Thanks, I have been looking for a new map. I'll tell you what I think when I am through with it.
Not bad. Took me 24 min to play though and I found it to be moderately difficult.
This map pretty much has it all, which is both a good thing and a bad thing.
The flings are mostly interesting, though a few parts of the map seemed unnecessary to me (at least the way I solved some of the puzzles).
I liked the turret section and how you worked a wcc portion into the middle of the map to break up the pacing, though the incinerator seemed unfinished, which leads to the issues I had with the map...
On top of the incinerator, there were numerous misaligned textures, overlapping textures, visible nodraw textures, inconsistencies in lighting, etc.
I would really encourage you to follow a few design standards when building your levels (e.g. standardized brush sizes) in order to avoid most of these issues (esp when building a level as big as the one you built here).
I really did enjoy it though, and I look forward to your future maps.
P.S. If you fall into the red area below the large fan, portal crashes.
Nice map, but I couldn't get past the second room :\ (I think that says more about my portalling skills than it does your map :p)
I got to the part where there's a glass wall, a button that deactivates a field on the other side of said wall, and a broken sparking door. No idea what to do from that point on. But I'm tired as hell right now, so I'll give it another shot in the morning.

That was the most confusing part of the map for me, esp since you can skip the button in an earlier room that gives you access to the room with the button on the other side on the glass (See? Confusing.).
And since you can skip it, you have no frame of reference and thus, no clue as to what you are supposed to do.
Yay!
Very hard map, whenever i was solving a puzzle, i think:
"that's not the way who intended to be solved, i'm sure there is another solution"
I want to make a run on this map, but i need more time to learn faster solution.. stay tuned

That's a good point. I'll work on fixing that soon.
Overall I liked it, but I have no idea what this button does or what this button does. They're the last two buttons just before the incinerator. I put the box on the big red button, but it didn't seem to do anything (although I heard noises). It wouldn't even let me press the other one.
Also, I'm stuck in the room just after the incinerator. It might be good to add some kind of clue there if possible.

No clues 
also, both those buttons de-activate the forcefields, but they are pretty much useless once you get past them as the grids automatically shut off.
Excellent map. I got a bit confused because your WIP release was snakepit.zip, and your finished release was snakepit.rar. Needless to say I was confused as to how you had made so little progress!
Aside from the afformentiond room skipping (Perhaps jutting the wall panel out after you explore the tall room?), the only part I had frustration with was the jump from the piston to the stairs. I knew it was possible to make it, and I knew you had to jump from the bulkier part of the piston, but it still took a fair number of quickloads to pull off. Maybe that was your intention, but it still felt .. I dunno.. Mean.
The forcefield area was fine, but some indicator strips might do well to give some hint of what is off and what is on. I didn't get stuck in it at all (And very nice planning for every eventuallity!), though I could see how someone would see where you were supposed to go but not neccisarily know how to get there.
Alright, I figured it out. When you put in that much backtracking, it'll take me a while to figure it out, but I'll get there. It just never occurs to me that you're capable of doing that within this game for some reason.
I don't kow guys, I am at the part where there is a button and I Use momentum to fall and get behind the glass to get to the button with the cube. However, when I place the cube on the button nothing happens??
Is it not suppost to open the gate? I wouldnt want anyone telling me how to solve, just want to make sure that pressaure on the button should open the gate, which it is not....

That's strange... Unless you noclipped back into that room after solving it that shouldn't happen... and i don't think it has before either. Odd.
ok, so the map was really awesome. I really liked that it branched at one point, only to find out it was part of a grander scheme at the end. Kudos for you.
However, I'm going to list some things you may have forgotten during development.
-You can enter this room by destroying the glass:
You havent textured the wall! It's transparent! 
Since its kinda easy to miss it, you could put some easter egg in there. What do you think?
-What's up with this glass?
Correct it 
-You could easily make a mistake and dump the chair in the waste water. Since it's needed to complete the level, please do something to prevent it happening, or at least give an alternate solution
-Finally, this:
This is the inside of a vent in the "Big fan" room. I was so sad when I saw this... it SCREAMS "Get inside me!" and then when you finally do it you find nothing inside 
All in all, excellent map. Correct these small things here and it will be perfect.
Amazing map, still havent finished due to the fact I need sleep lol. Very long and you need to think alot about how to work it out.

