Substitutions? : NO
System used : 486/50 VLB with Sbpro, Click mouse
Controls used : keyboard + mouse, with custom ergonomic controls:
Keyboard:
W, R = turn left/right
E, D = go forward/back
S, F = strafe left/right
Mouse:
LMB = fire
MMB = strafe (not used)
RMB = go forward
...other keys are as usual
I devised this setup after consideration of those used by players
such as FMS and JRH, and experimentation to see what worked best
for me. Biggest drawback for me is my left little finger gets tired
holding down shift during long play sessions. Really, it would be
better if "run" were default, and shift meant "walk".
Special control sensors could improve the interface further, e.g.
a foot pedal for speed on, and switches in the player's seat to detect
leaning for strafe left/right.
Free interpretation : E3M9 Warrens (Hardest set) 100% kills/secrets/items
Comments :
These demos are more loose and improvisational than polished and
perfect, the better to show style.
E1M3-UV:
Tough beginning, but straightforward after that. As usual,
getting the shotgun early makes a big difference.
E2M3-UV:
I like this demo best of the ones in this set. Before this
exam, I'd take the long way to the shotgun. Lots of fights
are avoided until I'm good and ready, but the Baron is
destroyed early. The dance is shortly after getting berzerk.
E1M9-UV:
Got badly injured (to 4%), but valiantly continued fighting.
The quick 180 before going in to the three imp pillars is
done by a combination of mouse and key turning. Did all
the pillars in the penultimate room.
E3M9-UV:
I like playing this level. It's fun with -fast and
-turbo 255, but that would't be allowed under the rules.
This level shows my usual playing style.
Toyed with the Cyberdemon without invulnerability until he
winged me. Grrr!
