good glitch demo.
I have had the funel glitch happen, unintentualy, while testing 1 of my maps.
I did not know the faithplates effect during this scenario.
but I placed portable areas in line with the player, where the glitch might happen.
as going through portals, also restores gravity. (sometimes 1st time or repeat.)
this map was fun & educational :)
I have a map with a glitch, you might not have seen ?
it's noisey, but I tried to limit the noise, by turning some things off, when used.

I see, thanks for the explanation. Tried it now and saw that you are right.
Geneosis  [author] 9 May, 2013 @ 3:25am 
The idea in the 2 ceiling grids is that the faith plate trajectory will be affected by portals if you open them under the grids, the trajectory will be slightly modified to try to enter the portal (even if it's impossible) so that you will be able to reach the top platform when your portals are open and not able to do that when there is no portals ^^
Will see the demo and add those maps ;)

(2/2) Comment: Locking the player in the nondescript first room without any way to see what else there is ahead, until they figure out the glitch, is very unwelcoming and does not give a good first impression. I was about to quit and thumbs-down this map until I saw the screenshot tip.
I made a demo file from my blind playthrough. It is 46 minutes long. 24 minutes of it are spent in the first room, 6 minutes in the second room and 16 minutes in the others combined. You can find it here: http://bisqwit.iki.fi/kala/findtheglitchagain_blind_by_bisqwit.zip
If you'd like, here are two chambers of mine that require glitches to complete: http://cs2bus.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=143828949 "Magician's Boxes" and http://cs2bus.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=139098266 "Broken Device".

Solved it! I needed to look up the screenshots for the first two parts, but not longer. The first one was new to me. After the second one (the frankencube) I felt kind of stupid for not realizing it on my own. Hmm. The one room with a faith plate in the floor and two grid-portal-surfaces in the ceiling... I didn't get the point of that room. Did they fix that bug? I know you can move objects through grids when the grid is positioned in front of a portal like that , but to my knowledge, the player cannot, and no such glitch happened there either. (1/2)

Well the 10s rule is to be sure that it will work ^^ Sometimes only 5 seconds are enough, and sometimes it just wont work for some reason (for exeple if you jumped before entering the funnel, it wont work)...
MeatBag 9 Nov, 2012 @ 3:30am 
Third room was new for me.
10 seconds rule for beam is the key for success?
Geneosis  [author] 5 Nov, 2012 @ 8:09am 
Euh ouais je n'ai fais que 2 salles de démo de glitch pour le moment ^^ Et comme j'ai précisé dans la description de la collection : Je l'ai nommée "impossible" au sens ou on ne peut pas résoudre les tests avec les moyens habituels ;)
Geneosis  [author] 26 Oct, 2012 @ 1:13pm 
@Cuttlefish, Wot! [Cᵯ℗Lӽ] : That was one of the possible solutions ^^
Mr.Johno 25 Sep, 2012 @ 7:42pm 
ah ok. Stupid bugs.I'll keep looking
Geneosis  [author] 25 Sep, 2012 @ 8:20am 
Hem tell me if it wont appear after you restarted the game, maybe this is again the "invisible maps" bug...
Mr.Johno 24 Sep, 2012 @ 6:45pm 
yeah did that. it didn't come up. might hhave too long a list
Geneosis  [author] 24 Sep, 2012 @ 8:10am 
lol, just unsubscribe and resubscribe : it will be the last map ^^
Mr.Johno 23 Sep, 2012 @ 6:37pm 
yeah, but i am already subscribed to it from long ago. its in my list of about 100-150 maps.
Geneosis  [author] 23 Sep, 2012 @ 2:07pm 
Hem, I said there is a direct link called "first map" to find it in the description of this map XD
Mr.Johno 23 Sep, 2012 @ 5:52am 
no problem, now i just have to find the other map in the list... lol
Geneosis  [author] 23 Sep, 2012 @ 3:51am 
Ok, thanks for this one ^^
Mr.Johno 22 Sep, 2012 @ 6:41pm 
yeah, i will do both
Geneosis  [author] 22 Sep, 2012 @ 8:54am 
@Mr.Johno : Yeah the glitch in this room is that when you placed portals, your trajectory will be modified to "enter the portal", so you should be able to reach the platform by air strafing ^^
Oh, and if you really want to record a video of this map, could you do it for the first map I made about glitches before? ^^ (link in description)
Mr.Johno 21 Sep, 2012 @ 5:47pm 
Well Done! I plan to make a video of this one, but i just need to confirm how i do the faithplate and two grated while panels one.

just portal both grates and then mash keys to get onto the glass on the other side? I wondered if i actually got the glitch
UnableRogue 2 Sep, 2012 @ 6:09pm 
I only had trouble with the first one. I had seen a couple of those gl-glitches before. The bouncy gel fith plate was in a friends map Carol (You and everyone who reads this should totally check out her awesome maps http://cs2bus.com/profiles/76561198040914141/myworkshopfiles/[/url]) Next map you make with gl-glitches should ne called "Son of a Glitch" x ) Next map you make with gl-glitches should ne called "Son of a Glitch" xD
Geneosis  [author] 21 Aug, 2012 @ 2:14pm 
Thanks ^^

@Rammstein!<3 : Added your map to the list ;)
StayTainted™ 21 Aug, 2012 @ 2:01pm 
very nice map AGAIN :p

try mine ?:p http://cs2bus.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=90861646