I flinged my self into the vent...
The map is really interesting, the setup was great although it felt arbitrary, I liked the backtracking. The cube part felt out of place, I believe it could have been a regular cube and I really loved the ending it's different from the clich? that roams Portal custom maps, the typical "heres your cake ending" I find this ending to be more Portal style: "the cake's a lie".

no... I have done nothing of the sort. Have not typed anything in the consol or anything. OH well...
This is for those of you who haven't yet figured out how to complete this map. I have made a video of me doing the whole map, some parts can be done better using different strategies however it should be handy. Heres the link:

Nice, managed to miss alot of the turret work from a fling

The chair isn't needed if you use the fan to gain lots of momentum, arrange the portal across the room in front of it and crouch, it rockets you into that room.
(Sorry if the spoiler tags are unnecessary, but I'd like to be cautious.)

This. Omigoodness, this.
I spent a good 5-10 minutes jumping along air just right so I could land in there and when I did, it leads to NOTHING.

do you have a pic of the room you're talking about? because i don't remember there being any difficult jump from a piston to a stair anywhere in the map. maybe you missed a fling opportunity?

I don't have a screenshot on hand, but I'm fairly certain he's referring to 3:30 in this speed run. I remember this being a little tough for me too, tough, but possible.

ya i looked at that. i guess duff could make that goo a little wider so you HAVE to fling.

I thought the "X" on the wall was a pretty good indicator that you were supposed to fling there.
I liked this map a lot. It was lengthy, but never got boring. My only complaint is that all the backtracking and portal tunneling required to solve the puzzle after the incinerator left me feeling like I had cheated, since traditional portal puzzles don't require that sort of thing (and if you do do that sort of thing, it usually means you're doing it wrong).

... No portal tunneling needed.

I think I didn't fling mostly because the doors closed behind me after I entered the room, so I didn't know that it would open again upon getting close to it.
In fact, I was at the disable forcefield switch wondering what to do before I backtracked and flung myself to the switch that opened the tall, final room, figuring that I had to have some vertical momentum somewhere to hit the switch, besides the fan room. :p
Making the doors permanently open would've made me fling that goo-pit for certain.

Yeah, them pipes are there for a reason XD
Great map Duffe, a few parts had me for a bit, especially the first part you need to back track (It was 11 pm and I couldn't think XD)
Edit: lol <(^^,)>
Ralen wrote:

I solved that particular part by jumping forward, and then crouching.
I thought the X was supposed to lead me to jump onto the near pipe, and then onto the far one, and then across the room. Now that I look at it a fling is REALLY obvious though.
Definitely agree on making the doors stay open. I was always afraid that I'd be unable to open it, or it'd crap out on me and fall apart since that seemed to be a running (and very cool) trend throughout the map.
Great map!
Nice puzzles, albeit pretty hard.
I gave up after the incinerator. Watching the video showed me the real solution which is a bit...odd. No other complaints though. Hard is good! That just threw me off because I didn't suspect so much backtracking was needed.
Come on, guys. Someone who has made it through this map, get me a freakin' review already.
Please?
Cake DENIED.
Great map.
Fun to leave for a month and come back to such a great, challenging map. Great job!
Ah, yes, when you jump into the ventilator to fling yourself there is a part where you can just jump down under. Instead of killing you, it crashes the game completely.
I suggest fixing that part.
Can you please tell me where you got those skins? Or if you made them can you please send them to me? I would appreciate it. One last thing can you tell me how to apply them?

Thanks a lot Did you have the recongr's black one with the normals or the suicide guy with the smooth one? From the picture it looks like urs is the recongr's.

Huh... I'm at the incinerator, I've nuked the cube, and I'm stuck.
I tried to backtrack to get some air space on the jump, but I can't go back through the door with the first force field floor. The button doesn't respond. And I can't think of anything else to do short of throwing myself in the incinerator.
Am I missing something?

if you played through the level normally, that force field would be off. and you can get back past that point. worst case scenario go to youtube for walkthroughs...
The force field is gone. Did that part correctly. I can get past the "U" and back up to the door. I just can't get the door open.

