"Affinity"
This statement is predicated on the idea that the "way it was meant to be accessed" isn't noclipping.
From the potd post, without having played the map, my conclusion is that noclipping is the proper way to to do things.
Your conclusion is that we are assholes.
I never said you where all assholes, I just don't appreciate sarcasm. Wouldn't it have been just as easy for the poster to say that was the correct method, rather than being sarcastic? I don't consider what I asked to be a stupid question, I don't know how the creator made the map, it is entirely plausible (to the best of my knowledge) for other triggers to be built into source engine maps that could have transported me into the room. I just wanted to find out if there was another way to get to it.
Sorry if it seems like I am having a go at everyone, I just don't see the need for unnecessary sarcasm for a perfectly innocent question. I have never designed a portal map, and I don't know the thought processes of the individual designers that made the countless maps I have played, all I know is that Affinity is an excellent map.
Uhm.. i think this would be the result, without hl2 assets?

I'm having this problem running portal on both windows and linux/wine
(on the same pc). 
Dou think this could resolve my problem?
If so, really isn't there another way to fix it? 
bye 
Another way to fix this is to get the source sdk, it gives the textures to you for you
I've only seen one person posting about times...managed to rock out a 2:44.
I'm going to post up the demo file, because this computer is a piece of crap for recording =p
This could have been...ten, maybe twenty seconds faster, or more. It's defiantly sloppy, but it's a good time for a more than less proof of concept for the route.
Crap, can't attach files I guess.
Make that a 13 portal epic item-climb across the sludge room ^_^ Idea credit goes to siiig for that however, I haven't taken a demo of it yet.

Sorry, just that much quicker =p. I figure at best you could manage to cut out one more portal (by stealing a camera in the ball room, idea: Kich867) but I'm actually doubtfull because I don't think you could make it through the door. Now that that's done, I can go back to my speed run of affinity, lol.

Damn, true, I forgot the door has a time limit.
Really awesome map. Nice beggining, nice ending and great puzzles! The only con is that its way too short
