Probably the most fidley map I have ever played. I can't even imagine how this was written.

This was tough and weird, specially the end. Thumbs up.
Save is your friend.
Ok, try mine: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=668455499

if you missed it, I thought you might be interested in the following ?
I have installed both, but not had time to play them yet:
the 1st 2 are:
2 x portal 2 mods
1 free & 1 cheap
supported by steam
can download & install easily, from steam store.
(I suggest dowloading at off peak times, when internet trafic is low, to prevent data loss or corruption)

GG ^^ This one was not in the Skill category for nothing X)

GOT IT! :D
trial and error... -.-

yeah, i already saw, that I could use the inactive light bridge gen as a step to make my way through. But I didn't get there. Every time i try to get there with a portal at the side, i fall down -.-

Sooo, it's been a long time but after reading again the comments on the previews pages I think you will find the help you need ^^ If not, then I will try to remember what was the solution X)

Maybe I am a bit (or a lot?! :D ) dumb, but I don't get it with the third room.
I got the round ball.
I also can open the door with the laser. But till now, I couldn't figure it out, how to get up there an exit the room....
could you help me out please?
Didn't find any videos in the internet :/

I posted a comment on my profile page so that people can know easily ^^ It's not that I will not make map any more, but for now I have others priorities and it could take time before I start mapping again ;)

not making chambers anymore? (sory for comenting here, it's just that I cant post coments on your profile unless I'm your friend)

very good.
the last chamber, before the turrets, gave me the most trouble.
when I got the cube covered in bounce gel, I thought for a bit, that I had failed.
but you saved me :)
1st 2 rooms was in the don't over think it catagory.
a few by-passes there.
thumbs up.
please try the last map I did, before my pc died :(
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=187016376
I was going to save the map, the following day, but can't even get into bios now.
so unless I can think of something, I can't update this map.
hope you enjoy.

@buff00n : Thanks for playing ^^ I was wondering if it was just me but it seems that the ball dissapearing in the third room is a real glitch :/ That's not at all expected and can be annoying if it happen too much -_-

About the not moving sphere, this help for sure, but when I did it I just used to quick aim under the sphere even if it was moving then at the correct position to activate the funnel instead X)

I think the third room gave me more trouble than the fourth, but that was some kind of glitch. Every time I left the sphere on top of the funnel emitter it "disapeared" when I activated the funnel.

Figuring out how to aim the laser cube corretly took me a while. Also, I managed to kill myself with the laser trying to squeeze onto the light bridge emitter in front of the door.

For the fourth room I relied on two things I would consider "tricks". One, the fact that you can set a sphere down on the floor so it doesn't move, it just takes a few tries. Two, standing on the door frame of the exit before it's open. Other than that it was just a matter of aiming the laser correctly and figuring out the exact portal locations to use for activating the catchers.

The blowing off steam section at the end seems unnecessary, but whatever. I'll kill some turrets.

Sorry Geneosis ctions Required

PS : Your collection and probably every map you made are unaccessible for me. Are you sure you set the visibility to "public" and not "private" or "friend only" ?

Haha, you can just call them BEE Mod levels if it's what you placed inside ;) Other people may be intersted in playing them too, and the collection itself have nothing special to do with me in particular XD

Done Its Geneosis' Levels

Roger That

@William, I could do that but finding them could be a nightmare as you published twice more maps as I did X) Could you create a collections with the maps you want me to play ?

Geneosis Play All My BEEmod Maps

wow, that sounds cool. Anyway I skipped to the end. Solved your puzzles but used noclip to reach the exit. The last section was funny, though I never activated the 4 lasers.

Hem I have absolutely no idea where this error come from XD Anyway, the inactive light bridge is not supposed to be activated, and is only here to help you to walk to the exit, using the light bridge generator as a step. Then once you are in front of the closed exit, you can open it remotely using portals to redirect the laser and activate the funnel to push the ball on the button ;)

So I skipped through with noclip (just to lift myself to the exit, then disable it) and I get this error in my console, constantly: *************************************************************************************************
*** ERROR: logic_relay crusher9399922-crush has been triggered but is awaiting refire. OUTPUTS WILL NOT BE FIRED!!!
*************************************************************************************************
Any idea?

