The fourth dimension and rebirth are the best maps ever created for Talos and there are some pretty amazing works out there. So please don't listen to Dadel. They are challenging, yes, but that's good. It's an amazing experience for anyone who enjoy puzzles that actually require some thinking as opposed to the "find the stupid hidden switch" trend on the latest maps.

First part is ok, second is stupidly hard. Don't bother with it. Without video unsolvable. With video not funny, just boring work.

7GB download o.o ...I'm using Artix Linux btw

Right-click on the game in your library and choose Properties. Select the Betas tab and choose the legacy version fitting your os. That should work.
VelvetBlueEyes Jun 17, 2023 @ 1:14pm 
i'm using steam version. I don't know how to use legacy.
Innocentive  [author] Jun 17, 2023 @ 12:24pm 
Not sure what to do but did you read my last comment from 6 Sep. 2022? Hope that helps.
VelvetBlueEyes Jun 17, 2023 @ 10:53am 
I am subscribed, but this doesn't show in game or moddable version. Is there a trick to using this? I feel dumb. :(
Innocentive  [author] Sep 6, 2022 @ 10:54am 
The TTP engine was updated a couple of years ago and there is no support for older maps.

You can either switch to the legacy version of TTP or try the version of my map offered on this site: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1737286552&searchtext=

I`d like to play this game, but there is no it on my list, although I`ve signed?
Innocentive  [author] Mar 30, 2022 @ 11:12pm 
Thanks, eyedunno11! Six years and counting ... that's time for you :)

My first playthrough was in June of 2020, but I replayed this this week, and didn't remember much--I certainly didn't remember any solutions, though I remembered a few mechanics, like the fan+platform mechanic used in a couple puzzles. Anyway, these puzzles are top-notch. I especially like Eclipse and 1...2...3, but they all range from good to great. Some of the stars are brutal though especially one that's too parkour-reliant and reset-prone for my tastes, and the purpose of the stars is far too well-hidden, though the Portal 2 -themed bonus puzzle they unlock is pretty cool . Then again, I was not a big fan of the stars in the base game either (though Gehenna did them better).

Well, let's keep our fingers crossed :)
Grentouce Aug 24, 2021 @ 5:52am 
there is some news article last year about some dev of croteam saying ttp2 is 'definitely' happening. As of now no new news on that. only hope left ;)
Innocentive  [author] Aug 23, 2021 @ 10:19pm 
Oh yeah, very much looking forward to the sequel. But when is it gonna drop?
Grentouce Aug 23, 2021 @ 9:45pm 
Absolutely enjoyed this map. Thanks for the fourth dimension. Looking forward to see you in TTP2 ;) Have a good day! :qr:

Okay, I downloaded the GRO file from your dropbox, and added it to content/Talos dir. and now it shows up under play. I'll check it out soon and get back to you. Thanks!

Tell me how it went...
Incredible Beast man Oct 24, 2020 @ 12:15pm 
Hi! I can't figure out how to play your map. I go to extras, click on workshop packages, and I can't launch your map. Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Innocentive  [author] Oct 15, 2019 @ 9:13am 
Good to read that!

Currently I'm not planning on any more mapping for TTP. But maybe when TTP2 is released...
SoundingBites Oct 15, 2019 @ 9:05am 
Sorry for bothering you (again) Up and down is done. I now understand the extra hindering gate on the wall. But when I first tried the 'box in the back' solution i coulden't get it right. Almost done now. Are you going to make a new map? Because you do it very well :steamhappy:
SoundingBites Oct 15, 2019 @ 7:47am 
Thx four your quick respond. But the problem is not that i don't know how to solve it, but that the only solution doesn't work because of the spiky gate on top of the left wall in 'up and down' that wasn't in LB's nor the official video (i checked)
Innocentive  [author] Oct 15, 2019 @ 6:36am 
I do not remember LB‘s solution but it may well be that he found an unintended way that I prevented. So i would not say that I made it harder I simply tried to enforce the intended solution ;)

You can always peek at the solution video above which is „official“.
SoundingBites Oct 15, 2019 @ 6:05am 
Aha... now i made it to 'Up and down' But... I can't connect long enough to open te gate. When i watched LB's solution I saw that he doesn't have the gate on top of the left wall. Am i missing an update? or did you decide to make it even harder? :steammocking:
Innocentive  [author] Oct 13, 2019 @ 8:42am 
Happy to hear that you managed and thanks for the comment :)
SoundingBites Oct 13, 2019 @ 8:07am 
Oh and thanks for the really great mod. But I guess you know that by now. :steammocking:
SoundingBites Oct 13, 2019 @ 8:06am 
Dear Innocentive. I finally did it. I don't know why, but i did what i did in the first place (standing in front of the first closed! energyscreen) . But i got convinced that was wrong because somehow the screen was open when i tried to land on the platform. Anyway when i saw LB doing the same thing in his video walkthrough, i tried it again and now it worked. :steamhappy:
SoundingBites Oct 13, 2019 @ 7:38am 
Dear Innocentive, my problem has to be a bug of some kind, because i land in myself (clone) so even if i land on the platform (yes i have it over my head) i am not on the platform. What's wrong?
SoundingBites Oct 13, 2019 @ 7:15am 
Hi, thx for this great mod. However, I am stuck in Eclipse because no matter what I try, i keep landing on the wrong spot of my clone. Whenever I try to stand on exactly the same spot as i landed before i just land somewhere else . Can you help?
Innocentive  [author] Oct 13, 2019 @ 4:51am 
Haha ... no problemo! Thanks for commenting :)
自鳴琴 Oct 13, 2019 @ 2:07am 
Ahhh, i just forgot about the cube:) Sorry about that. That is, it turns out that you campaign is perfect with no vulnerability.
Innocentive  [author] Oct 12, 2019 @ 10:56pm 
Did you actually do that? Because I do not know how to do what you are describing without a hexaedron, which you only get after having all the sigils you claim you can get. Also, it is intended to be able to leave the last two puzzles for various reasons as you may already have noticed.

