Yay, my first built demo.

A recent discussion on Doomworld made me interested in this
run again. I've never gotten 5 seconds before (and I still
have not un-"assisted"..probably never will, either) and I
wanted to get below those 6 seconds *somehow*. 

So I figured I'd make a built run. My first goal was just to
get below 6 seconds, but then I felt I had to at least do
"better" than the best unassisted time in this map. What
that means is a whole other question.. but *at least* the
time would have to be better.

Tiger "Panter" pilger has the speed and pacifist records for
map 1 on COMPET-N, with the time of 0:05.97, so that became
what I was aiming for.

I didn't worry too much about aesthetics in general.. But as
I, in the middle of building the demos, realised that Panter
did his pa01-005 without being hit, I felt I needed to achieve
that as well, and went back and changed some things. All for
the better I hope. :-)

I include two versions... I think the 0:05.59 is more "beautiful"
because of the changed ending (the demos are identical up to the
last 6 tenths or so). Maybe I'm just silly.

So -- I beat Panter's time... made it pacifist *and* didn't get
hit. Woo! I'm happy. :-D

The demos were made using LMPC 3.3 by Uwe Girlich. They play back
fine in Doom2.exe 1.9 and should play back fine in PrBoom and any
other source port that is compatible demo-wise to the original
game engine.

I'm not sure if anyone else ever did a built demo on this map,
I'd be interested to see it. I know Baum did a built nomo run of
it (that was 0.2 seconds quicker than the fastest of these), but
I'm talking about one with monsters.
