'll do that. As far as i remember, at least for parts 1, 2 and 4 I already found the intended solutions, right? Just let me know and I'll record my runs for version 1.5 and post them. Part 3 would be only half new for me I think... for this one I'll record it blind.

Hi Jose, if you can spare the time - yes of course, I should appreciate that very much. Besides a vid would also be easier to watch. Thank you! (Don't forget to send the links )

Please be careful with the words:"Still possibe!" Might cause me a heart attack. Thought you mean 274 again ...........phew!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh dear, I wasn't even able to do that move with the prior version. How much overhang do I need to stop you from doing that??? Will take a look at the issue you described. Might take one or two days, though.
Your balancing act was one of the most impressive ways of solving a puzzle. You-are-unbelievable!!!!

If it comes from a player like you, that really cheers me up, thank you so much for having taken the time to play!

Well, I cannot wait the facepalm moment when neco releases his intended way of getting the first cube on the button or solving 272 but until then I want to share some other ways of doing it.
[spoiler]First clip shows how you can place the cube on the upper panel, the second shows how you can grab it while at the top of the room and the third clip shows how you can get the cube inside the cage without having to all the climbing.[/spoiler]

__________________

That's again one of *my* facepalm moments, because when I watched your vid I remembered that TaiMai had already solved it like that. I again must have removed the brush which prevented that. Either recklessly or accidentally.
KennKong is right you're a mappers nightmare! Thanks for the vid. Will fix that by this week-end.

It's starting to get hard to do that jump so if you add just a tiny bit more, I can test if I can still do it

Quote from RubbishyUsername on April 26, 2012, 5:03 pm

I think I have part of the intentional solution for chamber 1?

DO NOT READ
[spoiler]Two trips are needed for this one. First you work your way up to the top of the map using the funnel, and place a portal on 3. Then get the cube into 3 and store it there for the time being. Then make your way to the top again. Lift the cube up with the funnel, then fling it out of the portal surface closest to you so you can catch it.

You now have the cube on the map. After this I had to side throw it into the funnel to get it in position above the fizzler, but I'm sure there is a more correct method.[/spoiler]

I will play through the other levels tomorrow.

< Playing V.4 at the moment.

Still working on the Last Map of this awesome pack. 5/5
Visuals are really nice, alltough I had my problems in the Lightbride-Room

Why so ? So many white unportable surfaces in the earlier rooms so that I
didn't even try to shoot the floor any more *g*

Also, I've probably solved none of the chambers as intended (will try v5 if its out then I finished the Last map.

How I exploited (german)
[spoiler]This Way UP
-
W?rfel in Funnelkasten geworfen
Knopf in der mitte Gedr?ckt.
Portal in die Mitte und ?ber dem 1-Punkt-Raum.
Ins Portal und in den Raum gesprungen.
Aus dem 1-Punkt-Raum Portal in den Funnelkasten gesniped und wieder oben ans Panel.
W?rfel machte sich somit den weg ?ber mich...
Dann an die gegen?berliegende Wand bei den 2 Fizzlern den W?rfel zur?ckdr?cken lassen.
Hing Somit ?ber 1-Punkt Raum am panel fest.
Dann aus der T?re Rausgeschaut und das Portal welches den Funnel angenommen hatte auf die Wand in der N?he des Cube-Button geschossen.
=> Funnel Weg und W?rfel f?llt.
Schnell auf den Knopf gestellt und w?rfel abgeholt.

-
The Ledge
-
Funnel Angenommen und auf das Deckenpanel geschossen.
W?rfel vor das Warnschild gestellt.
Auf den w?rfel geh?pft.
Vom W?rfel auf das Gel?nder.
W?rfel zwischen gel?nder und Warnschild geklemmt.
Wieder auf den w?rfel geh?pft.
Vom W?rfel Richtung Deckenknopf durch den Funnel durchgesprungen.
Durch den Langsamen Funnel konnte ich so genug H?he behalten das ich oben auf dem Bettonrand Stehen konnte.
Von dort oben dann Cube gedropt und an den Knopf gefunnelt.
=> Danach hinuntergesprungen und Level wohl ordnungsgem?? weitergespielt.
-
Lichtbr?ckenraum:
Ist das Normal das das Laserfeld am ende einen nicht T?tet ?
Oder hab ich das nur Kapputt gemacht weil ich vorher exploited habe :>
=> Deine Fizzler sind nicht Dicht ! Ich konnte durch den Fizzler an der seite durchschie?en Schie?en. Bin dann mit dem Cube durchgesprungen und bin in diesen 3-Knopf Raum schon fr?her reingekommen als ich wohl sollte.
-[/spoiler]

EDIT:
last but not least, cleared the last map...
I will upload the videos for my/the used exploits as soon as I wake up tommorow.

I played through v1.5 tonight. I did finally manage to climb the funnel in Part 1, but I still maintain the timing is too tight on that. I'm really looking forward to seeing the intended solution soon.

I just eddited my record of Part1. The video is being compressed to .avi. Soon will be rendered.

I'm pretty sure almost all run is intended. Maybe the very last part could be conceived by Neco in a different way, but the essence is the same.

I'll post the link in some minutes, but the video will take some more to be available.