Push the button.
Tigger wrote:
I pushed the button. Several times. Nothing happened.
Well then I have no idea. I need some kind of video or picture or... something explaining what button you're talking about. I've played through the map thousands of times and that has never happened.
I don't have the ability to upload images at the moment, so...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HU5BquQ0 ... re=related
This snakepit room 9 run on YouTube. The button is 21 seconds in.
I press the button, it doesn't depress, and I get the "disabled" noise.
No clue dude. Nothing I can do about that, it's never been a problem to me.
EDIT: Just figured out what happened, I'll fix that in my next version. For now, though, just noclip.
I'd love to be able to play through this level, it looks quite good. However, I'm stuck on the second room. I watched the youtube video of the level being solved, but that didn't help. Is that supposed to be a 'speed run' or something? It's way too fast for me to follow. I kinda see what you're supposed to do in the second room, but I can't react that fast. If I fling myself into the air upside-down, by the time I've got the camera pointed down to see where I am, I've hit the floor. I'm just not fast enough I guess. I can't do that 'tunneling' trick either, I have no idea how you people manage it. Can someone maybe do a slower walkthrough video? I'd hate to have to resort to clipping, just to see what the next room looks like.
Feel free to call me lame, that's pretty much how I feel.

The second room is pretty much a repeat of the first room.
the first and second rooms involve a simple type of fling that wasn't used in the game really, but its one you should get to know.
you make a lets say orange portal in the floor where you need to shoot up. then you make a blue one in a ceiling that has a portable floor under it.
then walk through the orange one. you will come out of the blue, accelerating towards the floor.
then before you hit the floor, shoot a new blue portal in the floor under you.
you will enter the new blue floor portal rapidly, and thus fling upwards out of the orange one you placed before.
in the case of this map, all you need to do is while you're flying up, go in the direction of the glass, so you end up going over it.
once you're on the other side, you can shoot a blue portal into the floor to get back and forth more conventionally.
wow. Kudos to you guys, I never even considered that kind of technique before. I'm gonna go try it right now...
...and wow again. Neat! You've taught me a new technique. Thanks! On to the next room!
<laughing>
And, stuck again. I managed to get through the bit with the angled energy ball by pure chance and dumb luck alone. The next part, doing a big fling through a tall forcefield into the room with the button in the corner and the broken elevator... I've watched the youtube video several times, somehow the person there is able to fling at an angle so they end up on the ledge across the room where the cube is... I can't seem to duplicate that feat, I fly out, hit the pillar in the middle of the room, and fall to the floor. When I try to do it like in the video, letting myself drop ceiling-to-floor several times before firing a portal into the wall and fling horixontally... well, I usually end up falling into the nasty water, or just end up on the floor in the far room again. How, exactly, does one alter horizontal trajectory mid-flight when merely getting to face forward is a near-impossibility? Am I just too slow? Maybe I could slow down the framerate of the game or something...

That's actually not the intended solution. Just stand on the lift and look around. You'll see.
as far as i can tell, there are only 2 portal-able surfaces in the room, the square on the wall that's been revealed by (presumedly) a panel that fell, and the square leaning against the wall next to where you come in. I don't see much else to do, here. Neither or the portal panels are of any apparant use, since there's nowhere to do a fling from... standing on the broken platform doesn't seem to reveal anything. I tried looking under it too.

That video at 0:45 shows where to go.
One more obstacle down, one more obstacle met. I envy the person who can get the companion cube to fling straight out like that. I can fling -myself- into the little alcove no problem, but...
Anyway, it's silly to post here every time I get stuck, so I'll just play a different map instead. Thanks for teaching me that initial trick from the second room, though.

ya well that was a cheating ninja.
there is a much more conventional solution.. just look around carefully and you'll get past it.

