DooMer 4ever Posted November 17, 2012 Ouch. I felt horrible just by watching that :( I can't even imagine what it would feel like as a player when something like that would happen. Well, I hope you have the willpower left to do the run once more. 0 Share this post Link to post
Memfis Posted November 17, 2012 meh, that's kinda like missing one imp in a map with 10000 monsters. I'd say screw the rules, j4rio wins. 0 Share this post Link to post

Well, I hope you have the willpower left to do the run once more. No hard feelings tbh. Shit happens. If the map wasn't so malfunctioning, I wouldn't mind replaying it. There are 12 linedefs releasing stuff way too likely to skip and there's usually no way to notice you skipped them until much later into run, also ocassional all-ghost bug because -cl2... blah. I'll probably replay it sometime, just unlikely to do so anytime soon. Maybe it'll help inspire somebody meanwhile. 0 Share this post Link to post
Okuplok Posted November 17, 2012 heh that was unlucky, mastermind was like "no under 10 mins for you muwhaha" :p and cool route btw ;) 0 Share this post Link to post
j4rio Posted November 17, 2012 I wonder if you'll attempt it. Would be awesome, your playstyle is at least 1000% better. :) 0 Share this post Link to post
abyrvalg Posted November 17, 2012 Most unexpected final plot twist in ever, haha. Goddamn that must've been annoying to screw it up like that, but 10/10 either way on a fun factor scale. Also agree with j4rio, would be awesome to see Okuplok spending some 8-9mins on this map >:D 0 Share this post Link to post
gggmork Posted November 17, 2012 ha ha ha, that demo epitomizes what it means to play doom. It was programmed by trolls. I swear that maes or someone snuck some code into prboom+ that makes the random number generator learn and repeatedly roll the numbers that best kill and aggravate the player. that's an excellent time though. I barely even remember what triggers what in that map. It needs some visual guidance, like each quadrant textured differently or something. Yeah, that demo inspires me... NOT to play that map anymore. 0 Share this post Link to post
j4rio Posted November 17, 2012 Doom speed demos, aka how to cope with rng. I think rng works perfectly, it's just our brain trying to handle it in such awkward manner that all utter annoyances get transcribed onto our memory card and every instance when it worked like a charm is forgotten evetually. Thanks for the route ideas btw, Mr.Pianistfishavatar. 0 Share this post Link to post
TimeOfDeath Posted November 17, 2012 j4rio, that's probably the slowest uv-speed demo I've ever seen... ;) gggmork said:Yeah, that demo inspires me... NOT to play that map anymore. I promised myself that the last time I played it. It's such a dick map for rushing and it seems like the rushier you are the dickier it is. 0 Share this post Link to post

Memfis Posted November 18, 2012 Ribbiks said:Is this a boom thing, or just doom in general? General: boom, vanilla, mbf... I belive it was fixed in ZDoom though. There is a theory that diagonal lines are less likely to malfunction. pic: on the right the player has more area to trip the linedef. I don't know if that's true but I always make trigger linedefs in my maps diagonal just in case. Who knows, maybe it will save some speedrunner a hour or two. :) 0 Share this post Link to post
Grazza Posted November 26, 2012 j4rio said:ocassional all-ghost bug because -cl2Turn off intercepts overflow emulation. That way, if you trigger an overflow, you'll at least have a demo recorded (rather than it being trashed on the spot), even if it doesn't play back with Doom2.exe. If there is no overflow, then the demo will be Doom2.exe-compatible in any case. Be sure to keep spechits overflow emulation turned on though. 0 Share this post Link to post
j4rio Posted November 26, 2012 I know about that possibility, but it makes playback annoyance. I'd rather have it recorded without requirement of changing settings even if it might take more tries. 0 Share this post Link to post
TimeOfDeath Posted November 26, 2012 Do you often watch demos with intercepts overflows? :) 0 Share this post Link to post
j4rio Posted November 27, 2012 I watched one, to be precise. You can have a wild guess which. :P 0 Share this post Link to post

Donce Posted January 9, 2013 Finally! After almost nine years someone sat down and beat my crappy demo :) Of course, the reason is obvious: this damn secret :) BTW, I renamed the demo on my disk to h204-239, so it would be consistent with the naming of other demos. 0 Share this post Link to post

vdgg Posted March 27, 2013 Let me guess before watching: arch-vile jump? heh, my expectations were too high, still a very nice run. 0 Share this post Link to post
Memfis Posted March 27, 2013 You mean av jump to the rockets and then use them on barons? That's a great idea, I guess even 4:high is possible this way. Not sure if I want to try it heh. 0 Share this post Link to post
