Hey, no funny things here, just serious speedruning as usual:

Ultimate Doom
Respawn
Some old rules were altered so I recorded one silly respawn demo on E1M8 called r1m8-249.zip and Altima did a proper E1M8 recording in r1m8-155.zip. Still improvable with some luck in the ending room but who wants to waste time for 0.5 points?

Coop
JC teamed with his French friends and recorded with Dislogical E2M6 speed using void glide bug in c2s6-024.zip, few hours later he played E3M6 max with Ch0wW making c3m6-200.zip.


Plutonia
Speed
Kunkun did MAP09 bars glide in pl09-057.zip beating Jim's record for 15 seconds.

Nightmare
More Kunkun demos: MAP01 19 seconds faster than Jim in pn01-019.zip, MAP08 18 seconds faster than Jim in pn08-024.zip and MAP09 54 seconds faster than Jim pn09-104.zip. Unfortunately, I missed old cack_handed record on MAP08 so Kunkun uploaded pn08-019.zip. Can we expect more stuff like this? I hope so!

Respawn
vdgg filled all missing respawn entries: MAP12 in pr12-425.zip, MAP22 in pr22-528.zip, MAP23 in pr23-444.zip, MAP25 in pr25-433.zip and MAP26 in pr26-506.zip. In the meantime, Altima improved Jim's MAP29 record for 37 seconds in pr29-425.zip.

Coop
JC and Dislogical speeding trought MAP01 with nice SSG boost in the back to achieve 0:05 and pacifist since no pellets hit any monsters in pc01-005.zip. They did record it twice, first time on skill 3, so the first one is in misc category now.



Alien Vendetta
Respawn
Altima Mantoid also filled some empty table space recording previously undone MAP10 in ar10-854.zip. Pretty amazing 100% kills


Hell Revealed
Altima loves HR MAP30 so after doing 1:56 he improved it to 1:40 and now he did 1:21 in hr30-121.zip. Congrats on beating yourself bud!


Memento Mori 2
Respawn
Two undone respawn demos by vdgg: first on MAP 16 in m216r431.zip and second on MAP17 in m217r559.zip.

Fast
Altima was struck by Archy's comment so he improved Archy's MAP30 record for 48 seconds in m230f218.zip. More comments please?!


Requiem
Speed
vdgg "fixed" and improved Jim's record on MAP21 for 1:50! in rq21-456.zip. Also did MAP29 speeding up Jim's record for 48 seconds in rq29-507.zip.

Max
More quality from vdgg, MAP29 improved for 49 seconds in rq291313.zip and deleting Jonases only point that he had for 16 years! Sorry Jonas!

Respawn
Last one is one more table filling by vdgg, MAP23 in rr23-605.zip.

Fullzip can be downloaded right here.


For those who didn't notice, database is fully operating with two player cooperative records. You have to click 2x on "Coop" to switch from normal database to cooperative listing. Site was polished a bit (fixed some nasty hellish bugs), and more features were added, you can also comment two player coop demos, tho, you have to be registered on forum to use them.

Also, uploading demos is slightly advanced and for registered only. See here what I'm talking about.

Three or four player cooperative demos are also accepted but you need to send them with email.


May the speed be with you!

ps. thank you Altima for reporting errors.

Nice demo collection after a month, 11 IWAD demos and 11 PWAD demos:

Ultimate Doom
Fast
USA vs. USA Xit took Archy's E4M1 fast record improving it for three seconds in f4m1-223.zip. He also drastically improved Ole's E4M4 for 35 seconds in f4m4-153.zip, shame punching Caco's didn't go well.

Respawn
Archy improved E3M3 in r3m3-209.zip for two seconds, still room for improvement, just be careful with rocket launcher and kill imps at exit as soon as possible

Coop Speed
JC teamed with Ch0wW (new player!) and recorded c2s7-010.zip E2M7 speed beating old record for two seconds.

Doom 2
Coop Speed
JC & Ch0wW again recorded MAP32 speed cs32-009.zip, improving old record for three seconds. I really hope there will be more Coop demos.

Plutonia
Fast
USA/Archy on the run again, scoring half point with fast record on MAP18. It was improved for one second but that's what counts! Grab pf18-211.zip.

TNT
Tyson
Bunch of good stuff from Slovakia. j4rio took bunch of Tyson records from Xit: et101812.zip, et11-624.zip, et121302.zip, et131244.zip and et141253.zip!

