Alfonzo Posted September 30, 2016 October, 2016* >>> Download Khorus' Speedy Shit <<< *This month's DWIronman League challenge was originally the megawad 10 Sectors.

Enjoy the view from the peanut gallery! 1st - EDT 16:00: an_mutt (countdown clock) What is the Doomworld Ironman League? The DWIronman League is a monthy competition in which participants aim to survive for as many levels as possible in the given mapset, preferably in one sitting. Click the spoiler tag below for a detailed list of rules. Players of all levels of ability are welcome; it could change the way you play Doom! In October 2016 the DWIronman League dies to Doomworld's 10 Sector - -complevel 9 (Boom (strict)) Khorus' Speedy Shit - -complevel 2 (Doom (strict)), which as the name implies is a set resulting from a spectacular spurt of speedmapping energy; an entire megawad crafted in a month. This might bear some bad fruit in Any Joe's hands, but Khorus is a famed level designer who in 2012 was awarded the title of Mapper of the Year. He has no time for easing the player into the challenge; you'll soon have a taste for the sorts of tightly knit and tricksy setups that characterize his levels. Good luck and don't die get stuck! Spoiler One attempt per megawad/mapset. Good luck! Demos (PrBoom+ and GLBoom), stream highlights and single-take video recordings are the only accepted proofs. UV only continous; no pistol-starting. No auto-loaded wads unless they are purely cosmetic. No hard-coded cheats or features that result in behaviour beyond what is possible in the intended source port (e.g. freelook, jumping and crouching in a boom set). If streaming or recording videos using an advanced source port with compatability options, you must not enable any flags that result in behaviour beyond what is possible in the intended source port. In most cases, this will mean that you can comfortably use "Doom/Boom(strict)" behaviour in ZDoom, for example. You must also display these settings on-screen before your run. You do not have to play the secret levels in order to register a complete run. However, a player who finishes the game having completed more secret levels will rank higher than his competitors. You do not have to complete your run in a single sitting. Such runs are considered to be "hardcore" runs. For stream and video recording users, you need only load a savegame that has been shown to be set during the previous segment, and again displaying the same compatability options. For demo users, you may continue using the same recording using a save file linked in the thread alongside the demo, assuming the -complevel allows for this function (e.g. -cl 9). Otherwise, the run must be completed in a single sitting or in segments separated by forced pistol starts (mandatory death exits) and episodes. You cannot load a game having progressed past the save point. This includes "scouting ahead" for map details "just to check on something." You cannot consult Doom Builder during your run to check for map details. Your viewers may, however. If you die for any reason, tough luck! Your little brother snuck into your room while you were paused and getting tea and walked your marine into an inescapable pit? Brilliant. You went to answer the doorbell but knocked over your mug of hot chocolate and a baron ripped your arm off? Walk it off, hot stuff! You're through. If your operating system fails during the run with you having progressed beyond the most recent save point then it's a write-off, sorry! In the event that the leaders are tied having died on the same map, the player to have arrived at the map of death in the fastest time will be deemed the winner.

Alfonzo Posted September 30, 2016 The objective of this month's ironman challenge is simple: DotW must die. I can tolerate a good run of fortune as well as the next bloke but the man's just brushed off the supposedly difficult Nilla Doom like it was a mite inconvenience. We must pool our collective energies into manifesting his timely demise. Nothing short of his pants being pulled down by a rogue zombieman will suffice. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
Tristan Posted September 30, 2016 Abysmal. I'll never live this one down. I thought that missile would fly over my head. Instead it carried at least 70 damage, bullshit. With only Alfonzo on the board so far I'll be entering at the bottom, and that's where I'll be staying, unless Jimmy delivers! :^) Spoiler Everyone find this guy and beat him up 0 Quote Share this post Link to post

You may have picked a bad wad if you're trying to kill DotW. Back when he was first getting me into Doom, in 2004-ish, he mentioned this wad as being one he was particularly fond of. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post

