All of us are familiar with the worst nightmare a Doom speedrunner has to deal with: the dreaded moment when you are grinding for the next second and see .00 on the intermission screen. Especially inf

Another demo month wrapped up. :) Congrats to @Bdubzzz for top place, with no real competition :^) (2nd place: me, 3rd place: @kmc). Not quite as many demos as last month, but I guess some of the runs

282 attempts and over 6h and i did it :D

Hey, sorry, but this wad is cl2, you should use that for the run instead of cl9. By the way, 1024abc is also cl2 (your nomo doesn't play back with cl2).

In h_phobia MAP33, when exiting the level, how to avoid the message "create patch: unknown patch format CWILV32" after which the demo is probably lost, or maaaaybe, if I wait long enough, it eventually gets recorded... Tried Dsda-doom 0.24.3 and Prboom+ 2.5.1.4 k.

 

Ok found the answer thanks @kraflab

How was I supposed to know? Then delete it, I don't feel like going through this a second time

There are a couple checks you need to make before choosing a complevel on a demo:

  • Textfile on idgames: if it says limit-removing or vanilla, usually that means cl2 (cl3 for Doom 1, cl4 for Final Doom), Boom is cl9, MBF is cl11, MBF21 is cl21.
    • In some older wads, limit-removing, Boom, etc., were kinda used interchangeably with no real standard. In those cases, checking what runners used on DSDA is a good idea, if it's established runners that ran the wad and they explain why they used the cl they did, going with that is fine. In general, any ambiguous cases, you should check with the community either by forum post or in the Discord.
  • Also checking DSDA in general is a good idea; see whether previous runners used a particular cl and following them works, although that's assuming they didn't mess it up, and a lot of older entries have wrong cl runs in the main table because there was less enforcement in the past. As such, the idgames txt or confirming with community are preferred for figuring this out.

Note also that if you ever see cl-1 or cl12 or more on DSDA for any wads (other than cl21), it's almost always just someone who used the wrong cl (there are rare exceptions, though). Most other cls are also not important.
