Func_Msgboard: Quake Speedruns On SDA

Posted by Stubgaard on 2009/04/05 16:55:37

I get the idea that quite a few Quake mappers love to watch speedruns on their own maps, and us speedrunners have always liked new (and old) maps to speedrun, and we've all been fairly good at supporting both communities, but I also get the idea that most mappers aren't really checking for news at SDA, at least not very often. Maybe I'm just completely wrong here, but I was thinking it was a good initiative to put a post here whenever we did an update. Just listing the map name, the mapper, and the demos without all the text that usually goes into an update on SDA. If one wants to read the entire update, one can go to the news page on SDA:

Also, a quick explanation regarding the use of "demo tags" (for those that aren't into the SDA-termology) like ER, NH, EH2, etc etc.

- ER is short for "Easy Run", meaning a pure run through any given map on skill 0 (easy) without having to kill any monsters or find any secrets.

- NH is short for "Nightmare 100%", meaning a run through any given map on skill 3 (nightmare) getting ALL kills and finding ALL secrets.

- EH2 is short for "Easy 100% 2 player", meaning a cooperative run with 2 players through any given map on skill 0 getting ALL kills and finding ALL secrets.

I think you get the picture...

New Maps + New Demos

#81 posted by Stubgaard on 2011/05/20 08:59:59

Sorry to bump this old thread, but I just wanted to mention that activity on SDA has picked up again lately, and we've had a new batch of demos and new maps (most of which has been posted here on func). We also recently added the DMC2 (Deathmatch Classics Vol. 2) which had been collection dust for nearly 7 years before Negke picked up the ante and readied it for release.

Negke: You might want to check out those 'the cheap way' runs on mappi/mappi2 :-)

Nice

Those are some cheap runs indeed. How's that even possible - some quirk in the QDQ progs? Because the changelevel triggers in the options room are all set to restart immediately without stopping at the intermission screen.

Impressive runs in this update. As usual. Some lazy tablefillers in the mappis, too - but fun to watch nevertheless. The run with the voreball jump was ace.

New QdQ Releases

This is a heads-up just to let everybody know that SDA and QdQ, against all odds, have been updated. The updates are about two "new" QdQ releases which are finally available for download in dem/pak format.

Quake done 100% Quickest - http://speeddemosarchive.com/quake/qdq/movies/qd100qst.html

I'll also take the opportunity to mention my own project which was recently released, an easy run through the "Blue Hell" episode.
