Something I've Been Sitting On For A While...

Anyone remember Lightning? Our favorite H2CE and Metroid Online skinner dude who started working on like 5 badass maps and has yet to release one despite the beta testing that was done?
The guy who almost got me to tie a DDR cabinet to the top of my car to drive it to him two states over?
Well, truth be told, one of the maps not going gold is my fault. I had tested Floodlab, and since I'm the nub with the horrible PC, I had complaints about how the level ran. Lights was having issues portalling the level correctly, meaning that the whole damn level was rendering at any given time. I thought I had a grasp on how to portal stuff, so I offered to do it for him. He let me do it.

This was about a year ago.

I started on it, and I can see why he just kinda gave up on it. I was trying for too long to try and figure out why it would pick two or so portals at random and tell me that they didn't define two sealed areas, and it drove me nuts. Plus, it turns out I never actually remembered how to portal correctly; I read the stock tutorial wrong and had been implementing them the wrong way.

Tonight, I finally got it set. The level culls beautifully and, with no objects on the map whatsoever, runs smoothly on my machine. Now I'm waiting for him to fix up any bad textures and put finishing touches on level geometry.

Soon, people, Lightning will release a map. :eek:
