Final DOOM demos [-complevel 4]

[j4rio]

a slightly tool-assisted UV-max on first map of Plutonia, it was quite difficult to pull off, I'm still getting the hang of it so I'm not particularly content with the result

plutonia 09 max in 3:01, don't upload to DSDA, only posting this here again because anca keeps making me look terrible :D

Obviously this is the same time, I did this in prboom+ in 20 minutes worth of attempts. Wasted 2 seconds using a slower strat for the start so I could push more attempts to just get lucky in the last room.

I am never going to do UV-Max again using CNDoom or something that isn't prboom+

Welcome to the master race, enjoy your stay.

Also

[10/13/15 20:30] <zeromaster010> I don't think I would ever use prboom+, and I would never bother with a max movie without hud

Does this mean movies are soon? :D

[ZeroMaster010]

Heh, yeah who knows, I only have some small issues with mouse sensitivity I would have to work out though. I would like to do a max movie for plutonia or doom 2, but the main thing that makes it unlikely is that I don't think I want to put the time into such a long demo, because I know I would spend countless hours trying to look for improvements in a route like that. I really think I'm done with uv-max for now, I don't want to play with prboom, but I don't want to handicap myself either.

I actually can't get used to the advanced HUD. I'd rather have the status bar graphics with smart totals in the upper right-side of the screen.

Something akin to this
Is this even possible to do on your own?

what's with the shaky mouse movement, it almost feels like an azuboy's max at parts, your demos used to be smoother

[j4rio]

No changes in mouse settings so just getting rusty, I guess.

If you're hinting at a tas usage, I wouldn't mind streaming attempts, but I don't know how to nor do I have good enough internet connection for that.

[blob1024]

they are usually perfecter (lol) XD

[j4rio]

Well, few months ago I've been forced into the shittiest student's apartment available that's about as nicely decorated as some prisons in Scandinavia, the table there is fucking obnoxious, full of holes and scratches and optical mouse barely worked on it until I placed at least a few sheets of paper under it. Also, the table cloth is like a blast from our beautiful socialist past, made of some weird gluey matter and laptop keeps overheating on it, so it randomly reboots. I wonder if that might have something to do with the decrease of demo smoothness.

[Andrea Rovenski]

do people really care about "smoothness" lol

[Nevanos]

If people do care that much, we should have a 'Demo's Beauty Pageant'.

[j4rio]

It's not about smoothness, I suppose I get what ancalagon is getting at. When playing with higher mouse sens, the looks of my demos end up comparable in looks to demos recorded in slow motion.

E: Can I get a "not smooth enough" custom title? Thanks.

[Memfis]

I care about smoothness a lot. Some of Plut's demos I can't watch at all because his crazy movement is very unpleasant to my eyes, and I remember at least one other person agreeing with me on this. This is also why keyboard-only demos always make me happy, although they can have ugly sides like obvious timewasting that wouldn't happen if the player had a mouse.

If I had to choose between watching a 7:10 demo by Plut and a 7:40 demo by Hitherto, I would most likely go with the second one. Hitherto is very passionate about elegance in speedruns, it really makes his stuff shine and to me it proves that time isn't everything. I guess this is not a very popular position nowadays.

[Azuruish]

HHHeeeeeeyyyy... People... Smooth Factor in PRBoom exist for what? Put over 9 and it will smoothly enough.

I was not implying tas usage, I was just saying that it was disgusting to watch that demo after watching old vile's record.
You could say that only speed matters here and we're all good.

[j4rio]

The problem is "beauty" is relative and unmeasurable. The closest you can get to that are self-imposed challenges that don't bother with time, like trying to do fast reality demos in okuplok's style or something.

[dew]

Comparing anything to vile's elegant style will always result in a letdown, heh.
