Dr. Zin Posted January 7, 2007 I know there was talk about doing some demos for the Doom Advent Calender 2005. Did that ever happen? 0 Share this post Link to post
myk Posted January 7, 2007 There are some here. Also one more here, of DAC 13. Not sure if there are any more yet. 0 Share this post Link to post
Grazza Posted January 7, 2007 I don't know of any others beyond those. I'd guess that it didn't prove popular for recording for several reasons: never merged into a single wad, several compatibility issues (some "Zdoomisms", for instance) that were never resolved (or that would be difficult to resolve), and some maps that weren't very playable from a pistol start. Those issues would have made a demo pack at the very least fiddly to arrange. That's not to say that more individual demos wouldn't be welcome, of course. 0 Share this post Link to post
Dr. Zin Posted January 7, 2007 While DAC is being discussed, the current version of my DAC7 map in the archives has a bug that was fixed. Can I just upload the correct version with a note to Halderman to replace the current file? 0 Share this post Link to post

You should tell there which file is being updated. 0 Share this post Link to post
RjY Posted January 8, 2007 Yeah Opulent did 13 and I did 11, 12 and 17. There's also a thread where Opulent, Grazza and Kristian tear 19 to pieces but that was a year before it became DAC19 so I don't know if that counts :) I wanted to do more DAC demos e.g. 3, 15, 20, 24 but, well, you know how it is. You try to play maps aggressively enough to make a decent-looking demo but you keep dying. If you play defensively enough to beat the map, you end up with a demo that's too dull to watch. PS Good to hear we're finally getting the fixed version of 7 0 Share this post Link to post
Kristian Ronge Posted January 8, 2007 Thanks for reminding me of those runs. :-) (although I would rather not have been reminded of that unbelievably daft accidental automated strafe50 thing) I played around with that speedvilla map again, and did: UV reality max in 0:56 UV max in 0:51 A very pleasant and nostalgic session! :-D 0 Share this post Link to post
