TOTAL - 4:03
E2M8 is not counted towards the episode record, so ingame time record is 3:23, an improvement of 4 seconds.
The reason M8 is not included is because dos version does not display the time for the final map. Even though that is no longer relevant as sourceports can determine the time, the convention is still kept.
Description:
This didn't take very long, I've been meaning to improve this episode since it was never any good. Not that this run is great, but it's at least a bit better :)
I was testing some smooth weapon animation for the video here, video without it here: youtu.be/hJWlEZFvsGU

Description:
This is a built demo, meaning each of the 7339 frames were entered manually. Some sections take quite a bit of effort to get right for several reasons including: monster manipulation, wallruns and momentum conservation, linedef skips, void glides and other misc things.
Ive been wanting to do an episode 1 TAS for a long time, because some time ago I discovered some new tricks that wouldnt be useful outside of a TAS.
E1M1: First I had to overcome the roadblock which is E1M1 in 7 seconds. Incredibly annoying to pull off, the wallruns at the start were hard to get right and getting around the monsters in the acid room was very time consuming. Fortunately I had no trouble grabbing the shotgun once I did manage to get to the second last door quick enough.
E1M2: The start was difficult, getting the wallruns and getting to the red key... but worst of all was going down those stairs, took so much effort to get it looking ok. I then had massive issues getting past some of the zombieguys for some reason, the rest was easy fortunately, only needed a lot of re rolls to get the needed monster movement in the last room.
E1M3: Figured the most difficult parts were done after E1M1, even thinking I could perhaps save 2 seconds on this level... but no, making it to the blue key was not too bad, but getting back through the hallway was absolute hell. Hallway blocked by imps, couldnt keep good momentum going through the hitscanners, if I could get through I would get blocked by the shotgunner by the door, and if I got past him I got blocked by the spectre instead. Eventually I managed to get through, but then I had an imp infront of the fence blocking a wallrun, and having lost too much time already I had to go back and re roll again.
E1M4: I saw no way of saving a second on this level. 9 seconds would be easy if you could somehow get the pinky to open the door for you, so who knows.
E1M5: It took a little bit of time to get the start smoothly, then once I was going to go up the stairs I was getting blocked by the imp and zombieguy. I had no ways of manipulating them so I ended up running around the imp at the bottom of the stairs so I could shoot earlier upstairs. I got all the way to the rocket launcher without any trouble and I was surprised that I finally had some luck going my way. Of course the door into the next area was closed and nothing was even close to opening that door. I decided to go again and the part where I was frustrated with the imp and zombieguy blocking my path no longer mattered, as I needed to get close to the window to wake up some monsters to open the door for me and so running around the zombieguy was fine.
Getting up to the secret area went rather smoothly, I think I got lucky by getting past the pinkies with some nice momentum so easily, but I dunno, could probably have been faster. Then theres the new E1M5 trick, going out of bounds and back in bounds almost immediately to save roughly 5 seconds total.
E1M6: I start with a linedef skip on the lowering wall and use a shotgunner to block it on the way back. I manage to reach yellow key a bit more quickly with the rocket launcher from E1M5, and then I use the new skip to go through the fence and save over a second. Some crazy speed, maxed out at 30 in both x and y direction and it lasts quite a while since Im in the air.
E1M7: Thought this level would be easy and Id get through it quickly... that probably would have been true if I didnt decide to go for a second improvement. The 3 areas that consumed the most time was the hallway after the big lift on the way to red key, the red key area and the entire last area. I wasnt expecting a couple of shotgunners to idle on the elevator, I was planning on firing a rocket towards the imps in the last area which would have been a massive help considering how long time that took to do, but that didnt look possible without losing time.
E1M8: Uses a void glide which is similar to E1M5, and with the more recent nomonsters trick it saves a lot of time by not having to wait for the pinky to do the void glide and it also being a more direct route to the exit.

Time: 6:57.66
Description:
Looked like a fun map to TAS since you have so many options on what to do.
Might be possible to do it in under 6 minutes, didnt put much effort into this so with cleaner movement, better route, more efficient ammo use and better luck I could see it being doable. Too much effort for me though, I think I got decent infighting here and since its just under 7 minutes its good enough for now. Not bothering with no damage taken would of course make things a lot easier.
Maybe Ill do a non-TAS run some day, under 20 minutes is possible.
Route:
Main idea: get the BFG immediately and try to get as much infighting going as possible.
BFG is easily available at the start here, yellow key is closest followed by red key and then blue key.
Not that many monsters at red key, but it doesnt take too much time to get to and a lot of the monsters will gather up at the edge of the entrace to that area, so it gets done second.
So first get yellow key as quickly as possible to get everything teleporting in and try to take out as many arch-viles and pain elementals as possible along the way.
Next Ill get red key and clear out the red key area so I dont have to go back that far and leave most the other monsters alive for infighting. It could maybe be faster to just leave immediately and come back for clean up later, but there werent enough monsters here for me to do that.
Then blue key, since the corridor is quite long and theres a lot of arch-viles I went with clearing it all out, another possibility would be to grab the key and leave while infighting happens and hope that enough monsters die for it to be worth running through a second time.
The rest is just clean up and get to the exit.
