Hello to all Need For Madness speedrunners or visitors of the NFM speedrunning page. I've gotten around to changing some stuff around as I got forwarded in a message I believe last month in regards to a few runs submitted to the leaderboards that more or less could provide advantages that needed to be addressed and so I've added a couple things to make sure this is rectified accordingly.

UNIVERSAL CHANGES:

• Added a required "Pause Strats?" variable INDIVIDUAL LEVEL CHANGES:
• Added Official Mode + Practice Mode subcategories

First thing to address is the "Pause Strats?" variable. What is Pause Strats exactly? Well, if you look at the most recent runs of Flameblade, Pause Strats is essentially pausing the game every so often with such a short pause-unpause window that the game's capped FPS, which I think is supposed to be 21.6???, goes uncapped for a couple seconds which actually speeds the game up providing a faster run because if you've noticed when opening NFM for the first time and immediately loading up a level or ANY NFM game/fangame in general, you notice you start out super fast and out of control, but once the game caps the framerate it becomes the normal gameplay you're familiar with. Due to this, I added a variable where anybody can use the strategy but still knows with or without said strategy of who's still the fastest runner with this in mind.

Second, the Official and Practice Mode subcategories for IL's, this one's a no brainer as some people might get IL times from Sum of Best splits in the middle of a run and want to submit them, don't get me wrong I'd do the same thing, but since this involves AI cars, any AI cars present in a run must be put under Official Mode. Practice Mode should only be used if you're the only vehicle on the track doing a basic Time Trial standard race where AI has no influence on what you're doing at any given moment as it'll solely be user input and user error.

Now that these changes are added, hopefully things should be put in order and I hope this resolves any confusion even though personally I haven't kept in touch with what goes on, I just make sure runs are verified as best as I can get them to be. Happy running!

Hello fellow FNaF Ultimate Custom Night speedrunners, it has come to my attention recently that there were runs submitted from console players such as PS5 and Xbox. For this reason, I decided to check the platform releases for this game online and have added them accordingly to their release. Feel free to submit any console runs using the new platform options available to you and good luck with your future speedruns!

Best regards,

To our fellow community members and runners, lately the moderation team over on our Community Discord have been discussing the removal of the subcategory “Unscrew/Slasher” on the FNaF World leaderboards and have the “Damage” subcategory preceding ALL future runs on ALL categories from now on but not as a subcategory anymore. Now it’s important to know what we, as moderators, originally discussed so you understand the full context of why this consideration was being taken.

We, the moderation team, felt like the two subcategories themselves were cluttering the SRC boards (Screenshot provided by Dark: https://gyazo.com/7f5f12c4fb5a1c51eebc5bf6b6589ba6 however, due to the nature of the situation, while we try to keep decisions in the best interest for the moderation team and the general community, we ran a poll specifically for our FNaF World runners over on the Community Discord and the majority of our members wanted to keep the “Unscrew/Slasher” runs.

Now, for any long time members of FNaF World have or should’ve known, this is NOT the first time we discussed the ban on runs specifically using Unscrew, the last time being with GarlicBox on the 28th of November, 2017; however, due to the account being deleted, this post here: (https://www.speedrun.com/fnafworld/thread/arkg9) will be out of context and very outdated.

Why do I bring any of this stuff up? Well, it’s more or less the Unscrew/Esc Key chances being between 1-2% of success on instantly killing bosses regardless of the difficulty per use. With these sorts of odds at stake, this makes runs FAR MORE inconsistent and reliant on RNG than they ever were in the past regardless of how optimized the runs we currently have today. This is why as of recent events we considered cutting this subcategory entirely but with the majority opinion of our community members for this game wanting to preserve these runs, we had to come up with something for the best of both worlds.

Right now as it currently stands, a compromise the moderation team is considering moving ALL runs from the “Unscrew/Slasher” subcategory as its own category over on the FNaF World Category Extensions board to not only preserve the runs that our community members for FNaF World on the Community Discord voted for, but it also clears up the main FNaF World SRC board from being cluttered to help ease things up for our moderation team; however, there’s still concerns about community input over this matter, and this is where you guys comes in.

This will be an open discussion post, so feel free to leave your opinions whether this is one of our community mods adding more to the discussion or one of you, our dedicated runners of this game. Remember, us moderators will be relying on this critical piece of feedback as a means of discussing where the direction of this subcategory will go next and finalize the course of action from there.

We hope all of you stay safe and have a wonderful day!

It would be interesting to see a 100% category of this game, not only getting all 124 deedees, but also getting all of the engines available repaired within the game, but I can also understand if this can be quite a work load to get around with.

The topic of this thread is going to discuss what I was told about very recently regarding the speedruns sent to this leaderboard in regards to the loading times to all the Current Patch runs for PC in the Any% category.

I was told of the amount of anomalies this leaderboard by another moderator of the FNaF series, ZombieGabriel, through the concerns of another user who brought up this issue that was having ~7 second load times, with me and ZombieGabriel managing ~low 6 second loads and xDarkHeart's ~Mid to Low 5 second load times.

