Portal Life 03
Increased performance
Added brushes to all of the floor lights to stop portals from being slightly under the floor
Removed Nodraw textures in the floor lights
Added Cubemaps
Added a lit up stand with a custom texture on it in the first room to make it a lot more obvious cubes can go through fizzlers in the level

Remade the rocket turret stand
Fixed a bug were the player could place a portal on the back of glass in the rocket turret room
Added indicator lights to every button in the level
Extended the wall out in the room with the three buttons so the player could get out the room with out the need of tunneling
Added water in the alter to add effect to the room, the water couldn't make it into the original WIP

Problems
Some of the textures are beyond repair in the terms of dis-alignment, to change the size of some of the brushes may ruin puzzles/cause leaks etc... I've tried the best I can.

Getting stuck? Where about? Also nice run, looks like I've missed some bugs.
For getting stuck i mean the condition where the only thing u can do is reload the previous saved game.
I can't explain where perfectly, but if u want i can make a video to show all the position i've founded.
