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.

-In the first room of map 1, the particle effect of the fizzler closest to the portal gun goes through the walls.
-I could place portals on the window frame of the companion cube "viewroom" when you get the second portal gun.
- The garbage in the final room doesn't really fits the atmosphere of "final sacrifice" given by the ground signage. IMO this room should be made epic with intense lighting or even more.
- In the final room, the horizontal fizzler should also be labelled as cube friendly, or you can believe you are struck if you didn't leave a portal near the rocket turret.
- The behind the scenes and cafetaria still look plain and even somewhat ugly when compared to the rest. HL2 or even CS:S maps should be your friends here in order to get references for real, non-test chambers places.

But it is already a very nice progress! The most tangible difference was the indicator lights, but the map feels really better overall.
Keep it up!

Because I have no experience with making maps for any thing other than portal (other than a little TF2) I don't know how I can spice up the behind the scenes areas as I don't know what props, models and textures are fully available to some one who only owns portal. If you could list some HL2/CS:S maps that could help me, I would be very great full.

With this patch the map it's really nice, i made a speed run through that

Howewer, i find some way to getting stucked, in valve's maps that is impossible but.. it's not a serious bug

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.

2) When I completed the map I saw the scene where the cube fizzled and the Gman was watching, but he never walked away and the scene never faded and the map never ended on its own. I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but I jumped down the shaft where I threw the cube (I don't know why that would make a difference, but I thought I'd mention it).

Keep up the good work.

Thank you infernet, I've taken note of the places where you can get stuck, you can remove the video if you wish.

Adair. The first bug you listed is to do with the triggers, I know exactly what is causing it. As for the second bug, you are probably missing a scene file or some thing. If you downloaded Pl3sant Debut check out this thread.

If you didn't, I don't know the solution as the scene works for me. do you have HL2? The missing g-man scene may be related to needing HL2, as that logic_scene (wrong name) triggers the game to end.
