Portal: After Hours Part 4 - Spike

I apologize if the energy ball is missing any textures, I tried many things but couldn't get it to work. If you'd like, you can try installing the BEE2 mod to fix it: https://github.com/BEEmod/BEE2.4/wiki/How-to-Install-BEE2.4

As the name suggests, the spike in difficulty is intentional. I wasnted to make it clear very early on that After Hours was for eperienced players first, and novice or casual test subjects second. This was done so that less experienced players would not get invested in the game before being forced to look up a walkthrough. But, if you can beat Spike, then you can probably figure out Time.

This was one of the earliest puzzles ever made in development, having been re-made dozens of times to avoid nasty engine-based glitches with the energy pellet such as hitting the rim of a portal to straighet it out. In its current state however, it's an immobile wall. A purely logic based test that challenges the player's concept of angles and how Portal's affect them.

I also got Matthew to swear, so that's a bonus :)

Nice puzzle but you should put something on the ground to put the cube on because this simple task is too tedious.

Finally figured out how to get all the pellet paths. Took a pass on the cube re-direct. I never could get those. ...it's why I could never get the achievements for completing the "advanced" maps in Portal 1

I understood that u was supposed to make two 45 angles to make a right one, but it was frustrating to do in practice. When I got the box, I was looking for a button....no button. I guess I'm supposed to use the box to bounce of the pellet, but that was too tedious so I quit the map in frustration.

Pro tip: Test your maps and make sure your solution is consistent. Second chamber was frustating and he didn't even deliver the line well.

Soundtrack doesn't fit in my opinion. Why put a happy song after you almost die by a energy ball that can literally vaporize you? Should have had a more depressing tone.

(I guess re-exporting everything with default settings also re-compiled all maps found recursively in the directory of given game .exe)

(I did this after subscribing to the maps, so that they appeared in my list of community chambers of others, of course.)

I managed to fix this bug by downloading the latest version of BEE2 (+packages), then running {location of extracted folder}\BEE2_4.34.1_win\BEE2.exe, choosing Portal2.exe as the game to modify, leaving the name as it was, then in the Export Options window I clicked the [Export to "PORTAL 2"...] button and then restarted the game. So far it seems to me that it works like a charm, nothing else is affected.

So, the exact versions I used are: BEE2 4.34.1 (Application) and BEE2 4.34.0 (Packages).

Nice mod btw, I'm creating a gameplay video to YouTube rn about it, otherwise I probably wouldn't even have thought of ways to fix this.

Looking forward to episode 2!

It took me 20 min to catch that last energy ball
