Okay so since there are no signs it'll be fixed, I took it upon myself to help out people and to provide a link to the file of Solais' Additional Laser Colors Mod, with instructions on how to use it:

I don't want to appear as if I'm profiting off of it since my reason is that I Let's Played it (in French), it's just to help people out.

@jean-luc:
OK thanks.
Corrected the script. It works now.
StarTheCat2003 18 May, 2021 @ 12:57pm 
The code after you complete the pyramid puzzles
ma.hirsch  [author] 18 May, 2021 @ 11:15am 
@jean-luc:
What world? Which puzzle?
Unfortunately I don't know what you mean.
StarTheCat2003 18 May, 2021 @ 6:39am 
so I was replaying the map and i noticed that the code puzzle in the area you unlock with the pink and light blue after getting all the green sigils but not the stars and the code didn't appear even after i restarted is that intentional or a bug

Hot patch!
The Pyramid - Puzzle 02:
It is no longer possible to take things outside.
The game occasionally crashed when the player went outside
was teleported. This error has now also been eliminated.
ma.hirsch  [author] 27 May, 2020 @ 4:46am 
Have uploaded a new big update:
All Worlds: Visibility sectors have been added.
All worlds: postpocessing effects processed, lightning.
The Pyramid - Puzzle 01: The tricky jump to the roof has been removed,
this will automatically land the player on the roof.
A few scripts have been worked up.
All worlds: a few minor repairs.
Tidied up the folder a little. Delete unnecessary files.
ma.hirsch  [author] 28 Oct, 2019 @ 3:25am 
Special update is ready.(But only for the old version!)
Now the cat in the pyramid also appears,
if she is released at the end of the game,
without reset.
ma.hirsch  [author] 27 Oct, 2019 @ 10:54pm 
barrymead:
I already realised that. Thanks for the hint.
A small change to the script is needed to make the cat appear
if you release them only at the end of the game.
Let's see, maybe there will be a special update.
barrymead 27 Oct, 2019 @ 3:23pm 
ma.hirsch: I realize that updates will not be made to the older version or newer version until croteam fixes the workshop upload stuff, but when that happens I wanted you to be aware of a little anomaly concerning the white cat. If you release the cat on your first visit to the pyramid then it appears again at the end. If, however, you release the cat on your second visit to the pyramid it does not remember the cat unless you reset or exit the game after releasing the cat.
ma.hirsch  [author] 20 Sep, 2019 @ 11:25pm 
I'm sorry. Updates will not be available until the developers have repaired the workshop.
During this time please take the old version.
StarTheCat2003 20 Sep, 2019 @ 6:59am 
something called "BatchedParticles.mtr" makes that game crash
ma.hirsch  [author] 18 Sep, 2019 @ 8:45am 
Very strange. Before release, I tested it under Windows 10.
StarTheCat2003 18 Sep, 2019 @ 8:13am 
windows 10
ma.hirsch  [author] 18 Sep, 2019 @ 7:57am 
I know it. Which operating system do you have?
StarTheCat2003 18 Sep, 2019 @ 4:09am 
i noticed that the error is for a particle file
StarTheCat2003 17 Sep, 2019 @ 3:00pm 
my version 440323
ma.hirsch  [author] 12 Sep, 2019 @ 10:23pm 
@jean-luc:
It works with all the required content. (See above, in the description.)
Only in Linux the new version does not work yet. Sorry.
StarTheCat2003 11 Sep, 2019 @ 12:40pm 
The new version of the map is unable to load
Alby 15 Aug, 2019 @ 2:11am 
Oh well, thanks for the effort. Digging through Steam folders trying to get this to work, I found out where the player profile is saved, so I will probably revert to the older build to play it sometime.
ma.hirsch  [author] 15 Aug, 2019 @ 1:44am 
@Alby:
At the moment, unfortunately, I do not know any further. I'm working with Windows 7. (I have not installed Linux.)
Alby 15 Aug, 2019 @ 1:33am 
Yes I have, validates fine.

Also, that's 440323 on Linux, not 440323 on Windows. But still, never had any problem running any workshop maps before.
ma.hirsch  [author] 15 Aug, 2019 @ 1:12am 
@Alby:
Strange. Have you ever had the installation folder checked for errors?
Alby 15 Aug, 2019 @ 1:06am 
440323
ma.hirsch  [author] 15 Aug, 2019 @ 1:04am 
@Alby:
Which version will be displayed at the start of Talos Principle in the upper right corner?
Alby 15 Aug, 2019 @ 12:38am 
Still not working. I also tried moving the workshop folder with the legacy .gro files somewhere else.
ma.hirsch  [author] 14 Aug, 2019 @ 10:58pm 
@Alby:
There may be a conflict with another map from the community.
Just take all out of the Talos folder, except for Additional Laser Colors.
Then try again.
Alby 14 Aug, 2019 @ 9:32pm 
That's strange, never played the VR version, that error is coming up in the normal Talos Principle.
ma.hirsch  [author] 14 Aug, 2019 @ 8:15pm 
@Alby:
Does it work now?
The error with the "BatchedParticles" occurs only in the VR version.

