(1) Introduction

(1.1) What's Doom done Quick?

Doom done Quick is a speedrun through The Ultimate Doom on Ultra-Violence
skill, in 19:41. Until the release of the Doom source code, it wasn't
possible to connect different lmps together. The result didn't play back
correctly. But with the release of the source code, it became possible with
some small modification. In this run, every level was recorded separately,
and they were later connected (just like the other QdQ projects). See the
"More details about the run" section for more information.

(1.2) Installation instructions

Unzip ddq-1941.zip into your doom2 directory. Since it's impossible to have
all 4 episodes in one demo, there are 4 demos, one for each episode: they
are called ddq-ep1.lmp, ddq-ep2.lmp, ddq-ep3.lmp and ddq-ep4.lmp.

To play a single episode, type:

doom -playdemo ddq-ep?
Replace ? with the episode number, for example: doom -playdemo ddq-ep3
Or, to watch the entire movie, just run the included ddq.bat file.

You will need The Ultimate Doom version 1.9 to play back this demo! If you
have an earlier version of Doom, you will need to upgrade it, patches are
available from ftp.idsoftware.com. It is possible to play back episodes 2 and
3 under normal Doom v1.9, but you can only play episodes 1 and 4 with
The Ultimate Doom v1.9.

The utilities we used included:

DdQStats, a modified version of DosDoom. DosDoom is the Dos port of the Doom
source code, which also has a few other features. The official DosDoom page is
at http://www.frag.com/dosdoom. It was made by Chi Hoang. The modification
for DosDoom to make it possible to start with the right stats was done by
Yonatan Donner. DdQStats is also available from the QdQ page.

LMPC by Uwe Girlich to connect the demos together. It is available from
http://www.planetquake.com/demospecs/

(2) More details about the movie

(2.1) Timing

Just a quick explanation of why we say we completed Doom in 19:41.
Doom shows times for every level, except the last levels in every episode.
But since it is possible to find the exact times of those as well using
LMPC, we decided to include them as well. So the 19:41 time includes all 32
levels in this recording. (We didn't go to the secret levels, because it's
just a waste of time.)

(2.2) How the run was recorded

Each level was recorded separately on skill 4 (Ultra-Violence), starting
from the exact same stats we ended the previous level with. (It is possible
with DdQStats, available from the QdQ page.) Then the demos were connected
using LMPC into this run.
