Doorways Chapter 4: Holy Mountains of Flesh Speedrun Notes

Doorways Chapter 4: Holy Mountains of Flesh v1.1 - CptBrian's speedrun notes and routing
http://www.speedrun.com/dwhmof

Global note1: Moving(swim, run, crouch, etc.) diagonally is 20% faster and lets you jump further as well.
Global note2: Spamming jump during autosaves or respawns gives you a double jump.
Global note3: Load times will probably be shorter if they're already cached(played before) or if you use SSD. Exclude from time.
Global note4: Spamming jump with the right angle against SOME/FEW objects or walls lets you scale them vertically...
...which isn't used in the route YET, but I have gotten out of bounds in some places.
Load time counts from the frame the load screen text or image shows up to the frame "LOADING" fades away entirely.

~~~~~ El Chacal - Part 1: ~~~~~

Time starts when a key is pressed on "PRESS ANY KEY"

Follow path > Pick up note > Get on platform > Get on next platform > Follow road until split > Take right(lower path) to town
Go left and climb over fence > Follow narrow paths to exit > Turn around and go down the left path > Turn left at stairs to other stairs
Follow path > Cross ledge > Jump gap > Follow path near the end to trigger platform spawn > Turn around and cross platforms
Climb over middle of fence > Follow path > Jump on stool > Jump into window

Side note: Jumping onto fences doesn't seem to save time, just run into them.
