Non vanilla demo

Post by fx »

I noticed one demo that's not compatible with lmpc, and when I opened it I saw it contains some data after demo end marker which means it's not a vanilla demo at all. Since COMPET-N was abandoned at time this was uploaded (late 2006) I'm just wondering if this was a mistake or Donatas didn't care and uploaded "cheated" demo?

That is strange, at DSDA there's not a single PrBoom demo by Donatas (Vile map23 doesn't count, there was no info about the engine in the txt, I assume it was Boom 2.02). His recordings are Doom2.exe for vanilla, Doom2+ for limit removing and plain "vanilla" Boom for others. I won't try to speculate here, maybe I could achieve an exit myself on Nightmare... I'll try as I see you removed the demo from the DB.

Demo is not valid, that's for sure. How did it get here or was it even submitted by Donatas, I don't know. Maybe someone knows something and can explain. I'm waiting for some clarification :)

Why, between 2005-2009 the /incoming folder was working fine, everyone was putting demos there.

Good, that gives some idea what was done. Unfortunately, demo will be removed permanently from db and moved to misc demos. Do not tickle with demos! :facepalm:
Anyway, thank you vdgg for help and new demo ;)
