Hate to sound like some random guy on the Internet here, but... ROTFLMAO. I never, in a million years, expected anyone to do anything more with this WAD after my max pack. It's really good, too; the movements look smooth and optimal and the whole thing was entertaining. That said, as I pointed out in my demo pack's text file, the secret exit is on E3M3 instead of E3M6, which lets you skip E3M4-6, meaning you only have to play six levels (five regular levels and the secret level) instead of eight. What I didn't note, however, was where the secret exit was. It's located spoiler - highlight to read:
in the secret room north of where you get the blue key on E3M3, on the eastern side of the room.
Judging from the times you achieved, and depending on how a run on E3M9 turns out, you could knock off about three and a half minutes or so that way. That said, it was funny and cathartic to see you own E3M4 like that, and your text file says that was one of two reasons you did this demo. I knew you could perform that skip, but I left it out of my max demo specifically because you have to walk through every fucking door in the level to get 100% Secrets, which precludes skipping the hedge maze. Glad to see someone else noticed!
Would it be too much to suggest both a TAS movie using the secret exit skip, and a TAS demo on E1M1? :)