Alter Posted September 30, 2016 If you want to kill DotW and everyone else? CHILLAX! It's not even fair but who cares Alfonzo will get his enjoyment out of DotW dying. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
Steve D Posted September 30, 2016 I know the feeling, Alfonzo. It took me over 30 maps before I got my first DotW pelt, after putting myself through sheer playtesting torture in pursuit of this prize. When you die north of 50 times in your own map, then send it his way, drooling over the certainty of a pelt, imagine the horrible, sinking feeling when you see him master that map as if it were a kindergarten exercise. I've never scalped him in a Doom 2 map, though. That will be the next milestone. Damned marvelous to watch him play, though, isn't it? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post

joe-ilya Posted September 30, 2016 https://www.twitch.tv/joe_ilya Taking the challange! EDIT : Run ended on MAP08 due to an inescapable pit set right below a teleporter, what a load of garbage. https://www.twitch.tv/joe_ilya/v/92230493 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
ZeroMaster010 Posted September 30, 2016 what a piece of shit wad, locked in on map 08 to linedef skip, lol. At least I didn't die... this is why you wait for other people to do the ironman first so you can avoid stupid things like this. Linedef skip happened around yellow key area, so don't sr40\sr50 there I guess. https://www.dropbox.com/s/ggzm9onaq11o6j5/10sectorZM.lmp?dl=0 edit: different place than joe-ilya too, apparently there are several places this can happen. edit2: just to correct myself, I had fun on the first 7 maps, I'm sure the wad isn't bad if you play it outside of an ironman challenge. As far as I can tell all 3 were linedef skips, and a quick look in doom builder it only looks like there were 3 (2 west and 1 south) that were possible to skip that would break the map, funny how we ran into all of them. Probably best played in zdoom or so to avoid them though. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
Tristan Posted September 30, 2016 lol, I predicted MAP08 would be That Map, but this isn't really what I had in mind :P 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
Veinen Posted September 30, 2016 So here's a third map08 DNF in a row: https://www.mediafire.com/?78rf8u4mmteb64n Different spot than joe-ilya or ZM too. A lovely map for sure. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
cannonball Posted September 30, 2016 I have nothing to say about this one http://www.mediafire.com/file/3xnn5x3yz7x3sqe/10seccb.lmp Map03, roasted by a stupidly placed archie, I am not even sure how he even got me. Yeah I don't think I will replay this one even after the first 3 maps, very sloggy with badly placed mid-tier monsters, the exit room of Map03 is just ridiculous. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
Linguica Posted September 30, 2016 I just replayed Map08 all the way through on -complevel 9 and didn't have the map break, so Works On My Machine™. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
Ancalagon Posted September 30, 2016 https://www.mediafire.com/?fq2n76jj9s9m32x Died in map09, ate a rocket while telefragging a cyber in map08 (nice design!) so went into map09 without the best hp. Edit: Continued playing after my death, got stuck in the next map... This wad sucks for ironman. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
an_mutt Posted September 30, 2016 I'll be running this at 8PM GMT tomorrow. If time zones are too much for you, then just look at this in about 22 hours. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
Alfonzo Posted September 30, 2016 Okay, this is borderline disasterous. I could have tested the wad more in advance; didn't encounter this degree of brokenness in my past playthroughs. Should DNFs get a second go, perhaps starting from the same map? Sucks having to wait a month before your run gets shut down by some backwater map that's held together by blu-tack. Is uploading the DNF demo and then continuing from pistol start an option, here? In any case, here's a WAD that TGH just uploaded correcting yet another show-stopper on Map16. Thanks, TGH! You'll want to load this alongside the main wad file. Details are within the text file. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
The Green Herring Posted September 30, 2016 On that note, it looks as if the reason for all these MAP08 DNF demos is indeed, as assumed, linedef skipping. It assumes the player will never, ever skip any linedefs, which is a reasonable assumption if you assume players will only use ZDoom, but not if the player is running in Boom or any other engine compatible with it like PrBoom-plus. As a result, MAP08 is so fragile in those ports that skipping even one linedef will result in breakage. This level hurts. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
