I like this new take on the elevator - nicely done!

How did you do the portals on the lightbridge? Detecting when a gel bomb breaks and spawning a func_brush there?

Falsi sumus crusto!

I thought about it, I'm thinking he had a portal detector and some kind of invisible brush (that is portalable) activate when the bridge is there. so the bridge is sandwiched in between two invisible portalable brushes (while the portal detector is active)

maybe... :lol:

Looking pretty great, as always, but that massively upscaled Portal 1 texture just looks so out of place.

@lamarr I don't know if you understand how much I'm glad you don't abuse blue fog in your maps XD

Also that map looks like the lighting made it take a year to compile, but it looks amazing.

Yes, I used this in the area with the white gel bombs. Unfortunately, since gel from an info_paint_sprayer doesn't have inputs or outputs, I can only make pre-placed gel on bridges be portalable. That's why you won't find a place where you can place gel on a bridge yourself (or at least I hope so). I think I managed to trick the player into thinking that he can though, he just won't be able to do so. ;)

That's a good idea (I haven't used it) but there's actually one wrong thing in your thought.
I'm talking about this problem (dat paint skillz tho :D ):

That's why the bridge isn't "sandwiched in between two invisible portalable brushes" but I've I actually put only one brush on one side of the bridge. This is only how I imagine the explaination of this bug, I might be wrong.

So YES, that means you will be able to place portals on the side of the bridge which the gel painted, but not on the other, because that's how you won't be able to come across this bug. I know that if you paint a bridge blue on one side you are able bounce on both sides of it but...this is how things are :(
