(CB being an acronym for Change-Bug)

Overall we're very satisfied with the result (apart from dy_accident1). This is a project that we started with in April and got it completed in October. We haven't been working on it actively all the time though, we really started to get up the pace and get motivated when we discovered a new trick in September.

If you're interested in knowing more about the tricks and hearing our wonderful voices as we progress through Decay I really recommend to download the commentary. Really.
(Pardon me for my lack of a wider vocabulary by saying "basically" 999999 times)

Thanks to Zhouy & Rayv3x for letting us use their demo at dy_uplink. And you, FELip, our [CLAN LEADER], without you it wouldn't have been possible to finish this. Thanks :') Edit: Oh shit, I forgot to thank ReCover for letting us use his uploading service for the commentary (I tried uploading the speedrun at first but I couldn't get it to work, probably due to my computer being a wreck)

//Some notes by quadrazid

The most time saving script we're using in this run is a trick that we like to call the "change-bug". The purpose of the script is to get far up to the sky without the use of grenadeboosts or normalboosts. The Decay engine works so that whenever a person switches to the other player (as you can do in Decay), you maintain your speed that you had when you switched. So yeah, changing a player does not affect your movement.

For example; if you do a grenade boost and switch players just after the grenade explodes the player that the grenadebooster switches into gets the boost. By knowing this we figured out that if a player jumps and then switches to the other player just as he jumps, he's going to be in the air. By testing this even further we developed a script that made it possible for one player to freely gain as much height as they want to while the other player has to stand still.

What the script basically does is that it changes into the other player, makes a jump with that player and then changes back. A very time and health saving way to surpass many obstacles that before were completely impossible or only manageable with a grenadeboost.

Change-bug Demonstration

The script. (paste it into userconfig.cfg) Keep in mind that this script is lag sensitive. When we played the person who didn't host the server wasn't able to get it work correctly with around 50-60 ping. Less is needed for it to work. So therefore it only works for the host hosting the game or maybe if you're playing through LAN.

Change-bug script

Code:

//Gg-game
alias w wait
alias "c" "changeplayer"
alias "j" "+jump;w;-jump"
alias "rofl" "c;j;c"
bind q rofl

A script that works with lag but is less effective:

Code:

//Lol-loud
alias "ww" "w;w;w;w;w;w;w;w;w;w;w;w;w;w;w;w;w;w;w;w;w;w;w;w;w;w;w;w;w;w;W;w;w"
alias "pilly" "ww;c;w;j;c"
alias "woddie" "j;pilly;pilly"
bind "f" "woddie"

Our bunnyjump script: (loopscript)

Code:

bind "space" "+3"
alias +3 "alias _special 4;4"
alias -3 "alias _special;-jump"
alias 4 "5;wait;special"
alias 5 "7"
alias 7 "+jump;alias 5 8"
alias 8 "-jump;alias 5 7"

Hope you guys enjoy it! We had a lot of fun doing it :)

love the bloopers at the end xD
This run is so nice, I also like how you are annoying each other and play around. This is what I like in Coop games, you can make so much stupid funstuff and sometimes with very weird results

[Bolddrengen]

Very nice and smooth run, really liked the commentary aswell

[slYnki]

Downloading this sexy beast right now.

[FElip]

I know you would not been able to do this with out me, so you are welcome  
But seriously you have done a amazing speedrun nice work.

[DaleLewill]

Awesome coop-run, an entertaining and interesting commentary and nice video-design. Good stuff

[ReCover]

Okay. I have uploaded the run to my server now via ftp.

MQ: http://stefansundin.com/speedruns/HL_decay_ddq_2628_MQ.mp4

The problem you encountered when uploading the run was that the server terminated the connection since it took so long to upload. No one has ever tried to upload so big files using my upload script before, so I had never encountered this problem before. Hopefully I will be able to fix that bug later today.

Now to get back on topic.
Well done with the run! I especially liked all the new things you could do because you are running as two players, like shooting each other in the back, etc.

[Zhouy]

As others already said, the outcame of this became awesome! Good job!

Thanks a bunch Recover!
And to all the others!

Good to finally see a Decay run here.

1 segment per map

I watched the run and to me it looked like you start every level with full health and new weapons, so isn't it IL rather than OSPL?

That change bug BTW is just awesome! It's even cooler than flying in Half-Life 2!

PS: Nice accent in the AC. Bunny-yump?

Yes I'll guess you're right. We didn't play the maps in any particular order. And even if you do, you'll start ever map from scratch (100hp full ammo ect.) So yeah. I'll guess it's IL.

"Bunny-yump" lol, It's swenglish 

[Imrik]

Never played the game, but I enjoyed therun. The change bug was pretty cool.
I think bearnaisesås is sauce béarnaise or something in english