Alien Vendetta
Fast
Two fast demos from Archy, MAP07 in af07-243.zip, and MAP09 in af09-713.zip.

Memento Mori 2
Speed
One MAP15 secret exit speed demo from vdgg improving his own record for 23 seconds in m215s228.zip.

Max
Also vdgg, MAP15, 48 seconds improvement over his old record in m215-842.zip.

Fast
You would say vdgg again, but nope, MAP30 fast was achieved by Archy, fours seconds faster than Opulent in m230f306.zip.

Respawn
More vdgg stuff, but respawn. Easy points when you record undone stuff someone would say, but I dare you to improve it. MAP06 in m206r719.zip, MAP09 in m2091015.zip, MAP15 in m215r707.zip and MAP 23 in m223r957.zip. Nice job vdgg!

Requiem
Fast
One more demo from Archy, MAP30 only 54 seconds faster than Xit in rf30-115.zip.

Movie
Last one is true gem from vdgg. Episode 3 (MAP21-MAP30) speed movie run in 38:41. Grab popcorn in your store and demo here: 3841rq21.zip. vdgg is really going strong with demos/points so now he's in the hi-score top! Very nice!

All demos in one zip can be snatched here.

If you didn't notice, from now you can comment your favorite or worst demos from database, just click wad and category then click x on the right to the filename and write your comment. You have to be registered on this forum to be able to comment. One registration to rule them all.
Cooperative demos are in the process of integration in database (comments will be also available!) so if you can record some and make us smile! If you think you have a suggestion or critic, please tell us so we can make this site a better place for everyone!

Fourteen demos arrived so let's see what's new:

Ultimate Doom
Fast
Archy improved old Radek's E4M8 fast record for three seconds in f4m8-241.zip.

Max
It's always good to try all records on one map so Archy once again improved another Radek's demo for one in u4m8-219.zip.

Doom 2
Respawn
Archy decided to change it so he took a MAP03 respawn record of mine, well it was only 13 years old record so he recorded re03-117.zip. Really nice job, but I'll try to take it back asap. It's always good to see there are space for improvement in Doom 2 records.

Plutonia
Max
14 demos on MAP11 and 9 of them belong to Archy so he improved his own record twice, once in pl11-233.zip and then did pl11-231.zip. It's a good demo, five seconds improvement after all. Shame it's a bit shaky for my opinion! Maybe you could try to lower mouse sensitivity a bit?

Respawn
Altima also has a "back to the future" demo beating himself to death for 42 seconds on MAP03 pr03-307.zip!
While I was finishing this news post I took another look into incoming and boy I was surprised to see one more demo! Archy sent another gem, MAP18 demo, 36 seconds faster than Revved's old record, grab pr18-148.zip now!

TNT
Nightmare 100% secrets
It's Altima's fault that he recorded MAP22 demo es22-134.zip, six seconds faster than Xit's old 2005 demo and raged about map level design, bugs and whatever so I had to do something about it...

Respawn
After reading Altima's txt I was really provoked and decided to give that lousy respawn a try and after second exit I've improved old Altima's MAP22 for 1:32 in er22-438.zip. Soooo, now I'm waiting...

Alien Vendetta
Respawn
More Archydemos, now it's a MAP05 respawn demo two seconds faster than old Jakub's one. Grab your copy of ar05-212.zip! Seems respawn is "IN" this year?!

Memento Mori
Max
Couple of quality Max demos from vdgg came. One is awesome MAP29 improved for 1:10 over Anthony's old record in mm291200.zip. Tricky map to play.

Memento Mori 2
Max
vdgg improved two more demos MAP16 14 seconds faster than Jim in m216-456.zip, and MAP17 28 seconds faster than Eugene in m217-709.zip.

Requiem
Max
Last one from vdgg is rq11-242.zip improving his own record for ten seconds, seems like he's off tyson duty now.

phew! Two months later and fourteen demos, it could not be better. As you can notice, site was changed visually and it's all about speeding it up. Use your forum login on the first page and then you can adjust site settings per computer like font size, language, forum feed, gallery, theme and more to come. Hope you like it, well, at least COMPET-N database is now turbo!

Read the updated rules since I've added respawn, fast, tyson and pacifist movies. Also, remember that they are still not counted in database, but in few days everything will be in order. I don't know who would be so crazy enough to record tyson episode or complete movie run, but who knows, never say never, just like 30nm is a standard today.

