Rocket/Plasma/BFG Jumping demos

[dew]

my little contribution to doom's 15 years birthday :)

rjspace9f map01 max in 22:11

zdaemon demo. points completed at 19:52. lots of new jumps and route hacks to compensate my inability to run as fast as timeofdeath :)

[gggmork]

Are any of these zdoom by chance, or I assume all zdaemon?

[TimeOfDeath]

The Green Herring did a GZDoom demo on the first page, but the rest are ZDaemon demos.

By the way, nice stuff dew, you bum. :)
I haven't watched it yet, but I will and am looking forward to seeing your route and tricks.

i tried running rjspace through zdoom, but it behaves too different. the exact feeling was like if, erm, the air was too thick. zdaemon behaves like this with a huge sv_aircontrol variable if you don't count the walking in air effect. in result, the forward momentum is slowed too quick.

the rj standard for air control is 0, though, so either zdaemon uses very different air movement, or i missed some crucial zdoom setting. anyways, i think earthquake designed the wad for zdaemon, so zdoom demos only if the right settings are found :)

What does it mean when it says ERROR: CORRUPTED DEMO FILE: TOO LARGE PACKET ??
I got rjspace down to 15 minutes, but the demo file won't finish playback after like 30 seconds!! I did the start-to-yellow key mega jump, and the superjump to yellow key platform perfectly too! :(

I could have gotten faster, but when I had yellow within 2 minutes, I got too excited and messed up some REALLY basic jumps. like the strafe jump down to plasma. My hands were shaking like mad, and now I understand what you mean by

...but in that moment my mind switched from bored routine to nerve wreck and hand tremble..

:)

My wad, RJwarriors1b, in around 28 minutes.
Demo

I took far too long on the "momentum" jump, and every jump basically took 5 minutes each :P. Especially on the 16k corner climb at the end.

Oh, on another note, my time on rjspace9f is down to an average of 8 minutes per run. Of course, my best time of 7 minutes was the one time I forgot to record a demo...

[dew]

hello, thread. long time no see.

masterjumps9y map04 in 0:08.

using zdaemon 1.09 for the first time. it has some nifty demo playback features, so here: have a youtube video too! (removed obsolete link)

edit: updated the demo link.

[TimeOfDeath]

lols, nice demo, that youtube video was fuckin awesome. It really shows just how cool rjumping is from a spectator's perspective.

edit: btw, how do you make those videos?

[dew]

1.09 naturally adds spectator mode to demos, so i replayed the demo a few times and flew to those spots. then i stitched the fraps videos together in virtualdub.

i may reupload the other masterjumps runs with similar spectator perspective shots, cause i really like them as well.

[Andyman3k]

I just came back to playin doom after about a year. Then did rjspace 9f in 7:31.
I still laugh at missing the blue key **

[dew]

beating my old sucky times on masterjumps9y again. this time map02 in 0:20.

aaand i like the new moviemaking abilities of zdaemon 1.09.01, so i've started (re)uploading the mj9y runs with all the fancy i could manage (correct aspect ratio, supersampled textures, heavy use of spectator angles).

TimeOfDeath's mj9y map01 in 1:20

my mj9y map02 in 0:20

[TimeOfDeath]

aw hells yeah, thx dew!

[dew]

ok, more reuploads of properly captured runs!

TimeOfDeath's mj9y map03 in 0:46

my mj9y map04 in 0:08, combines the run and the fancy crap.

[dew]

here's a demo from this november, recorded after cca two months of regular training.

rjspace9f max in 19:55
recorded with zdaemon 1.09.01

i thought with breaking the 20min barrier i'd reach happiness and my long deserved closure from this wad, but the demo looks like utter garbage and i'm afraid i'll have to slice off another... 2 minutes. :( it's both insanely lucky in some parts and heartbreakingly bad in others (like the utter desperation in the last minute), but it's still easily my best, most hardworked demo. a WIP 6 years in progress...

[dew]

i've uploaded two more of the standing records to youtube.

map05 in 1:49 by me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Jgzbweoaqs
map06 in 5:41 by TimeOfDeath: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdx3hQEZ_UU

the second demo features 3rd party music i've added for extra effect, 'cause it's the most ridiculous and surreal shit in the business.

[TimeOfDeath]

Thx a lot dew, and congrats on your sub 20 on rjspace. :)

Took 4shockblast's advice and reposted here, hopefully partially revive this dying art :P 
Recently returned to ZDaemon & rocket jumping after almost a decade hiatus and decided to polish up my skills. My map RJ_downtown, which is now regarded as one of the hardest rj maps, has very few recorded attempts at completion. One I found by oddessyofnoises on YT got 38 minutes. I wanted to beat 30, and strive for 25 min. Just barely missed my shot at sub-30 with this run of 31:17. As far as I know, this is the standing record. Definitely room for improvement on a few jumps..

And a youtube recording for convenience: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CnxD-g8oUGY

 

I'm working on rj_slab map03 to complete the above collection, but that last jump is ridiculous lol.

I played through rjumpq yesterday after watching a bit of your demo so you have succeeded :)

This reminded me of team fortress 2 and rocket jumping which i'm a fan of so I wanted to give this a shot, I was surprised at how different it is (and also difficult), but it's pretty fun.

Looking forward to check out some other maps to jump through but it looks like there's not alot of material

Deatharrow compiled all of the existing RJ maps back when the style was at it's most popular here https://forums.zdaemon.org/viewtopic.php?t=13581
I'm not sure any new maps have come out since then besides rjspace31, I've been out of the loop. But I have some sketches and tentative plans to do a new 5-10 map RJ wad geared toward speedrunning in the near future
