eargosedown Posted May 19, 2009 My first ever attempt at recording a speedrun. I'm a bit slow, but I'm still learning to strafe 50. Game: Doom2 Map01 Skill: Nightmare Speed Kills 7% Items 0% Secrets 0% Time 7 Port: Legacy Doom 1.42 Any input would be great. Thanks for watching ^^map01nm_07.zip 0 Share this post Link to post
r_rr Posted May 19, 2009 Not too shabby. For some reason "lmpdet" says the .lmp is bad (I wanted to see how much you strafed), but the demo plays fine in Legacy 1.42 :D 0 Share this post Link to post

eargosedown Posted May 20, 2009 After around 40 attempts or so, I came to the conclusion that having never used strafe 50 before, there was no way in hell (no pun intended) I was going to be able to do it for this map yet. Luckily, toying around in -nomonster mode, I managed to hit 6 seconds with just standard strafe. Another 60+ attempts later, and I managed a 6 second run in Nightmare :D Skill: Nightmare Speed Kills 7% Items 0% Secrets 0% Time 6 Port: Legacy Doom 1.42 I'm honestly not sure if I can do it better. I feel I might have missed a few points of a second on the strafe of the big room (Maybe .3-.5 at most) so there's grounds for improvement. I also snagged for a split second on the final imp. I do feel that I can hit 5 seconds if I learn the strafe 50 well enough though. My question now is; Is a run of less then 5 seconds even plausable? Couldn't find anything on the Doom wiki saying either way.map01nm_06.zip 0 Share this post Link to post
AdamW Posted May 20, 2009 there was a built, nomonsters 0:04 demo, IIRC, but it's extremely unlikely to be physically possible for a human to do that, and I think the monster layout without nomonsters is such that 0:04 is literally impossible. it's listed in the table at http://www.doomworld.com/sda/tas/, doesn't seem to be downloadable though. I no longer have a copy. 0 Share this post Link to post
xit-vono Posted May 20, 2009 Actually 4 is possible with monsters as there is a TAS demo here somewhere. It uses st50 on turns, which is a kind of cheating, but I don't think that makes much of a difference, so it should be theoretically possible otherwise. With human play it is of course unattainable. 0 Share this post Link to post
AdamW Posted May 20, 2009 ah, ok, I didn't know anyone had done a built monsters run. 0 Share this post Link to post

eargosedown Posted May 20, 2009 Thanks for the replies fellas! Glad to know I don't have to spend countless hours awake trying to get a 4 in :P 0 Share this post Link to post

eargosedown Posted July 11, 2009 Well, little bit of an update (Not that anyone really cares....) But I was able to hit 5 seconds in -nomonsters, without strafe50. I'm wondering if I can wallslide along that wall but I don't think it's N/S facing.nomonsters_map01.zip 0 Share this post Link to post
