Ce fut trèèèès long avant que je ne me rende compte à savoir oü prendre la 5ième sphere. J'ai réussi sans voir la vidéo, ce que je n'ai pas put faire avec la No 45, Avais essaigé bien des trucs mais le portai au premier plancher n'aivais pas vu du tout. Merci, je continue a faire les autres chambres.

Made a walkthrough! Link above with captures. Enjoy!

Excellent Aardvark64!

Daloboy: I looked again at this part and found that one wall is glass but the other is actually grating. How could I have failed to see this??? Aaaagh! Easy now.

Aardvark64: I will make a video for the last sphere.
Aardvark00 Feb 12, 2014 @ 5:59am 
J'aurais dit que c'était une excellente chambre mais il a été gâté pour moi parce que la seule façon que j'ai pu trouver pour obtenir la cinquième sphère du mécanisme de contrôle de panneau de basculement était d'exploiter un bug dans le portail qui permet la prise de vue entre les vitres de verre adjacentes. J'étais alors en mesure de récupérer la sphère hors du faisceau de tracteur à l'aide de mon autre portail dans le panneau de basculement. Je n'ai jamais trouvé un moyen d'entrer dans la salle basse à côté des rayons tracteurs.
Si ce n'était pas la méthode prévue alors je serais très heureux de ce test.

Good for you BUG!

Hi daloboy! Great job and much fun.Figuring out where the last sphere was took me some time,then I saw it staring at me.Thanks daloboy.
daloboy  [author] May 11, 2013 @ 9:25am 
Took out a trap...and added a way to preview the rooms....Enjoy!

Thank you stormsend!

At each sucess there appeared another 'oh no what now' moment. Tnis continued all the way to the end. I had tremendous fun solving. Definitely a favorite. Twice I thought it was over. There was no way I could do what I knew had to be done. But I tried it anyway and was surprised to see it could be done. Thanks for a great map.
daloboy  [author] Mar 30, 2013 @ 10:19am 
You made it again SkyRoots!

Getting the first four spheres (screen shot #1) was fun. The last sphere was quite tricky.

Thank you mood3rd and Big Moustachu!

you probably know this.
but if someone tries to get the 2nd sphere, the panel flips & they are trapped:
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=133956333

I did get all the spheres, & the cube on the buttons on the exit chamber floor, at last :)
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=133956143

you successfuly stopped my last exploit :) :( ( can't make my mind up :) )

you stopped us getting trapped due to premature funel deactivation :)

in my opinion, the goo you previously added enhances this chamber.
mood3rd Mar 25, 2013 @ 12:51pm 
daloboy
your welcome.
glad to help :)
will re-test later.
dispite the previous problems mentioned.
I have enjoyed this map very much :)
the negatives are a very small % of the map.
& I look forward to your next creation.
ps. all my maps have been updated as well.
so don't feel bad.
dispite much testing.
to publish a perfect map. no one would ever finish it.
as their is always someone who finds an exploit or problem.
I just hope it is sooner, rather than later.
so I can fix as soon as posible.
daloboy  [author] Mar 25, 2013 @ 11:23am 
Merci BM! Je fais une petite modification ce soir et je crois que vous aimerez!
Big Moustache Mar 25, 2013 @ 11:12am 
Tres bonnes corrections de ce niveau. Merci donc à Mood3rd, et comme lui, je trouve que d'obtenir la 5eme sphere de cette facon n'est pas une bonne idée. J'ai beaucoup cherché cette 5 eme sphere, et j'avoue avoir été déçu de l'utilisation de ce bug pour la dénicher.
Je me rappelle trés bien de ce bug car tu l'avais utilisé dans ma carte BigMap08 (Bowling)
Beaucoup de joueurs ne penseront pas à cette solution. Tu peux mieux faire cher DB.
daloboy  [author] Mar 24, 2013 @ 6:41pm 
Added a portable tile from room 2 to 1...
daloboy  [author] Mar 24, 2013 @ 6:05pm 
Corrected the "trap in first room if sphere on second button, before activating the cube button" specified by mood3rd! Thanks again mood3rd. Mood3rd: On the toppick of 5th sphere location, I had seen the use of that space between glass in other's map before. I will had a hint in the description and we'll see if it's enough! Thank you again for those really constructive comments and tests!
daloboy  [author] Mar 24, 2013 @ 5:47pm 
Oops! Sorry mood3rd! Did not see your first comment before about a trap! Will try to work something! Thanks.
daloboy  [author] Mar 24, 2013 @ 5:34pm 
And a new update for those brave testers! Please comment!
daloboy  [author] Mar 24, 2013 @ 4:43pm 
Thank you mood3rd for that walkthrough! I will try to prevent that one too!
mood3rd Mar 24, 2013 @ 4:10pm 
now how I solved getting to the pedestal button:
activate the portable area that faces the pedestal button & under the funel.
activate the funel.
then fire a portal at the portable area, that faces the pedestal button.
then go through the portable area, where you came into this chamber.
(on the wall, just step in)
then as you are coming out of the portal, facing the pedestal buton.
fire the other portal, at the portable area, under the funel.
mood3rd Mar 24, 2013 @ 4:04pm 
I think it is now possibe to get trapped in the 1st cahamber.
if you put the sphere in the funel, that goes to the button.
then put the other sphere on the button, by the funel.
(leaving the 3 spheres above, with 3 funels only activated in this chamber)
then portal back for the cube.
you realise the funel that sends the sphere into the button, that turns off the laser field,
is not working.
& you are trapped :(
1 of the 2 spheres used was from where you said.
the other, was the 1 that drops automaticaly.

