Cool, May 16th seems fine to me, since that's right after my exams... that'd give me a chance to see all the cool stuff I haven't been able to check out yet. Good luck with that thesis.

If you don't want to wait for the next update, you can get the new demos from:
ftp://competn.doom2.net:8002/incoming/compet-n/

Er, that's not meant to be a closely-guarded secret, is it?

I'm sure it's being taken care of, gradually.  There's almost 200 demos to sort through and the next leg of the contest might also be in the works, so I'm sure our patience will pay off.   :)

Though we haven't heard from Hegyi yet, so maybe it's not happening.

[EDIT] Was informed that after his thesis there's also a trio of exams to finish in the next 3 weeks... so we might be waiting a while.

Yeah, it's close. I just waved university goodbye today (umm, in a good way. I graduated). Which means, tomorrow I'm spending the day doing nothing. Then Saturday I'm celebrating my birthday and graduation with friends (massive intoxication expected). Sunday I'm having a hangover, so that leaves Monday and the following to get an update done, with a new contest coming (that should be fun). So expect an update _next week_.

I'm curious about something. I notice that DooMerMan's 1326hr01 has been accepted as a valid movie run, even though he used a suicide exit on map09. Have the rules changed? Vile's text for his 1228pl11 seemed to suggest that he considered a suicide exit on map17 to be against the rules, and I vaguely recall the FAQ previously making it clear(ish) that you couldn't die before the end of a movie run.

Suicide exits are allowed in movies. What is not allowed in any kind of run, is initiating a player respawn yourself. Whatever the engine does to you is not your concern.

In coop this is slightly different, suicide exits are still allowed but lying around the level dead just to spawn on the next one is not (that wouldn't be much of a coop).

By the way, back in early '99 there was some talk whether it would be useful to use a suicide exit in e4nm's E4M1-E4M2 transition (usually the exit health is quite low), but I dropped the idea eventually for my run as I figured E4M2 NM can be done even from 1% health with the proper tactic.

Back then I wasn't completely clear on the rules, so a nice 2 minutes improvement on that movie could come from the use of that trick... anyone? :)

Thanks for the clarification. It's nice to know, e.g., that Yonatan Donner's 30hr2843 TAS run is valid by compet-n rules - I'd been assuming it wasn't (due to the exit from map23).

Talking of coop and Plutonia map17, it occurs to me that there might be scope for a really fast coop speed run there.

I suggested this to Doomerman - at first we both thought it might be against the rules, then checked around and found it wasn't, so he did it. :)

Status: I've done the database updates today (~2 hours work). Gonna continue with preparing for the cybers tomorrow. Speaking of which, it wouldn't be bad if anyone could give a hand finding *new* tricks discovered in 2003... so we could see if it's worth including the category at all.

Trick

Post by AltimaMantoid »

One trick I'm certainly aware of is mine for Memento Mori II map 27, with the switches and such.

Um... although I can't remember any of the other tricks, but I think someone made a post somewhere that talked about some of the other tricks done in 2003

ep30-204, ac03-059, hr09-103, av25-129 (although these tricks were known for the previous version of AV), m209-059.

Those five were found searching for "trick" in the 4 updates of last year, that's enough for a single vote... probably others not advertised as trick runs.

Drew, how could you forget your av20-436? Okay, so the trick had been "known" for some time, but your demo was the first to exhibit a successful implementation of it. :-)

Status: I completed all the pages necessary for the Cyber Awards (honestly, it was shitloads of work).

Here is the list of tricks I found so far:
ep30-204, ec02-011, hr09-113, rq28-059, mm27-354, m230-104, av20-436, av25-129, av29-129, ac03-059.

Vincent: Right, that's a 2004 demo though, so it'll be featured in next year's awards. Nice trick though - it can be done with a RJ but I have no idea at the moment how feasible that is.

Hmm.. what about Eugene's av23-045? (Nice AV jump!)

Casey's m227-029 was uploaded in February 2003...

And DooMerMan's map 11 trick(s)? (lv11aj and cp11-3ck) Maybe those two don't count since they're not point awarding?

Yeah, someone would need to upload a proper coop demo featuring the trick.

There will be a nomination phase as usual, of course, the bulk of the work I've done was getting the lists done where you could choose the nominees from.

I guess we could give it a try, but it looks really hard to pull out (coordination-wise). And also do not seem to gain so much time in a regular UV demo... maybe 2s.

You could upload a nomonsters demo to show the trick, I don't see much point in that, as the trick was already shown by DooMerMan.
To get a point or to be able to be nominated next year you'd have to do it UV or NM.

The coop record is somewhat behind the single time so I guess you could beat it with this trick, however you're right that it doesn't save much compared to the normal coop route (in fact, with the trick both players would need a shotgun while the normal route only requires the exit guy to get one).

that brings a question to mind :

Does a trick (any trick) requires to be a record beater to be featured in the cybers ?

The trick could be really impressive but impossible in a real run (like Selim's map29 end RJ or Rimmer's map05 RJ). Such kind of tricks should be featured in the Cybers ?

What about "old" Alien Vendetta tricks? For example Map02:
Anders did in his NM runs for both AV versions the "same" yellow keygrab. But the map has slightly changed, so these are "different" tricks, or not? I don't know. What do you think?

well i think the first c-n demo that uses the trick is the one which counts.  Misc demos and demos from other sites don't count.  So perhaps ocelot's lv10-025 is a "new" trick?

With older tricks getting their first proper C-N run this year: they will be part of the nominations this year, obviously, the originator and the uploader will share credit.