it's not silly. we're right here for ya.
it would be cool if there was a sort of training level for all these advanced techniques you guys use. Like, the same way the early valve levels teach things, one bit at a time. like:
How to 'portal-bounce' (the trick needed for the second room to get over the glass) and how to drop a weighted companion cube off a cliff down at a portal at the bottom, and not have it hit the sides and fly straight through. Or maybe tunneling, that seems like a pretty advanced technique. I looked at the 'Tunneling map' and I was like, WTF? Some instructions would be nice, thanks! Not even any little pictures on the wall! Anyway, please assume I'm an idiot, and need to be shown things explicitly over and over to learn them. Thanks.
Just as a note- I found the initial valve levels, in terms of difficulty, to be barely playable at points. The only downloaded level I've managed to finish is the one where you end up in companion cube heaven in the end. I sure did enjoy Renmiz' both puzzles, even though I couldn't finish them. People here are great level designers. I need to find the SDK somewhere so I can play with HAMMER.
Hi elt.
The problem is, most of these mappers are trying to continue on from portal, trying to give more maps to be done. Thing is this is assuming everyone has completed portal and is bored of playing it over and over. Which means you should be pretty good at doing hard challenges. Most try to cater for people will less capabilities by adding easier puzzles at the start to work there way in but still the point of these custom maps is to be hard.
Teh other problem is mappin takes time, if you see some one do your map in like 20 seconds, and it took you a good few days to make, its annoying. Sure it was fun to make, but you try to get people to have to think about the puzzles.
To drop the cube, press e when looking STRAIGHT forwards, dont look down try to judge it so you let it down near middle, its hard but you get used to it over time.
Oh I can understand that. If I spend 20 hours putting together something that could be solved in 20 seconds, I'd be disappointed too. I do enjoy being challenged and learning new techniques. I just need, perhaps, a bit more instruction than most. In the very first room, for example there's the marks on the floor and ceiling as a hint to put portals there... I'd like to see more use of the little picture-signs all over the place. Maybe even multiple signs, if it's a puzzle that has more than one solution.
Figuring out the logic of a solution (like the puzzles on the valve companion cube level) isn't quite the same thing as having to use Halo-like reflexes and twitchiness.
Heh, all that being said, I have yet to get HAMMER and start trying my own hand at it. I'm sure, reading that sentence, a lot of people are probably nodding and going 'yeah, then he'll get it'.
Umm... the SDK thingy with Hammer in it... you can only get that from Steam, right? OR can I download it somewhere?
Via steam yes. Also my map that I'm making the first few stages introduces "techniques" quite easily I suppose, got the plans sorted just time to make it.
Please take this discussion to another topic or PMs. If you're going off-topic here I don't want mail notifications about it. Thanks.

there is. try out logic portals.
This map is going to be reviewed, if you would like to endeavour in an oh-so intelligent interview or you'd like to add some producer notes to the review, message me.
Great map thanks a lot, I only had to noclip once and that was near the end when you had to jump from a piston onto a jutting out section of wall down onto a landing, I COULD NOT catch that bit of wall, i tried a hundred times! Anyway, completed the rest with no drama, excellent map thanks a million

Like honestly, I know the jump hes talking about, and it was much more of a pain in the ass than it was tricky or run. LOVED the logic portals maps, didn't care for that particular puzzle.

I know which jump he means to, and even though it's a pain, it is possible, I did it.

Not my point though. There have been quite a few custom maps that I just didn't do because when you look at it, you think to yourself...yeah of coarse I could do that, it's going to take me an exorbitant amount of time, and there for it isn't going to be fun, but I could do it.
btw j: The winky face being in your sig gives it less intensity (IMO!). Now it's at the end of every post, but what if you didn't want it there!?

Granted, but I played through it the other night thinking about it and I did it in only two tries. I understand what you're saying about it being a pain and taking a long time but isn't that how you get good at it?
I always put the winky face there before, it's easier this way.

There are things you can get good at... and there are things you learn through muscle memory.
To side note for a second, I was thinking about the wrong jump XD. I was thinking of the last jump in Logic Portals, my bad haha.
Truth.
Finally \o/
This map is mostly concentrated around flinging, introducing new techniques, as well as adding on already known techniques.
This is a relatively difficult map, be warned. It "can" take 2 hours upwards to finish (not likely, but it has happened).

(Note that I am using custom-made skins in Portal, so my gun and boxes are black.)
If you find any way to improve this map, please let me know, or just post about what you thought of it.

Good luck, you might just be needing it.

This is a decent speedrun but not really intended solutions. I'll post a video tonight with the intended solutions.