New screenshot, now what? It's not like I can throw myself via portals or do the teeter-totter thing because obstacles are in the way, all while maintaining the ball switch. Also, isn't that light bridge at the exit supposed to turn on or something?

I see, but you know when a laser cube is in a funnel you can give it a certain angle... Using portals to place the cube in the funnel ^^

Check my public screenshot. Then u will understand. They're black walls, portal not applicable.

About the 3rd room : I don't remember the exact solution but the funnel that cross the laser is never supposed to be disabled, the angled panel at the end of the funnel can be retracted at some point but that's all.

Well I couldn't get the 3rd room to work. I assume the gravity funnel that goes toward the laser was supposed to deactivate, but it didn't in mine. If it's not then I don't know how to hold the cube in there at an angle while gravity is pushing against it.

Very Bizzarre map. Nice.

Well about the last room dropping the ball is not necessary, you can just let it roll on the ground and place a portal under it to make it fall on top of the (inactive) funnel, then move your portal to activate the funnel and catch it ;) Glad you liked anyway ^^

I have enjoyed playing this unorthodox map. The puzzles seem like they'd be so simple to do after seeing them from a slightly different angle already. Not the case. I've played several times and still get enjoyment but I'm through now because there's something I cannot do. Exit the final room. I've been there standing in the doorway with the sphere in hand and don't have the capability to throw it and shoot a precisely placed portal at the same time. I've met my limit. I'm not upset cause obviously others have done it and I am impressed. Good work on another fantastic map.

@ProfDave64 : Added your map to the lsit ^^
About where you are stuck it's room 3, here you are not supposed to use the faith plate, it's for room 4 ;)
Hint : did you know that you can walk on a light bridge generator? This may help you to reach the exit ;) Then I think you already figured out how to open it ^^

I played until I got completely stuck.

Suggestion: Can you visually "number" the rooms? I don't know if I got stuck on Room 3 or 4.

The exit door was overhead. To open it, I had to elevate the sphere vertically to the top of the room.

I performed the finicky action of adjusting the reflecting cube, held floating by the horizontal funnel so that the laser shot up diagonally. I could redirect that to 2 sources:

1. I went up to the faithplate, but it wouldn't fling me to the door. It just bumped my head.

I opened the exit door, but couldn't get up to it. I tried running up the diagonal laser, and standing on the lip of the deactivated lightbridge by the door, but failed.

Since I'm playtesting, what do you want me to do next? Take some hints from other comments?

Thanks. And please do take a look at my level.

Found the answer when I tried to subscribe again: "Some portal levels require restarting the game..."

Okay, I'm playing now, in the 3rd room, and having my mind blown. I'll keep an eye out for the difficulty in the 4th room!

Hi. Found your level with a search for the #F4F tag.

For some reason, I couldn't play it. I just got a message saying "An error occurred while downloading this map."

Any ideas? For now, I'll try unsubscribing it and then resubscribing again.

When you get a chance, can you check out my level?

It's my first level. I spent many hours testing it with a friend, tweaking and retesting. I think it's in solid shape, fun, and pretty clever.

Thanks.

Pointing the lasers sideways into the catchers was just plain evil . Well played, Geneosis. Well played.

Glad you liked ^^ Added the proposed maps to my list ;)

I liked the concept and most of the rooms. The final room was very difficult for me. I think you played the original of this one, thought you might like the new room in the Hammered version -

Thanks for testing, the way you did the last room sounds good ^^
The inactive light bridge is here to help you reach the exit in the third angle, it is not supposed to activate, you can just walk on it to reach the exit ;)

I'd rate it medium, the first 2 rooms were easy, the third had me pause for a while. But the fourth was quite fun, here's how I did it: I put the cube in the funnel at an angle (that made the laser hit a white surface, I flung myself up to the edge of the exit, and from there portalled the laser to the sphere/lightbridge reciever, as the sphere was on it's way up (from the catapult), I moved the portal to point at the funnel reciever, and caught the sphere. Throw sphere into funnel and exit

The lightbridge next to the exit (in the same square unit) never turned on for me, I don't know if there was a trigger I didn't trip, or if it is just there to stand on. That ending was err....different, sure wasn't expecting that.

#F4F I don't think you've played this one of mine Hammer3 - Large
