Well, that could have gone better, but still fun! Category: 1 Difficulty: UV Died: Map 1 / 21 kills Sourceport: DSDA-Doom YouTube Spoiler: mxcraven-ie-24-04.zip

I survived my first Ironman map! :D I might play through this WAD casually, it looks cool as hell. Category: 1 Died: MAP02 / 41 kills MAP01 exit: 6:46 YouTube Spoiler mxcraven-dwil-24-04.zip

Wow, first Ironman competition in 4 years... Time has flown since Eviternity 2. I also died there fairly quickly. This one didn't go too badly IMO. I kinda had a grasp of what was going on, it was just overwhelming and I have no idea how to preserve ammo and fight. Good attempt for me anyway, hopefully back next month for more slaughter!

My first Ironeagle competition, and first time really playing Doom in a few years. Great WAD from what I saw, might have to give it a better go on some lower difficulties. I know I can go for an easier difficulty, but I *really* want to get good at UV, and the way I did that in uDoom was to play UV until I cracked it. Probably gonna try pistol starting all of the DWMegaWADClub maps this month (or as many as I can). Anyway, hopefully I'll remember to be back next month for more :3 I might even remember to do an intro before cracking straight into the video... Only been doing this like 12+ years now Cat: 1 Time (dead): 4:11 Kills: 51 Secrets: 0 Video: DWIL_24-03_castevil_Craven.zip

Ah, yeah, I was uploading it late and kept having to reupload it every time I changed settings (because apparently if you change the name of a category it hides every run on the board, I can only hope there's a way around that for the categories that have to add glitch/glitchless later in life...) All your runs are up here, and a clean sweep for you in EC-Max :P I'll probably slowly populate my own time board, but I doubt I'll get any times better than yours. Cheers for filling up the first episode! :D https://www.speedrun.com/freedoom_phase_1/individual_levels (I didn't add your EC-Speed of E1M2 since you didn't make a video, but if you want it up there I can)

https://www.speedrun.com/freedoom_phase_1 I have got FreeDoom (Phase 1 only) added as a game on Speedrun.com! I've got a full run of Ep1 EC-Speed up, and will hopefully have Ep1 Any% (ITYTD) up when I'm next at my other computer with that demo on it. @Shepardus If you would like to add your ILs then I should have those categories sorted very soon (probably by the time you see this). If not I can add them for you (unless you don't want them at all). This goes for anyone else who has ILs ( @beast ) Hopefully this can make things easier for tracking scores instead of a mess of forum posts, but of course keep posting them here (especially since demos are required for IGT and all ILs so you've got to host them somewhere!)

Multiple buttons to the same command should be perfectly fine, the only objections here seem to be multiple commands to 1 key (or making one key by physically gluing 3 buttons together or something). I've got ctrl and M1 bound to shoot, and I use both, so I hope that's allowed :P

FreeDoom Phase 1: Episode 1 33m04s (33m38s real time) This came a lot quicker than I was expecting it to. Shame I didn't hit the sub 33, but I'm happy with the sub35. This run has a lot more time to be taken off of it, both with better strategies, and more luck running through everything (currently I play very safe). Hopefully I'll get some more improvements out :3 Currently in the process of getting a speedrun.com page set up for this so we've got some sort of leaderboard and easier access to see what's been done than this. It'll only be Phase 1 since I don't have a full game run of phase 2 (hoping they accept a single episode, but if not I'll have to ITYTD the rest of the episodes) Anyway, here's the run! :D fd1e1-3304.zip https://www.twitch.tv/videos/862332015

But it doesn't matter how hard you kick the keyboard then, only that you did it at the right time. Pressing X harder doesn't make the Doomguy go faster!

But the kick will have a slower reation time than fingers. The speed of the kick doesn't matter in this, since we're not sending things a distance we're actuating a switch and your fingers have much better twitch muscles than your legs. Sure you can kick a football further than you can flick a pingpong ball, but you'd have better reaction times flicking than kicking. I do think it's an interesting question, since you've only got so many fingers you can press buttons with so having pedals at your feet to press more buttons would be interesting. I know a few GW2 and WoW players that used racing sim pedals so they could move forwards and backwards with their feet meaning more fingers to press binds, and a few friends who have pedals under their desks have a setup to bind them to W to have a stretch while playing Minecraft and climbing a ladder or just walking back down a long mineshaft. Admittedly the second use is less important in Doom since very few levels are that long and you can take a break in between levels for episode/D2All runs.

@Rackevin Hey, could you change the name of this post to something like "FreeDoom Speedruns (0.12.1) Post Here"? This has kinda become the posting hub and it'd be good to at least have a title that brings people in, rather than it being akwardly a question.

FreeDoom Phase 1: Episode 1 (0.12.1) UV-Speed in 38m23s Full run, M1-M8. That was bloody hard. Have at it. I know you'll all have it beaten by tomorrow, but fuck it :P FUCK YES! This was a whole lot of grinding, and learning, and holy hell do I feel this is a big achievement for me! I know every time I do a FreeDoom run that nobody else has done it very quickly gets smashed by someone, but damn it I've finished this run. Doom is hard, man. And FreeDoom is harder than iD Doom. Finally smashed it out though. Dunno how happy I am with the time, but for now it can stand, because I can't stand running through this just now... https://www.twitch.tv/videos/857591665 Twitch link for if you want my rants about shorttics and getting shotgunned down :P fd1e1-3823.zip

PrBoom has the advanced HUD which removes the bottom part, but it stretches the screen out so you gain no vision from that.

Here's some runs at E1M8 UV-Max. Sub 1 min is possible, but I got bored and couldn't be bothered to keep trying for it right now. f1d8m.zip

I spent a good 5 minutes trying to work out what thing to put there, and there isn't really a good one! My first thought was -record, but by the number of people submitting video only to speedrun.com that argument is not used enough at all! Potentially -iwad, since most engines default to Doom2.wad if you don't specify.
