Map 05 (UV-Max in 4:43.49)

No youtube link for this one sadly (The video for this demo was disguised as rush map 12 for a poorly put together april fools joke).

Okay, so I hope this is okay... I used an older GZDoom version (4.8.2), forgot to set compatibility level (think it's 2) and used two additional .pk3 files (SmoothDoom and pistolstart). Am *not* trying to compete obviously.

 

But I did Scythe MAP30 UV-max. And man, it felt good to accomplish irrespective of all my technical heresy.

Congrats on the achievement. :) All speed demos are welcome to be posted to this subforum regardless of the port/settings. That said, GZDoom doesn't have DSDA/pr+ like compatibility levels, so complevel 2 is meaningless, though it does have Doom (Strict) mode which emulates some original game aspects (far from demo compatible with vanilla, though). I don't really know what compatmode 2 is in GZDoom terms, you'd have to check your menu to see what setting you used, or I'm sure the mapping is available somewhere.

 

In any case, using GZDoom automatically makes your demo incompatible, so it would only be placed into the Other category, and you should not use any other mods for DSDA eligibility, so if you want your demo placed on the archive, at least you should avoid using other mods, and I recommend swapping to the appropriate compatible port for the demo not to be placed in the Other category; DSDA-Doom works for anything vanilla compat through MBF21, which includes Scythe since Scythe is cl2.

 

That said, you don't have to submit only DSDA eligible/valid demos here, you're welcome to submit anything. :)

I did not get notifications about this. My apologies.

 

Yeah, I figured; it's just generally how I like to play, and I'm not sure if there's any other somewhat centralized location for uploading demos. I might just try to get to terms with dsda-doom or prboom+ then instead, since SmoothDoom is one of the main reason I've run GZDoom for so long. (The other one never being satisfied with how the mouse feels). :')

 

Anyhow, thanks for the grats and thanks for the info! :)
