On Last Call, you mean ... Eeeww, you even got those last two Barons ... Well, at least now you know not to align yourself along the axis of the cubes.

Such incredible bad luck can only mean one thing: if you don't let it faze you you're going to have a successful run soon and it will be at least 10 minutes faster than this DNF.

Jesus Christ... I don't think my keyboard would survive that. This game is evil, I know it.

Here are some failed AV13 tyson attempts. Long demos...

Requiem map 27 can be tysoned. Here I get 178/318 kills in about an hour. I haven't even played this map much, so it seems very doable indeed. If I had survived to the megasphere, I might have succeeded. An arch-vile kills the cyber easily. Then the final room can be opened from the pit, so the spider mastermind can be easily shot from there. Not super hard, but the map is long. I estimate a final time to be about 1:50:00. I'm not sure whether I'll keep trying this, so feel free to do it. Just watch what I do here and do it better.

Does your demo include riding up a lift into being surrounded by 3 arachnotrons and surviving this situation?
EDIT. Ah, OK. So you spend 10 minutes lowering that lift again and again, hoping an arach will stand entirely on it. For me it's "no, thanks".

[Aqfaq]

Oh well, I think I can finish this off sometime soon. It only requires some peculiar form of patience.

[Aqfaq]

After a few more attempts I improved the kill count to 222/318. The time is 65 minutes. The cyber was killed, but after that I got confused, because I was not in the right place to kill the arch-vile after it killed the cyber. The arch-vile was out of control, so the situation got messy. It was a fun run, though. Doom won again.

Nova: The Birth MAP28 cl2

Farmed a bunch of revenant missiles to cheese that annoying archvile in the first wave. I still don't think im patient enough to beat this whole level in one sitting.

what happened at end? luls

It called: 'Linedef skip'. If you run with maximum speed (with strafe) + under angle in 35* you can avoid trigger.
This trick happens with me everytime. Sometimes it's really useful to avoid traps - sometimes (as in your case) just brings problems.

Edit: Forgot to add: But 'Linedef skip' doesn't work on 'Unknown' action.

I find linedef skips always happen to me when I want to go through a teleporter, yet they never occur when I need them to. You notice it in a few demos people not being able to teleport at times.

oh right... and i also noticed i didnt get in the exit line only because it was far before my position
i was wondering cus I thought it was right there :)

Ha, interesting. Do you think it's a different kind of linedef?

Yes. The best example is SODfinal.wad MAP10. In end me and 'dew' tried make several tricks like rocketjump and linedef skip to avoid trap with archviles.
Speed from Rocketjump isn't enough to reach lever, Linedef skip doesn't work because there is Unknown action. Tried linedef skip in Sunlust too but same problems.
I guess Unknown actions or Scripted actions based on another code of game.

[ClumsyDoomer]

Well, that's not because of linedef action. Every linedef is skippable, Looper approved it. A linedef may be harder to skip because:

1. It faces a certain direction
2. It's intentionally duplicated by authors

Actually there are very many duplicated lines in sunlust.

I just recently posted a new Requiem Map 10 UV-Fast demo...
This is a funny compilation video of how 90% of my runs failed in the first 30 secs

Memento Mori MAP22 tyson failed because 8 enemies that are supposed to die in a "cutscene" style thing with barrels didn't die because this map is a piece of god damn shit

edit: identified the issue, surprised I never encountered it with max runs, but I got an exit that's 7~ mins faster with 100% kills, so who cares lol.

A fail run of Sunlust map23 where I jump out off the platform to my death, outside the fighting zones. Thought it was funny.

AV24 tyson attempt. 134/143 kills in about 27 minutes. This was the first time I survived to the berserk, so I got a bit nervous. Anyway, it went surprisingly well, amazingly well for my standards! Spider demon got killed, although I had not practiced it much. Anyone wanna finish this for real? I kind of had my fun already and I'm probably not going to try this again anytime soon.

Memento Mori II, map 20 tyson attempt. 78/112 kills in about 27 minutes. Guess what? I was able to kill the cyberdemon!

[Aqfaq]

Got my second cyber kill in just a few more attempts. If I had not taken a direct hit from a rocket, this might have succeeded. Yes, you read that right, I took a direct hit from a rocket. 104/112 kills in about 41 minutes. Anyone else wanna try?
