new beta!

dload.php?action=file&file_id=222

about the glass...

i am not sure at all about what causes that, cause it happens to me in logicportals and other maps, it only showed up after i built cubemaps.

is there a way to exclude a surface from cubemapping?

This map was quite enjoyable. I just noticed one error, and had a couple of complaints.

The error was when I've finished with the rocket turret, I deactivated it so it wouldn't keep shooting at me, and when it retreated into its hole in the ground, it went in at a strange angle, so that it was clipping through the floor. I'm not sure if that was just a random glitch, or if it has something to do with how you made the map.

The minor complaints are: 1) the g-man at the beginning looks like a mannequin. He's just standing there perfectly still. It would be nice if you could give him some sort of movement, like moving his head slightly, or straightening his tie.
2) there was one [spoiler]step flinging puzzle[/spoiler] that looked to me like it was copied directly from Logic Portals. Now I know that [spoiler]step flinging[/spoiler] is not unique to that set of maps, but the particular way that you designed it with the timer and everything, it just seemed too similar to me.

Aside from that, the map was lots of fun, and while it provided a bit of a challenge at times, it was never such that I didn't have a clear idea of what I should be doing next.

yes i am aware of the rocket turret bug, i dont know of any way to fix it atm :/

and i will make the [spoiler]gman[/spoiler] at the beginning use a trigger_look to make it play an animation whne you look at it

also i only got the idea from logic portals, i copy+pasted nothing

Awesome map! A lot of fun, but a single fatal glitch (more likely the cause of the Source engine than you) threatens to ruin it all - any loading within the map permanently disables AI. Because of the moderate use of turrets in your map, this completely kills many of the puzzles. To re-enable AI, you have to start the map over from scratch. Normally I'd be a lot more irate about this, but I enjoyed playing this map so much that I actually didn't mind starting over each time I died. I'd put this up with Logic Portals and the PMK series as the top three "must play" maps available here.

I really loved the little touches; the [spoiler]BTS easter egg by the incinerator was great , and the signs/coffee mugs/Gman in the observation area were a great way to make Aperture look more human - a nice contrast to what happens when GLaDOS takes over.[/spoiler]

Another small glitch to add to the "AI disabled..." thing; if you acctivate the rocket turret, and then shut it down again, it just sort of flops over, clipping through the floor a bit, rather than properly shutting down.

Overall, great work - I look foreword to the next portion of the Zeta series!
(There is going to be more... right? )

I hate you.

Ok, time to explain why:
The glasses are opaque, for example, i can't see the gman.
Gman... are you still there???

Here, http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj12 ... ta0013.jpg , i [spoiler]take the cube, go into blue portal whith that and it says "weighted cube destroyed" and the cube disappear, without any reason

Ok, updated
changelog:
-- fixed bug where putting a cube thru a portal on the fling platform would make it disapeer

but im not sure about the glass

I really liked the map except for the [spoiler]step-fling[/spoiler] puzzle. I'm probably alone in saying that I HATE those puzzles. Finally noclipped up after wasting an hour trying to do that thing. It would have been easier if there wasn't an indicator light above the portal that I kept hitting going up or down.

Overall, a nice map though.
