The DooMed Speed Demos Archive returns!

[Demonologist]

Really? I was pretty sure they get uploaded to the archives as soon as they appear, and that demopack doesn't seem to have a time limit or whatever. Okay then, I beg your pardon, kind sirs.

You should probably add a mention that dimes 30pl2807 uses map17 suicide exit since it technically makes it a different category (it wasn't allowed in compet-n rules, rest of the non-tas 30pl runs don't use that route).

[Revved]

Should the same also apply to vdgg's Memento Mori 2 Episode 1 UV Speed run? That run uses a suicide exit on Map 9.

[vdgg]

Wow, my old run has not been completely forgotten :)

(it wasn't allowed in compet-n rules, rest of the non-tas 30pl runs don't use that route).

No, Jakub Machata's hr runs from 2003 prove otherwise. My heart bleeds when I see Doomguy dying in the middle of his adventure, but it was allowed. Always, I think.

85 demos this week.

67 demos this week.

Was there any particular reason that the suicide exit was contested for episode or SS runs initially? It sounds a lot like the void glide trick/thread.

[SAV88]

Jario's LV10-414 was accidentally put into the Doom 1 table.

[Andy Olivera]

91 demos this week.

Dime: I'm not familiar with any history regarding death exits, myself. A Compet-N vet might be able to clarify for us.

SAV88: Fixed. Thanks!

The links to Zahid's MAP05 and MAP06 maxes for ASLGEUP redirect to the 404 error page instead of the page of Zahid's MAP01-MAP06 collection, ASLDEMOS.ZIP.

I recall that some players *assumed* it was not allowed in a movie run due to the wording of the rules (and therefore avoided it), but AdamH clarified that simply starting the next level did not count as "respawning after a death", and therefore that exiting a level dead in a movie run was, and always had been, OK.

Zahid whitemare 2 demo for map 15 is ultra violence speed rather than uv max

[4shockblast]

Kieran Millar's D2TWID map 02 Pacifist in 0:05 is the secret exit.

[Andy Olivera]

135 demos this week.

Grazza: Thanks for the clarification.

All fixed since last update. Thanks!

[4shockblast]

plums' ticktock.wad Map 31 pacifist uses the secret exit.

[The Green Herring]

My -nomonsters demo for dmfoot is missing from the archive page. It is listed and included alongside my other demos in the original publication post for my demo pack.

[kunkun]

Reason I thought death exits were not allowed was because Vile actually said so in his ep2 run comments. Doesn't specify which trick but I just assumed it was the most obvious one. Cool to learn these little things about compet-n history.

17: Can't perform the trick here because it breaks the rules. :)

[Andy Olivera]

50 demos this week.

4shock & TGH: Both fixed. Thanks!

[Andy Olivera]

68 demos this week.

[4shockblast]

All demos on map 1 of Killing Adventure should either be maxes or Tysons, since there are no weapons on the map.

[Andy Olivera]

76 demos this week.

4shock: Fixed. Thanks!

[Null]

Keyboard_Doomer's map15 reality is for the secret exit.

[SAV88]

Henning's RE13-426 is not for this megawad.

[Andy Olivera]

93 demos this week.

Null & SAV88: Both fixed. Thanks!

[4shockblast]

My Killing Adventure map 08 and map 18 maxes were actually -complevel 9. Also, my DoomJr Map 26 UV-Speed is also Pacifist. Sorry about the inaccurate textfiles.

[Andy Olivera]

34 demos this week, with a bunch left over for next week.

4shock: Fixed. Thanks!

Does that mean there were some you noticed last week, but just didn't get uploaded to DSDA? I'm not trying to sound impatient or ungrateful (sorry if I come across that way); I just want to make sure that it wouldn't be more convenient for me to e-mail you the ones I had from last week that didn't get uploaded to DSDA.

[Andy Olivera]

Yeah, last week was crazy and there were a bunch of new demos. Next week's update should contain what's missing...
