Solution, please. So far I'm stuck in a room with absolutely no way out and even noclipping I can't find out what the hell you were thinking when you built this "puzzle".

Okay, I found out through noclipping. First off that turret puzzle is a bitch and I'm not sure how you complete it normally, but I bulldozed my way through with the cube. Second, after giving up and noclipping to discover how to get out, I must tell you the final portal surface is impossible to see. Even if you look up, which normally you wouldn't do in that cramped airduct space, you still can't see it. You have to be at a percise angle. I'd fix those two problems if I were you.

Thanks for the feedback. People seeing the final wall there was a concern of mine and I'll make it more obvious and post an update here today.

As far as the turret room...

Hint: It is kind of similar to the red racer coop level if you have played that one.

Solution:[spoiler]You need to put the cube on the right pedestal, line it up with one of the red X's on the wall, hit the button, then while it is in flight place a portal to send a laser to it, killing one of the turrets. You'll have to be quick with the portal, and may not get it right away, but its very doable. Repeat for turret two with the other x.[/spoiler]

Let me know if this doesn't work, or if there are other issues. I'm also adding the underground soundscape, info_placement_helpers on a couple spots and making the gantry crash part have a little more effects to it.

Sketchy structures and limited variety brake harshly on the general charme, but what you will miss most is any assistance to point you in the right direction. First the map kills you for stepping on hidden trap floor, then leaves you in the wild blue yonder to literally spot the only white wall left in the entire chamber.

But that one animated sequences is cool.

Thanks for the comment, I've uploaded a newer version. Tried to make that last wall more obvious...and got rid of the trap floor in favor of a fizzler. More humane, or so I'm told. GLaDOS would NOT approve...

I'm playing custom maps and record my first time of playing them. So the run is not perfect and may not use only intended ways, but maybe it can let you see how other people may understand the map or you could just enjoy someone playing this map for entertainment.
Anyways, here is the recording:

Thanks for playing Djinndrache! Didn't notice that you could jump on top of the button in the first room, makes the first part a little easier. I guess you downloaded the map before I updated it; I made it much easier to see the last wall by the turrets.

I also just noticed that in my haste to get the updated version on here at 11:45 the night of the contest I had forgotten to run buildcubemaps on the final bsp. As far as I can tell the only surface that REALLY suffers is the refracto-cube so if that bothers you just type "buildcubemaps" in console after the map loads, sorry about that.

Fantastic map. I thought it actually did a nice job of "pointing you in the right direction", and I really enjoyed the look and the animation. The [spoiler]red x's[/spoiler] were brilliant.

Quote from lifeson99 on July 8, 2011, 3:36 pm

Why were the Red X's brilliant ?
I no-clipped for 20 minutes and finally gave up.
There was no Exit.

Of course - now I see there is from the Video.
