Found a glide-rich WAD called Armadosia recently. I have demos for two maps so far: 1.) MAP11 nomo in 2:42.89 2.) MAP31 nomo in 10.51 ar11o242.zip ar31o010.zip

1monster MAP17 nomo in 2:16.71. 1m17o216.zip

Thank you! I'd like to improve it and see the glides go a bit faster, but that's for another day. :)

Vile MAP26 nomo in 2:29.83. A curious case where a north guideless glide seems easier than a south guideless glide. vi26o229.zip

2 new nomo demos: 1.) Xenomorph Base MAP01 in 43.97. Slight route change. 2.) Sunder MAP03 in 1:22.31. Uses the south and north guideless glides, plus the YK RJ. db01o043.zip su03o122.zip

Cool demo, Grazza! I'll look at this map for my next demo. Stardate (stardate20x6.wad by Ribbiks) MAP03 nomo in 56.80. st03o056.zip

More gliding. Cchest4 MAP17 nomo in 1:17.89. c417o117.zip

That's exactly how I do it. In my demos, you'll usually see me get close to the gap (a little to the right, where when I press forward, I'm at the exact angle I need to be and move slightly left). Once I'm at that point, I grab the mouse and get to the pixel-perfect position I need to be at (if I'm going south, east, or north). West glides are so easy that I can just keep pressing the mouse forward and I'll go through automatically (unless when I set up, I managed to be too far to the left from the start). For west glides, the only thing I need to worry about is setting myself up and getting close enough to the gap without it being too slow (c410o201 is a bad example of this--I had a pretty slow setup. cc27o158 has better west glides). South, east, and north are a bit more annoying (especially east and north) because I don't automatically go through as I'm moving the mouse. I either have to move it really slowly to nearly guarantee getting through (which obviously takes too much time in a demo) or just hope I get lucky enough that my position lines up exactly with the gliding gap as I'm moving the mouse forward so I can go through. That's why c410o201 was so annoying--it featured an east glide that wasn't right at the beginning of the run/the only real thing I had to worry about going right. Take it from a natural keyboarder who learned how to do guideless glides really late in the game compared to other speedrunners, haha. Thank you! I really appreciate that, though I must say there are a lot of speedrunners who have much greater skill than I.

Thanks! I actually do use vertical mouse movement to glide, but the positioning is all done with the keyboard.

Cchest4 MAP10 in 2:01.94. Shows the double-glide route. c410o201.zip

Community Chest (1) MAP16 in 27.37. Much better setup/faster glide in this one. cc16o027.zip

Understood, Grazza. I'm sorry if I came off as impolite in any way. Here's another demo with more glides. This one doesn't have any past demos except for UV-Maxes on DSDA, so this route is probably original. (Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.) Cchest (1) MAP27 nomo in 1:58.94. cc27o158.zip

Oh nice, I didn't even notice that demo was on DSDA when I was looking at Vile.wad. I'll definitely have to try it again like that. I found the last glide not to be terrible with vertical mouse movement, though I agree that it's a bit awkward (referencing your textfile). In the meantime, the glide saga continues. Cchest (1) MAP16 nomo in 37.97. (If someone wants to take a crack at improving it, see my textfile for details.) cc16o037.zip
