Can anybody help me in the building of a ball catcher? I know many people have figured it out, but the wiki is still a "WIP" with no information on it. I'm hoping someone will get around to writing it soon, since the October map contest requires a ball puzzle =D

Someone grab Espen or Angel, they've made working ones.

I can send you a .vmf of my working ball catcher. PM me if your interested. I'm offering you this because I'm too lazy to explain it in this post.

That's overly complex if you ask me.

Yeah we need a real tutorial made, that one is pretty... not that great.

i'd do the tutorial, but I have a billion tests coming up next week...

If nobody else gets to it before me, I'll write one up when I'm done with my map for the contest.

Sure, I'll write one up real quick.

You're a star. Thanks.

Login isn't working, I can get to the pages while I'm logged out, but I get this error when I try to get anywhere from the main page logged in:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 4864 bytes) in /home/msleeper/wiki.thinkingwithportals.com/includes/media/Generic.php on line 400

What's the status on this? It's just that I have an unfinished ball launcher in my test map and it's one of the last things I need to learn to do before I can start mapping proper.

Oh shit I must have missed this thread.

That happened during the server move, it should be all fixed up now. I just tested logging in and going to pages so everything should be right as rain.
