For Categories, a system like Binding of Isaac would be good I think (1 char, 4 chars, 6 chars). A character variable for the 1 char category would be a plus. For rules, since the ingame timer is used, there are no real rule I think (except says it ends on killing Dragun or omething like that)
You have to own Portal to use source unpack, HL2 is not needed AFAIK.
I wonder if you can add the 1.1 version as a non steam game, it should work without problem and no need to bother with renaming folders, just launching the good version.
It was a bug that I'm pretty sure is fixed now. If you didn't enter the room, the enemy wouldn't "see" you.
I created a mod to reset the secrets in game : https://mega.nz/#!hw0lSRBJ!00HTZD8xJRPNWqnk8GLKBgCSG6BSxYtdmW2o8CqjhZk
It should be easier and faster to run "All secrets" with that :P
I'm pretty sure it's nohboard. It is a bit tricky to configure, but works with most of the games.
I might create a mod to reset it in game once I'm done with the autosplitter, nice tutorial though :P
Oh right, I guess the run is over then. You still can submit the run if you add the time the game wasn't running to the final time, but it'd be annoying for the mods to verify ...
Since relaunching the game gives no advantages, you can continue your run but the timer should keep running I think.
I've searched for a long time something like this, no external fps counter exists. I think I started to create one but I didn't finish because of a lack of time. I'll try to finish it in the next days.
You can't rebind keys in "build" mode, some are bound on left and forward keys on azerty keyboard, making movement in those directions impossible. For the interact key, it doesn't change the loot key if I remember well.
The only active mod (PotatoBacon) seems to not be a mod anymore, not sure why though.
Someone should request to be a mod here : http://www.speedrun.com/The_Site/thread/63nr7
Agree with all lasers category too.
Low% is beating the game by doing the least possible puzzle (114 at the moment)
The challenge% already exists in misc categories.
Nice, now we need to find a way to coverslide from Diamond City to Virgil :p BTW, where did you setup the coverslide ?
Depending on the setup, the route could be as simple as Diamond City > Virgil > Retrieve Power Armor from Greenetech Genetics > Fort Hagen.
Fusion Cores are usually sold in Good Neighbor, jet maybe aswell.
Happens to me sometimes too, i found that opening pip--boy only when loading icon disappear instead of spamming it makes it more consistent.
Nice skip :) Does the enemies spawn near the vault door is skipped too ? If it is, it may not be worth because the door opening animation will be played ...
EDIT : Just tested it, the enemies near vault door still spawns. Worth to do if executed fast, as you said.
dtphase just tried the kellog skip, and it seemed to work like it used to. You may have softlocked your game, or he was lucky, it needs investigation in both case.
If you correctly set up the lean glitch before, then there is no reason why it doesn't work. Try to use jet, then jump, then tab rather than at the same time. It shouldn't matter that much though, since jet and jump only increase the flight distance ...
As you said, it reads memory, so it won't work on console / screen capture unfortunatly ...
I think current runners are using an auto load removal plugin for LiveSplit. If that's so, every loading time (even in QL) are removed, which will be a pain to remove manually ...
