Very pleased to see Andy

any other port.
(not to mention being the best win32 port)
New Styx
map in /incoming -- always was one of my favorite dm map authors.

Claudio Barba sent several of the best demos I have ever had the priviledge
of updating here:
6 -fast maxdemos on Hell
Revealed.
The map15 and map25 demos are incredible!
Richie Agnew sent some very high quality demos of his own:
2 Punisher
maxdemos
2 Memento
Mori map23 maxdemos
Maxdemo on Relive
map09
Wim Vanrie sent an improved Crusades
e4m2 demo.
Jason Luebke did two well-planned maxdemos on Hell
Revealed2 Beta.
Albert Valls and I did a demoset for the fourth Speedmapping
wad.
-- some really nice demos by Albert in this one.
Mike Toilver did 2 entire Doom episodes:
Blakhell
-- these are some confusing maps. includes 2 bonus demos.
Infinity
-- dated, but certainly a nice set of maps.
Varun Abhirama Krishna did a 2-level maxdemo on Square.
I played through Face.uk's new Legacy room-over-room map, Spone.
I also did a few lame Twilight
Warrior demos. -- had to get that Counterstrike fix. = ]
-- disappointed that there is no real sniper map...
If you were observant recently, you would've noticed that I added a
more extensive Doom
links page.
Still somewhat incomplete (and spartan looking) and forgive me if I
missed an important site, Netscape kept crashing on me.
Really sad how many Doom pages have died in the last year or so...
(However, some good ones have started, too.)
Lastly, I personally want to thank Claudio for the rare demos that
he sent me recently.
18 new Compet-N
pwad demos -- on all the Megawads except MM2.
All the demos from this update: here
or here (504
kb)
other news:
The Doomworld Speedmapping
event every Saturday is fun.
QuakeSDA
has a new Run of the Week contest. -- (I did a 13.76 blah, I suck
at Quake.)
Cheated Quake page updated too.
Quake3Arena Point release finally came out.

Chris Ratcliff sent almost an entire Hell
Revealed -fast collection! Includes:
-- every level except 23, 26, and 30 -- which have never
been done.
-- 18 new demos -- including the second -fast recordings
ever for map09, 15, 25, 31, and 32.
-- new record on map07 and ties the record on map19.
-- check this
for a quick reference.
-- Watch these!
Sam Woodman did a nightmare run on Eternal
map14 with a cool switch trick.
I did a couple of map02 Hrb
demos: a new maxdemo record and the first -fast demo.
I also recorded my first TAS demo -- a speedrun on HR
map09.
Two new Compet-n
(updated) pwad demos.
-- Chris' Hf18 record - which is a great iddt demo; and Adam Hegyi
easily beating my M232 speedrun.

Other news:
I forgot to mention last time that Arno's ip changed. -- check the

Newcomer Jason Luebke did an impressive demo for Hell
Revealed2 map01.

Donatas Tamonis
-fastest maxdemo yet on Swockham

pwad Memento Mori2 demos.

or here (240

other news:
Contest results posted on Mission14 at the Pdang.
DMC
for Halflife is strange, if not downright peculiar... (I'm linking
Challenge-HL, because they already have demos for it!)
Ricebug
has released his last Quake2 conversions of Doom. -- thanks to Rich Brennan
for the news.
Why don't Counterstrike players use Dzip? -- Christ, I downloaded 200Mb
of CS demos this weekend, that was a whopping 30 demos...
<rant>
It seems that all the file servers for gaming are either disappearing
or becoming increasingly restrictive.
Webspace -- management, maintenance, and bandwidth -- is not cheap;
but making this service prohibitively functional is not a solution.
3ddownloads (like all gaming servers) will have regular problems; and
thanks to Arno, my site can avoid that.
The following links are all you need(almost) to use this site.
SDA - incoming
// Doom_sda files
// Ftp.cdrom.com --
wadfiles
Fileplanet is the focus of this rant -- go there and see for yourself,
whether or not it is even functional!
</rant>
Currently my keyboard and mouse are broken -- I get frustrated too
easy, I think. oh well...

Claudio Barba sent a very impressive Hrb
map01 demo (the fastest yet) and an equally impressive Zap07
demo.
-- these are must see demos, IMO.
Donatas Tamonis did a very fast maxdemo on Eulogy3
- recommended.
Wim Vanrie is back in action with a Crusades
Map01 demo in the fastest time yet.
Brad Spencer did a Loh
map06 speedrun.
I recorded a maxdemo on Metabolist's Swlavcit
map and a demoset for the second
Speedmapping event.
Albert Valls sent his usual bout of quality demos:
7 quick maxdemos for the first
Speedmapping wad
Qboard
-- map01 maxdemo.
Hotblood
-- maxdemo / -fast / -nomonsters / reality maxkills (reality demos are
always cool)
Tstorage
-- maxdemo / -fast / -nomonsters
Surprisingly, there are no new pwad Compet-n
demos... I'll have to change that.
All the demos from this update: here
or here (188
kb)
(The previous update can be downloaded directly from
here:
134kb)
other news:
Congrats to Vincent Catalaa for also acheiving a 30ns run.
There are several new -nomonsters demos (within the last month) at
the Public
Dang.
Jozsef Szalontai's e2m6_338 run is a must see demo for those who play
Quake.
Finally bothered to get Counterstrike (I have no real internet connection,
and this is online only, so I never played it).
-- the demos are cool; but the quality varies greatly. If anyone
has a demo (or 2) to recommend, I would appreciate it.

Varun Abhirama Krishna did maxdemos for two of Tobias Münch's
maps: Hotblood
and Tstorage.
Albert Valls sent a nice maxdemo on Qboard
map02... so I did the other 2 maps as well.
Mark Thompson did a speedrun on map01 of Raven.
I did an introductory demoset
for the first Doomworld
Speedmapping event.

pwad Hell Revealed and
Memento
Mori2 demos.
All the demos from this update: here
or here
(file is approximately 134kb -- if it is radically different, you are
getting the old update; so use the other link)
other news:
Marko van der Want will be missed. He exemplified everything that was
good about the Doom demoscene. Best of luck, Marko.
The recent Arno/Adam zdoom demos on Map01 and Boo are worth viewing.
I assume they were netgames -- I wish you could see their pings, or netgraph,
or some information during the demos.
After some trepidation, I learned the truth about how to playback Q3A
cpma 0.99u demos.
