how to get the madrigel achevement?

I aggre with FlimFlam. The offices where also very bland, which turned down the good design and puzzle of the chamber.

I didn't like the second achievement. I actually had to trigger the server cheats and look at your comments for tips to find that thing, it seems you need to know some sort of reference to get it. Personally that worked for me on achievement 1 since you don't need to actually get the reference to get the achievement, but since that is an requirement on achievement 2 a lot of people aren't gonna get that. imo it's poor design.

oh the scary one was office prank

this one is a little scary at a part of this

Visually it ended up being super awkward for me, with the etremely under-detailed, and almost non-cannon offices, that just flew into a very nicely made overgrown chamber.....It made no sense. To go with that, the puzzle was questionable.....

5/10

the beginning gave me halo ce flashbacks

Hey Rector, nice map! The funnel puzzle got me good, but what took the most time was trying to find the achievements. "Get Rekt" was quite easy, but I needed a hint for "Ivory's Irony". Overall, it was pretty good, although I wasn't a big fan of the intro in regards to looks. Although this map is over a year old, so it's all good :)

I played the first three maps on stream: https://youtu.be/1Ta-FSceAFE?t=16m

Hopefully you get the inspiration to carry on making this series - Actualy I DEMAND you carry on with it :)

This was fantastic. I love the level design (nice little puzzle there--just the right size to be fun but not too long) and the textures, sounds, etc. were great. And, of course, the Guilty Spark reference was just wonderful. I found the wrecking ball, but not the madrigal. Despite reading the comments here, I still can't seem to locate it. I feel like I'm missing something obvious.

The wall in the starting chamber is flickering for me, also, but I found no other glitches. I played it twice and the palm-mural wall was behaving weirdly both times. Otherwise, fantastic chamber. Thanks for putting so much effort into this--it really shows! Looking forward to Part 2.

not good i can't beat it

Found the first achievment, but where's the 2nd one?

Nice map and lots of fun!

A good puzzle! Also, the water_mist particle effect was very weird looking.
Thumbs up!

I found Miley Cyrus rekting ball.

What a fantastic map, thumbs up!
There are a couple of maps I'm trying to get out there a bit, try it and leave a comment :)
Cubelessness 3: Perpetual
MonoPortal 1: Singularity
MonoPortal 2: Inside
MonoPortal 3: MonoMentum
Thanks

I'm sorry. It's from the UAC Mars colony, not Black Mesa.

I guess the Union Aerospace Corporation has decided to work with Aperture to create a bigger, badder portal device. Or maybe the UAC has just rented out their office on Earth to Aperture. Either way that scrolling text makes no sense in context.

I don't see why Aperture would have anything from Black Mesa. The scrolling text didn't make sense. The places mentioned are from the beginning of Half-Life and really don't fit in this context, unless you were implying that this part of aperture was somehow connected to the Black mesa complex.

Well,
It stopped once I left the chamber, cause it took me about that long to finish
So it wasn't like a glitch or something
but it was an awesome map.
It was really cool
(How did you do the acheivements?)

@Bad_Aim You can still throw?! Wow.

@Freeman|TR Haha thanks for playing! :)

@kimist108 His model got "killed", so he's technically gone. Why? Did you see him?

@PotatoGrenade No you shouldn't. Unless you stood there until it stopped. It should stop when you reach the bottom level.

Ugh...
Once I obtained 'Get Rekt' I had to listen to that song through the whole rest of the chamber...

Are you sure Guilty Spark is gone? Didn't he just relocate?

Didn't believe I was a moron at first. But the one cube one funnel two buttons stucked me for about half an hour. Well...

My brute force solution was to ride the funnel up as far as I could go, throw the cube and reshoot the funnel portal to catch it mid-air. This was clearly not the intended solution, but it worked.

Thanks! :D

@Jonathan ...I did. It's right before the first screenshot.

Please post a video of you solving the test, i can't find the solution...

Beautiful decayed environment and nice puzzle. Thanks for creating again....on to pt 2

Very good work here (and a lot of work I guess !). Thumbs up :)

Solved it but no additional achievements! Thumbsup!

oh then i shall try again

No it's not the palm wall.

the palm wall?

You know where the wall is?

I Think The Func_Trigger is broken

I still can't get it to work : P

@Sinned42 Thanks! :)

@Skyferret Thanks for the suggestion. Might do it on the next map. :)

@Bad_Aim How?

@Genghis-Nightmare-Shitting-Khan It involves waiting for a few seconds next to a wall - a unique one that stands out from the rest. The achievement and the madrigal name gives it away. :P

I can't figure out how to get the ivory's irony achivement, Little Help Rector?

Well, I seem to have come up with a more of a brute force solution than that showed in the video. I might not have worked out the tight timing you intended :/

I knew there was some timing of some sort. Either the player or the cube had to be ahead or behind one another. Thanks for the video.

One thing I'd like to suggest. Perhaps a NoDraw func_brush just inside the cube dropper. The next cube that's ready to drop can sit on it, and the brush can be toggled just after the dropper opens. This way the cube wont scrub on the opening during item_dropper_open. Unless you've already thought about it.

anyhow, nice map. I like the Rolodex numeric combo unlock.

I'll admit, I was stumped for quite some time, but the solution is really pretty simple. Great puzzle.

@Silver the Assassin & RoentgenDevice I uploaded the solution video, go check it out!

@Dark Thank you! :)

@Skyferret Woah you stayed for 40 minutes?! I admire your tenacity man.
Here's the solution video .

20 minutes, take a break. Another 20 minutes, and the harder you think, the less you'll solve it. Looks nice, but I'm stumped. I feel like a complete f**king idiot cuz the solution is probably something really simple. Video please.

Such a nice puzzle :)

I don't get it, either o_O but it looks great

@RectorRocks I already tried that but couldnt figure out how to make that work

@Silver the Assassin That's for you to find out my friend. It involves bringing the cube into the main funnel .

First test makes no sense, how do i get myself to the other side and get the cube up to the button?

Ok I will have someone tp accompany me in the computer room ty!