getting the sphere you told me about, in that way, is in my opinion, is a very bad idea.
it is more of a glitch, than a puzzle element.
it will probably have a negative responce, from most players.
if they even solve it ?
daloboy  [author] Mar 24, 2013 @ 3:11pm 
mood3rd, you're to good...or evil for me! Thank you for your continuing testing support!
the 5th sphere is taken from the alterning panel, which permits you fix the panel to white. You can portal the lower floor there by aiming between the 2 vertical glass!
mood3rd Mar 24, 2013 @ 1:45pm 
daloboy
yes you have successfully stopped the use of the first funel,
to press the pedestal button, in the exit chamber.
I still have an empty sphere button on the floor, in the exit chamber.
is their another sphere ?
anyway, I solved it without the extra sphere.
in fact, you can remove another & I can still solve it.
daloboy  [author] Mar 23, 2013 @ 5:38pm 
mood3rd: Now, that will do the trick! Please, try again sometime in the future!
daloboy  [author] Mar 23, 2013 @ 5:28pm 
Great one again mood3rd! I knew someone would eventualy use the lower funnel! And not a surprise it is yourself! I'll will work on it again...with pleasure!
mood3rd Mar 23, 2013 @ 5:00pm 
daloboy
much better, though 1 sphere destroyed by panel.
player can't get trapped, as before the update.
I still could not find enough spheres, for the buttons in the lower exit area ?
1 sphere short.
so I left the 2 buttons that activate the funel & flip panel under the funel empty.
then took 1 sphere back to the button, that activates the angled panel.
(previously attached to a cage)
then used the funel from here, to reach the pedestal button,
in the exit chamber.
daloboy  [author] Mar 23, 2013 @ 12:58pm 
@mood3rd: I just realised that the "cage" was to prevent the spheres from falling in the goo, from a previous version, before I added the stairs and lower floor! I took out the grating facing the button. Please try again...thanks.
@BigMoustache: J'ai fais quelques modifications...je crois bien que tu pourras enfin apprécier la 5ième sphère...qui n'est pas cachée, en passant...
daloboy  [author] Mar 23, 2013 @ 6:15am 
You're right, I'll have to rework that part! For my testing, I go in the portal from the cage to the portal over the button, and then fetch the sphere from the funnel to place it on the button. That way always worked, but some times, it took me longer to go through, as if the button itself, if the portal is to low, will prevent the passage. I'll try to had a portal on the ceiling over the button to see if it become easier. Thanks mood3rd!
mood3rd Mar 22, 2013 @ 4:51pm 
daloboy
on re-testing I have been trapped 8 times in the cage:
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=133397675
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=133397589
1) I put the sphere on the button & the panel went through me.
2) I put it partly through the portal & touched the button. but before I let go the funel moved me upwards & the sphere came back to may side of the portal. but panel had trapped me.
without the sphere staying on the button ?
3) the sphere touched thwe button, but came partly back through the portal, as the panel was moving. then the sphere was destroyed.
had another 5 goes, but one of the above would happen ?
daloboy  [author] Mar 21, 2013 @ 6:36pm 
Well! Testers, do your thing! (please)
daloboy  [author] Mar 21, 2013 @ 1:39pm 
Thank you mood3rd for your kind words of appreciation!
I'll look at your snapshots tonight to correct this, because I want you (and BigMoustache) to have to use 5 spheres!!!!!
mood3rd Mar 21, 2013 @ 1:20pm 
daloboy
you sure do great openings :)
& the way the start is intergraited into the rest of the map is well designed.
I had 1 sphere missing, for the buttons in the exit room.
& I did not open the floor panel there.
I guess that is what to do with the missing sphere or empty button ?
did not need it though.
so maybe did unintended sollution, somewhere ?

