I finished my second map, Cubelogy, at least. I'm gained more skills, so this is more quality map, and there are cubemaps. This map includes new game-element too, there is more info in file description. And now there is my own made picture on MiniPuzzles folder. Map's gameplay is same kind of as PuzzleOne is. Same unique style. This includes one challenge too.

Why not put this one into the community mod thingy?

=D

I liked it - not overly complicated, but made me step back and have to think about it... Good work!

Wow, That was the first map in a while that made me think. One thing though, you forgotten your aperture_ai or actor_ai. Other then that, nice work.

Thank you I think it is good without glados.

Another great map from you, made me actually think
I missed glados when detaching a camera and that's all why it should be there, however, I didn't miss the glados quotes about "impossible chamber" etc, we all have heard them 100 times before, you know
Some walls should have been portalable, but they were not (use a nonportalable texture for them), and sometimes the portal bumpers were missing.
But, yeah, the puzzle was very interesting

very good
i like it
it took me a little while to realise what the buttons did to the laser thing...

will there be an advanced version of this map?

I tried to make advanced but it was hard so i made challenge..

Make speed challenges!

You can use my time as a landmark: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBxfPY3zmIk

Niice map, messed around a bit before I really understood what I needed to do.

Did you use portal bumpers? I had trouble placing portals at some locations.

I managed the 17 portals in my first try at the challange, but 14? that requires more thoroughly thinking

Ok I'll try to make time challenge later, and yeah there is portal bumpers, but they don't work, I don't know why...

and for those who want help for gold challenge read hint below:

the camera

the camera

I did that normally, cause I did not know how to hold down both buttons.

watch infernet's speedrun it is right way for normal map

Great map. This one made you think. I managed to get the cube to the button under the floor by balancing the cube on the button in the side room that shuts of the particle field. After I put a portal next to the particle/force field in the floor in the main room, I stood on the button that turns that off and shot a portal at the wall the cube was leaning against. It tumbled through the portal and down to the button beneath the floor. I don't know if that's how it was supposed to be solved, but it worked for me.

Yeah, it is the trick, but you didn't have to lean the cube to a wall, you were supposed to get the cube into the square room with arrows on the floor (I suppose that is its purpose) and shoot a portal under the cube.

Yes that what Mek did is the way that I thought it. I surprised that there is so many ways to to that puzzle, but I think that it's a good think

I just thought it trough, I think I can manage it with 6 portals.

Wtf lol this must be the strangest solution ever. I managed the Golden least Portals! Really something u need to think trough quite alot.

Congrats!

Great job on this one. Really made me think. Not sure why you can't put portals on the angled concrete walls, that's kind of odd. The portal bumper thing annoyed me, but it's my pet peeve in Portal maps. If the bumbers aren't working try making them a func_non_portal_volume, it's worked for me in the past. I did kind of miss GLaDOS making some kind of remark when the camera falls. Funny we miss that but none of the other overused quotes.

One very small suggestion and I admit this is getting picky but you may want to start using "mitered" edges. I'll try to explain what I mean. When making a window frame (for example) instead of just putting your vertical brushes on top of your horizontal ones, make all the corners at 45 degree angles. Use the Vertex tool to do this. When you apply the textures they will blend and look smoother. Here's a sample, the one on the right is mitered:

Again, I know this is very picky but take it as a compliment that this is the only visual suggestion I could come up with.

Other than that great map, good looking, fun to play. Keep up the good work.

Did u working on mini puzzles 3 plz your map are awesome^^

thanks ammd. I and skinnycap are working one companion cube map but it's going very slow.. I'm keeping break from mapping, but I think that you will see that map someday

I just managed the least portals as well. Took some major time to think it through.

how the hell do u get 6 portals?? could someone please make a video of it or explain it under spoiler tags...

NOPE!!! Try to solve it yourself, it's the idea of the puzzles!

cool map!
