Bug issues
- look thread -

• If you want to send me a record of you playing my map -
• do the following -

When you start playing, type in the console:
"record the_name_of_your_recording"

Your record will appear as a .dem file
This file is going to appear here:
\Steam\steamapps\common\portal2\portal2

NOTICE:
Every time the player dies, or the game have to load a new map, the recording ends.
So maybe you will need to record various times.

To see the video type in the console:
"playdemo the_name_of_your_recording"

NOTICE:
If you don't have the same version of the
map that was played in the record, it will probably not work.

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

Anyways: on topic!

It was very good, I love how you use common things like elevators in a new way. That's very interesting. Loved the puzzles, not too hard but still different from anything I've seen so far. For some reason I don't get fully submerged in your maps though. I think the indicator lights are a bit too big and the train just doesn't look 100% awesome too. If you can find someone to help you with these kinds of things I think your maps could become one of the best map that are around here. They really have a different feeling then other maps. It kinda reminds me of the intro of Half-life 1.

I'm really looking forward to playing your next maps!

One problem I encountered was a cube that got stuck in the second cube dropper, that broke the puzzle for me, you might want to check that one. and/or replace it by the default instance by valve

4/5; Great job!

Yeah, I know that bug... It happened to me one time but I thought it wouldn't happen again.
To fix it... THE DROPPER WILL BE ALWAYS OPEN... sorry I just hate that bug a lot.

Thanks everybody for the support! it makes me want to make SU4 more!

Nothing wrong with an open cube dropper if it fixes an possible bug.

||[Sound] S_StartSoundO: Failed to load sound 'sound\eladio_mike\(sound name).wav'. File is missing from disk/repository.

It mentioned quite a few different sounds, like 'cavejohnson', 'well done', and 'useatthebestyouknow'. I copied the eladio.vpk file as instructed in the readme.||

Great map, lots of fun, and the textures are great. The only problem I seemed to have was sound. I got a lot of these:

Not sure why it would happen, maybe it was in a wrong folder?

When you start the map open up the console and type in "snd_rebuildaudiocache". This problems is caused because portal 2 hasn't cached the sound yet. With snd_rebuildaudiocache the music is put into the cache and it can be used:)

Tip for mappers: You can also use a point_client_command and a logic_auto to do this automatically on map spawn.

Here is my blindrun:

I tried that, and got the same messages. Is there anything I need to do with the file after I unzip it? Does it need conversion or something from it's .vpk format? Although, I just watched Djinndrache's blindrun, and it would seem that I'm not accuately missing any sound files. And if that's the case, why the error message? With the file names and the notes in the readme, I was expecting some kind of dialoge.

On a side note, the map ends for me in a frustrating way. I get in the working elevator and start ascending, but then the screen fades to black and just hangs there. I can't even get to the main menu- pressing tilde only brings up the developers console, and I have to stop the game through Task Manager.

Constructive criticism (I played "fix 1" version):- I see you took lpfreaky90's advice to put snd_rebuildaudiocache in a logic_auto. I think that's a bad idea for something that only needs to be done once, when the map is first installed. I have a LOT (350+) of maps, and it takes over two minutes to rebuild the cache. And you forced it to happen TWICE in masu06. Just tell folks to run it from the console after they install the map.- All that cache rebuilding, and your custom sounds still won't work. I tried the following without success:

Yes, it does have voice lines, I didn't spect so much failures with it... of someone can help me i'll be very grateful, also noticed this map Weighted Wonderland does supports sounds and other files... i'm trying to figure out how they did it successfully.

Puzzles where a bit more challenging this time, although not so hard but I don't mind that. First thing when entering the big room was "what the hell am I supposed to do here" though.

Nice idea (once again) on the elevator !

2 bugs:

||1: The panels above the funnel are portalable, so you can jump right over the fizzler with a single cube. (And jump around on\in the paint pipe for luls).

2: I managed to climb up on the big the big blocks from the brekable wall the first time.||

Really looking forward to the fourth installment now, gj!
