This is a DooM .LMP "Competition" Entry - Please forward it... LV29-632.TXT LV29-632.ZIP LV29-632.LMP - Ultra Violence Recorded using Doom2 Version 1.9 Doom2 -PlayDemo with Version 1.9 Doom2 - Level 29 - The Living End Kills 100% (Items 96) Secrets 0% and Time 06:32 (Par = 05:00) ----- Description :-) It seems people don't like writing long COMPET-N text files. However I do. So if you don't want to read it, don't, but otherwise, I'll bore you to hell! I'll split this text file to comments about the different aspects of this entry as it is quite an unusual one. Comments about me ----------------- It seems I disappeared a bit from COMPET-N... I was focused on The Final DooM and Quake, sorry... Anyway I felt it's time to do this entry and that I did. This is my first try so the demo is very imperfect - I don't know the route too good and I do stupid stuff etc.. Also near the beginning two friends came, that's the pause though I ran unpause on this lmp to remove most of it. It's not even near a second so I hope it doesn't disqualify this entry. Anyway they also disturbed me in some other parts resulting in stupid mistakes. Comments about the level ------------------------ This is an awesome level, definitely my favorite in Doom2 maybe with 2 or 3 more levels. It is built really great, full of action, lots of fun and even a fun challenge. So it's not completely by chance that I picked this level. Comments about the route ------------------------ Ok, this is the main thing. I would have never beaten Daniel's excellent entry lv29-651 with this pathetic lmp that's a 1st try without this huge route improvement. What is it? you ask. Well, I use Jonathan Hoof's cyberdeath method to save about a minute from the lmp by not killing the cyberdemon and killing the same sergeant three times instead. Before you start calling me "chicken" etc., note that in dm2full.zip, my DooM 2 lmp collection, I killed the cyberdemon the way real men do it, on the platform, no skipping, no tricks, no nothing. This route is just to save time and plasma. Since this route is like pressing switches from below etc., and since levels like e2m2 have two entries - one for the normal route and one for switch-tricks, I would suggest that Daniel's entry of 6:51 will still remain 1st and this one will be counted as an alternative route, since frankly I don't think this one is better than lv29-651. If you still think I'm a chicken, watch my lv29 lmp from dm2full. Comments about the lmp ---------------------- It is not a good lmp. I don't deny it. It's the first time I played DooM today and there are some serious screwups, also the health goes up and down very quickly, which can be amusing by itself... naah. Anyway go ahead and do better than that. You won't find it difficult. Special thanks -------------- To Peo Sjoblom for bringing this level to my attention...