Additional Laser Colors you also have to copy the -.gro file into the Talos folder.
Alby 14 Aug, 2019 @ 1:26pm 
Yes I even reinstalled DLC to make sure they were compatible with new engine. I knew additional lasers worked because I used those in other maps, The Day After I believe.
ma.hirsch  [author] 14 Aug, 2019 @ 10:05am 
@Alby:
Did you install all required DLCs and additional Laser Colors?
(This version does not work in VR yet!)
Alby 13 Aug, 2019 @ 9:24pm 
Followup: moddable version comes up with "unable to load level.", although instead of crashing, that error is contained in the game instead of in a seperate window.
Alby 13 Aug, 2019 @ 9:22pm 
When I try to open the dropbox map in the new engine the game crashes with this error:
Cannot open file Content/Talos/Presets/Shaders/BatchedParticles.mtr

Also just before that error the console prints out "Mismatched number of external files detected in Content/Talos/Levels/Only Puzzles 2/OnlyPuzzles2.rsc"
Calwin 4 Aug, 2019 @ 1:27pm 
Alright, tnx!
Agenta 4 Aug, 2019 @ 9:17am 
Yes.
Calwin 4 Aug, 2019 @ 2:45am 
@Agenta Thank u very much, I'll look into it. I enjoyed the map a lot and was a bit sad yesterday when I thought I couldn't finish it. Maybe if I install the prototype DLC it will work.
I'm very grateful for ur response!
Agenta 3 Aug, 2019 @ 7:21pm 
@calwin. This map-set requires the Prototype DLC to be installed. If you don't have that DLC that level cannot be loaded.
Calwin 3 Aug, 2019 @ 4:43pm 
I play with the old modable version btw.
Calwin 3 Aug, 2019 @ 4:42pm 
I get 'unable to load level' when I try to load world 2 (code 4783)
Don't know how to fix this. I tried several times after restoring a backup and it happens every time.
If I quit and start the game again I'm stuck at the loading and it loads forever.
ma.hirsch  [author] 29 Jun, 2019 @ 12:37am 
@rainbeauxbread:
Unfortunately, some regions can not load from Dropbox.
In this case, please go back to the old version.
There they all work.
Sorry.
rainbowbread [#FixTF2] 28 Jun, 2019 @ 12:34pm 
i can't load the .gro file :steamsad:
ma.hirsch  [author] 19 May, 2019 @ 3:12pm 
Have uploaded a new update.
All Worlds - Puzzle Terrains are changed.
Other various changes.
ylombardo 28 Apr, 2019 @ 1:08pm 
@Barrymead : Thanks. What could we do without your precious help ?
ma.hirsch  [author] 30 Mar, 2019 @ 11:31pm 
barrymead; and for all subscribers:

OK. Will remember if I update the thing.
The sole re-save is not enough. The computer terminals
will not work after the update, so the level will not be loaded!
So there is still a lot of work ahead of me, it will take some time.
That's why this version of the game stays with you for a while.
Sorry for this adversity.
derbyr 29 Mar, 2019 @ 9:41pm 
That worked for me too. Seems as though you have no choice but to accept and download the forced update. Workshop maps won't work. Then follow barrymead's directions for downloading the previous version. These same instructions are included in the note to the update which is how I figured out the workaround.
barrymead 29 Mar, 2019 @ 4:20pm 
Agenta1999: I found a way to get the workshop files to work again. Click on the steam icon then library, then right click on the Talos Principle and then Properties. Then open the Betas tab and use the pulldown to select "Previous Version" (The game will download the older version, then you will be able to play the workshop maps again.
Agenta 29 Mar, 2019 @ 1:15pm 
Oh NVM. Apparently I can't access them either.
Agenta 29 Mar, 2019 @ 11:01am 
@barrymead Well strangely I can still play all of the custom maps and workshop content on the most recent patch. Any explanation for that?
ma.hirsch  [author] 29 Mar, 2019 @ 9:37am 
derbyr:
Is it the same with all workshop content?
I can not check it right now. My main computer is broken.
Sorry.
