Ywa Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 The mapping contest deadline is too tight (probably because Valve is taking an early vacation) so I won't be participating. I'm not that much of an artist either.It's an unofficial contest. Valve is not really involved with it. Apart from spotlighting the winner.
Clavus Posted May 27, 2011 Author Posted May 27, 2011 Nice video Darkstar. Everyone seems to be playing exactly how I hoped they would: enter room -> explore mechanics -> fall into depression because they don't see how to solve it -> have satisfying 'Eureka!' moment -> win puzzle.The mapping contest deadline is too tight (probably because Valve is taking an early vacation) so I won't be participating.

Ywa Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 I'll give the map a serious play tonight, and record the first attempt.
Mr. Darkness Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 Wow, nice one. I should try doing 1 myself. Atleast I lnow how to special parent brush entities to prop_dynamic's
Corby Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 Speed run w/out glitching took me 45 secondsSpeed run w/ glitching (Still possible btw) takes me 42 seconds
CyriusG Posted May 28, 2011 Posted May 28, 2011 I solved it exactly the same way as you did it Ywa the first time i played it.
Clavus Posted May 28, 2011 Author Posted May 28, 2011 Third version! Thanks to Ywa for finding that quite tricky bug. Moved the door another 16 units back because I noticed I could still pull Mayco's trick off. Besides that I placed a few extra lights.DownloadI think that's pretty much all there is to this map. Thanks everyone for the videos! Next map is already in the works
Clavus Posted May 29, 2011 Author Posted May 29, 2011 And here is the first version of Entry02! Let me know what you think and recordings are appreciated.(yes the water texture is shite, I'll look harder for a better one)Download
TheGreenGrasshopper Posted May 29, 2011 Posted May 29, 2011 I played and recorded it but for some reason it has a resolution of 300px or whatever so it'll have to go like this.I quite enjoy it, it is possible to press the button without the gel though and I think it's under platform9 you can see the void/leak thingy you know when textures lag over each other.nevertheless it was incredible fun to find out the stuff
Botervloot Posted May 29, 2011 Posted May 29, 2011 (edited) I have to say, I quite liked it.Still, it's not really that subtle even so. Only after a lot of trail and error did I see how I could make it. The lightning is really bland, and so is the environment. I also disliked the use of the portal-gun; I didn't really use it that much at all. Edited May 29, 2011 by Botervloot

It probably won't be the final version anyway, I'll try and come back to it after I made the next maps in the series.
Clavus Posted May 29, 2011 Author Posted May 29, 2011 I couldnt solve it and used noclip You're a terrible tester and should kill yourself (still if you did record I'd love to watch it)
BouweV Posted May 29, 2011 Posted May 29, 2011 (edited) I liked it, recorded it aswellIt's uploading as we speak, so vid coming in a moment (doing it in 480p for the sake of faster uploading)Edit:Gonna do it in HD after all, don't want crappy looking vid on my youtube And after someone kept me awake by constantly texting I do can place it here this night.. 1080p available and look at me failing to type the mapnamegonna be hard to wake up in 3 hours Edited May 30, 2011 by BouweV
Clavus Posted May 30, 2011 Author Posted May 30, 2011 Thanks for the videos BouweV and Darkstar The (for now) final version of Entry02: download.
BouweV Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 (edited) You had a squeeky nose Nice playthrough though Yeah, normally it's not noticable,. but my mic settings were very sensitive so yeah.. and thanks Edited May 30, 2011 by BouweV
