Quake 2 speedrun demos: Mission pack runs - Custom map runs
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.
Quake II mission pack and in-game speedruns:
Mission pack runs listed by mission pack, also including a couple of unique in-game map runs. The mission pack runs require either the The Reckoning mission pack or the Zaero mission pack. All of these runs are unique to this site, and use proper shortcuts and tricks, including many great and/or rare tricks.
How to play Quake II demos:
1. Place the demo file in c:\quake2\baseq2\demos, and ensure the required map is in c:\quake2\baseq2\maps.
2. If the map is a .pak map, place the demo in a "demos" folder in the same folder as the .pak, and start Quake II as you would to play that map.
3. Start Quake II, go to the console and type: "demomap demoname.dm2", where demoname is the name of the demo. The ".dm2" suffix is necessary.
4. If the demo starts with the console half down, bring down the console again, and retype the command.
Non-SDA in-game map runs:
A couple of demos on normal Id maps (so you can download and play straight away), but NOT using
SDA's method of using the "exec unit.cfg" command to start with the weapons for that unit. These runs start with just
the blaster, requiring some innovative tricks.
Command: "Launch Command" - Easy run in 0:37 / Working download
Good run with a cunning trick and some BFG jumps.
Waste3: "Waste Pumping Station2" - Easy run in 0:29 / Working download
Very cool run with a funky trick to start and various other shortcuts.
The Reckoning mission pack runs:
You need to have the Quake II mission pack "The Reckoning" to watch these demos.
Xswamp: "The Swamps" - Easy run in 0:20
Extremely big shortcut, nimbly outwitting the laser fence with a double jump.

Xmoon1: "Cargo Bay" - Easy speedrun in 0:23
Sexy shortcut using a low gravity double jump off a crate - very high =).
Zaero mission pack runs:
You need to have the Quake II commercial mission pack "Zaero" to watch these demos. You can find out about this mission pack at Team Evolve's
Zaero website, and of course read the review.
Zbase1: "Outer Perimeter" - Easy run in 0:37
Good, fast run with a barrel jump.
Zdef1: "Shield control" - Easy run in 0:44, Easy run with new route in
0:39
I've posted both runs as they are cool and use very different shortcuts, so both are well worth watching: the 44 run has a cunning shortcut using a secret, while the 39 run has
another good shortcut with a superb trick.
Zdef3: "Research Facility" - Easy run in 1:06
Despite the time, this uses a massive shortcut (and funky trick of course), a satisfying run.
Zwaste3: "Extraction Pump" - Easy run in 0:39
A small shortcut, but a real time saver and a very nice trick.
Ztomb3: "Energy Transformation" - Easy run in 0:58
Excellent run, with big shortcut using a very fresh and funky IRED mine jump and lots of action.
