Rate my fling
That was pretty cool, it's more like a triple to quad fling depending on how well you get your speed up, but its very possible to do, and i hope to see it with far more better lighting and detail in one of your future maps.
Yes yes, Its an early test of the 16th chamber got TS#13.
my process goes like this:
1) rough out ideas on paper
2) build elements in hammer one by one, testing each bit as it goes along
3) only using the developer textures assemble the whole level
4) iron out any bugs change the portal gun from 2 portals to 1 portal ( I used the 2 pgun whilst testing on early levels then limited it after i was satisfied)
5) repeat for 5-6 maps
6) get those maps tested by guys here
7) get feedback and tweak accordingly
8) move on to the next 5-6 maps
Then once I've got all the maps roughed out like this I will go back and 'beutify' them.
1) clean up brushwork
2) add textures
3) add decals signs and other props
4) add lights
5) sent to be tested again
6) optimize with areaportals, hint bushes....
7) record trailer and publish
8) send to be previewed by TWP previewers
9) iron out any last bugs
10) release
Took a couple of tries, but it's absolutely doable, especially if you're crouching.
I figured it out on the first try, but didn't get the portals where I wanted them to be. So I made it on my second try. I did a bounce.
portal 1 on the wall.
portal 2 on the ground
while falling, place new portal 1 on the ground.
Fall into portal 2
Air strafe on the the median.
Portal one next to the fizzler wall.
portal 2 next to the median.
Jump into portal 2, air strafe over the fizzler.
ta da.
yes to the last part :3
without a second fling or bounce? don't believe you
Hmmm, maybe Chell flipped that "noclip" switch on the Portal Gun while in mid-flight?
