The map is not bad, but.. I had hated 2 secrets here. Among the rather tricky levels in my opinion which will follow in the megawad. I guess I aborted roughly 100 attempts ( ! ), a few very promising as well, because I had troubles handling correctly the jumps for the secrets, and failing a jump meant to waste 15-20seconds in both cases.
The first part of the level has no armour and a lot of risky hallways or rooms with lots of monsters, so running through those areas can be nasty, even if those aren't particularly hard. There are some narrow areas where dodgin isn't always easy, but I had particularly tough times in clearing the last area's enemies fast. I often was trapped or wasted lot of time there not causing infighting, because the damn cacos were always way too slow to engage the fight.
In this level there are 2 secrets which require particularly annoying (at least for me) jumps; those looks easy but for me those kind of jumps arent.
All in all the run looks pretty good I guess, no big mistakes, a fairly nice first part, but not as fast as it can be. Gusta hold the DSDA record here in 12:18. What pissed me off quite much, was to read gusta's txt, declaring in his opinion his time was pretty weak and sucky, and that it could be improved by a lot.
Well.. if that's true or not, I will let someone else figure out this time!
ps: I updated my prboom version to the 0.9test one from this demo on.
pps: I decided- at least for now- to skip map18. That was brilliantly challenged by Qaatar last month already, and it was another map I'd had not much fun to play in. I tried briefly but I see no way to improve his run in a reasonable amount of time, which I'm actually missing lately due to work. That was the reason for which I didn't upload for a while, but just played. I'm currently done untill map27 btw, so will put on next levels soon i hope
*about the secret sound:
Newer versions of prBoom had changed the sound when discovering a secret area. If you desire to change to the old sound or change the message in the latest versions of the port, you can do so with a short editing.
