Nope, you don’t actually need alyx to be there. ---

Wait so Alyx doesn’t spawn on the map at all? Isn’t that a problem in c17\_01? ---

A new alyx is created in c17\_01 since the maps are independent of each other. more triggerdelay save/load stuff [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CP0Bgl67xss](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CP0Bgl67xss) ---

There’s so much oob stuff you can do with triggerdelay and save/loading (like I’m pretty sure it’s possible to go through all of citadel without the gravgun for instance) but I don’t think it would be very entertaining to watch. ---

I never thought that old engine could be more broken than new engine… ---

It will. By 10 minutes already. And we’re probably going to find even more stuff. ---

Wait… Does this mean Old Engine will be be the fastest version for any% segmented runs, or would a New Engine rerun with new tricks be faster again? It would be so hilarious if the New Engine turned out to be slower despite having ABH. 😛 ---

Yeah, it seems that Old Engine is actually quite faster than New Engine in segmented category. Crazy, isn’t it? And yes, sub 1 hour is very likely, we’re ~6 min of improvements away from that. Who could’ve ever thought that crazy stuff like this would be possible in Old Engine? 😉 ---

BTW, if you haven’t thought of it already, there are people who know just a little about OE and its funky-ness. They also made a video about it. 😉 ---

It would be pretty great if the TSA run and the old engine rerun were competing head to head to be faster than the other as these projects progress haha. ---

In the estimate take into account that back when done quick was made people didn’t know how to time runs so it’s actually a low 1:38 instead of 1:36:57. ---

HOLY HYPE 😮 EDIT: exec sent me the torrent link, ignore the following… I feel like I want to start experimenting in the Old Engine now… I see the wiki has a download for build 2455. Is it OK to use this, or is there a more recent OE build which I need? If so, could someone PM a link? Thanks. EDIT: I notice that there is one build after that which is compatible with the demos, but the latest OE version doesn’t say that, so I’m guessing I need to download that. ---

When doing this you loose all your weapons. But it’s not a problem. Also Me and Rama found a way to skip basicly all of Red Letter Day (while still grabing the suit). And I found a way to skip prison\_06.
