Same run improved to 11:35

Glad to see another of your great demos!

Radeg: Maybe you can try record some demo after really long long time, maybe a year or so..?:o)

[Donce]

I recorded a poor max in Psycho series: Neurosis, time is 14:35.

Also, a mini-pack in an ancient but OK map Horror. This pack contains demos in all the main categories.

Note that two of them - fast and tyson - desync with PrBoom Plus in the last room, so there must be some map specific issue after all.

EDIT: use Doom2.exe compatibility :)

Actually, these appear to be Doom(2).exe 1.9 demos (i.e. not Ultimate). They desync (in the same way) with Ultimate Doom's Doom.exe, and both Prboom-plus and Chocolate-Doom (when no compatibility level is forced). They play back OK with: Doom2.exe, Doom2+, Prboom-plus with -complevel 2, and Chocolate-Doom with -gameversion 1.9.

Did you perhaps record with Doom2+ renamed to Doom.exe, or something like that?

Oh. I updated the txt in the zipfile. Yeah, all this renaming thing did have some consequencies :) The files were as follows: Boom executable renamed to doom2.exe, Udoom executable - to doomexe.exe, and doom2 executable - to doom2exe.exe. I used the latter, not noticing that it wasn't the Udoom executable (before renaming Boom.exe to Doom2.exe, the executables in both Doom2 and Udoom dirs were doom2.exe, because long time ago, I used Norton Commander's extension description file, which enabled, much like in windows now, to view a demo by pressing enter on it, provided that no pwads were used).

Here's a NM run through Sidus. While the map isn't any good, it promised to be quite a mess in NM, so I decided to try it and see how it'll play. Heh, it took longer to beat than I had expected, and in the demo, there's nearly no chaos seen as in most other tries. I also included one failed attempt where a sargeant respawned right inside me. That's to demonstrate how Boom doesn't check if the respawn spot is blocked or not (there recently was a discussion about that).

Baron Streets (Hellcore 2.0 map02) UV speed, 2:40. An opportunity to practise your straferunning!

[_MethoD_]

Nothing - Just old trick :)

[Kristian Ronge]

Sorry, Jakub, that trick has been discovered...
Check out av03-047.zip in COMPET-N's /incoming by Angus. :-)

[_MethoD_]

Nooooo and i was so happy :)

Damn you Angus :))

[Gusta]

Haha, Method, maybe you should pay more attention to the others' demos.:-))) (well grats for the late discovery:-)

Few levels and a few demos here. All the wads are located in the latest /newstuff.

"Shades of Gray" UV-Max in 1:17. Fun and quick little map.

"Beluga" UV-Max in 7:56. Very fun map to play through and record on.

"Gyrotechnics" UV-Max in 4:09. Very tough map, but certainly doable with the right strategy. Bonus points for using Mega Man X3 music too :P.

Will send to Ops now.

Those really are nice maps. I enjoyed playing them myself.
I sure didn't push like you did. Anima great job on them.

[Dr. Zin]

This is a speed-demo I did, my first ever. Obviously I am pretty incompetent, but it was pretty fun. It's for rurqta.wad.

I can't see the demofile... it appears to be 0 kbytes. Can you email it to me? opulent@cox.net
thanks.

I had downloaded that one OK a few days ago. I've put a copy in the normal place.

[Opulent]

thanks!

Welcome to the wide world of speedrunning! :-D Lesson 1: always look for the shortest way to the exit. In this case, you can teleport right back to the start/exit area after having grabbed the blue key (just run up the hill to the teleporter you came from). This should let you cut your time in half. Good luck! :-)

EDIT: Oh, and don't forget to sign your .txt files so people know, 2 years from now, who made the run!

[Anima Zero]

Been awhile since I've recorded something. I get bogged down by other games on my PC :P.

But anyways, I did a quick demo for Frozen Inferno (Located in /newstuff #297). It's a UV-Max in 3:25. Not too shabby given some of the tricky fights near the end of this map. Under 3:20 could be a possibility here.

I'll send this to Ops right now.

[HennaMan]

I found something I wanted to upload ..but having difficulties getting it uploaded. Is it just me? :)

[Grazza]

If you mean you tried to attach it to your post, that feature has been broken since late 2003.

You can e-mail it to Opulent (or me, though I won't be around for the next week and a half), and we'll upload it to sda/dwdemo and post a link to it.

[VinceDSS]

is it henning posting here ?

Edit : yes it is his email ...

You can ftp it to ftp://competn.doom2.net:8002/incoming/sda/
or email it to me ( mailto:opulent@cox.net ) or Grazza.

I did a UV Speed on esselfortium's Testing Facility in 2:00. Yeah, there are much faster demos out there that take advantage of the nukage pit jump, but he requested that I try a run without it, and it turned out pretty well.

Also, a belated thanks to Anima for maxing my map. :) It was an exciting demo to watch.

sisocran max, 4:10. Recorded last November, hoped to get under 4 minutes, but I don't possess speedrunner's luck. Requires the supplied BEX patch that makes the map exit when the cyberdemon dies*

* The map is Boom-compatible save for its use of ZDoom trickery to pretend to be E2M8. It's an extremely beautiful and highly playable map that begs for a demo, so now someone who is actually good can do it the justice it deserves I hope!

Grazza said:
It features an intercepts overflow, resulting in the "all-ghosts bug". This makes the player unable to press switches or use teleporters, so the only way you can exit a map in this state is if there is a damage/exit sector that you can reach.

In Doom2 it dies with a venetian blinds crash.

[Opulent]

TimeOfDeath said:

Also, if anyone's interested in ZDaemon rocket jumping, here are single map speedruns of each map in Morrison[ABC]'s masterjumps5.wad (designed for normal gravity and no air control): MAP01-05 (map01 in 1:25, map02 in 0:29, map03 in 0:53, map04 in 0:12, and map05 in 1:31).

that sounds interesting. :)

[Kristian Ronge]

I made a UV max run of Grind2 in 2:21. Also recommended is the update to this map, Grind2x, which features a *bit* more action. :-)
