The puzzles range in difficulty and some will test your minecraft knowledge. Are you ready to begin day two of this life of puzzles?
THE PORTAL BRANCH: - Based on the game series Portal - Shoot a bow to teleport around - Puzzles test your ability to see what is happening around you THE RIDDLE BRANCH: - Each room has two riddles - The answer is always a minecraft object - Puzzles test your creative knowledge of the game THE LOGIC BRANCH: - A mix of slightly different puzzles -Puzzles test your creative thinking skills and memory THE REDSTONE BRANCH: - Challenge uses of redstone - (feel free to use the wiki for help) - Puzzles test your knowledge of redstone

You don't need to play the first map, but if you want to, just click the link:
Rules:1: Play on peaceful and adventure mode.
2: Do not break any blocks. (you will place some)
3: Do not try to cheat the map in any way.
4: Have fun or else.
Multiplayer:This map can be played with more than one person, but please play as though you only had one. Some puzzles work because you can't be in two places at once. Do not try to cheat the map in this way.
This is version 1.3 of the map, but if you see any problems with it post back on the forums and it will be corrected. Users are the ones that make the map better.
Enjoyed the Riddle branch. The Logic branch was ok until the last one. I'm not sure I completed it properly, but if I did it just seemed repetitive, though I'm sure I didn't, but I didn't see any other way of getting out.
The Redstone one I've been stuck on the first puzzle for 2 hours and still can't figure it out past like 5 moves. I don't know a lot about redstone and not sure I want to read the wiki to understand piston mechanics. Will keep plugging away at it though.
The portal one I'm sure I broke somehow. The room with the timed doors was a little annoying...not sure if it was lag on my PC or what, but the first three or four attempts I could never get to the last one in time, partly because I'm not that skilled with a bow to snap to a target that quickly. After that, the portals stopped working. I got to the next puzzle with the colours on the floor and likewise the portal didn't work when I hit it. Reloaded MC and still have the same problem.
I enjoyed the first map, so really want to enjoy this one. Let me know if I'm doing something wrong and need to keep at it or if there is an actual problem.

First off, the piston thing. To get farther you need to know a little about block update detectors. Basically, if a piston is getting powered indirectly (like through a diagonal block) then something next to it needs to move for it to power.
With the portal thing, I don't think it's really broken.
The portals in that room only work at certain times. Think about what's going on on the floor. That will help.
Loaded it up today to have another go, but having some issues. I am in 1.7.4.
I screwed up a previous save, so started from scratch and did Riddles and Logic. No problem. Am now in Portal and verified I'm in Adventure/Peaceful, but when I fire the arrow into the blue square on the tutorial screen, nothing happens. (I am standing on the pressure plate.)

I tested the portals through use with around one hundred shots each and they can't be broken unless you shoot it while in creative mode, or if you shoot it a few times in one second. I doubt you did this so I have no clue what happened.
I would suggest that you just cheat past the room because if it is broken it can't be fixed without resetting the redstone. If you want to reload the map (which I doubt, but if you do), you can give yourself 5 xp levels for each branch you skip and the map will think you did them, and it will open the end thing when you finish.
Sorry about all the problems you've been having. Everything worked fine in testing, and I really don't know what could be wrong
Portal room was a little bugged out for me, but got through. Am starting to post the episodes, even though I have yet to complete my nemesis...the Redstone section. Hard to make puzzle maps entertaining, however I'm happy to make a fool of myself for the youtubes!

[quote]Quote from Sibra_zr» I am playing Portal branch But I don't have a bow How can I shoot the wool?? I am in 1.7.2 Is there any problem?
The portal branch runs on entity data so if your not in 1.8 it wont work even if you have a bow, but to get a bow just walk over those pressure plates at the door to the first room and one should pop out of the wall. I've never seen it not work the first time. It is just a dispenser, so there's not much that can go wrong.

Episode 1:
LINK
Edit: I fixed the main post, so it now includes this link.
This includes some minor gameplay changes as well as some beautification and the complete bug fix for the portal branch!
Go ahead, check it out.
The portal branch runs on entity data so if your not in 1.8 it wont work even if you have a bow, but to get a bow just walk over those pressure plates at the door to the first room and one should pop out of the wall. I've never seen it not work the first time. It is just a dispenser, so there's not much that can go wrong.
And yes I probably should just make a change log rather than commenting, but that's a problem for another day.
