Grazza Posted September 20, 2017 map10 (Bridge by Ty Halderman), UV Pacifist/Speed in 0:04 ic10p004.zip A one-second improvement over my 0:05 demo from April 2004(!). This one also has the advantage of being a vanilla-compat demo, rather than Boom (used back then only due to the lack of good recording options). This took a lot of attempts - way more than it should. It's all skill of course - no luck at all involved here. :p The zip includes a couple of fails, where I demonstrate why it is a good idea to run in the right direction. I'll try for 0:03 in 2031. 2 Share this post Link to post
Grazza Posted September 21, 2017 map05 (Flipside by Mark Snell), UV Pacifist/Speed in 0:23 ic05p023.zip Not quite the time I was hoping for, but I think this shows that with a bit more luck, it could go very much sub-20. The funny thing is that the imp happily walks into the teleporter all on his own. 1 Share this post Link to post

Grazza Posted May 8, 2019 (edited) map05 (Flipside by Mark Snell), Nightmare! Pacifist/Speed in 0:20 Two-second improvement. Very frustrating run. So much for my target time of 0:16... 0:18 is probably more realistic, but I've spent long enough on this for now. Edited May 8, 2019 by Grazza : fixed error in txt 1 Share this post Link to post

vdgg Posted November 21, 2019 10 hours ago, Scorpius said: MAP27 - Pacifist in 0:13 Nice, 13.57 vs. 13.97 by Kristian. It's about time you started using correct -complevels, though. -complevel 2 for all classic vanilla WADs; for Plutonia and Evilution there's preference for -complevel 4. I guess it didn't matter much in your previous runs, but sooner or later you will discover the behaviour is different and you have an advantage or disadvantage over previous runners, depending on the map. Try the following experiment: load up MM2, MAP16, -nomonsters, and try to grab the red key as in UV Speed. You will not be able to do it no matter what. Then when you add -complevel 2 to the command line, suddenly the grab will become easy. Please start using complevels so that conditions (you/past speedrunners) are more equal. 2 Share this post Link to post

I ran MAP16 of MM2, and found that (after a little bit of difficulty) I did manage to grab the Red Key in complevel 2 vs whatever the standard complevel is for PRBoom+. Therefore, I will use this -complevel command for my future runs now. :) P.S. Is there a way to find out the EXACT time for these runs? I didn't know I got 13[.57] on that run.

vdgg Posted November 21, 2019 @Scorpius prboom-plus -file icarus -playdemo icarus-lv27-013 -levelstat You'll find a newly created file levelstat.txt with your time. If it existed, it will be overwritten. There is probably a dozen different ways to achieve that (what would @kraflab do?) but that's the way I check it. 1 Share this post Link to post
GoneAway Posted November 21, 2019 https://dsdarchive.com/guides/prboom_plus This might be helpful if you haven't seen it yet. I run demos using a script that uses -levelstat and then prints the file to the terminal upon exit, so when i close prboom+ it prints the time. 1 Share this post Link to post
Grazza Posted January 20, 2020 (edited) Map02 (Shuttle Bay by John Minadeo), UV Pacifist/Speed in 0:18 First released demo in this category. Note that my 0:32, listed as such at DSDA, is in fact a Stroller. Should be faster, but the monsters seem much more interested in harming each other than the player. ic02p018.zip Edited January 21, 2020 by Grazza 1 Share this post Link to post

Erick Posted May 12, 2020 These are some old UV-Max demos done throughout 2018, thought I had lost them but I managed to dig up the demos for MAP01-MAP11 in my hard drive. I think I had more but I can't seem to find them. Times: MAP01 - 2:33 MAP02 - 2:47 MAP03 - 1:31 MAP04 - 1:17 MAP05 - 2:17 MAP06 - 1:07 MAP07 - 1:57 MAP08 - 2:24 MAP09 - 2:06 MAP10 - 1:41 MAP11 - 6:52 icarus_01-11.zip 7 Share this post Link to post
Erick Posted May 17, 2020 Found the remaining UV-Max demos I've done in 2018, MAP20 was not done in -complevel 2 (don't know or remember why) so that one is excluded from here. MAP21-MAP30 never got started on, so this is basically it with Icarus for me. :) Times: MAP12 - 3:49 MAP13 - 3:58 MAP14 - 5:46 MAP15 - 2:03 MAP16 - 3:58 MAP17 - 3:47 MAP18 - 2:58 MAP19 - 3:16 MAP31 - 1:37 MAP32 - 1:18 icarus_ep2.zip 3 Share this post Link to post
