I was actually kind of hoping for some speedrun action in my sm143. Did it just suck too much or are speedrunners afraid of tarbabies?
I haven't been the one posting maps on SDA in ages, so my guess is as good as yours as to why they haven't been added to the archive. I don't see anything wrong in adding both your maps from the sm143 pack though, they both play fine, though they're definitely not "speedrunning friendly" :-)
If you say so, then that's probably the reason why they haven't been added it (the space map).
I just though multiple routes and strafejumps from button to button would be interesting - but then again, I don't know enough about both the theory and practice of speedrunning to be able to tell what it takes (for a map to be worthy). The most likely answer to that would be no. We almost never add maps to the SDA archive with custom progs/models/sounds. There's a good reason for that though. QdQstats need to be integrated into maps with its own progs, and that's a lot of work, unfortunately. We've made a few exceptions over the years though. I can't remember when the most recent one was, but it's been several years :-/ We've been discussing if we could somehow integrate the QdQstats progs into Quoth2 as you mappers seem to really dig that.
Well, your sm143 maps aren't neccesarily "bad" for speedrunning, they just don't "encourage" speedrunning very much. There's no explosive weapons, something we like a lot. We also like barrels from which we can boost. In fact, anything from which the player can gain speed in some way or the other. Too many obstacles and narrow corridors are annoying when trying to run the game fast. Anything that slows the player down is considered "bad" for speedrunning, like water, slow lifts, stairs on which you have to jump, etc etc :-)
that's good advice Stubgaard, since there was talk about a sm pack with a "speedrunning" theme.
Explosive stuff, slopes, and pretty open and obstacle free maps then, I guess. Have to look at some dedicated speedrunning maps sometimes... We've had four demo updates since I posted the last one on Func on April 13th. Here's all four merged into one:

metlslime: Alright.
We're running a Quake contest over at SDA at the moment. It's the "easiest" one we've ever had, seeing as the demos will only be 2-3 seconds long, so I think it's safe to say anyone can enter, top notch speedrunner or not :-) Would be cool to see some func regulars having a go at it. Contest page: http://speeddemosarchive.com/quake/contests/shamhell-revisit.html Contest forum thread: http://speeddemosarchive.com/forum/index.php/topic,10286.0.html Three maps have been added to the SDA archive:
- czg00 - Tower Of Obscurity by CZG - q1tm2_czg - Hard Traffic by CZG - ksp1 - Libris Vertiginis by Kell Both of CZG's maps aren't of the highest quality if you prefer pretty looking maps, but at SDA we only care about speed (mostly) ;-) Kell's map is kickass material, and it's a mystery to me why we haven't added it to the archives until now. Better late than never though. More maps will be added soon. http://speeddemosarchive.com/quake ...to say that if any of you mappers have a suggestion for a map we should, feel free to give us a nod in the right direction. Quoth maps aren't supported at SDA, at least not yet. We prefer vanilla
were there any plans to add more videos to the youtube thing? after the initial update, i haven't seen anything else added...
Yep, I just haven't gotten that far yet. We've had a ton of stuff on our plate we needed to wrap up first, but I will catch up with the encodings and such soon :-)
metlslime: I've been thinking, I don't think SDA updates are fit as a separate news post here on func. It's a mapping forum (mostly), not a speedrunning forum, so I'll keep posting in this thread whenever something new happens on SDA, if that's alright with you of course?
