No description available.

V1.0 Map is finalized but suddenly a bug appears
V1.1 The bug is fixed, then the map is finally playable
V1.2 Added some nice lights and fixed cubes spawn
V1.2.4 Fixed minor details

If you don?t mind, when you start playing the test,
you can type on the console "record inputname"

So you will record your playing as a dem. file
this file will appear in:
\Steam\steamapps\common\portal2\portal2

You can send me the dem. file to my mail:

[email protected]

With this you can support me, so I will know how
players react in the different parts.
This can help me to improve future maps.

Thanks!!

It's veery laggy! (At least for me) Apart from that, and about all the buttons at the beggining, I think they could be omitted.

Also, the button that starts the orange gel also flizzes the other cubes, that's ok. The problem is they get fizzled every time you press that button, and respawned after that. Either disable respawn or place an emantipation grid to prevent the user from carrying those cubes with him.

P.D: Not a bad idea the method of stockpiling the cubes

Something wrong with this version splayer_zro_test02.... I have 3 cubes and deflected the laser by stacking and standing on the plate. Now what - nothing happens? Is this a WIP?

Not bad, but it needs some work.
Issues:
-As Think said, it's really laggy for some reason.
-Some parts of the map are obnoxiously bright in my opinion.
-it's not at all obvious what the first laser receptor does
-I'm not sure what the intended solution was for the last room, but I just took the first cube, and portaled up to the door button with the cube. It looked like it was supposed to be much more involved. You might want to prevent that somehow.

@quatrus I recommend you to look better when you activate the receptor.
@john11 You mean by trowing the cube like this? http://i.imgur.com/nXPl0.jpg

In Second room... Have no cubes to place on panel by lasers. Have no access to any cubes. I brought all 3 with me as I figured I would need at least 1 and they fizzled when I triggered propulsion gel. I've even tried taking all of the chairs from the observation lounge and stacking them up in the button.

First room was extremely laggy.

OK went back and played again. First room still very laggy for some reason, did find the very subtle opening.
Second chamber a little better. Got through the moving wall near the lasers and the floor plate did not open? - maybe I missed something else very subtle? Anyway, I noclipped through to the lower room with the water and finished up to the last chamber. thanks for mapping.

as I found out.. :smile: Was trying to unstack chairs and voila! :smile:

But.... the plate you have to remove is the same size as a cube... it looks like something should be put on it, not removed.. removing a cover plate is not part of traditional gameplay so it's confusing

I read all the comments here. 1st room not laggy at all for me (maybe you fixed it already). I do agree with Szieve, because I also tried to find a cube to go on the panel next to the lasers. LOL, I even stacked a chair on it too and by unstacking also picked up the panel. Also, originally I didn't use the funnel at all to place the cube in the receptacle. I simply through it up there with the faith plate and flinged out of a portal below the receptacle and manually placed it. After completing I figure out what it's for and is a very cool concept to through it in the funnel and let the funnel do the work for you. All-in-all a very fun map and though there are things that can be improved I still gave it a 5. Thanks for mapping! :lol:

I'm playing custom maps and record my first time of playing them. So the run is not perfect and may not use only intended ways, but maybe it can let you see how other people may understand the map or you could just enjoy someone playing this map for entertainment.
Anyways, here is the recording:

Useless buttons, portal sniping, and removable panels make this map a little more annoying to play than it should be. The lightbridge labyrinth was rather sloppily constructed (e.g. button pedestal on window frames). Building the missing cubemaps crashed the engine. There are good ideas in this map, but they're not implemented very well. 3/5.
