That's what I thought.

Wait a minute. Are those pictures of you jrlauer?

If so then I am pleased to see such a fair lady as yourself enjoying the finer art of portalling

If not then who is it cos shes fit

Maybe, and thank you. I've always loved puzzle games, and Portal is my favorite.

I have been working on PMK 5 - Least Portals Challenge for 4 months now. Not 4 months straight! I just work on it when I am not working on work (shh - don't tell my boss). I really enjoy your maps as I have commented in another post. I don't want the solution... but I am at a point where I would really appreciate a clue to completing the map with only 29 Portals. Here is my progress...

Room 1 - 4 Portals
Room 2 - 4 Portals
Room 3 - 11 Portals
Lower:
Path 1 - 3 Portals
Path 2 - 4 Portals
Path 3 - 5 Portals

31 Portals is the best I can do 'So Far' (I never give up on a puzzle).

PMK... Can you give me a clue to your intended solution of 29 Portals? Which Room / Path am I using too many Portals?

Okay...
It's not higher Room 1, because today I figured out a way to do it in 4 portals.

It's not any of lower paths (actually I knew one part where you can portal bump, but apparently in later Portal updates this isn't present).

So it's either higher Room 2 or 3.

I finally figured it out today. It was actually higher Room 3 And lower Path 3. Here are my final results:

Higher:
Room 1 - 4 Portals
Room 2 - 4 Portals
Room 3 - 10 Portals
Lower:
Path 1 - 3 Portals
Path 2 - 4 Portals
Path 3 - 4 Portals

I was able to save one portal in higher Room 3 by getting to the other side of the room with only 2 portals. It is a hard portal jump that takes a few tries... but I think that is the point.

PMK's Challenges are always extremely difficult and push the limits of what you think is possible.

The final portal was saved in lower Path 3 with another very difficult portal jump that I didn't think was possible.

I really enjoyed this least portal challenge.

PMK is the Master of Portal Mapping!

Cheers dude. I'm really happy that you enjoyed my maps. Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner about the portal challenge. I honestly can't remember how I did 29 portals but I'm glad you managed to figure it out.

Also, I know I said ages ago that I would repackage all 5 maps into one downloadable pack with cake piece updates to maps 1-4. Well I havn't forgotten about it except I've started work on PMK 6 and I'm gonna wait to release the complete PMK pack once the last level is finished.

Hi,

Love the pmk maps!

I can't seem to download pmk5 ?
The link in post 1 takes me back to the forum.

Any advice, other download link or tell me what I'm doing wrong!

thanks in advance.

At the moment, the download database is not working, so you will have to wait a while, then you will be able to download this map. Maybe mazk can tell you if there is another place you can download it.

been away for ages. trying to find a job in this backwards world. anyway I havn't got a different d/l location but i'll get rite on it and post a link here
