Alfonzo Posted July 31, 2016 August, 2016 >>> Download Crusades <<< Leaderboard # Survived +1 [01:15:03] Ribbiks - Ribbiks rises to the challenge.

An impish end. # e4m1: Jimmy - Alrighty then. Streaming Schedule Post the time and channel at which you plan to stream and I'll link it here in the OP. Rake in an audience for your jaw-dropping, ball-bustin' ironman run. Here's an easy-to-read time zone website for ease of planning: http://everytimezone.com 16th - 20:00 CDT: 4shockblast (Countdown clock) 11th - 01:00 EDT: Jimmy (Countdown clock) What is the Doomworld Ironman League? The DWIronman League is a monthy competition in which participants aim to survive for as many levels as possible in the given mapset, preferably in one sitting. Click below for a detailed list of rules. Players of all levels of ability are welcome; it could change the way you play Doom! Spoiler One attempt per megawad/mapset. Good luck! Demos (PrBoom+ and GLBoom), stream highlights and single-take video recordings are the only accepted proofs. UV only continous; no pistol-starting. No auto-loaded wads unless they are purely cosmetic. No hard-coded cheats or features that result in behaviour beyond what is possible in the intended source port (e.g. freelook, jumping and crouching in a boom set). If streaming or recording videos using an advanced source port with compatability options, you must not enable any flags that result in behaviour beyond what is possible in the intended source port. In most cases, this will mean that you can comfortably use "Doom/Boom(strict)" behaviour in ZDoom, for example. You must also display these settings on-screen before your run. You do not have to play the secret levels in order to register a complete run. However, a player who finishes the game having completed more secret levels will rank higher than his competitors. You do not have to complete your run in a single sitting. Such runs are considered to be "hardcore" runs. For stream and video recording users, you need only load a savegame that has been shown to be set during the previous segment, and again displaying the same compatability options. For demo users, you may continue using the same recording using a save file linked in the thread alongside the demo, assuming the -complevel allows for this function (e.g. -cl 9). Otherwise, the run must be completed in a single sitting or in segments separated by forced pistol starts (mandatory death exits) and episodes. You cannot load a game having progressed past the save point. This includes "scouting ahead" for map details "just to check on something." You cannot consult Doom Builder during your run to check for map details. Your viewers may, however. If you die for any reason, tough luck! Your little brother snuck into your room while you were paused and getting tea and walked your marine into an inescapable pit? Brilliant. You went to answer the doorbell but knocked over your mug of hot chocolate and a baron ripped your arm off? Walk it off, hot stuff! You're through. If your operating system fails during the run with you having progressed beyond the most recent save point then it's a write-off, sorry! In the event that the leaders are tied having died on the same map, the player to have arrived at the map of death in the fastest time will be deemed the winner.

Alfonzo Posted July 31, 2016 The mapset gets revealed (and the OP updated) with the inaugural stream in 20 minutes time.

Alfonzo Posted August 1, 2016 Okay, so Jimmy's stream went kablooey before it even got underway. Apparently he died, but there's no evidence of it and as far as I'm concerned the viewing experience of a stream is more important than the legitimacy of the run itself. We did not get a viewing experience, in this instance; we got a slideshow. I'm introducing a new clause in the rule set. If you're streaming your run having scheduled in advance the time and place (i.e. it's up in the OP, a "sanctioned stream") you are entitled to begin your stream and run again assuming all of the following conditions: No more than 20 minutes have elapsed There's no indication that you've died You're dropping frames like a museum curator with parkinson's and have been for most of those 20 minutes (I'll have to talk to a techspert to see if we can't agree on a figure) You haven't restarted before.Feedback is appreciated, and any other suggestions are welcome, too! 0 Share this post Link to post
Havoc Crow Posted August 1, 2016 Crusades? Never heard of it. It's a Ultimate Doom wad, which at least means that no Revenants are going to mess up my game. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/89415187/DWIronman2_JudgeDeadd.lmp (prboom+ -cl9) E4M2. Everything was going so (relatively) well, then a surprise cacodemon stabbed me in the back, and a lost soul got me while I was trying to get out of the pincers. 0 Share this post Link to post
Altazimuth Posted August 1, 2016 Well my first demo was cut short by an accidental MDK (so I've unbound that), but here's my second attempt, which may desync due to accidental console opening (I recorded after that point though). This was using -vanilla on Eternity. I will note that I personally advise going to the secret level (which I managed to find mostly by luck). http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=15451795284653388207 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hUxrRQFuP4 Cause of death: 5 is not 6, rockets are not plasma, dead enemies should not mean dead me. 0 Share this post Link to post
Alfonzo Posted August 1, 2016 The 'tube video makes for a nerve-racking watch, Altaz. Dropping into the BK pit and shooting expectantly at the walls - yikes! Where did the MDK occur? I've pre-emptively put the run up on the board but I can't get too lenient in allowing for second runs when these sorts of slip-ups happen. EDIT: Whoops, I just checked out the demo. Sans the secret level running time, which only gets re-added if you survive the set, you reached e4m5 ~30 seconds before I did. That puts you on top of the board. Couldn't even hold onto top spot for a day :( 0 Share this post Link to post
Tristan Posted August 1, 2016 Just done my run, video will be up later. All I'll say for now is... 2016-08-01 12:54:50 <Hyperion> lost souls can fuck right off Spoiler .mid 0 Share this post Link to post
thaquoth Posted August 1, 2016 Aight. Thought this might be fun to partake in. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTKF5841Ues Died most gracelessly in E4M2. Ran like a headless chicken at the mere sight of a cacodemon into the welcoming arms of a few shotgunners who happily proceeded to perforate me. Let this be testament to my shame. Edit: also I seem to have bonked up the audio on the video. Dang. Well, you can imagine the sound effects I suppose. 0 Share this post Link to post
Alfonzo Posted August 1, 2016 Great to have another voice on board - welcome, thaquoth! You needn't worry about any accidental jumps or crouches or anything; I like to blab about rules but that level of harshness is probably beyond me. Hopefully we'll see you around in the coming months. And hopefully having survived a bit longer as well ;) 0 Share this post Link to post

Archi Posted August 1, 2016 I can't find past broadcast, so, I guess, stream was off all the time while it still was laggy to play. Here's a demo: http://www.mediafire.com/download/x2ns4ck262we2lv/ironman_crusades_arch.lmp What could be worse than this death at e4m5? 0 Share this post Link to post
Tristan Posted August 1, 2016 Okay, here's my video. Died on E4M3 to a swarm of lost souls (segment starts at 24:29). Where was the chaingun ammo D: Also it's only in 360p, because this video is kinda long, and my net speed is shockingly bad. Although I got past the point of Alfonzo's "rumble in the jungle" where I expected to die, I'm still kinda disappointed. Probably beating E4M2 made me overestimate myself. Never got to take on Keith, heh. It's also quite a wonder I got this far though. Some other key moments in the video would be a rocket at 12:25 that could've gone horribly badly had I fired a second later. Everything should have ended at 17:10, and 23:10 shows a very rare case of RNG actually working in my favour. Twice. Well, that's that for another month. Maybe next time I'll include real commentary rather than occasionally typing something. 0 Share this post Link to post

I've pre-emptively put the run up on the board but I can't get too lenient in allowing for second runs when these sorts of slip-ups happen. It was during E4M3, on a run which I failed to go to the secret level on (I failed to chance upon the level). It was on a cacodemon (it was bound on middle mouse button). EDIT: I would have given another try today but noticed a bug in Eternity so spent the day fussing other that with Quasar instead and now it's too late to start an attempt that I'd plan on finishing. Heh. 0 Share this post Link to post
