Quote from djcj:

I did a speedrun of "TYS - Test Your Skill" on hard difficulty in 5:16.
I started timing when I got control and stopped when I reached that teleporter at the end of the game.
And I used hlspbunny (or rather the hlspbunny dll files) because of the conveniant autorecord function.

I uploaded the file on my site: http://stefansundin.com/TYS_516_djcj.mp4

I got this domain and hosting for at least 2 years, so if anyone want to host a file (related to speedrunning and not too large), let me know and I'll see what I can do.

here you go

I improved my TYS run by 30 seconds using scripts. I'll upload it soon.

BTW, I see that Zhouy uploaded some of the runs on GV and YT:

Bootleg Squadrog done at 04:49 by Zhouy
ETC done at 6.30 by Zhouy at easy skill
Peaces Like Us done at 15.48 by Zhouy at easy skill
Sweet Half-Life done at 25:03 by Dark_Devil and Zhouy at normal skill part 1 | part 2 | part 3
Sweet Half-Life done at 30:34 by Dark_Devil and Zhouy at normal skill

Just wanted to mention it, since most Filefront links on the front page are down.

Got my mirror up too: http://stefansundin.com/TYS_446_djcj.mp4
I might reorganize the files I got there later, so if this gives you a 404 just browse to http://stefansundin.com/ and you'll probably be able to find the file pretty easily.

I have make a speedrun through the mod "Todesangst" easy skill in 9:41
The cut-scenes are excluded both from time and video.

It's not perfect and I know some easily improvements, but im pretty satisfied anyway.

Editing of the video is poor, can someone give me some tips how to make mapchanges smoother?

I have also created a script to allow you guys to upload the files yourself, but I will still need to approve them before they appear. The only thing I haven't figured out is how to change Dreamhost's upload limit from 7 MB. Will do that tomorrow though.
So in the future you will be able to upload your files here: http://stefansundin.com/speedruns/upload.php

Regarding recording of the videos. I usually record with Fraps, recording it all in one file with the console command "startdemos demo1 demo2 demo3 ...". I then load that file in AviSynth, remove the frames which appear when half-life changes demo file etc. I noticed you use the non-steam version, I think there's a command which makes the console go away much faster.

To make youtube offer the high quality option, your video must be at least 640x480 at 24fps. HD requires 1280x720 at 24fps.
You should really try to record at least 640x480 at 24fps, it makes all the difference in the world over at youtube.
Also, when you upload to youtube, be sure to encode with the best settings you possibly can (the file will be large but you will get better quality).

Thanks Recover!

I recorded with fraps one demo at time.
I've tried "startdemos demo1 demo2 demo3 ..." but when the demo reaches a "loading" the game crashes on almost every demo.

Then, how do i save directly after a "loading"?

Thanks again : )
recover swe?

ReCover

2009-02-06 06:33:04 am

No problems, anytime.

That's weird, maybe there's some bug. I have only done it on Steam.
By "save", do you mean record? With hlspbunny you can just use sv_autorecord which works great!

Yep, I'm swe Smiley

By the way, I have increased the upload limit to 150 MB which should be enough. Feel free to upload your speedruns and I will provide hosting. As soon as you have uploaded you will receive a link which will be where the run will be hosted if I approve it. The approve thingie is only meant to prevent abuse. If your file is speedrun related I will most likely approve it right away.
You can browse uploaded files here: http://stefansundin.com/speedruns/

I have uploaded my Populous speedrun files and my half-life: uplink run (they are all on youtube also).

I mean "quicksave" in the begining of a new map, the point wich i start next demo from.

Like if I bhop fast into next map I loose some parts between the loading and the quicksave.
And that looks bad and total time incorrect.

If it shows up in your gamelist, everything seems to be ok.

It should look like:
c:/Program Files/Steam/MySteamAcc/Half-Life/hlspbunny

@tekknej: Poke646 is re-uploaded on the first page.

My new Case closed run is also in the list.

By the way, do you think I can use a diagonal push to get over that acid at 2:22?

I think it's possible with a bhop on a tripmine.
But anyway, you need another box on your second path.

Hey. I'm thinking of a Half-Life 1 speedrun, and i want to test Blake's scripts, and i don't actually know where to put them. So if someone would be so kind and tell me 'step-by-step' where to put the scripts.

Thanks.

I'll give it a try Wink

You have to put your scripts in a config-file (.cfg)
you can find your config at your valve folder
ex: D:\Games\Half-Life\valve

all your binds and settings are in config.cfg, but you dont wanna mess with it.
so make a new .cfg file and name it to: userconfig.cfg or autoexec.cfg at same place as the config.cfg

in it you paste your scripts ect.
ex:
//bhop
alias +bhop "+jump;wait;-jump;wait;+jump;wait;-jump;wait;+jump;wait;-jump;wait;+jump;wait;-jump;wait;+jump"
alias -bhop "-jump"

then you have to bind a key to your script/alias (spider didnt leave his keys)
say you wanna bhop with space
in this case: bind "SPACE" "+bhop"

so it would look like this in your userconfig:
//bhop
alias +bhop "+jump;wait;-jump;wait;+jump;wait;-jump;wait;+jump;wait;-jump;wait;+jump;wait;-jump;wait;+jump"
alias -bhop "-jump"

bind "SPACE" "+bhop"

-----

If you wanna try this script:

//grenade jump straight up
alias nj "+use;-forward;-moveleft;-moveright;+lookdown;w;-attack;-lookdown;-use;w;force_centerview;w;w;w;w;w;w;w;w;+duck;+jump;w;-jump;use weapon_m249;ww;-duck"

bind "KEY" "nj"
