Chex Quest Chex Quest 2 I've made a couple of demos for Chex Quest Skill 4 (the original). I recorded these using fraggle's "chocolate-chex" chocolate doom, and they work correctly in the original dos Chex Quest (at least, the first did, and I assume the second does). They're available at http://ler.belsambar.net/chex/ and I'll probably upload more. I keep dying on level 3 :(. I'm sure it has something to do with my route or probably I just need to dodge more. FYI, the "pars" in chocolate-chex are incorrect: they're based on Doom's, while the original chex.exe has its own pars. I have a feeling this won't be fixed due to fraggle saying he's not going to have "native" support of Chex Quest. Edit: Uploaded a Level 3 run. Not the best, I almost die at the end. Edit 2: Now there's a Level 4 run. Don't know how I remembered how to get out of the maze. Edit 3: There's a Level 5 run up, but I don't know the time and don't have a utility to get it. Level 5 is funny because you can skip pretty much the entire level. Edit 4: Now I've got a movie at 4:50. I waste a good bit of time though. I think I might try Chex 2.

I'm running into a different strange bug while trying to record my full hub playthrough. I will get through the first level fine with -demoextend on and then on the second level I am immediately killed by an unknown damage source. This seems to be a Chocolate Hexen 3.0.0 specific bug as I tried it with Hexen-Plus and it seemed to be fine, so I may be switching to that, which has its own share of problems as I can't figure out how to get full turning radius in dosbox on my setup while in fullscreen. It's especially strange because when I play the demo I record back it just shows me standing there unharmed at the level start.

What a bizarre bug! I only ran into it while recording as mage. I also had a similar bug where the lever to activate the pillar puzzle wouldn't show itself even after killing all the monsters in the area. I wonder what causes it?

I'm still playing through it but I wanted to mention that I dislike using the switch with the arrowburst design for regular switches, and think that should be the exit switch texture instead of the regular side lever.

Shadows of Chronos MAP01 Skill 4 Speed Fighter in 1:59 Chocolate Hexen 3.0.0 used I went back and shaved 30 seconds off easily. Thanks again PVS for giving me a good timing method. It might be a bit but I'm gonna try and do a full game demo now. kf01-0159.zip

I was playing casually on the first level and decided to do a demo of it. GZDoom 4.3.3. I'm gonna play through the rest of the mod but I thought this was fun. h2hf11-011.zip

The only maps you could feasibly do separate maps for are MAP01 and MAP04, but there might not be enough firepower for MAP04 to be interesting. The hub itself is very interconnected so it's not possible to do very much on a single map trip. I used Chocolate Hexen 3.0.0 linux build. When I get access to a Windows pc I'll try that program. Edit: Also I can't get the demos on that site, how would I get them?

Shadows of Chronos MAP01 Skill 4 Fighter Speed in 2:31 Should be vanilla compatible but I used Chocolate-Hexen specifically. This is my favorite Hexen map set and I couldn't find any demos of it, so I decided to make one of my own. I eventually want to make a full hub run but I kinda suck and it's actually a pretty hard hub, so I'll start with some MAP01 stuff. I timed this using my phone's stop watch unfortunately. Is there a tool to generate a time from a demo? Hexen doesn't have intermission screen times. kf01-0231.zip

Cute, enjoyable

https://www.twitch.tv/laura809/ this month's ironman challenge on stream!

Here's the highlight for my official run, to make sure it's up for a while since I don't have a demo for it.

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/320738102 https://www.dropbox.com/s/xatx1z1tncypki6/d64d2im.lmp?dl=0 Category 3. Got to Map 6. Very sloppy run, after a very sloppy attempt at a category 2 lol.

I'm playing on GZDoom 3.2.1 (been lazy on updating) with no vertical mouse look and the Final Doom hud (because it looks so nice). UV Fast Monsters, no mid level saves. Map 01: Good intro + nods to old MAP01 stuff, very straightforward. That start is kinda tricky on fast with all the hitscanners but thankfully you start behind the shotgunners so you can get them to infight a bit. Map 02: Wooo this is tight corridor stuff. In the sinking water room I ran into the trap of falling in the middle of it and then you can't actually go inbetween the pillars. The semihidden arrow pointing towards mandatory objectives were a little silly, and the bit with the lift to get to the ledges in the main area was kinda annoying if you fell off, but overall interesting level. Probably gonna do map 3 later because I was giving it some attempts and it was kicking my butt and it's like 1 in the morning lol.

https://www.twitch.tv/laura809 finishing dtwid uv max, then who knows

about to play Doom the Way iD Did on UV Fast since I failed Ironman challenge badly lol. https://www.twitch.tv/laura809

Well I tried to do this anyway. I streamed my attempt but game audio didn't record for some reason, also made a demo. I ran into a pretty dumb death that I'm not happy about.

I like castles. They don't have to be hell castles, like a good ol' abandoned European style castle.

I wanna like this mod but is there a way to remove the shards from enemies that explode causing damage? I don't think it's a very fun source of difficulty as it's easy to just randomly run into it or not even see a floating ice shard and get bopped by it. Also, is there a description of what the difficulty levels do anywhere? I checked this post and the readme but I can't seem to see it.
