That was a nice vid, too bad the demos weren't run through a program to make them match. I kind of like the faster play, with no pausing between levels and episodes.

Yeah I prefer that too, it keeps the flow.

I'd really like to improve one of those demos that can be improved, I'm just not sure if I can just yet, or if I want to put in the training to get there.

some of the levels can cut a second with better execution, but I think there's some whole new strats that could save time too.

Hey guys. At this point I think it should just be rendered to video. I think it's very doubtful the current state of the run will be further improved in the future. It's simply too much work to practice to the point where you can be on par with these monstrously good runs. Just look at the tables: there are even some old Markus Taipale runs in there that nobody was able to improve on.

EDIT: unless some of the active Quake players are still interested in working on this, which I somehow doubt considering the last update is from 2006.

In all likeliness, this is as far as the Quake community could go. 11:30 is quite respectable. Smiley

I've actually been meaning to make a video of the runs. I've done some before, a few years back. Just gotta dig up the old demo modification programs. I'm thinking I'll render a HD version with JoeQuake using mostly "normal" graphics settings (except for things like anti-aliasing since that GREATLY improves the compression).

I would try to improve if I could get my mouse to work in quake.

(i am still astonished that there is still so much space to improve this game.) stupid question, but is it possible to download quake versions legal for free (like gta2 if you remember)? e.g. quake version you use here and others? btw which version do you play exactly?

We're still not too sure on this.

Definitely Free: source code, map source
Probably Not: textures, models, sounds

Also, it is still possible to buy Quake on Steam and probably other platforms as well. So we can't assume it's fine to rip it off. Then again, they probably won't care. Plus it gives them kickass publicity Grin

"it is still possible to buy Quake on Steam"
- well in the store it's not available :/. But it's okay, we play on lan quake 3 arena and now i started to play quakelive beta... well i am a nub in quake. but i played ut so i know the basics and how the game works. are here some people who play quakelive beta? it would be funny to make some "SDA tournaments"... Hmm i think it's not a bad idea ;)..

I'm okay on Quake Live though I haven't been playing it at all since it opened.
