Auto-SR50 Clarification
8 years ago
New Jersey, USA

Hi there, I'm pretty new to the speedrunning scene, so I just wanted some clarification before I got started with my attempts. What constitutes auto-sr50?

For instance, if I'm using ZDoom, does that just mean having auto-run on, or is there more to it than that?

Automated sr-50 is something completely different, auto-run is, afaik, allowed.

Basically, there are two different types of strafing in doom:

Strafe-40: Which is simply holding forward + a strafe key while running (28% faster than normal running) and Strafe-50: Which requires holding a strafe-on key, forward, a strafe key and a turn key. (41% faster than normal running)

The automation of the latter is only legal in Tool-Assisted Speedruns, otherwise it is disallowed.

I'm pretty sure ZDoom does not have Strafe-50 automation, so you have nothing to worry about. If you use a source port like PrBoom, you will need to disable that in the options.

Welcome to the speedrunning community :)

Awesome, thanks for the response.

ZDoom and all it's subsequent forks have SR50, it just needs to be set up.
