Thank you again.
Glad you had fun

medium/hard test rooms but so much fun killing the turrets

lfairban
glad you enjoyed it.

Yep, that was fun.

jjgm
thankyou for playing.

Many try, lot of questions to find how and why but after all i get out of this map.
It was not easy at all. Thanks.

bullfrog
thankyou very much.
glad you did not fall at the last hurdle.
& a night's sleep often does help.
as our subconcious sometimes solves problems, that were on our mind.
(unfortunatly, not always)

That was absolutely brilliant. I’ve played over 500hrs on Portal 2 and 100’s of community test chambers and this one has got be in the top 10, if not higher. I can’t understand why it’s only got 3* and not a maximum 5* rating – I can only imagine that some (most?) find it a bit tough and give up too soon. It took me a while and a night’s sleep to crack it; even when I eventually got the ball where I thought/knew it should be just before the end my heart sank until I thought, hold on and then solved it. I’ve played 1 and 2, which were both good, but 3 is outstanding... on to 4 now . Thank you

Zoraya
Thankyou :)
when you publish your next map.
your welcome to leave a link in my comments.
as I have played all your published ones.
glad you enjoyed it.

Fun and challenging map with some surprising moments, I always like that.
The last part is quite cool, ha ha, bye bye turrets!!
Thanks for another creative work, I look forward to your others!

jandlml
thankyou for playing & the comments.
glad you had fun :)
I have added one of your maps to my list.

wow cant believe i finished this one. loved it. been struggling lately to finish some of these chambers.makes me feel real good when i do. excelent

daloboy
Thankyou.
Also, when you make your TWTM map.
send me a link & I will gladly play it.
be warned, when over the item limit.
it often lets you build the map.
but an assortment of errors can occure.
so if problems, often deleting items solves it.
but I love this mod.
it takes portal to the next level / dimension.

Yes, I have install and try your first map in TwTM. I will eventualy play more of those. Thanks.

daloboy thankyou.
I have updated this map, adding grating, to stop your shortcut, exploit.
thankyou for the helpfull video & re-testing.
if you want to play my latest maps.
you will need to download the FREE portal 2 mod "Thinking with time machine" from the steam workshop. It requires more brain power to play & make maps.
don't know why "I" got it ? :)
ps. it also has the free "bee mod", that installs automatically.
which gives you more items to make maps with & gates & triggets. even autosaves, which you drag from your pallete & place on your map, where ever you want.

Hi there mood3rd. It's been a long time, so I played this one again. My solution , not the intended, I think. Have a good week-end!

kimist108
thankyou

Agree 100% with mrsumo.

mrsumo
thankyou again.
have fun.
any problems, I will be happy to help.

ANOTHER 2 THUMBS UP, LOOK FORWARDS TO # 4

rob
thankyou
glad you liked it.

This is a brilliant map. Very intricate and quite hard. Some very clever ideas, keep up the good work.

chrishrly
thankyou.
glad you enjoyed it.

I agree with Toncica you use the element of surprise very effectivly, very enjoyable map. The extra chalenge was also fun:)

Big Moustache
yes I do like to know what the people think of my maps. & thankyou :)
well done with turret challange :)

Mood3rd
Is it still useful to tell you that it is extremely good map? Thumb up of course
I note your challenge(kill 3 turrets without using funel) and here is my solution
my solution. What do you think?

update 1.2:
added grating, glass, fizzler, portable area, altered connections & antines.
due to exploits found by toncica.
thankyou toncica
for extra challenge: remove 3 turrets from light bridge room alive (without using funel)
it can be done :)

toncica
thankyou.
I just subscribed to all your maps, exept the ones you say not to.

I don't remember if I pressed any key. Probably not because I wanted to reach the button and not mess up the flight. I think I pressed the button a fraction of a second too late the first time, that makes the difference.

ps.
when you died, after launching from the faithplate.
did you press any of the W.A.S. D. keys ?
as I have never died doing this, since I did an update, a while ago.

toncica
thankyou very much :)
your video revealed exploits again.
I just finished editing.
went over item limit, so took a while to sort.
flinging to high button in 2nd room, no longer possible.
using cube as a shield, while exiting, no longer possible.
hopefuly :)
thankyou again.
this leaves me no time to play your maps today.
but I will soon.

