wow, after the 5th custom map i can't do one puzzle on i have finally realised im shit at portal

Quote from roger federer on October 23, 2007, 10:05 pm

i'm pretty sure i was able to cheat and finish the map without doing the energy ball puzzle, or opening half the doors. [spoiler]i went and got the box, then opened the final door button below the super fast ball launcher then went backward through the initial fling puzzle using 'portal-tunneling' and into the finish.[/spoiler] you may want to fix this if it wasn't intentional. i'll go back now and try to figure out the real puzzles. nice looking map. i really like the fast moving energy ball, that was fun and dangerous!

edit: after finishing the ball puzzles [spoiler]i was able to sit on the ledge above the launch pad to fling you through the double glass panels and shoot a portal through the holes to all togethar miss the final fling puzzle.[/spoiler] there is a screen shot to show where. i found so many ways through this level; what was the intended solution?

Took me a while to finish it, i did this by luck but i finished it legitly.
Add sounds to the catcher so when it catches it you know if it does.

[spoiler]i managed to set off one of the catchers which got rid of the super fast ball launcher. from there I noticed the big red button below and dropped the box on it, then found my way back via portal fall-rise-mid-air-strafe-through-the-hole back to the entrance...[/spoiler]
great map though, definitely some thought put into that

This is a very nice looking map, good varied textures, nice lighting, etc. You've even used the accent textures (hazard icons, arrows, "dice" markers on puzzle elements).

I only know that because I used noclip, because the first flinging puzzle has me stumped cold. Sorry to say I'm not having much fun trying to figure it out because the only two things that seem to happen are (1) I stay on the starting side of the glass or (2) I die in toxic goo.

Basically the hardest part of this map is right at the beginning, and the penalty for failure is death. Not to put too fine a point on it, but it seems like everyone who plays this map is going to die two or three times right away. Don't scare your fans away, right? At the very least I suggest you change the goo to something nonlethal, if you can do it without breaking the whole puzzle.

Or maybe I'm just rubbish at Portal, too.

Hmm, I'm not sure what you mean by this, care to explain?

[edit]Ah crap, I forgot to no-portal the floor in between the glass. Is that what you mean?
