QdQstlite problem

2011-01-23 11:26:42 am

I was thinking of recording the QdQstlite (former tRR) movie with the fresh retexture pack, md3 models, etc.
But when I tried to demrel the episode 1 demos, I experienced that e1m2 does NOT fit, since the player (Ken) did not pick/touch any of the two +25 health boxes near the end, therefore the player would die on e1m3.

So who's gonna redo e1m2? Smiley

Well, I recall you telling us something about your equipment not being suited for speedrunning anymore, and I'm afraid that leaves Mathias as the only proper (AND active) candidate.

Hell is where the heart is.

I'll do it. I should be able to get within 5 or 6 seconds of ken's time. :-)

Optionally redo e1m3? Isn't it likely that someone has equalled the e1m3 time already? Connor? Check your archives! My best is 33.

It all happens due to the barrelboost on e1m1. Because of that, the player finishes the first level with < 50 health which means he starts e1m2 with no more than 50. On e1m2, the player looses a sum of 10-20 (dunno exactly how much) health points and NOT picks up any health, so he - again - exits the level with sub 50 which means e1m3 is going to be started with 50 health. On e1m3, the player picks up only one 25 health box so he's gonna have 75 health, after that he produces 2 grenade jumps and ends up dying from the 2nd one... It's really this simple Smiley

Christ almighty, it's tough. I managed to leave with 100 health (take THAT stupid knight) but only got 30 seconds. Once I was pretty close to 29 but got sliced up pretty bad by said knight Sad

Still, that's better than most of us could ever dream of getting :-)

Keep trying a bit more and hopefully you'll get it.

haha, parallelly I'm working on e1m3 Smiley

Well, I'm not having the perfect equipment, but I can still play - it's not that pleasant though but I can handle it. What a freakin luck Markus had in his demo is just drives me crazy. You really don't have a chance to lure the zombie that quickly. I'll keep trying but I'm unable to do it constantly, so don't expect it soon.... (or ever :S)

Did you try using the trick from Peter's e1m3_100 with slowly sliding down the wall as a way to lure the zombie (as opposed to the way Markus - and everyone else does it)? I know it sounds easy enough on paper, but it might work for the run as well. You probably already tried since you're a seasoned speedrunner :-)

Believe it or not, I did it! Cheesy

I almost stopped playing coz I was so tired already, but I was lucky and managed to get a 32.8. This time I went for sure with the health, you'll see Smiley

Grab the demo from here

For a sec I was thinking of Peter's technique, but I'm 100% sure it is slower that way (but a lot more safe).

I still believe one could do :31 with the same quick zombie luring as Markus did in his demo. My zombie was a little slower but did the job anyways so I can't complain.
Already tested with demrel, it fits now.

Hope you're gonna enjoy it too, coz I DID Cheesy

Hey Ho Let's Go

You make it seem so easy! :-) Wonderful seeing a 2011 Joe demo, you always deliver high quality stuff. Thanks.

Maybe you could include some egg demos (like alternative routes, old demos, demos with similar times but from different runners, etc. I have quite a few in my QdQstlite folder if it's of any interest) at the end of the video after the credits? It's a fairly short video to start with anyway :-)
