Okay. It’s the first map and I feel that’s the best way to start.Intro Time: 101 SecondsThis is the time from the HL2 Logo to the “Undue Alarm” section. Everyone hates having to go through the intro over and over so we might as well set a standard point to load from. I think the Chapter Text is a good point.You can find a save and the intro demo here:[http://www.hl2dq.net/uploads/2093852591/ep…el\_00\_intro.zip](http://www.hl2dq.net/uploads/2093852591/ep1_citadel_00_intro.zip)I’ll post a demo of my route in a few moments, remember to use the HL2DQ uploader for your demos.[http://hl2dq.net/upload.php](http://hl2dq.net/upload.php)Attempt #1:[http://www.hl2dq.net/uploads/70643165/ep1\_…el\_00\_7m55s.zip](http://www.hl2dq.net/uploads/70643165/ep1_citadel_00_7m55s.zip)Seems the fastest route is to, as soon as the grav gun is picked up, is to jump from that small platform, across the gap and onto the raised ledge. There are two points in this map where much is possible. Start and Finish. Unless it’s possible to teleport the silly cow around.I think the best possible time would be around 7min50sec. Perhaps a little lower if we can teleport her. ---

I still haven’t been able to complete EP1 since my graphics card doesn’t let me play 3D games anymore…I would like to join this project when I get a new graphics card and all that (if any runner is active on this run…)…but is this project alive?EDIT:Yes!!! I got my graphics card running properly again, I will start playing EP1 now again!EDIT2:I just completed EP1 now, it was quite short (not a surprise, just stating the obvious).I’ll check your demos some day and see what this run would be like… ---

Start recording with “startmovie” and stop it with “stop”. It’s probably useful to bind those commands, for example “bind a startmovie”. Then press A to start recording.You can find all cliend-side HL2 console commands [here](http://www.hl2world.com/wiki/index.php/Half_Life_2_Client_Console_Commands). ---