you have a style of your own.
keep up the good work.
& your welcome to send me links to your new maps.
just paste them into the comments of 1 of my maps & I will play :)

J'ai pourtant bien chercher la 5eme sphere a tel point que j'ai douté de son existance
daloboy  [author] Mar 20, 2013 @ 11:36am 
Les lasers, c'est pour brûler la tourette qui y passe, afin d'éviter qu'elle aboutisse dans le rayon blue et empêche ta sphère de s'y rendre...et l'effet étincelle est assez sympathique! Le décallage des ascenseurs: effectivement, c'est pour le plaisir, puisque cela n'empêche en rien de passer, mais juste d'être un peu plus attentif! Et oui, il y a une 5ième sphère, que malheureusement pour moi, tu n'as pas besoin...encore!
Big Moustache Mar 20, 2013 @ 9:29am 
C'est fait. http://store.steampowered.com .
Je m'interroge quand même sur l'utilité de certaines modif. Pourquoi 2 lasers à l'entrée ?
Pourquoi avoir décalé 2 ascenseurs dans l'eau ?
Mais bon ce doit être pour le fun.
Mais où est dons passée la 5 eme sphere tant convoitée ?
Ou bien j'ai trouvé une manière de s'en passer et elle est bien cachée, ou alors tu es un petit plaisantin qui veut me mettre sur une fausse piste. Dubitatif et suspicieux je suis !
daloboy  [author] Mar 19, 2013 @ 10:38pm 
BM: mise à jour disponible...si tu as encore un peu de temps pour 5 sphères! Merci.
Jade BGE: did an update to force 5 spheres usage! If you got time... Thanks.
daloboy  [author] Mar 19, 2013 @ 11:32am 
Très drôle comme je ne vois pas certaines évidences! Probablement que je joue trop tard!!!! Je corrige et te fais signe. Merci!
Big Moustache Mar 19, 2013 @ 9:26am 
Excellent Niveau Bien Sur. J'ai dû recommencer une fois après avoir enfin passé le mur de laser (Au passage trés rusé bravo), car je n'avais pas le cube, ça c'est vicieux !!
Par contre j'avoue avoir chercher un bon moment la solution de la derniere salle. En effet il apparait qu'il faudrait 5 spheres pour terminer, et j'en ai que 4. Alors voici ma solution qui je suis sûr n'est pas celle que tu attendais!! Ah Ah Ah !!!
http://store.steampowered.com
Sinon, quand tu y auras remedié, dismoi s'il faut chercher une autre sphere ou se débrouiller avec ce qu'on a.
daloboy  [author] Mar 18, 2013 @ 3:12pm 
Thank you Jade BGE! Glad you enjoyed!
Jade BGE Mar 18, 2013 @ 3:07pm 
Ah, never mind. I was'nt very observant. I saw where the cube area was up there but I thought it was the ball area and I had already been in there. Anyway, I finished it and had a great time. Thanks for your efforts daloboy. Fun.
daloboy  [author] Mar 18, 2013 @ 12:21pm 
Hi Jade BGE! Do you have the cube and spheres...
Jade BGE Mar 18, 2013 @ 12:11pm 
Hi daloboy. I can't figure out how to get myself around the corner to go up the stairs. You know the area after you get past the red barrier...