And nice alternative solution for 1...2...3. Did not know that existed but indeed legit! Thanks!!!
自鳴琴 Oct 12, 2019 @ 2:16pm 
Thank you for such a great campaign! It's very qualitative and challenging. The only one minus that i noticed is the world2 method to take stars. The player, that start from "Up & Down", can easely take the "Enemy mine" sigil and, with some jump ability, "Eclipse" sigil. And the player, that start from "Neverending story", can reach the "1...2...3" and "Angular Delay" sigils. May be it will be a good idea to add some fences to this border-walls labyrinth:)

Also, i recorded the alternative legit solution in "1...2...3" puzzle: https://youtu.be/pt1DbfBi9Pc
Innocentive  [author] Oct 9, 2019 @ 4:35am 
Unfortunately, I cannot make total sense of what you are mentioning. Suffice it to say that there is no decimal format involved in the solution. The numbers above the lamps indicate binary digits, i.e. bits of binary A42. And yes, I know that this puzzle is pretty far out there... ;)
susel_usel Oct 9, 2019 @ 4:30am 
Third year I try to undestand serpent puzzle. It's impossible for me. If A42 is in hex system, the answer in binary system will be 101001000010. But 4 numbers from the answer gives 1011, 1001, 110 and 1 if they are written in decimal system and 10001, 1001, 110, and 1 if they are written in decimal system. What's the relations between these numbers?!

Thanks!

Great map. :B1:
Innocentive  [author] May 13, 2019 @ 8:57pm 
... and thanks to you, too, conanek ... :)
Conanek May 13, 2019 @ 1:32pm 
I believe inn0centive that although you warn that it is difficult to take advantage of the disturbed mind of these people of Croteam to bring afloat your mentally twisted disease, knowing full well that without your guidance this is impossible to be solved and you know it, but that We are going to do, the people border and with bad ideas exist everywhere and your one of them.
joridiculous Mar 27, 2019 @ 11:04am 
well, i got completely 100% stuck on the second (or third) puzzle.. This will be "fun" :lunar2019laughingpig:
Love the levels though. Gorgeous! :theta:
Innocentive  [author] Feb 28, 2019 @ 1:30am 
Good to hear you made it to the night and, yeah, night time puzzles will hopefully give you some pause ;)
quat Feb 28, 2019 @ 12:45am 
Ah, figured the ladder in 1...2...3 meant you knew about it :P

Which is also an awesome puzzle, btw, and so far it's the only night puzzle I've been able to actually do lol
Innocentive  [author] Feb 28, 2019 @ 12:23am 
Hah! No, didn't realize that but you are right. I didn't see the possibility to put the connector on the plate so that the recording can readjust the jammer. Good find!
quat Feb 27, 2019 @ 11:40pm 
I'm sure you already know this and by now the map is kind of old anyways, but 2 + 2 can be solved with mostly only the jammer. A recording device and a jammer can pass through three forcefields, that's the 3rd puzzle in the Tower in the real game. :P

Enjoying it so far, though! Self-Starvation is especially really cool.
Cube Dec 21, 2018 @ 12:11pm 
Incredible. Absolutely blown away.
Innocentive  [author] Nov 5, 2018 @ 9:22am 
@Voss: I thought I had already replied to your comment but it seems I haven‘t. Thanks for your review and I‘m glad you found some interest in recording and beam interruption :)

@xlife: Nice tune and very good lyrics. Thanks for playing and letting me know!
x1ife Nov 5, 2018 @ 7:44am 
Angular Delay reminds me of this song https://open.spotify.com/track/2LWMF10STZqYY9a3YqBiOG?si=gu97fwZmSea7I2Aqo8edkQ by Arcade Fire. I spent a long time on that one :steamhappy: Excellent mod, very hard!
Voss Oct 17, 2018 @ 12:58pm 
I'm absolutely blown away by the quality of this mod. These are some of the best puzzles I've had the pleasure of unraveling, and some of the innovations you've made (such as the serpent torch turning and piecemeal star) have elevated it above even the base game.

The level design is top notch, too - the waterfall is breathtaking. Haven't had any FPS drops, unlike in many other mods. I'm glad you included the day puzzles, as I think they do a good job of introducing the solving concepts you'll need to master to take on the other half.

I'm still working on the night puzzles (I love the ambiance of the Egyptian night, too, glad to see you used it in this mod), and while they are intimidating, I feel optimistic.

In summary: I didn't think it was possible, but you've actually made me enjoy recorder and beam interruption puzzles. Wow. 11/10.
Innocentive  [author] Aug 30, 2018 @ 12:53pm 
Much appreciated! I think you may be the first one commenting on the style of the bonus area. Thanks for that ... and I assume you also found that little Portal orchestra?
