What is Pacifist style?
Pacifist style is finishing a DOOM level in Ultra-Violence without harming
any monster. That is: no boxing, chainsawing or shooting at monsters, not
even shooting barrels that do explode next to monsters, not even pressing
switches that activate crushers harming monsters. But it is allowed to make
the monsters fight each others, if they are so stupid and agressive, well
that's their problem. Note: Even a pacifist cannot always avoid telefrags.
This new style of playing doom has been invented recently to give live to a
new Doom Honorific Title - the "Doom2 Pacifist". There are currently 13
people who hold this title (click here to download their exams).
Comparison with other styles.
There are two major aspects in pacifist: one is to make the monsters fight
each others very much like in Tyson, the other is to run slalom through
crowds of monsters without fighting them as often required when playing
under PAR or for COMPET-N speed entries. In some aspects pacifist is more
difficult than Tyson, because you don't even can use pistol or fist to get
rid of monsters, on the other hand you are not forced to kill all of them.
About this collection.
The collection consists of three types of recordings. The first, the fastest
and miscellaneus. As said before the "Pacifist" is a rather new style of
dooming, thus all the first recordings have been collected. The first is not
always the best, so the fastest recordings are collected too. And if there
exist a paticularly interesting recording of a level it will find its way to
the collection even if it is slower. If you know of any older, faster or
interesting recording, be sure to send it to the new COMPET-N incoming
directory or directely to me (the ultimate goal would of course be to do an
uncompleted map for the first time!).
Which recordings are valid?
In a valid recording the player has to start from scratch and play until the
level is finished (i.e. the endscreen is shown). This endscreen must be
visible for at least 5 seconds. Do not use the [pause] key for more then two
times during a recording. In the case that two recordings have the same run
time, one with pauses, one w/o, only the pause free recording will be kept.
The player might die during a recording ONLY immeditially after doing a DHT
dance or when exiting. The recording must be the product of normal gameplay,
absolutely no cheats are allowed. Read some more details if you are not sure
what is considered cheating. For the miscellaneus section in which
interesting recordings are kept, even cheated recording are valid as long as
the player claims correctly how the recording has been produced (e.g. played
with doom V1.9 and edited with lmpc).
The Collection:
The following table summarizes all the lmps in this collection. If you click
on the date of the first recording (fourth column), it will download that
"classic" lmp. If you click on the time of the fastest recording (sixth
column), it will download this lmp.
File name of the recordings is of the form: pa(map number)-(time in
mmss).lmp. However, the dash is eaten up for recordings longer than 9:59.
You can download all the lmps in this collection, 200 kB zipped, 1.5 MB
uncompressed) by clicking below. If you want to view more than two of these
recordings, this is the way to do it.

Rating by
Apr This level is
01 Easiest Simon 25 Thomas New! trivial in Pacifist
Widlake Pilger 0:05
1995 style.
This looks
02 - uncompleted - ucompleted - impossible, many
sergeants and very
little health.
Mai Lot's of armor,
03 Medium Robert Reevy 30 Robert Reevy 0:39 health and the blur
1997 sphere make it
possible.
This looks
impossible, many
04 - uncompleted - uncompleted - chaingunners and
sergeants, with no
armor and very
little health.
Mai A tough map,
05 Hard Istvan 31 Thomas 0:37 especially if you do
Pataki Pilger not even take the
1997
megaarmor.
Jun
06 Hardest Kai-Uwe 11 still 6:39 Just watch it!
Humpert fastest
1997
07 - uncompleted - uncompleted - Impossible by
construction.
Mai Beeing invulnerable
08 Easy Richard J. 28 Andy Badorek 0:30 most of the time,
Sham the only problem is
1997
not to get stuck.
Jun You got to be a real
09 Hard Peo Sjoblom 02 Andy Badorek New! slalom expert to
1997 2:00 reach the yellow
key.
The major problem is
to find the right
way through this
complex level.
Mai (Steve Terry has
10 Medium Steffen 28 Steffen 0:39 done it first, but
Udluft Udluft
1997 his lmp doesn't
playback. Please
mail me if you find
a way to get it
going.)
The main problem are
the two imps
blocking the last
switches. In Thomas'
Feb incredible fast
11 Hardest Thomas 19 still 0:53 recording everything
Pilger fastest
1998 looks easy, but
watch the first
nearly sucessful try
Kai-Uwe made in 1997
for the proposal.
Mai The problem is to
12 Hard Istvan 31 Thomas 0:45 hit all the switches
Pataki Pilger behind the
1997
cacodemons.
You have to convince
a "friendly" monster
Jun to kill all the imps
13 Hard Istvan 12 Steffen New! blocking the yellow
Pataki Udluft 8:47
1997 key. Watch how
Istvan "tamed" the
cacodemon.
Without the jump
tricks Istvan
Jun invented for
14 Hard Istvan 03 Thomas 1:07 COMPET-N it would be
Pataki Pilger
1997 impossible, even
with them it's a
hard level.
You can do the
conventional jump to
the switch or press
Mai it from below. The
15 Easy Steffen 27 Thomas 0:39 latter solution is
Udluft Pilger
1997 the faster one if
you do it w/o the
radsuit like Thomas
...
Mai The most critical
16 Easy Steffen 27 Thomas 0:45 part is to pass the
Udluft Pilger two spectres at the
1997
red key.
The end sequence
17 - uncompleted - uncompleted - alone makes this map
absolutely
impossible.
Another classic
Apr pacifist map, first
18 Easy Istvan 24 Thomas 0:25 done by Istvan as a
Pataki Pilger
1996 COMPET-N speed
entry.
There are three very
different ways to
play this level:
press the first
switch by running a
fulminant slalom
Jun through the imps;
19 Medium Peo Sjoblom 01 Thomas 1:03 let the arachnotron
1997 Pilger kill those imps; or
play it the easy way
by passing the
candle barrier
(using this new
discovered route the
level is EASY).
Mai A nice level to play
20 Easy Steffen 27 Thomas 0:46 pacifist, you can
Udluft Pilger choose many ways to
1997
the exit.
In this map the
spectres are a
pacifists best
Mai friend, they serve
21 Medium Steffen 31 Andy Badorek New! as transparent
Udluft 1:03 shields and are able
1997
to kill the nasty
sergeants. Istvan
did this map on
nightmare.
In principle this
map should be
possible, because
22 - uncompleted - uncompleted - all blocking
monsters may kill
each other - but be
sure they will kill
you first!
If you prevent the
wall from going down
and trapping you
Mai within the herd of
23 Hard Patrick 30 Andy Badorek 0:58 demons you can make
Martin
1997 your way through
without beeing too
much of a slalom
expert.
Anthe's first
pacifist recording
which he did for
COMPET-N has been a
major inspiration to
propose the pacifist
Jun title. It is really
24 Hard Andreas Kren 08 Esko New! worth watching how
1996 Koskimaa 0:40 the strategies for
COMPET-N changed to
pacifist! Most DHT6
players followed his
route quite closely.
Watch this
remarkable
exception.
If you don't like to
do Anthe's jump to
Jun the megasphere you
25 Medium Andreas Kren 01 Thomas 0:59 must convince the
1997 Pilger monsters to shoot
the blocking barrels
for you.
It looks impossible
26 - uncompleted - uncompleted - to reach the red
key.
A very fast one if
Sep you make the
27 Easy Laszlo 20 still 0:16 arch-vile cooperate.
Magori fastest It's also possible
1996
on the conventional
route.
If you know the
right route through
Mai that level you can
28 Easy Steffen 27 Andy Badorek New! play it invulnerable
Udluft 0:56 most of the time
1997
without too much
danger of getting
stuck.
Blocked and
29 - uncompleted - uncompleted - impossible to
survive.
30 - uncompleted - uncompleted - Impossible by
construction
Nov This level is
31 Easiest Michael Kren 01 Adam Hegyi New! trivial Pacifist
1995 0:32 style.
Mai Not as trivial as 01
32 Easiest Steffen 26 Adam Hegyi 0:26 and 31 but also very
Udluft easy, just let cybie
1997
shoot the Keens.
