It's ok. Anyway I can't update the map because I've lost the original vmf file

Fun map, I tryed jumping 3 times then figured there must be a different way and thought of using the light bridge,great solution. I liked it. :) I say leave it alone, It's just part of the fun finding the solution.

Smac [author] Jul 9, 2016 @ 1:04pm

Good idea, I'll update the map. Many people have pointed out to me.

Eledh Jul 9, 2016 @ 12:29pm

The final walkway that you are supposed to use the lightbridge on seems to be confusing a lot of people (including me) because it *looks* like you can just jump through but there's an invisible wall which is bad design of course. Both should be possible, or else change it, I would say.

Use multiple env_fog_controller to make black texture look better, control it with triggers. Also on catwalk destruction instead of player clip use nodraw to make tubes fall realistic

oh, thanks! now I feel dumb..

Smac [author] Jul 7, 2016 @ 3:43pm

use the light bridge you can't jump in the catwalk by using portals

zazaza Jul 7, 2016 @ 12:31pm

Started out interesting, with some unused test elements, but then I can't jump through the portal at the end of the catwalk, tried several times, no matter where I place the portal or if I jump or just walk through, I always fall down. This is just bad :(

Huub900 Jul 5, 2016 @ 4:07pm

Brilliant :)

christian_saw Dec 10, 2015 @ 9:51am

humm... what are you people talking about? Break the glass using the faith plate? Noclipping to some catwalk? Invisible barrier? Fir me it was a normal chamber MAINLY involving a lightbridge! A very cool chamber though!!! For those who can't reach the faith plate, for god's sake, just use your portals!!!!

christian_saw Dec 10, 2015 @ 9:48am

haha very nice!!! i've taken the reflection cube to the end with me and a giant tube killed me hehe

Petutski Jul 27, 2015 @ 2:04pm

Well, got through it, but I am not sure it was worth it! The rules seem to have changed.

dven1 Jul 16, 2015 @ 6:26pm

Heh, I noclipped onto the catwalk for very little additional play!

dven1 Jul 16, 2015 @ 6:22pm

I can't jump through the portal at the end of the catwalk either. I guess I'll have to noclip through there and take it from that point.

bvsmith Mar 21, 2015 @ 12:11pm

Ok, I figured out the first part, now what's with the invisible barrier?

bvsmith Mar 21, 2015 @ 9:13am

How about a hint for the first part? Someone says to use the faithplate to break the glass, but you can't get to it in the first place.

Awesome

how did you make it

Wolf bytes Oct 24, 2013 @ 7:15pm

I feel like this is possilbe, am I supposed to jump onto the cat walk? Something keeps blocking me....

Smac [author] Sep 24, 2013 @ 10:42pm

Thanks for playing :)

Malfaction Sep 24, 2013 @ 2:58pm

I liked it; I was stumped at first then I remembered something ... ;-) Thumbs Up!

Smac [author] Sep 17, 2013 @ 1:12am

Thanks for playing and for suggestions

p0rtalmaster Sep 16, 2013 @ 11:36pm

(Obviously the test isn't impossible, but I hope you get the point.)
Aside from a visual lack, many test creators forget about sound: soundscapes are preferred to music (I recommend Testchamber.vegetation for the main room or any similar-sounding soundscape).

p0rtalmaster Sep 16, 2013 @ 11:33pm

AAGHHHHHH (*#&=^%(@^#!$@^! RAN INTO AN INVISIBLE SURFACE!! Now I'm convinced that this test is impossible!

Gemarakup Sep 4, 2013 @ 6:24am

I see what you're trying to do. The problem is that despite your efforts, you don't seem to pay attention to the texture variation, visual glitches, lighting and fog. It's not something that you can ignore.

wildgoosespeeder Aug 29, 2013 @ 4:54pm

Your map needs a ton of work. Lpfreaky90 would let you know the Hammer-related issues your map has.

Try my map?

wo-wo Aug 8, 2013 @ 5:34pm

Great!

Smac [author] Aug 8, 2013 @ 12:13am

Please send me a screen shot with this problem, I tried the map, I haven't this problem

Yo HuracaN Aug 7, 2013 @ 6:27pm

I have the same problem in the hall way

AsinoEsel Aug 7, 2013 @ 12:19pm

Meh, the map has nice effects and stuff but is not designed really clever.
Why the faith plate? I couldn't find any use for it. Some graphical glitches, you could look out of map at some points and watch the nodraw texture, the lighting was not great and the effects glitched sometimes, too (you could see objects spawn).
At one point in the level (outside the test chamber) there was an invisible wall about the walkway, making it almost impossible get on it. You could not place portals in a room without any reason.
BUT the test chamber looked pretty good and the effects were nice (even though the lighting was a bit poor). The outside part however... Was not good enough :/

dcook Aug 6, 2013 @ 2:53pm

ok.. got it.. Short in the faith plate too.. :-p

Smac [author] Aug 6, 2013 @ 2:27am

is definitely a problem of the game, I do not have this problem, however, you have to make a portal after the walkway and a portal into the light wall of the first chamber test

Ludus_Machinae Aug 6, 2013 @ 1:22am

when the roof chink takes out the rail i can portal but i cant get through theportal likes its an invisable wall

dcook Aug 4, 2013 @ 9:13am

ok.. will try again.. trid a couple times and fath plate didn't send me nearly far enough.. maybe I put on a few pounds in stasis.. lol

Smac [author] Aug 4, 2013 @ 1:52am

when you passed the first test the announcer says: Core corrupted at 75%, after you back at the first chamber, and use the faith plate to break the glass

MonoChaos Aug 4, 2013 @ 1:39am

dcook, I completed this chamber with little problem so I'll tell you, to break the glass you have to use the aerial faith plate

dcook Aug 4, 2013 @ 12:50am

Ummmm Had to noclip to even figure out where I was supposed to go... Once I figured out where you wanted the player to go, still have no idea how to get there. no way to portal thru the glass.. no way to break it..

Good job!
