Daikatana in-game speedrun demos

Note: Working demo downloads! It seems http://www.3ddownloads.com/ have changed their download directory structures to something remotely sensible so the links to my demos should now work (albeit via an intermediate window which is typical of gaming download sites). The map downloads may well not work but I assume you have or can find those otherwise.

Daikatana speedruns
I've done the first ever Daikatana speedruns. All demos involve proper tricks and shortcuts and some runs use curve jumping for extra speed (similar to bunny hopping / strafe jumping) - unfortunately, as in Quake 2 demos, this can make the demo a bit choppy when the player is moving fast. All demos are recorded in cooperative mode, but playing as a single player, as they would not be possible to run having to get the sidekicks to the exit.

How to play Daikatana demos:
1. Place the .dem demo file in \Daikatana\data\demos\ (you may need to create this \demos\ directory).
2. Start Daikatana, ensuring you are starting it with the console enabled.
3. Bring down the console, using the ~ key or the ` key (depending on keyboard). Type "demomap 'demoname'.dem", where 'demoname' is the name of the demo - no quote marks, but the .dem suffix is needed.
Note 1: These demos require Daikatana version 1.1 or 1.2 (i.e. patched) to play.
Note 2: The instructions in the demo texts are wrong: they should instruct you to type "demomap 'demoname.dem'"

All the demos in one big zip ( 560 k.).

This large zip includes the following individual level demos:

E1M3a - Solitary map 1 - Easy skill run in: 1:10

E1M7a - Vault map 1 - Easy skill run in: 0:47
