Quote from Yekyaa on October 24, 2007, 5:13 amOk, i FINALLY understand the first fling puzzle.
what I don't understand is either a) how to get the box out of the dropper or b) how to do the trajectory thing in the ball room....
beyond that, the rest of it, i can complete via noclipping the difficult parts.

Quote from msleeper on October 24, 2007, 5:29 amI take it that you aren't supposed to beat the first orb puzzle of "Patterns" by [spoiler]getting on top of the orb launcher[/spoiler], so I'd be interested in knowing the intended method to try it out.
I also could not quite ever make the final jump. I almost did once and if I had kept pressing forward I would have made it, but since I didn't I fell short by only a few inches so I wound up noclipping over there.
The only area I think could use some detailing is "Too Much Of A Good Thing", but then again it is really hard to detail such a wide open area.

Quote from Jagobah on October 24, 2007, 6:05 amGreat map, currently stuck figuring out the last level "Cakewalk."
I'm still figuring out the theory of the level, since I've been falling short way too much from messing around. Maybe a subtle hint will push me in the right direction ;o

Quote from DiddyKong42 on October 24, 2007, 10:37 am[spoiler]You must put a portal on the wall by the switch, then put a portal on the ground and fling over into the hole. From there you shoot a portal on the wall and drop back down. Then go into the portal on the wall where it hits straight on. Then go to the bottom and put it above the catcher.[/spoiler]
Quote from Shmitz on October 24, 2007, 11:13 amRegarding Cakewalk, a big hint can be found [spoiler]in the Trash Bin forum[/spoiler]. I may need to make it more obvious, at least in the sense that the intended solution may currently appear unintended.

Quote from roger federer on October 24, 2007, 12:03 pmi would be interested to see a demo of someone doing the last stage of this map. i'm pretty sure i did it the intended way, but if i didn't i would be real proud of myself.

Quote from Crooked Paul on October 24, 2007, 3:16 pmI really liked the first flinging puzzle, despite being a huge goo-hater.
But that's all I got figured out. I can't seem to get into the room where the first orb goes (at the top of the elevator). I tried placing a portal on the floor up there and then backtracking down the elevator and falling back into the goo room into another portal placed on the slanted platform. I thought I was being clever, but that didn't get me anywhere.
So I assume it's possible to jump/fling into the orb destination room without leaving the launcher room at the top of the elevator, but I'm damned if I can figure out how. Does anyone want to enlighten me, perhaps even with screens? I am confused.
I am well afeared that I won't be able to finish this map, since I can't even get to the puzzles that all these better players are asking about... but I intend to keep trying.

Quote from Shmitz on October 24, 2007, 3:19 pmSince getting up there really isn't a puzzle, I'll tell you: the switch in the room to the left of the lift activates the lift. There are number dot icons to indicate they are linked, but this will be a lot more obvious when I link them properly with indicator lights once the SDK is updated.
Also, I've made a few videos, so if anyone really wants to know how a particular jump is intended to be done, PM me and I'll give you a link.

Quote from Crooked Paul on October 24, 2007, 3:32 pmI guess I was unclear. I'm fine with the lift. Once I'm at the top of it, in the room with the orb launcher, I can't figure out how to get into the upper platform of that room, through the square hole in the nonportalable walls, near the button which lowers the lift.
[spoiler]Obviously once you get in there, you walk around the corner and put a portal where the orb is bouncing against the wall, then go down the lift and feed the orb to the catcher at the bottom.[/spoiler]
But how can I get into the "orb destination" part of the room at the top of the elevator? That's what I can't figure out.