I agree it was Fantastic. Everything in this map was new to me and I have to admit I read some comments in order to finish. The flying from tractors and that cantankerous blue gel was something else. I did remember the walking frankecubes. Two thumbs up.
Geneosis  [author] 9 Aug, 2012 @ 2:45pm 
Glad you liked it ^^
Čolibri 9 Aug, 2012 @ 2:34pm 
Fantastic!
All new for me except the funnel fly bug.
"Ex luna, scientia"
Geneosis  [author] 28 Jul, 2012 @ 3:36am 
Well this is the exact method I used X) The screenshot I was able to take with 2 receptor activated was just after moving quickly between the 2 receptors ^^"
ChuchoTheCatLord 27 Jul, 2012 @ 6:38pm 
but i never got the laser to hit both receptors ... i grabed the cube stood in front of door and started moving the cube from side to side .. cause there's some delay between deactivation and activation so .. sometimes it gets both working for like 2ms or 3ms ... but if you keep repeating .. eventually door opens .. and i was pushing my back against the door .. so when it opened .. o got inside and finished. Is there another way?
Geneosis  [author] 27 Jul, 2012 @ 6:00pm 
Well you could find the first map Find the Glitch I made in the description ;)
And... About the funnel glitch, I will add the method in description too because it's really hard to get it without any explanation X)
ChuchoTheCatLord 27 Jul, 2012 @ 4:35pm 
GOD ... that laser thing is a pain in the a*s ... and the funnel thing .. i had to check on your comments cause i really had no idea :P .. GREAT MAP .. liked it a lot!!
gecko (nl) 24 Jul, 2012 @ 2:16am 
1 problem in every level im stuck in h ground cant escape
gecko (nl) 21 Jul, 2012 @ 2:51am 
i know a other glitch you can find it here

Geneosis  [author] 18 Jul, 2012 @ 9:22am 
@Timoteeei : Well your slow jump glich is some kind of alternate version of the funnel fly glitch : you funnel fly for a moment then you jump during the funnel fly so you go upper and slower ;)
If you want another explaination : Enter the funnel and don't move during 10s, crouch and don't move during 10s, then stay crouched and move slowly out of the funnel ^^

@jamie.sunderland : If you talk about the blue franken cube jump, yep, I used it as a glitch here as I said before ;)
N-Sunderland 18 Jul, 2012 @ 7:23am 
You used my franken cube idea :D
Timoteeei 16 Jul, 2012 @ 3:41pm 
A lot of new bugs for me, but I can't beat the funnel's room without noclip even after i read your explanations =(

So why u did not make a glitch with the orange tractor beam and a hight jump what i showed to you before? It easer to realizing and understanding.

And great works,keep it up =)
Geneosis  [author] 11 Jul, 2012 @ 3:53am 
Map updated!
Geneosis  [author] 11 Jul, 2012 @ 3:15am 
Well that was not supposed to happen X) Will fix that soon ;)

And yeah, so bad you can't hide links -_-
Phydur 10 Jul, 2012 @ 4:02pm 
lol spoilers + links = dont work
Phydur 10 Jul, 2012 @ 4:02pm 
http://cs2bus.com/id/Phydur/screenshot/957263205474803329 basicly you do what you do for the double cube thing
Geneosis  [author] 10 Jul, 2012 @ 3:44pm 
Hemmm... You are just supposed to activate the 2 receptors alteratively and fast to open the exit ^^" And I don't see how the cube could get stuck X) Could you take a screenshot?
Phydur 10 Jul, 2012 @ 3:40pm 
...and now i got the lazer cube stuck in the despenser... :/
Phydur 10 Jul, 2012 @ 3:35pm 
not sure what to do for the last puzzle. i got accrost with the lazer cube. but now what?
Geneosis  [author] 10 Jul, 2012 @ 1:32pm 
Well I updated the map to try to make the mechanism more understandable... But that's really hard bacause you can't "force" the gitch to happen... The player need to wait and press crouch key at the correct moment or it will not work ^^"
cyron43 10 Jul, 2012 @ 1:04pm 
Oh and thank you for your help. :-)
cyron43 10 Jul, 2012 @ 1:04pm 
Forget what said about the reversing effect. I must have been somewhat confuzzled as I thought the funnel emitter was at the ceiling, which is not true.
Geneosis  [author] 10 Jul, 2012 @ 12:20pm 
Well... It seems that I failed to make the one with the funnel understandable... It's really hard to unserstand it without any explaination X) The idea is to be attracted by the funnel, wait until you stop mouving, crouch, wait again until you stop any movement, the you if you stay crouched and mouve you will fly :p The vertical position will stay the same ^^

Light bridges are only there to make it easier to stop and exit the funnel ^^"

The fact that light bridges reversed the funnel is totally not expected X)

About the one with faith plates and 2 white surfaces... just place your portals on the surfaces and try to use the faith plate again :p

Will add a dropper for the franken cube... Didn't think it could be destroyed ^^"
cyron43 10 Jul, 2012 @ 10:18am 
And yet another: The one with the faith plate and two portable surfaces.
cyron43 10 Jul, 2012 @ 10:14am 
Oh and how about the one with the 3 parallel light bridges and the funnel? I don't know what to do there.
