blob1024 Posted January 2, 2012 I'm unsure if I'll be at home sadly, might be out whole day ice-skating (.. yea :p ) with friends 0 Share this post Link to post
j4rio Posted January 2, 2012 hehehe, disadvantages of social life :p I probably won't be around during most of Friday as well though. 0 Share this post Link to post
cannonball Posted January 2, 2012 never done one of these before :P I should be free on Friday (though I should be revising for my synoptic exam) But hey I'm a student and I've already got a first in procrastination.... Edit - If I can get an internet connection that is :S (depends on whether my house mate installed it before I left for the holidays) 0 Share this post Link to post

Anima Zero Posted January 6, 2012 I might just give this a go. I'm up early enough anyways ;P. So...I take it everything will be provided shortly before the event begins (Archive will be passworded and said password is provided when the event starts)? 0 Share this post Link to post
Memfis Posted January 6, 2012 Anima Zero said:So...I take it everything will be provided shortly before the event begins (Archive will be passworded and said password is provided when the event starts)? Yes. You must start recording immediately after the password is provided, and send the zipped demo as soon as you finish. If you spend too much time on file operations, you'll get a penalty (+5 minutes to your time or something).

blob1024 Posted January 6, 2012 I do need only the .wad for prboom+ am i wrong? 0 Share this post Link to post
cybermind Posted January 6, 2012 yes, there is only the fdcm8.wad file. iwad doom2.wad ----------- Also remember, you can upload unfinished demos. 0 Share this post Link to post
Memfis Posted January 6, 2012 Those *.bat files are just for convenience. Of course you can write your own file or use different methods of recording (shortcut, for example), just make sure to play on UV with -complevel 9. 0 Share this post Link to post
blob1024 Posted January 6, 2012 emh going toilet, rebooting, getting out the junk, brb :p 0 Share this post Link to post
tatsurd-cacocaco Posted January 6, 2012 Yes, two invisible arch-viles in the red key zone seemed to be really tricky, but I wasn't hunted by them fortunately. 0 Share this post Link to post
blob1024 Posted January 6, 2012 gave up now. the redkey was fine for me, first I died for stupidly switching on rl, then i simply avoided the room, and died again after 15min more.. geez enuff for me, too long already ;) I sucked was easy to escape the room after picking it up anyway, but I got trapped after red room instead and died once more, so I decided to not restart 4th time. what about u? reached exit? 0 Share this post Link to post
tatsurd-cacocaco Posted January 6, 2012 I reached the exit. For me, this map is much more suitable than FDC#7's map. Thanks for a nice map. 0 Share this post Link to post
Memfis Posted January 6, 2012 My total time is 50 mins. With one death (in that red key room). 0 Share this post Link to post
blob1024 Posted January 6, 2012 argh. I should had continued probably. I bet most of players are still at it. gonna check how close to exit I was this time :) 0 Share this post Link to post
