Requiem Help demoset
--------------------

22/1/2000: Updated % faster times and archive.

Recorded by S. Woodman. (sewoodman@talk21.com)

It's finished! (already :) This collection took me nine days to do from the
tenth of January, and on the eighteenth, I really pushed the gas pedal on
'em, as I did them from 15 to 26 on that day (I don't have much to do in
general, just editing, playing Requiem and STRAIN and before the 20th,
these demos :)

These demos are recorded with skill 5, no monsters.  They basically show
the quickest way to complete the various levels in Requiem with 100%
secrets.  Note that these should be played with my Requiem patch WAD,
available at http://www.geocities.com/metabolist/.  Without it, the
Map12 demo and others will desynch.

There is no Map07 or Map30 demo in this pack for a reason; the completion
of these maps requires monsters to be killed - IWC Map07 is impossible to
make a demo for, as it has 666 and 667 tags in it, and Map30 I originially
though of recording and I did, but it was no help really as it is a very
easy map and what's more I procrastinated on it.  In Map15, I leave through
the secret exit.

To run these demos, type REQHELP followed by the map number (01-32).  This
will run DooM2.exe in the current path.  This needs my patch, BTW.  The
patch is too large for a reasonably-sized archive.

For those who have batchfilephobia, this command is required to run the
demos:

DOOM2 -file REQUIEM.WAD REQMUS.WAD REQPATCH.WAD -playdemo REQ??HLP.

where ?? is the level number.

Check the batch file if you want, there's no danger in it.  I am not a
fantastic player, so I sometimes snag on things like bars or rails around
the maps.  I am never stuck for long though, so that's alright really.

WHAT HAPPENED ON THOSE NINE DAYS OF RECORDING:

10/1: Got the idea to do Requiem help demos, as there were several sets for
      other WADs.  Did the first four maps and the two secret maps.  Also
      carried on Requiem secrets guide
11-14/1:
      Nothing happened-aroonie on the demo front.  I was too busy on other
      stuff, most of the time.
15/1: Did maps 5 and 6.
16/1: Did maps 8-14 but not 12 on account of it being not patched yet.
17/1: Tackled all 23 secrets of Map12 and patched it in places.
18/1: Had nothing to do really, so I did Maps 15-26 and Map28.
19/1: Tackled the two biggies, Map27 and 29, and re-recorded Maps 8 and 28.
      (the original runs sucked for them, there was lots of dashing about
      looking for what had happened.  Map8 was 6:42 and Map28 wad 2:34.)
20/1: Uploaded to CDROM.COM.
