Has quite some obvious flaws, kind of unusual puzzle solutions(possibly mine were alternatives). However, I still had fun figuring out the puzzle, took a while. Some of the most notable problems I found with the map:
- Misaligned textures.
- Looks like the lighting was done with 'light' entities which isn't portal style and caused weird random color transitions for me(this is a good start)
- No cubemaps.
- No portal placement helpers.
- No indicator lights.
- Not sure if this is the intended solution for the final puzzle, but the faith plates sent me straight into the spikes at the end. Took me a couple of tries to figure out I had to break the flight with the bridge. watches walkthough video oh it seems like it WAS the intended solution. well, I believe it's a bad idea not to prepare players for the spikes ahead, since there's nothing that suggests death is ahead for a player who hasn't seen the upper part.

I thought the puzzle was interesting and challenging. I think you need some autosaves though. Had to start over a couple of times. Good work though. Keep it up!

Well for now the map is in wip status. I know the lighting sucks, but im so bad at it. I will try using glasslights but they dont produce enough light. I mean it looks very dark and I dont like them.
Thanks for feedback and pls if you find ANY alternative solution post it here.

You can edit the brightness of the glass lights.its at the bottom of the page dinnesch linked to

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:

Also note the video description for more feedback and my signature for additional project information.

THX Djinndrache !!! I see you find an alternative solution. I will fix that and the other problems when I have time.
Thx again.

So now the map has reached Version 2 ! Pls play it again and tell me more suggestions! Also I will add a new video of the map
Later edit: I added the video in my second post.

So i added the backgorund music and the lines. Again if someone have suggestions please post them.

hmm not playable on a mac? I've had this problem with a few other VPK, but not all. Place in proper folder, restart P2 or update_addon... says map not found?

I've heard someone else say that vpk's are not working for them now since the update the other day
