I don't think the hook should be an allowed tool... or maybe three categories, nothing, weapons, weapons+hook.

I have times need to send to Carlyle for the following,

Reservoir Nex (19.xx)

and Runningman (9.xx)

I can't remember the exact times without watching but there all without weapons.

Just thinking whether I should make the teleport a separate cheat from impulse 99, and let it also return the flag you are carrying, so you can use it to abort a failed attempt...

or actually, committing exactly that now. It will be impulse 77.

Its as if you're reading my mind! :twisted:

I've wanted something like that to drop the flag on borked runs so many times. Now I guess we have it.

No, the hook is not legal. I have no future plans on allowing the hook either.

Mirio: I didn't upload the (No Weapon) run on basement because I have already beat it, but am unable to upload the video since I do not have my video card to create it. Anyway, if anyone attempts a (No Weapon) run on basement the time to beat is 5.97. Only then will I upload to make them the current record holder. Once I get my card back I'll upload that proof first thing.

Still waiting for someone to beat my vitamea run... as I was quite bad on it and still have problems with the weapon switching, I want someone who is better to use my trick to get a better time. It MUST be possible to go below 10 seconds using laser and electro... and someone already got the same time with laser only.

I'll try again tomorrow, maybe I can reduce the time a bit, but I was never able to get the last side room right unless I was slow... but even when one has to be, slowing down using the backwards key probably is better than slamming against the wall, like I did on my demo. Therefore, I strongly believe that a vitamea speedrun is possible in less than ten seconds.

And now... for something completely divVerent. Asymmetric maps. In case of asymmetric maps, I'd say they can be listed twice for both capture directions, but only if the asymmetry actually changes something about the possible run (for example, vitamea is slightly asymmetrical because of weapon placement, but this doesn't suffice for making red and blue flag runs differently fast, but OTOH, a certain "GPLd" map is an extreme example of an asymmetrical map).

It is possible to go faster and I'd attempt it, but I don't have my video card back from replacement yet. In another week, I'll be attempting all sorts of map runs.
