Valve's First Attempts at 'Harder' Portal Test Chambers

sorry if the voice over is a little strange at parts here, i havent had much good chances to record clean lines as of late so it was quite difficult to get this pulled together, so i tried my best!!

Thanks for the captions, it was hard to understand you and not enough youtubers think to include them. Subscribed.

[@GagePurple]

I love your content but yeah I agree with the other comment, do you think maybe you could try to speak a little slower? That might help with understanding every word a bit better. Thank you for bringing us this information and producing these videos though! They are really neat, and the fast speaking is the only thing I have difficulty with. But pls dont let this make you feel bad, your voice sounds good and the things you have to say are very interesting! Thank you and have a great week :)

[@gionjiibrahim9774]

What is that version of Portal

[@bluetoad07]

@@gionjiibrahim9774 Yeah my question too. How are the menus so smooth?

[@Portal2Player]

The funny thing with test chamber 14 advanced, is that even though they switched the floors to metal, if you're good enough with airstrafing, you can still cheese the chamber and make onto the platform.

[@insertnamehere2062]

Oh wait, I’ve seen you on moddb! Hi!

[@Portal2Player]

@@insertnamehere2062 yeah, I comment there sometimes

[@chrm68]

oh hi! i followed your custom portalgun tutorial, Thanks for that!

[@The-Scandium]

is there airstrafing? if you place a portal above the exit of the elevator room (room before actual chamber) and one to the left of lift facing to the stairs with its down side, then just jump and place portal under yourself, thats it! you skiped unskipable chamber 14 advanced!

[@misharatkevich9808]

> manhacks Portal Prelude was so prescient it even managed to copy a design mistake from the beta that no one knew about at the time! :P

[@Szuszkan]

Thank god you mentioned it!

[@DefinitelyGabe]

Prelude's manhacks even have voicelines! although I'm not sure if the model is much different

[@sulphurous2656]

The manhacks in Prelude were kino, change my mind

[@misharatkevich9808]

@@sulphurous2656 I mean... kind of? There's so many of them that it gets annoying in terms of gameplay, but I'll admit the final rush is Prelude's best part, and the manhacks do add to it's "OH SHIT" nature. I just think they went a tad overboard. :P

[@wolfcl0ck]

Very nice! To anyone who might be wondering how I sourced the eras for each chamber, I looked at the ant lines. See, Leipzig era used thin orange lines, whereas x06 era used circular antlines. On the ends of each antline, there is usually a "corner" decal, which is denoted in later eras by a little aperture logo. However, since these replaced the earlier orange lines, if you replace your own antlines with said orange lines, you'll notice very quickly that the end bits will be improperly placed corners. When Ossy asked me to check these, I noticed that some chambers had small orange brushes at the ends of their antlines instead of corner decals, denoting that the chambers were originally from an era *before* circular antlines were added, meaning that they had to have come from leipzig era. The two that I was unable to source the eras from came as a result of them not having any antlines with ending bits that could be discerned.

[@mrtrashyman9617]

Valve employee: how else will we make these test chambers harder? Valve: Manhacks

[@TheBreakingBenny]

In the mod called Portal Prelude, Manhacks have custom sounds and textures to make them Aperture Science-themed.

[@Skyrionn]

Great information and great editing. Manhacks in the chambers would have been frustrating.

[@ethanlivemere1162]

Can you imagine manhacks in Portal? That would be horrible! What's next, barnacles and antlions too, and rocket turrets literally everywhere?

[@tuamatrem8304]

i wouldn't say horrible... if anything, that would be epic

[@ScottieTheFox]

i feel validated as a portal freak for freaking out about the green pellet, thank you ossy you fill a portal-themed youtube void for me and i love your videos

[@JoBot__]

Me too. ^-^

[@AmeHart]

God I've been really loving this stuff lately. Thanks for another fantastic video !

[@bloodstrikeowo2647]

I think the aperture version of a manhack would just be a miniture cylindrical disk that could hover and float around, and electrify the player if it gets too close. And they would be called the ‘Shock-Drone’ or the ‘Aperture Science Hovering Electricution Drone’

[@TheCoolEevee]

Portal Prelude PTSD with them manhacks.

[@SpiritedSpy]

5:38 fwiw, there is a re-texture of the manhack to be aperture science themed in the mod portal prelude.

[@blackefeltsch7459]

The 2006 portals look so much cooler and I like the darker lighting of the levels more.

[@nopenope953]

[@poppymuffinseed]

Portal Advanced Chambers that are the same as final, but they all have the 3 manhacks from that one early Advanced Chamber just being unleashed from the elevator along with you

[@Lunarcreeper]

the minute i saw manhacks i had epic edition flashbacks

[@WonderlandWarGaming]

5:51 I don't think that's an advanced chamber thing, the prospekt era had the exit door right there as well so the "hard" version just used an earlier version of testchmb_a_14, just like most of the others.

[@SK-by6qd]

Speaking of older versions of harder versions of Portal 1 chambers, did any of the Portal Epic Edition CBT maps go through any major design overhauls before release?

[@zer5128]

just finished those chambers. Thanks for a great video!

[@KimFareseed]

The chamber 19 obsticle pellet is green? Always saw it as yellow. Can't unsee it now.

[@ODEF.]

In beta advanced 16, you can actually kill some turrets because the cage doesn't have its own floor

[@Thisisthegreatestatofalltime]

It’s super easy to softlock the first one by just dropping the cube into the water

[@NoahGooder]

I honestly want to see a merging of hl2 and portal (yes at the source code level) mostly to be able to use the portal gun freely

Don't take this the wrong way, but you really need to open your mouth more and enunciate your words. It sounds like you have food in your mouth. It's very distracting, and it's a shame because your content is otherwise very good. I just wish I didn't have to enable english subtitles. Just some constructive criticism, not trying to insult you or anything but I legitimately cannot understand you. I can't help but think you would be more successful here on KZbin if you spoke more clearly.

my speech impediment makes it difficult (alongside me not having some good amount of time to record some clean lines for this video) and it’s something im trying to work on but its so engrained into my subconscious that its difficult to manage 😓

​@@OssyFlawol I also had a minor speech impediment when I was younger where I could not pronounce Rs at all but I was lucky enough to receive speech training in elementary school. It is possible to improve, however it's probably much more difficult in your situation now that you're older and more used to speaking a certain way - but I believe in you and wish you the best of luck!