Anima Zero Posted September 30, 2016 The good news? Eris has been avenged by me as I smacked down the skeleton that kicked his ass. The better news? Map 8 didn't give me a perma stuck situation! The bad news? The last room of map 8...well, I figured out why Eris was expecting this to be "That Map". 5-6 minutes of swearing later and calling this room bullshit (and it is with its horrid design), I eat one too many rockets to sustain life and shuffled off this mortal coil. http://www.mediafire.com/file/pd7ykh3a4a54xdm/ 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
koren Posted September 30, 2016 Played totally blind. Got trapped in a room on map13 because of a one time rising floor leaving without me. Mildly irritating to say the least! Demo here. I suppose it's not too surprising to see janky map behaviour and linedef skip problems given the constraints the project was made under. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
Alfonzo Posted September 30, 2016 Okay, that's the 4th unique DNF. rehelekretep said:quick Alfonzo - its still the 30th, change the WAD!!!11 Mhm! Here's a one hour buffer post before I tear this bubblegum mapset down off the wall. It's an interesting set, and one that I thought was suitable for Ironman. I was wrong - at the very least on account of its being broken in so many places. If there are any objections, you can use this time to raise them. The 30th of September can crown the very first (hopefully only) one day ironman champion and then crawl off to die. In the mean time, I'll find something robust. Apologies to those who took time out of their day to attempt a recording. cannonball's outing was at least worth the price of admission :) 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
SleepyVelvet Posted October 1, 2016 Ahh, the classic cyberdemon rocket flies past you but nicks something adjacent to you, one of my favorites DEAD: MAP08 It's actually the 30th where i am still, but after i looked in this thread and realized this set might be trashed, i decided to play it anyways as ironman practice. Spoiler Map07 started getting spooky with the first Cyberdemon, Map08 was spectacular in it's gimmicks; i must play more prboom-plus.exe -file .\10sector.wad -record noisy.10sector.lmp 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
Alfonzo Posted October 1, 2016 Khorus' Speedy Shit is now in the hotseat. Everyone gets a second go. koren takes out the Diet Iron Chocolates and I get a slap on the wrist for picking something terrible. Good luck! DWIronman League Bastardized Edition September 30th 2016: # Map13: koren - The bug that broke the camel's back. (DNF) # Map09: Ancalagon - Skipped classes during the weight loss program. Paid the price in barons. # Map08: joe-ilya - This just in: Map08 sucks. Trapped between a two-bit self-referencing bridge. (DNF) # Map08: Veinen - Map08 continues to build a name for itself some 16 years after inception. (DNF) # Map08: ZeroMaster010 - POS map swallowing up even more of the best in show. Eat a big one, Map08 (DNF) # Map08: Anima Zero - Ring around the rosie 2.0. # Map04: Alfonzo - Don't talk to me - I don't want to hear it. # Map03: Eris Falling - Got a short, back and sides from a lofty revenant. Those rocket hair removal techniques are really coming on strong! # Map03: cannonball - That's centimeter perfect, Dennis! Centimeter perfect! - [11:33] <Rayziik> official ruling on 10sectors: FUBAR and unfit for ironman competition [11:33] <Rayziik> :D 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
lil'devil Posted October 1, 2016 Khorus' Speedy Shit.. Mmm, never played this one, but the name sure sounds interesting. Expect a demo from me today or tomorrow. By the way, can someone explain to a noob what is a DNF? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post

SilverIce Posted October 1, 2016 Since it's still the 30th where I'm at, here's my run on 10 sectors: Died on MAP07. The monsters at the end of the previous map softened me up, then a revenant finished the job. (The one time I put together a decent run, and the mapset gets changed. FML) 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
Anima Zero Posted October 1, 2016 Decided to take a crack at Khorus' Speedy Shit before going to bed, a great sign of success going forth. Had some close calls, but I made it all the way to map 13 before I went sailing right into a cybie rocket not meant for me. Gotta love it when those kind of deaths happen, am I right? http://www.mediafire.com/file/djmrn3x0kl5v4ru/ 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
Demon of the Well Posted October 1, 2016 Ah, KSST. I reckon you're likely going to get your wish with this one, Alfonzo, since I don't really know this one very well. I'm certain I've played at least some of it before, but I may or may not have actually finished it....as I recall I didn't actually like it that much, TBH--gonna have to trot out the ancestral trump card of the unwashed masses and say it seemed more than a mite "samey" to me after a while, I think--but maybe that'll change with a second look, so I'll try to find the time to die horribly and painfully before the month is out. Also, 10 Sectors, really? You crazy, man. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