One more thing. If you are using mobile phone feel free to test it, no menus for now but look really good at least on my Android device.

Have fun!

Sixteen demos was uploaded, and nineteen years since Doom was released so let's head over to those sweet demos:

Ultimate Doom
Speed
JC improved xepop's E2M6 speedrun for four second doing e2m6-024.zip, JS says it could be 23, but I'd go even further and say that someone really crazy might squeeze that to 22. But still, nice void hack run, also remember, this kind of runs will not be legit in new CNDOOM database

Nightmare
I was surprised when AltimaMantoid told me that COMPET-N is missing one old movie run from Drew. I've asked Drew about it and he was unable to find the demos, but luckily AltimaMantoid had it and we uploaded it. Eight seconds faster than old Adam Hegyi's run, EP3 nightmare run by stx-Vile, e3nm-410.zip. Old but really good run that brings back nice memories. +1 for AltimaMatoid

Final Doom - Plutonia
none

Final Doom - TNT
Fast
Interestingly enough we have new player, he says it's nothing spectacular but I say it is. Every new demo or player is highly welcome! So lets wish Ricardo "Rizera" Bischoff a nice welcome to COMPET-N! He improved Ryback's MAP28 for whooping 121 seconds scoring ef28-458.zip!
It's recorded with Final Doom so don't forget to use -gameversion final with Choco/CN Doom.

Respawn
AltimaMantoid sent a neat MAP15 demo er15-236.zip, 46 seconds faster than Eugen. Nice one, waiting for more respawns for my enjoyment.

Doom 2
Nomonster
I did few demos to fill some tables. Feel free to improve. We badly need more nomonster demos. MAP01, 05:97 in d0100597.zip. MAP02, 29:23 in d0202923.zip and MAP03, 24:91 in d0302491.zip.

Hell revealed
Respawn
Revved filled some empty tables and did MAP19 in he19-247.zip.


Memento Mori 2
Max
vdgg improved Xit's MAP05 for six seconds in m205-615.zip. Also he improved his own record on MAP06 for 21 seconds in m206-843.zip.

Tyson
He did more Tyson demos so he filled MAP06 with 39:42 in m2063942.zip and MAP29 with 41:45 in m2294157.zip! Amazing!

Nomonster
I did two nomonster demos. Easy to break. MAP01, 19:91 in o0101991.zip and MAP02, 37:94 in o0203794.zip.

Requiem
Respawn
Revved also filled some empty space and did MAP22 in rr22-720.zip.

Tyson
vdgg was ready enough to smack some Tyson and did MAP30 in rt30-420.zip.


Competition Doom will be after all based on Chocolate Doom v2 so I've worked on Heretic database and Vince approved it and it's possible we will revive Heretic-N too.

Also, here are demos packed in one zip.

From today, we are in the need of nomonsters demos, no scoring for them tho, we just need demos that will provide best routes and show fastest possible times in database, since database was upgraded with possibility to show nomonsters and prboom(+) times in speed categories for all (P)WADs. Currently, TNT is populated with some nomonsters times taken from DoomWorld forums to show how it works. Links to demos will be added later when we get enough nomonster demos.

Rules:
- use template
- miliseconds should be included too (use Competition Doom client, LMPC tool or PrBoom+ to see exact time)
- record on skill 4
- upload to incoming/send to compet-n@doom.com.hr or it won't be listed/accepted
- use -nomonsters switch
- uhm, and yes doom.exe / doom2.exe only

UPDATE, naming convention:

Code: Select all

Doom - uXYTTTTT    Nomonsters  X: 1-4, Y: 1-4, T: 0-9
Doom 2 - dXYTTTTT    Nomonsters  X: 0-3, Y: 0-9, T: 0-9
Plutonia - pXYTTTTT    Nomonsters  X: 0-3, Y: 0-9, T: 0-9
Tnt - tXYTTTTT    Nomonsters  X: 0-3, Y: 0-9, T: 0-9
Alien Vendetta - aXYTTTTT    Nomonsters  X: 0-3, Y: 0-9, T: 0-9
Hell Revealed - hXYTTTTT    Nomonsters  X: 0-3, Y: 0-9, T: 0-9
Memento Mori - mXYTTTTT    Nomonsters  X: 0-3, Y: 0-9, T: 0-9

Classic Episode - c2XTTTTT    Nomonsters  X: 1-9, T: 0-9


So, Doom 2 MAP12 in 5 seconds and 93 miliseconds: d1200593.zip
