There is no victory without combat

Anybody interested in a Speedrun to the Good'ol Starbreeze Game Enclave? Its kinda Hack'n'Slay, very nice Gameplay and fine leveldesign. Just playin it right now, and I realized it would be nice to speedrun. So, if some people are interested, i will try it, if not I won't (kinda much work...)
btw, here is a link to the official Homepage Section for Enclave at the Starbreeze HP: http://www.starbreeze.com/enclave.jsp .

Good luck if you trying this. I have tried some practice run before, and I had difficulties to finish level when I'm taking my time. But it would be really interesting to see a speedrun of Enclave.

Run like hell!

I would like to see this run on both the good, and the evil campaign.
I think, this will be a tough run, even on the easy difficulty, because you need to collect gems in order to buy not only better armours, but better equipments and weapons, staffs...

First, go for it!

Unfortunately Enclave was a much underrated game when it was first released. It is that sort of classic hack'n'slay that is simply fun to play, but also has some sort of strategic edge due to its character classes with different abilities.

The first levels are not too hard to play, but in the end it's gonna be a tough one. Wish you luck for it!

If you have some work in progress, I would love to see it. Do you already have a server where you can put the files (e.g. youtube, filezone, etc.)?

There is no victory without combat

After some experiments I decided to start asap, first I need to get a capture Program running (I think FRAPS will fit) and then I start capturing the first levels and look for a Server to host, so ya folks have something to watch... Grin

But youre right, its difficult cause of the different character classes and the very rewarding Secret System (the money found in secrets is used to buy new weapons and items and such, for the ones who doesnt know), so it will take its Time, especially the Dark Campaign, which is far more difficult than the light campaign. I am still thinking about gettin in the Bonus Levels (the Survival and frenzy levels) to earn some extra cash, but they are far too random with their spawnpoints n stuff, so i think i will skip them entirely. But we we'll see...

When I have the first captures ya will be the first one to know

Run like hell!

I think the spawn points are not random, if i remember exactly. Every creature pop up in the same place, when you play the same level multiple times, if i remember correctly. Only their moves are random, if you disturb them.
Maybe the wizard, druid, or sorceress classes are the quickest way to complete the game, because they are only need a decent staff (or two).

The run, where somebody collect all gold and gems, would be also interesting. Smiley

I will think about a 100% Gold Run when i finally FIND all Gold, its partially very good hidden. Overall I found 80% I guess, but the last 20%...at least I know where all the secret Maps are...

I have collected all gold in both campaigns.
If you need help finding them, I ready to help you.

There is no victory without combat

Thx for your offer, in time i will contact you, if i try the 100%, which will be a long run, because many Monsters have Gold in their pockets, so all of them have to die, and sometimes there are widely scattered... .

btw, I have THEORETICALLY finished a Video with Mission 1 and 2, but I am still fighting with this f****d up CamTasia. FRAPS didn't work, and I think about trying Hypersnap...but i really dont know anyone who ever used it. Okay, I used it 7 years ago for some Screenshots, but that was for Red Alert and in Windows 95.
Back to topic, i would throw the vid on a server, but in the moment its uncompressed, I will code it this night. If tomorrow it is acceptable, its as good as on a mirror.

P.S.: I thought about mixing a second audiotrack with my commentary for the run. TSA wrote that he would have loved to do this for Zelda Ocarina of Time, but hadnt the chance to. I would like to hear your thoughts about that, and I can say one thing for sure: my Comments for the Run will be looooong. look for example the Comments of Indiana Jones and the Emperors Tomb, I think in this direction... =)

Mixing the audio with your comments is a good idea. Cheesy

The perfect process would be when you run, and meanwhile recording your comment. Smiley

Sounds interesting, but while Speedrunning i would be far too concentrated on the Game, so i would brabble even more crap than I normally do...
And English isnt my native tongue, I need some concentration on that too.

HELL!
Hypercam is crap, FRAPS still won't work (although I used all the SDA knowledge base), and CamTasia slows my System back to the Middle-Age. When I find a solution I will post some of my stuff.

I now must play some Twilight Princess on my Wii to calm down again.

Why doesn't Fraps work exactly?

qaylIS

2007-01-22 10:46:51 am

There is no victory without combat

Fraps doesn't work cause I had the demoversion on my system and then got some full Version installed, and nothing goes. I used all the tricks in the SDA Forum, like using regmon to find the specific registry entries, or a fix for the registry and so on, but no go... .

btw, i managed to have some tactics for the frist Campaign, its more easy than I thought. The second Campaign however is a hard piece to chunk. But I just went through Level 9, and I look now how I get the next one, cause 11 and 12 are easy, but 10 looks bad...

2007-01-22 12:13:03 pm

There is no victory without combat

So, 10 is theoretically finished. And after I saw the Name of Level 11, I realized I forgot this Level completely, so 12 and 13 are easy, but 10 and 11 are ther hardest in this Game. But my Tactics for 11 are now finished and so its theoretically be done.

Back to the problem: I will look if I find a solution with these Problems. I get CamTasia run without killing my RAM, or I will ask a friend, who has a well running PC.

Gimme a Month max and the Run has been submitted...

Okay okay, maybe more than one Month =)...but I now have a possibility for Recording, just a matter of time. So you people, just wait a bit please... =)

Okay, now I have enough verifyers, so is started uploading. It is coming in the next few weeks i hope, so stay tuned... ;D.

Yeah, and listen to the audio comment (more info when the run is online). Shocked

I'm downloading this one as soon as I see it. (I've already tried to plan a speedrun of this game, but I had a hardtime doing a normal run of the game, so I gave up).

If you read this thread completely, you should have seen, that I intended to make some Audio commentary for my run.
After all I did, but not appended on the file as a second audiotrack, its just an mp3 file you can hear while watching the run. Cause this is first time made on SDA, I will start a Topic for Discussion about if runners should do this more often, or if this is just a waste of time. It will be on the General Discussion topic, I will start it when the run is veryfied and uploaded. The Link will be postet here:

2007-05-27 06:30:47 pm

What are Radix/Nate/Mike point of view about Audio commentary? They wish to try it with your run? or you just sent it without really telling them?
