Use Free interpretation: MAP01 - 09 Lightning Style ... Jonathan Hoof IS WRONG! ;-) Comments : MAP04: Finished in 1:32 - Par 2:00. It's important to be 'a real man' and *leave* the start room to get the shotgun from friendly 'Herbert Charles the Shotgunner' himself. Rest is as it's always been: RUN and (sometimes) SHOOT and (more often ((maybe) even)) HIT (!) ^^^ MAP08: Finished in 0:57 - Par 2:00. Nothin' much to say, because it was the easiest of my assigned set. Get Cybie & The Barons started, dash for the plasma gun, back to Cybie & Co., grab the invulnerability & the yellow key, grab the red key while still invulnerable, and off we go! Think this is better than getting the rocket launcher. MAP09: Finished in 3:07 - PAR 4:30. The relatively 'hardest' map of my (IMHO) easy assigned set. I needed a few tries to find the fastest route with the least risk of dying, par time itself is no problem. The only trick is to get the rocket launcher first w/o activating the chaingunners (ThanXX to ZlatkO) FREE: While training for the COMPET-N 'Just Fast' category (Shameless plug: Check out these REALLY F A S T LMPs, they are definitely worth downloading !) I found myself being able to play each single level from MAP01 to MAP10 under PAR from scratch, so I wanted to do a Lightning style run as far as I'd get (but at least 9 levels) I guess this is a fine place to analyze Jonathan "Hunter" Hoof's statements from his D2L-JRH.TXT: JRH> I found the only 9 level sequence to be 15-21 with both secrets. Not me ! I 'found' another one. JRH> MAP02, MAP08 make you do too much in UV to make PAR feasable. That's (as you can see) not quite right ! I think that Jonathan originally meant MAP06 instead of MAP08 (a typo ?), because MAP08 is just a sunny after- noon walk. Having seen Hunter play, I can't really believe that he's not able to do these two under PAR (My personal best times from scratch currently are 1:07 on MAP02 and 2:10 on MAP06 (with much room for improvement) !) JRH> This leaves 14-21 as the only viable sequence. No ! JRH> Feel free to prove me wrong in a FREE lmp." Ok , felt sooooo (!) free and followed this friendly invitation. ;-) After several (dying silly) tries I finally managed to record a LMP from MAP01 to MAP09 Lightning Style (UV, each map under par): MAP ANTHE PAR ------------------ 01 0:27 0:30 02 1:18 1:30 03 1:06 2:00 04 1:39 2:00 05 1:12 1:30 06 2:25 2:30 07 1:45 2:00 08 1:14 2:00 09 2:33 4:30 [10 1:38 1:30] :-( (forgot my route uaeeeeh !) ------------------ Total: 13:49 18:30 [15:17 20:00] ADD'L: Still feeling soooo free, and already having proved Hunter wrong once, I decided to show that Steffen is not the only one who could do MAP06 on NightMare! (see D2I-JRH.TXT) Of course I don't want to compare my skills to Steffen's (as long as it's not E1M4 in COMPET-N Just Fast) however MAP06 *is* feasible on NightMare! Well, I guess good ol' Hunter didn't know good ol' Anthe when he wrote that ... check out D2I-AAK.ZIP [available soon] for details! :-) Author info : 24 year old software engineer who started playing DooM in January '95. Living in Austria, home of the original Schwarzenegger (Arnie, eh kloa!) - btw, isn't there a DHT Title named after him? Let's see ... ;-) Thanx to ZlatkO ThE GoDFatheR for e-mailing, ftp'ing and watching numerous LMPs for countless hours. BUT ... Yes, it's true, today I got my (brand)new e-mail address: (Please send me something, I'm keen on getting my first e-mail from an unknown (former) human (sergeant (?))). Thanx for inspiration & motivation(!) to the following people: Steffen Winterfeldt (of course! ;-), Uwe Girlich, Jonathan "Hunter" Hoof, Lawrence "Hunter" [another one?! Oops!] Kirby, Tom "Paradox" Mustaine, Anthe
