Hr2

I have just recorded a demo for Plutonia MAP32. I have completed this map in 16:58 with no Tool Assisting demo crap. This demo is for prboom-2.2.3 and should work very well with any Boom compatible source port. Just go to my Doom Files page to obtain a copy of this demo. _doomfiles/32bejiita.zip to download the demo.

I was very surprised that this demo was possible, after trying over and over to finish this map without success I finally manage to beat it. I saw the 9:59 demo on the Doomworld forums and it is cool, but very lame if the person needs Tools to make himself invulnerable just to beat that. I can do Doom2 MAP28 in Nightmare mode without any cheats. I can also do MAP18 Doom2 in Nightmare mode. Maybe I will do another demo of Plutonia MAP21 in UV without cheats. I sure feel like it right now. I am very happy with the Plutonia MAP32 demo, But I wish I had not spent so much time fighting the Barons, when I could
have gone around to the corridor next to the Blue key door and lured them into the Chaingunner room, then I could have fought them all and not wasted so much time on that fight. But I had already made it through the level that far I could not stop and re-start the demo since I would have to try and do it all over again.

I agree that HR2 MAP32 is much harder, I consider it impossible unless you are a Doom god. 1600 monsters is too much to take on all at once. I get the invulnerability at the start, but there are so many monsters attacking you that half the time you cannot see where you are going. I cannot understand how anyone could finish this map without cheats in UV but if it is possible I would love to see some demos from people that are managing such a feat of Doom skill. Who the hell thought up this crap anyway, HR2 MAP32 is fucking ridiculous and impossible, I can only finish this crap by using god mode and IDFA over and over to refill the BFG. There is no other way I can see to finish this level. Not to forget the level is made up of square rooms and architechture from 1994. Looks like just another Lamer level to me. If you want to see a level that is actually well designed then get my House of Pain level.

This level is actually a good one, and it is actually possible to complete it without god mode.

In other news I have installed FMOD to satisfy the dependencies of the Zdoom 2.0.93 source code and I ran the ./configure script sucessfully, but the 'make' command failed, and now I need to debug yet more problems with this software. I remember that the makefile had an error after being generated by the ./configure script, and I had to fix the error and re-run the command. Why cannot Randy Heit make a source tarball or RPM with the configure script already done. Surely this would fit in with how Linux software is distributed? I am accustomed to installing software this way, compiling from source is better than installing an RPM as sometimes with RPM's from varying sources there can be problems installing sometimes. Installing from source code means you are building the software to use exactly what is on your system. If something is missing then it is not used, although
depending on how critical it is to the compilation process, it may ask you to install that component and then you re-run the ./configure script until it works, what I mean is you are tailoring the software installation for your specific system environment. Which is better than the one-size fits all Installshield method of another notorious operating system.

We have had a shooting in a Myer shopping centre today. Wed, 17 Nov 2004. Some 69 year old guy shot a woman in a pointless dispute. I thought we had less gun violence here in Australia than in America, but I was wrong. It reminds me of the Hoddle street massacre, where many people where shot by a gun wielding maniac. I do not know what our country is coming to, first the public transport goes down the porcelain receptacle then we have an outbreak of gun violence. Anyway, I have just completed Punisher on UV difficulty once again. I wish I had been recording it, because I did it in 20:13! Damn. Maybe I can do a 16:00 run and really impress some people. Once you have the Blue key in Punisher, and you are going for the yellow key, make sure you keep the Invulnerability sphere near there 'till last, then you can grab the God mode sphere and run like heck to the Yellow key and still be invincible. Which is good considering the amount of revenants guarding the exit! But I am not going to do a 100% kills run though, I have enough fun just getting to the exit.

Maven is running RAW! This is awesome. Now we are having some freaky matches, much better than if Eric Bischoff was running the show. I cannot wait for the Lingerie contest with Stacy Kiebler, that will be hot, and good ol, JR is in a match against Coach, something I have not seen in a long time. Go to http://www.wwe.com for all of the gory details. Well I am very happy with my efforts on the Punisher level, I have finished it in UV twice in a row. Maybe I could do HR2 MAP32, but only if they make a version that does not look like a reject from 1994. The other maps are good though they have bridges that you can walk over and under, which is not an easy trick I suspect.
