Description

bluecell_puzzle28 was a small, hard map, with puzzles and lots of opportunities to use the barnacle grapple. That was about it.
In reality it was not that hard. Now the community has recovered, fixed and merged the other bluecell maps together to create a longer and more blue dabadee experience. Now with more puzzles, more insanity and more blue.

Additional info

This is a merged version of the bluecell series. Maps included:

• bluecell_puzzle28: The one we all know and don't love
• bluecellv11: Bluecell 2, the sequel. Help Tor and Ort the brush cubes in fighting the Arnolds
• bluecell2: Bluecell 2 again but different, an alternate version with different paths. Help them again after you destroyed the dimension and regenerated
• bluecell2beta1: Nothing like bluecell at all, just a headcrab hunt in Xen
• cryoberry_beta6: More puzzles in a blue xenian styled map and prequel to powerups
• powerups: A race to gather all the powerups and open the end map room where you push a button to end the map

Known bugs

• During the cryoberry map, after the satchel scientist puzzle, the underwater rockets puzzle was impossible to do because currently there is a game bug that stops the laser guide from working after 2 seconds. The puzzle will be restored when the bug is fixed. In the meantime the puzzle is disabled and replaced by a mini horde defense against murderous cryo scientists.

Changelog

Community merge:

+ bluecell_r  v3 - March 25, 2025 (by Garompa)

To fix any potential crashes in this map the following was done:

• Re-radded the maps again since some lighting was wrong in some places
• Touched up some triggers that might have been creating crashes (i'm just winging it now, no idea how some people are crashing)
• Fixed some squadmakers not being triggered creating a softlock during bluecell2
• Removed nsfw textures that the re-merge still had
• pray to god people stop crashing otherwise this will mean I have to remerge everything again in 2 maps instead of 1

+ bluecell_r  v2 - March 24, 2025 (by Garompa)

To fix any potential crashes in this map the following was done:

• Re-merged the maps using newbspguy instead of bspguy
• Fixed some bugs with counters during bluecellv11, triggering the map ending too soon
• Fixed the powerups music buttons
• Added monsterclips for the laser headcrabs so they don't jump outside that room
• Duplicated and fixed origins of the cryoberry water brushes so they are now visible

+ bluecell_r  v1b - March 23, 2025 (by Garompa)

To fix any potential crashes from this map the following was done:

• During the first collectible race, the end portal triggers were fixed to not trigger each other, even if there was a big delay between them
• The midi files have been replaced with converted .ogg versions in case .mid crashes the game (not trusting that)
• Buttons during the final race have been moved so players can read the sign, push the buttons and the weapons have been moved as well away from them

+ bluecell_r  v1 - March 22, 2025 (by Garompa)

• Thanks to nova and JPolito we have recovered, fixed and merged the following maps from the bluecell series: bluecell_puzzle28 (the only one that existed here before this), bluecellv11, bluecell2, bluecell2beta1, cryoberry_beta6, powerupsv1
• Starts and endings of maps were connected
• Removed embedded textures and put them into bluecell_r.wad
• Censored the NSFW textures and brush modelled dicks hanging around to make this map be server friendly
• Fixed tons of bugs, things that didn't work at all and enhanced other things. Also added a couple more enemies and a couple of different weapons and items to make things easier
• Turned .mod .xm and other video and audio files into .ogg reducing several mb of space and helping fast downloads
• lowercased all files and references in the .ent
• Regenerated .res files and packed into a .zip

Community edit:

+ Shinkichi's edit - February 7, 2016 (by Shinkichi)

• Fixed spawnpoint not working
• Made it so that it ends after entering the last portal (because there is no entity brush, it is cheated with item)

Original:

+ February 8, 2016 (by Incognico)

• Added a ripent .bsp with spawn points and a proper game_end. This is only the .bsp, you need to download the original .zip too and just replace the .bsp with the fixed version.

game crashed, around the time when there was collectible racing

I never crashed myself. Weird. So I have gone and changed a couple of things that might have crashed it potentially. I'm suspicious of the midi files so they are gone now. No weird audio files anymore. And fixed a trigger to not trigger a loop, although the loop was not supposed to happen because the trigger just removes on fire but oh well.

the problem of crash is not solved!
maybe this is the way:
bluecell_puzzle28, bluecellv11, bluecell2===merged to bluecell_r1
bluecell2beta1, cryoberry_beta6, powerupsv1===merged to bluecell_r2

Garompa 24 Mar 2025 21:38

Are you sure, myself and others had no issues with any sort of crashing at all. I have remerged the maps and also fixed origins on a func_water that made it invisible before. Please try now and do replace files just in case, maybe the crashing is because of an old keen .mdl that is corrupted

EDIT: for anyone reading, so far it seems the crash was created by clientside plugins, so this map has no issues

Thanks Nico. Just played this map, breifly, on the Argentina server and none of us could spawn!

Wow, you guys actually removed legacy support for maps that only have a info_player_deathmatch?

A very intresting Puzzle map diffrent from most (layout and texture usage). The puzzles are original & simple, that most players can work them out in a few trys.
Would be nice to see it finished.
