Miscellaneous demos (part 1) [please post in part 3 instead]

I think I didn't split demos for 2002ADO last time because some posts got mixed up with other stuff. Keep in mind you are always free to make a thread for any WAD that has potential for many demos, even if some demos for that WAD have already been posted here. Later a mod may possibly move previous ones to the new thread.

Nice run, what do you think of the new monsters sounds?
Hmmmm........I see if I can do a little Eternal Doom or NDMU next week.

Trying to continue the serie of amazing WADs with little demo "coverage"... Unfortunately, I did not find anything spectacular from 1999. And no, I don´t feel like recording for Batman Doom. Aby suggestions?

fracture MAP03 UV Max, 2:28, MAP05 UV Max 4:01
The Inner Gateway UV Max 4:20

These are very good WADs, but as I said, it is unlikely they will blow your mind. innrgate is by Ben Davies, author of MAP11 from darken2. Fracture is a 5-map episode with very nicely executed industrial theme... and wayyyy too many seargeants

My demo was a 1st or 2nd exit. Under 10mins is achievable I think.

The Green Herring's record is hard to get close. :(

How about Killzone 2?

Or you could try Herian 2. You'll need to check the MAPINFO lump to see which maps are Zdoom-only - some of them use monster death triggers, but I think that's all. It would be a voyage of discovery though.

Face the Pit by Brian Dean
Map03 NM Pacifist in 1:25

Featuring:

• A glide into the void
  
• Wrapping around the void to reach the other side of the map (only way to reach the exit as far as I can tell)
  
• Damage taken when at the "seam" of the void via telescratching (from monsters that had been dormant up to that point)
  
• Exit switch press from the void

Map03 NM Pacifist in 1:25

cool! i've been experimenting with some maps to get such a demo, but every time one of the steps (void glide, void geometry, exit switch sniping) just didn't work for me. the wraparound scratching is funny.

Icarus map20 (one of my favourite maps) has been the most heartbreaking for me in that respect. Several places to make the glide, but no way to reach the exit from any of them.

I guess the difference between NM and UV is for a simple enough reason: you are only very briefly regarded by the engine as being in the same sector as certain monsters, so if they don't attack on sight, they miss their chance.

That goes straight to the top of my personal favorite demos list. Am I weird?

Well, if you are weird, then I'm a goddamnweirdo since I find that demo simply amazing.

Whispers of Satan map01 Speedrun 1:06.

This map sucks for speedrun.

I'd be interested to see that list! I'm guessing it contains a lot of demos where very odd things happened?

I'm glad you like it, but it's not a hard-worked demo, or one that required much skill. Of course, it took a lot of searching for a wad where it could be done. So you can view this either as a 30-minute effort or a >100-hour effort.

What about making a map(s) with void tricks in mind? Grazza and dew, have you guys made maps before?

bare basics, it'd be return to 1994 in my case. :)

Grazza said:

No, not really. The whole concept of void and going "around the universe" (multiverse since there are many maps?) just simply blew my mind. It's more of the idea than the demo itself, so the effort put on it is a moot point.

Yeah, I'm easily entertained :P

Dammit. I now remember something like that, but I probably never watched it.

Nothing beyond farting about with existing maps, or very simple things to test stuff or to achieve some particular effect.

But it's quite easy to create places where the player can break in or out of the map, and offer exits that can be triggered from outside. The tricky thing is understanding what blocks player movement in the void. Clearly it is due to height differences from the map's sectors somehow propagating out into the void, but what causes the engine to decide which ones do so and how, is not, as far as I know, very well understood. If someone added a port option to have the engine render these pseudo-sectors, then it might be easier to gain an understanding of this.

True, but that required either a deh patch or a special map earlier to make the player a zombie.

My guess that it's determined by nodes.

Would be cool if so, I suck at optimising short runs. :)

LOL you just can't quit this wad, can you? ;)

When I recorded stuff for this back then, I felt it was as good as it gets. Eh, now it actually feels quite the opposite.

I can't read your demos with vanilla doom, idk why :/

Too bad, wanted to give those maps a try!
