I tried running WSL2 with Windows 11. Could not get any video. I tried installing PopOS and and a few other distros with VirtualBox and still no video. Decided to put PopOS on the bare metal and try. Still not having much luck. I was told this on Discord "you dont even need any special source code modifications for it to work in libTAS anymore, just add the `-nofork` CLI argument and it works in 2.2.13+ now"  I was getting the console rendered at least but now I am getting 0 video. I was thinking maybe it was a video driver? I am using a 3050 on a laptop (on linux too). I really feel like I am forgetting something or I am not educated enough on Linux usage.

I have been a Windows person most of my life, but I am trying to learn Linux (I got about a year experience off and on). So I am really trying to figure out what I am doing wrong here. I know I probably could just post in their Discord some more, but I also wanted to see if anyone here had any experience with LibTAS and if they had any demos they could show off while they were here at least.

old Grazza notes:

Link: idgames

NERF maps are designed around getting 100% items as an additional challenge to NM100S. Items are deliberately placed to support that.

If you are going for NM100S with all items, please add "100% items" comment to your demo and this comment will be present on the archive (the run will still be under NM100S category).

Suggested demo prefix - nerf.

Posts from this thread do get collected by DSDA, however it may happen at a slower pace, since there's usually a deluge of them. Please be patient if you don't see your PBs in the archive in a recent archive update.

Sidenote: This is a part 2 of the original thread, which may or may not be broken forever, possibly by too many attachments for the Invision software to handle. Fixing it is apparently quite a conundrum, which is why it's still down as I'm writing this.

map01 uv-max 1:32

aa01-132.zip

This update brings UDMF support out of beta with an official dsda UDMF namespace, adds MAPINFO support, and fixes a ton of bugs. Other highlights include a smooth light fade option for opengl (from bkoropoff), improvements to the build mode, and ambient sound support. Ambient sound works retroactively: check out Containment Area, which now has beeping computers and audible conveyor belts. MAPINFO does not work retroactively, as the implementation is more strict and less comprehensive in dsda-doom. If you'd like to use it in your wad, add a DSDAPREF plain text lump with the line use_mapinfo.

UDB Support

Thanks to a ton of work by @boris, UDB now includes an updated and streamlined dsda-doom udmf config. Update to the latest version to give it a spin.

UDMF / MAPINFO Extras

I've decided to fill in some gaps in udmf and mapinfo in order to streamline cumbersome boom features and make life easier for mappers. Some of these features are likely to be adopted by other ports, depending on whether or not they are relevant. The basic idea was "if you need a line special to create a static sector feature, just make that a sector property". This includes scrolling, friction, thrust, colormaps, and skies.

New MAPINFO Properties

• Added Passover and NoPassover map flags to disable or enable finite height (default is NoPassover)
• Added Colormap map property to set the default colormap (i.e., you can now cover an underwater map in mapinfo without messing with any sectors!)

New UDMF Properties

• Added wall texture scrolling properties
  • Split by overall, top, mid, and bottom
• Added sector scrolling properties
  • Split by floor and ceiling
  • Separate flags for texture, static objects, players, and monsters
• Added sector thrust properties
  • Separate flags for static objects, players, monsters, projectiles, and WINDTHRUST-flagged actors
  • Separate location flags for affecting the ground, ceiling, or air
• Added sector sky properties
  • Split by floor and ceiling (you can have separate skies in one sector now)
• Added sector friction properties
• Added colormap streamlining
  • Colormap as a sector property (you can set it directly like you would set the floor or ceiling texture)
  • Map_SetColormap special action (change default colormap, still overridden by sector-defined colormaps)
  • Sector_SetColormap special action (change colormap by sector tag)

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a crash caused by an off-by-one error in the sprite count

• Fixed a crash caused by zero-length ledge linedefs in cl11+

• Fixed backspace from skill selection showing the episode menu when there is only one episode (e.g., in kdikdizd)

• Fixed nightmare skill warning showing up for heretic / hexen skill 5

• Fixed issue with reversing build mode in cl7-9

• Fixed issue with combining manual key frames with build mode reverse in vanilla complevels

• Fixed rare crash in line of sight check

• Fixed various features not working in solo-net mode (next map key, -pistolstart, etc)

• Fixed opengl not respecting the screen multiply setting (bkoropoff)

• Fixed some brute force conditions getting ignored depending on the order

• Fixed some brute force targets displaying a value in the message when there is none

• Fixed trackers not resetting properly when loading a previous state

• Fixed player damage tracking reporting the wrong value sometimes when rewinding

• Fixed an issue that would cause graphical oddities and / or crashes for some players

• Fixed a crash caused by repeat uses of brute force

• Fixed mouse buffering while the mouse is disabled

• Fixed big health / armor exhud components not using the text color config

• Fixed ammo components not coloring by the ammo percent config

• Fixed a crash occurring in maps with inconsistent nodes

• Fixed an automap freeze when dying while using the minimap

• Fixed position in level table resetting when reopening it

• Fixed a crash when using the quartz flask hotkey on the title screen

• Fixed the ammo_text component having the wrong order under alternate alignment

• Fixed a broken hack related to software midtex clipping

• Fixed a crash when using -time_use without the associated component

• Fixed negative coordinate rounding in the console

• Fixed custom colormaps combined with invulnerability yielding the wrong colormap in opengl

• Fixed alt-tab causing the wrong palette to appear under certain conditions

• Fixed reload on use while dead carrying a command over

• Fixed displayplayer in coop demo playback

------------------------- DEMOPACK -------------------------

It wouldn’t be a Hell Revealed project without a demopack!

