Here in Sweden it’s been 2006 for about an hour…so Happy New Year! 
yeah, happy 2006. I tried running the next level a bit but I have a hard time nailing all teles. Suga will get that map done in one hour anyway.
happy new year and happy running everyone :)o40:actually, you only have to pull off three teles or so, since those are the only real time savers. and yeah, I’ve already done the next map with my save :PI found the gun glitch occurs if you exit the next map too fast after you pass the gate. so I think we might like to replace the save with a slowly exited one (saved at the same position and viewpoint) to fix the glitch. It’s not a real fix but since I don’t think there is a way other than this…about the gun glitch, I quote marsh’s commentary of his first run.QUOTE What is this glitch? Well, you’ll see when you watch the run. All guns are permanently “down” like when you look at an ally. At first this is only a superficial glitch, but it has serious ramifications when using the rocket launcher. As soon as the RPG goes back ‘down’ you lose control of the missile! This means you only have control for roughly two seconds. If it weren’t for the trick on the roof of the museum (so I could avoid the manatee helicopter) I don’t think the game would be beatable.
Well, there is 4 or 5 teles that you save time with so I think there is room to save some seconds, but I guess you know more than me about teleporting so I assume I dont have to tell you anything.At the map where dog throws the car its possible to get a boost by standing between dog and the car when he gets there but I dont see any usage of that boost. The only way out is through that “doorway” he opens?EDIT:Make the next topic and/or post the demo so I can watch and comment on it.
might try to start running again. depends if i have the time / energy. good work btw guys, i know its hard to continue when I go inactive, but its nice to see you’ve managed 
suga whats your time on the next map?happys new year to everyone btw!
I found this mighty fun TV. It holds special powers. I even saw some picture on it once (its not plugged into a wall or anything), dunno if its a bug or easter egg. If anyone can get a picture and know how they did, plz let me know. There is some objects that cant move before I hear a crashing sound.Anyway, this demo shows some of the power the tv has in it, It gave me a big speedboost once, Im going to play around some more with it and see if its useful to anything.http://www.hl2dq.net/uploads/1025670560/fun_tv.zip
Where’s the save for the next map? Why is that file on filefront?
Hey, figured something out about the TV. Its not the whole TV that is messed up, it is the screen. The screen seems to be a different object than the TV is. When you hold the TV by the screen or put another object on the screen, it freaks out. I made a demo of this. It has me holding the TV by the screen at one point, and it pushes me backwards (May be used for going fast somehow??? Needs testing) Anyway, once the screen breaks, the rest of the TV returns back to normal.http://www.hl2dq.net/uploads/720931865/tv_screen.rar
the best thing I can hope for is that the screen adds speed to you all the time and you fly away like a rocket or something.maby if we put the TV in a slight angle or something (still its facing you when you hold it).Btw, did you ever see any picture on it?EDIT:There is no use messing with the TV, if you take it to the next map it changes to a “proper” tv that doesnt have the special abilities. (The screen changes color)
wow, lots of new runners / testers / people by the looks of it. what map you on now? and dont say “prison_08” i can see that, what happens in this map is what Im after.
looks like moderators haven’t been logged in for a while :/I uploaded the file to FileFront because the filesize is too big to upload to SuperJer’s. I can upload to somewhere else if you dislike filefront.the time I’ve got for the next map is 2:29. it’s the same as phase 1 but Downup started recording later than me (and he somehow managed to teleport Alyx at the end) so I think it’s actually 3 or 4 seconds faster.http://www.hl2dq.net/uploads/118861786/p2_…_suga_2m29s.rarbtw Dale what response you got from Pauly? he has registered on this forum a while ago but seems to hasn’t logged in since then.
sampa or not, we have to keep this machine running.suga, do you agree to make a new topic and start on the next map?EDIT:I watched and replayed the map. 2:29 is a pretty good time. I noticed that teleporting them before they finished talking at first wasnt neccesary.If you want to remake the demo for some reason I have a little fun thing in the beginning to do. Jump up on the “teleporter door” just in the beginning and stand there to get a lift to the ceiling of the room.I tried some scriptbreakers but I didnt succeed. If you have one of those big things at dogs spawnpoint (notice that he isnt there at the beginning of the map) it just disappars when he spawns. I tried putting objects on the NPCs next waypoint and tried to teleport them there but no success. I was hoping for the NPC to continue to the next task in his script but I guess its not programmed that way. if you want to give it a shot, try placing a box infront of the computer and teleport him there after they talked for a bit. Hopefully, it can screw the script up but as I said, I didnt succeed.
yeah make a new thread. looks like everyone here agrees to move on.
