Quake done double Quickest lite (QddQstlite) INTRODUCTION: Quake done double Quickest lite is a 2-player cooperative speedrun through all of Quake on the easy skill. This improves upon 'Quake done double Quick lite', which was released on June 22nd, 2006 - and completed the game in 9:55. To start things off, we should talk a little about the 'teamplay' mechanic. For those who aren't aware, teamplay is a multiplayer setting that prevents you from damaging your teammates. While this does do what it's intended, it also has a couple of oversights; the most notable being that while damage is not dealt, you do still gain knockback when hit. This also applies to self-damage from your own explosive weapons, as you are your own team, and essentially allows us to damage-boost and rocket-jump around without the restriction of health & armor. This setting has been a staple in coop runs for as long as they have been around, and this entire run has been planned around that very same mechanic. This should not be confused with god-mode, or any other kind of infinite health cheat, as damage from monsters and the various other hazards do still apply. INSTALLATION: Unzip qddqstlite into your main Quake directory (as if it were any other mod), and either launch with `-game qddqstlite` in the shortcut, or through the in-game mods menu if available. If the installation has been done correctly, you should now have access to the playback menu when launching. WATCHING THE MOVIE: 'Play QddQstlite' will continuously play all first-person demos, and 'Play Recam Version' the cinematics. All solo demos are also watchable in the 'Individual Demos' menu, together with a toggleable perspective option. Note: While this does work in the rerelease, the menu & playback options do not work entirely correctly, as well as maps like e2m6 & e1m5 being modified, causing them to look quite buggy. You can use the following keys during playback: F1 / slow-mo F2 / normal speed F3 / fast forward F5 / rewind (JoeQuake only) F9 / skips to next demo F10 / return to menu F11 / toggle music (Menu only) F12 / quit All POV's are also available to watch on YouTube: QddQstlite - https://youtu.be/KQoN0AgIX6k P1 POV - https://youtu.be/vn-N1XWWk4c P2 POV - https://youtu.be/fbvlREx2kTk Cinematic (Recam) - https://youtu.be/yaPpQJd025g Teaser Trailer - https://youtu.be/Fb2SfGqSOgw HOW THE RUN WAS RECORDED: A majority of the runs here were hosted over the internet using ZeroTier, excluding a select few that were done on LAN at various marathon events. Each level was recorded individually using roughly estimated stats, and later stitched together using a tool to recalculate player statistics for health, weapons & ammo to carry over correctly into the next, as well as determining if item pickups should occur or not. TIMING: As tradition with Quake SDA, the full-time is calculated by rounding down each level, and excluding intermission times & start maps.

Sphere for creating a demo editing utility exclusively for this project, which was used to fix-up a couple of bugs and inconsistencies; as well as adjusting spawn parameters to fit with previous levels. Joe for helping guide me through adding the final touches, as well as revamping the playback menu for this new project. And finally, a huge thank you to my fellow QdQ members, who each contributed immensely in pushing this lower than I could have ever dreamed.
