OMG! Very very strange chabmer, but i liked it :)

GLaDOS also says: "you will be baked, and then there will be cake" and never directly says that you will be given the cake. And when she tells you to go back, there is no truth or lie about it, she wants you to go back to the testing chambers.

Ok, I did not play the other chambers in this series... or did I?
I most certainly always believe GLaDOS's technical advice, I do not litsen to or believe her other comments. I did not hear any GLaDOS lines in this chamber.

Also reffering to this: "Did you listen to GLaDOS when she told you to stay on the platform in temperatures above 5000* kelvin?" SHe said that the equiptment could withstand those temperatures, not human flesh.

Thanks for your feedback. I had forgotten this fact, and simply tried to impliment an element that community maps had not used commonly before.

Umm... DIdn't GLaDOS say that you should NEVER submerge the device in liquid? If the portalgun indeed has a black hole inside of it the water would be sucked up and larger and larger ammounts of the universe would come together ending the entire world. So yeah, That I just found kind of off. I don't know, I find that unrealistic.

That's a really good interpretation! Unfortunately, I probably won't make it as annoying to complete a simple task in the future. Everyone still plays Portal for the entertainment value, of course!

I'll keep these ideas in mind in future maps. I may just have enough free time to work on a project tomorrow...

You know... what's really awesome about the map is that it can really immerse you in a realistic way (if you let it). You're in that room and you must get up to the catwalk. In real life there aren't always easy paths either - you have to really work to get to your goal! That room doesn't feel like a video game map but rather like a realistic scenario. After that there's a door which is half open and in order to get through it, you have to crawl - only then can you get through it slowly. Those are elements I really like! They give the player a strong feeling of having achieved something, too. (Which... to be honest... isn't terribly common in the "mapping community", if you ask me.)

You're welcome! I really hope you'll make an Act 3 someday, too! ;)

Wow! Thanks! I'm really sorry that the map wasn't what it could have been, I lost the files for it a long time ago and was too lazy to recreate it from scratch. This was also my first large-scale hammer project, so many objects could have been set up better.

However, it's great to hear that someone enjoyed this map so much! This was also my first map to have been 'Let's Played' by a member of the community, and that player didn't like it much. :P

I'm rambling again, but again, thanks! It's encouragement from people like you who keep me making maps like this!

Hey Apex! After some initial frustration, I began to absolutely LOVE this map!! I took about half an hour covering the whole room with the burst pipe in white gel until I could climb on the upper pipe and there I continued with the white gel until I could climb onto the catwalk to the door. The puzzle after that was tricky, too, but a VERY interesting challenge!!

i didnt said u dont know how to use hammer, but u can watch the tutorials and get better ;)

@G.P: If I didn't know how to use the hammer editor, how did I upload several different maps using it? ;D Also, the first test is very hard, I know. You can't simply portal to the upper door, you have to use expert flinging skills! ;D

the first test is impossible, we cant reach at the door... have a lot of tutorials how to use the HAMMER, ik, its pretty hard, BUT PLEASE! WATCH SOME TUTORIALS!! here: http://www.tophattwaffle.com/tutorials/ it will help u

@EpicFaceless: Thanks and i hpoe there will be a act 3

@jetlove02: Portal the white through the door! ;D

i cant get past the room i can open the door to get out but i have nothing to keep the buton held down in order for me to get out

Now, anyone else reading this, I said this map was 'terrible.' I am also saying the next map will be great! That's a big difference! This map series overall won't be the best by far, but I do plan on adding less buggy puzzles (lol), turrets, and a little suprise. ;D

Hey, That Greek Guy, don't comment here saying this map is terrible. I know it is terrible. (That's what the huge disclaimers are for. -_-) You have only proven that you didn't read the description. Also, this was my first full-length hammer map, so what more do you want, honestly? Furthermore, if you are only going to spam, your comment will be deleted. I do not remove comments giving critisism, even if it isn't constructive, but this does not give you the right to cut everyone's head off. ;)

You said 'It's the future' does not count as a storyline. You're right. You obviously didn't play Act 1, but the story isn't fully developed yet. The players travel through, then hear that a rogue traveling throughout the facility has found a prototype chasis. (It's almost exactly like the coop storyline so far, i know). Anyway, the point is that the storyline will be fully developed in Act 3.

i cant wait for the third one these maps are great @EpicFaceless!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sv_cheats 1; noclip consol i can fly

you did it right. Sometimes getting a portal to stick through the open door can be a, well, it can be really hard. That's one of the bugs with the map that can't be fixed anymore. If you just can't get it to work though, you've already won anyway. Walking through that portal would complete the level. sorry for the bugs.

Hi Epic- yes I've been doing that, but then what? Tried shooting a portal theough the open door, but that doesn't work. As soon as I step off the laser button, the door closes and I'm syuck again. Going crazyyyyy......

Oh. Screamer, I'm sorry. I deleted the walkthrough at the end of dev; my bad.

Here's your solution: Don't place both cubes on the buttons! Use the antique cube to hold the button that gives you the redirection cube. Position the redirection cube, then stand on the button that turns on the laser emitter! If you need more help, let me know! ;D

Yes, but you need two cubes to hold both buttons down to activate the laser: as soon as you get two-the others vaporize. Also, what walk-through?

@Screamer: I assume the room past the offices? You must use gel to get to the raised area on the far side of the room. There is a button under the antique cube dispenser. Push it to receive a cube. Place this cube on the far left 'HOLD DOWN' button. This will allow you to keep the redirection cube. From there, you're on your own! (Unless you read the walkthrough in the description ;D)

Heeelllppp!! CAn't get through the door- tried dropping the turret boxes on the button but that didn't do it- what's the answer??

Nice map ;) ... but http://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=246831421

lol

P.S: Sorry for the long delay. Life has been a moron too recently. :P

I finally found the cause of the non-pushable button bug. It was so simple, but I couldn't figure it out, and now I feel like a moron. Ill update around Saturday, 3/22/14.

Same here i can't press the button could u update it plz

cant press the damn button

..

Pushing the button does nothing. All I get is that sound you hear when there's nothing to pick up.

I can't press the Button :(

Found out how to get out of the map witihn 5 minutes XD. Other than that I really liked it

COOL

I know that this chamber is actually no better than the last installment, but once again, this is a pre-release, and WILL receive expansions in the future!