Now that Hell Revealations is final and demo-compatible, I figured why not host a demo recording event as per HR tradition!

Hell Revealations includes two WADs: The main 33 map wad (HRs.wad) and a bonus 11 map wad (HRsBonus.wad).

The /idgames release is now up-to-date!

Download HRs

Here's some simple rules:

• Please only use the latest HRs.wad and HRsBonus.wad
• Record demos using Complevel 2.
• Use a UMAPINFO compatible port (DSDA Doom, Woof) if recording D2ALL for HRsBonus.wad
• Please use the prefix hrs or hrsb (depending on WAD). 
• Acceptable categories included in the spreadsheet, TASes as well!
• Please post records only. (Non-records will be compiled into a separate pack)

We will be uploading demos to this thread. I will be updating the sheet whenever I check whether the demos are valid. Please include what category your demo is for.
The goal is to continue accepting demos until the entire UV-Max list is filled up. After that, we may wait a while til we get some better records or other demos.

Here is the spreadsheet of current submitted demos (HRs.wad and HRsBonus.wad in separate tabs):

Also NOMO help demos are now on YouTube:

Also this is my first time managing a demopack, so please be kind :)

old mod edit:

I got this demo a few days ago.

It's a full plutonia max run with the exception of one secret missed in map28. So I am not going to upload this to the compet-n unless they accept it as a 27pl ??

I dont think anybody worked on that before so here is my best attempt.

http://www.geocities.com/peroxyd2s/misc/30plvinc.zip

note : this is the 1st time I reached map32 in a run and I was very happy to finish it w/o much troubles :) The remaining maps are done very slow ... next time I'll try to speed things up.

note2 : I heard Dashiva is going to work on a TNT max run. I wish him good luck... would be nice to finally get these runs done. How about a Plutonia -fast run ? :)))

Cleimos 2

I recorded a Cleimos II (cleim20) demopack (17 UV Max demos, 1 UV Speed demo). This may belong to the category of "recording demos on excellent old WADs which suffer from little demo activity" (cleim20 is from 1995), but also may prove Qaatar's point that I tend to choose certain kind of maps ("Maybe one of the more hardcore masochists on this forum would like to give it a shot? Vdgg seems like a prime candidate" -> about Jade Earth). Still, I skipped some maps, because they were no fun to record even for me :)

• The new most demos in a year record goes to @Andrea Rovenski, with 1,352 demos in 2023 (@Bdubzzz ended up at 1,107 in 2022). Andrea was also the winner of the sole demo month this year, so congrats on that. Have to of course mention @Human Being's valiant effort; 1,289 demos in what is so far the only year he has recorded any demos in, a feat of stamina at the very least. :)
• Alongside the single demo month mentioned above, we had one new demo pack for Tetanus, was even packed in on idgames with the release of the WAD itself :). A few additional cool events to mention:
  • D5DA3 team competition, organized by @Ravendesk, which was a flurry of hundreds of demos recorded over the span of just one weekend (a full 297 table slots filled during the comp), which was also the first introduction of the bingo concept that's been floating around for demo competitions. Winner was resoundingly the Pacifist Gamblers team, guess that solidifies whether UV-Max or Pacifist is the better category once and for all. :^)
  • The first Bingo competition in @Meowgi's Discord, which was far more focused than the usual competitions we've had, featuring only 24 competitive runs of decent challenge; in that span, almost all the runs had the existing records on DSDA beaten, and a lot of fun mini-wars happened. mhrzenaries ended up as the competition winners, if you can even call it a competition with the state of that final board. ;)
  • Must not forget the Tambourine Tangerine UV-Max competition, won by @mhrz in a very crowded field of
    Spoiler

    one

    participants.
  • The Haste and Italo-Doom segmented runs (Haste thread, Italo thread) organized by @mhrz deserve a mention as well; the first segmented runs of this kind since Doom Done Quick, I think (though that wasn't exactly a demo either). Looking forward to seeing/participating in more of these.
  • FDCs returned for a one-time competition in 2023, first one since 2018.
• Roughly 100 new players for DSDA (beginning of 2023 reference).

As with last year, Vile provided a good set of highlights already in the 2023 Cacowards. Here's some additional personal picks (with some help from @Billa's compiling sheet).

Feel like I picked more this year than usual, and I could still keep going but it would take hours to write up something comprehensive, really impressive output from the community this year. For a personal pick, I think I'll have to go with:
