DSDA / TAS demosite updates.

[Opulent]

The DSDA and TAS sites are updated with.. um, demos. :)
DSDA -- http://www.doomworld.com/sda/doom_sda.htm
TAS -- http://www.doomworld.com/sda/tas_dsda.htm

Lots of action by Grazza (from this board actually) this time around. Although there is quite a varied mix of demos by Grazza (and most are worth your time for sure), the real highlights in this update are Ragnew blasting through Zarcyb's quality Tremor map and Altima's action-filled slaughter maxdemo on Hr2 Map32.

TAS has new demos by Vile, Grazza, and a special Iwad demo by Ronge that you shouldn't miss.

Lastly, I have compiled what I think is a complete listing of all the players at the DSDA on this page: http://www.doomworld.com/sda/players/players.htm
Here http://www.doomworld.com/sda/players/template.htm is a template that you can follow if desired... remember the page is YOURS, so you can have whatever you wish on there (within Telefragged legal guidelines).
I suppose someone needs to be brave and go first...

[Vile]

Hehe, you had me wondering briefly about that TAS contribution because I thought the SDA already updated with it. It was the TAS site though...

Interesting contribution by Casey, since he has hardly shown up on IRC and not at all on the Compet-N FTP, so seeing him in action again is surprising (despite the month old timestamp on those files).

On a misc. note.... curiously enough, Rich Sham hasn't posted for about half a year now. I wonder if he's alright, considering his age.

[Opulent]

I hope Rich is doing well. He only plays for fun... shows great support for other people's projects. We need another Bndaly map to bring those guys around again... :)

He's mentioned here as having recorded a demo on Reanimated, a map released in June. He has visited DW recently too, but just not posted. It would be nice to hear from him directly though.

[Ryback]

I'm sad: there's no demos from me in that update. There'll definitely be some in the next one though...

Anyway, off to watch HR232.

[Kristian Ronge]

Awesome! Simply awesome... I love updates. That H232 ruled, BTW. It's very fast, okay, so it's slower than Vile -- because Vile's from another planet :-) -- but still very impressive.

EDIT: Oh, and Drew... Casey did make a submission to the COMPET-N (though a while back, July 31st). :-/

[cycloid]

ok, i'll have a go at the template despite only ever doing about 4 demos, heh. oh and op. your "keybinding" comment line makes no sense at all, it's just a list of keys!

it was taken from my Compet-n profile. it is WASD for me. (I use the four bottom-left keys (sans Win95key) for movement)
thanks for the profile.

Strange news... I thought this sites updated once a year.
Opulent: HA! :)

[Ryback]

Sent a demo to Opulent. Hopefully someone can improve it later.

Nice update! Time to stare at Doom for a while. Would love to see some Nilla demos though... ;)

Tools-Assisted attempt.

Easy route. Ten minutes with 50% slowmo and one save point. It should be easy for non-tas demo.

[Erik]

yep, I already made a h232 speedrun on that route, though I grabbed the invuln too. The time was somewhere around :29 I think.

I have a look at it.

[Rich]

Hello. :)

For the most part I am doing fine. I do appreciate the interest and thank those who inquired about me.


Best regards,

Rich

[Opulent]

Glad to hear you're okay, Rich.