"HA HA HA"... Although I was supposed to get saved it was the only time I died, sweet irony. :) Again I enjoyed the hell out of it. On your maps I can never be sure what happens next. It's nice being able to get surprised again after playing countless maps. I admire your style, it reminds me of Nyskrte, who was my ideal at the time I started to make the first map.

Myr (FID)
thankyou very much for the offer.
but I am not interested in co-op maps.

Myr (FID)
I only play single player maps, but you have one I have not played:
Laser Stairs - Alpha 1.4
I have subscribed.
thankyou

Myr (FID)
thankyou for your feedback.
your settings only allow friends to view your workshop etc.
so if you want me to play another of your maps.
can you please give me a link to it.
glad you enjoyed my map :)
I just re-tested, as did this a long time ago.
no secret room in aha room, just your leap of faith, as in the title
& the essential pedestal button.
as for the sphere, if you forget it, re-spawn it in entrance / exit chamber.

Drackvor
thankyou, glad you had fun.
I just subscribed to your maps.

once again another fun puzzle (this is the one that made the room spin the other night after I went for a drink) but i played it again...sober...and got to the exit. here are a couple of mine to look at, my newest one...i did just for a bit of fun https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=124891423
and the second one, more of a serious attempt at a puzzle (but my first attempt at using a companion cube/s)https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=120446928

your welcome.

Very good idea. Thanks again.

Diamond Knight
if you use noclip.
after entering noclip.
type & enter
god
this will stop you dying.
eg you can safely go through laser fields.
turrets can't kill you etc.
I some times use to look at gate systems on maps.
or to miss sections of a map I am working on & test a later chamber.

I figured out how to use Noclip. WOW.

your welcome.
but if you go into steam files, be very carefull, not to corrupt, or delete them.

Thanks for the lesson. I'll look into all of it.

the following is how to play & record demo files.
the ability is in your steam program files already on your pc.
INSTRUCTIONS
---
To play demo file

1. Unzip the .dem file
2. Put in folder "...Steam\steamapps\common\portal 2\portal2"
3. In game console put "playdemo NAMEFILE"

---

To record a demo file

1. In game console put "record NAMEFILE"

though I found it easier to get another software, called fraps.
I got the paid version & when I open it & am in game.
I press 1 key to record & press it again to stop, easy.
then I use windows movie maker to add text etc.
then upload to youtube.
their are probably loads of other video software, to choose from.

thankyou for the offer, but I don't know how you could play before it is published.
& when I work on a map, I alter so frequently, that the version you would be playing,
would be out of date.
some video's I did & then updated the map.
then the video is useless as a walkthrough.
this, & time is why I rarely do them any more.

Well, if you want help, I'm available.
With the exception of being pretty bad at solving them, I am pretty good at checking things out.
I am old enough to not have an ego so whether you take my suggestions or not, it doesn't matter... they're your maps.
My thought is this. If there's a way that I can play your maps before you publish them to the world, I could be that 2nd pair of eyes... and as soon as I learned how to make a demo of me playing, you could see what I do when I play.
Just a thought.

not exactly.
I make my own maps & sometimes make my own video's (but time & updates are an issue here)
people comment on my maps, which helps me.
but before publishing, I don't have any help.
I make my maps without anyones help or advice, untill published.
I test, test, test...
before I publish myself.
but I find making maps rewarding, dispite any problems,
eg item limit.

Question: I just read that "blog" on making good chambers. Do you have anyone that you work with... as in testing chambers, making demos to watch, etc. ?

Diamond Knight
time...
yes, their never seems enough.
I don't play as many as I would like, since I started making them :(
my list of maps to play is vast & growing.
I have a few maps under develepment.
the sphere problem I just published, I started ages ago.
but over item limit & deleting, breaking, fixing, stopping expliots.
back over item limit etc, etc..
caused much delay.
I had to leave it for a while, to take a fresh look, before completing.
would be a lot easier, without the item limit.

Completed is an over-simplification. More like Completed with LOTS of help.
As far as making more maps. I don't have time. Between playing everyone else's, writing to ask for help, reading the help, etc... I just don't have time to make my own.