The runs in question were put on the spotlight for having ~1.5 second load times consistent throughout each of the nights in question, as to proving their own claims.. that's going to be quite the stretch considering these times seemed to have been drawn up from what the footage total was presented and not some accurate measurement.

A major thing I noticed is that the runs where these load times in question were this low were the runs that did NOT include a timer on the screen which would prevent splicing up footage because that would be fucking retarded and an absolute dumb move IF one were to do this.

However, there's also a clear difference with load times between Current and Legacy patch. Legacy patch has much faster load times, meaning the WR time on the leaderboard for PC Any% Legacy Patch makes a LOT more sense than the current patch and is reasonably understandable as to why it's much faster.

Current patch; however, is a completely different scenario entirely. With xDarkHeart having a time of 1:29, ZombieGabriel claiming he can definitely get 1:33, and for me, more than likely around those times too, we have this conflicting issue with what times are legit due to the increase in load times.

Since Current Patch can NEVER be faster than Legacy patch, that means if the WR is lower than Legacy patch, then more than likely that run is not legit, oh and if you want to know how fast the load time for the WR of Any% PC Current patch was? It was 1.132 seconds.

Unless there's some sort of load manipulation trick or anything, these sorts of runs are not legit by all means and the leaderboards will have to be reevaluated for further validity of each and every run here, and I'll leave a link below to my load time testing with my current PC stuff to get an idea of what I mustered, although not perfect, but outside of this test I got a mid 1:35 time, just to give you more perspective about this issue.

Anyways, I'll leave this thread up to discussion with other community members and other leaderboard moderators, have a good Christmas or happy holidays (Which ever you prefer), and I'll leave this up to the people, and if anyone is willing to help the mods in fixing the leaderboards, that would be greatly appreciated. :)

So, just like the title says, I'm changing the current categories that are currently present in FNaFB 1 as of today, I'm adding categories so that the current ones don't get lost or reset and this will also help change some of the stuff like getting only Kingly or Godly weapons in the 100% categories, I've only managed to do some of the work early this morning but I'm gonna continue the rest when I get home by the time this is posted.

I haven't decided whether or not to add in Q Scenario categories because I never tried it and I don't know if I should have Any% and 100% categories for it as well, so until then, the leaderboard will be as it is, I'll try my best to get FNaFB 2 and 3 refined once people start making more runs for those games but I still care about this series, yeah I may have been very lack luster on submitting my runs to keep this active and showing that this game can be ran a lot faster than you think, but I just never had the time cause my computers keep breaking from hard drive problems and it's been killing a lot of my motivation but I do wanna run this game again so I can improve not only this leaderboard but the other two leaderboards as well, I hope I can help to the best of my ability to improve the skill ceiling for not only the players but also to improve the leaderboards the best I can.

If you have any thoughts on this, make your voice known, I won't stop you so that I can understand what I need to do to help this leaderboard a lot more.

So, I recently had this thought in my head after rethinking some things with FNaF World and I was thinking about TAS/Segmented based runs where you get to see the magic of what a run could potentially have in terms of but not limited to: Best RNG, Fastest Movement, Clean executions, etc.

This got me thinking of why not bring some of the FNaF World community together and since we don't have anything to TAS FNaF World, I was thinking of doing a segmented run for the categories that people would most likely play in the future and have splicings of each individual segment and then put them all together to make it look like a perfect run to make a simulation of what a perfect run on a specific FNaF World category would look like and this could potentially get some people in the community together and help out to make this work, plus this will pique peoples interest in the game and possibly having more people come and play the game for themselves and we can help grow the leaderboards, a win/win for everyone!

Now yes, there is some limitations that can make a segment or 2 here and there be just a tiny bit slower than what you could max out for a specific segment, and not to mention that not everyone has the best equipment here (for example me with a Windows XP) but that doesn't mean that anyone else that's kinda in my situation won't be able to contribute, if there's a part in the game that runs at a smooth 60 FPS for you, then stick with it if you're more than happy with contributing to that section.

Now onto crediting the runners, anyone that has submitted a segment (after we give you some quick feedback on improving it to make it the fastest to be more accurate) and remember, anyone can participate in this, will have their name show up in the corner where everyone can visibly see along with your name for that entire segment recording you made to show thanks for your contribution to the community as it will definitely be appreciated!

Now before I go into specifics, about editing the segmented runs, DON'T put your name for your individual segment in the recording that you made! Your name will be within the first frame to the last frame of your segment recording that you will give to one of us (I don't know who would be in charge of doing the editing so we're gonna have to decide on that) and then we will have all of those edited segments with the names included all in one for a complete segmented run video of the best time you could get for said category and will be gladly uploaded to YouTube and be put in a playlist that we will link in a separate forum post for everyone to check out all of the segmented runs this community has managed to make so far!

I think this will get some of us back in the groove of things and this will involve everybody so don't be afraid to help out! it will be all good and fun for all of us!

Last night, me and ZombieGabriel were in a Discord VC while Gabe was doing Hard Mode Rainbow Ending and in that same run, he managed to get a 4:04 FIS Jack O' Bonnie split and was wondering if it was community World Record based on the conversation we also had during the call where I discussed about me having a 1:20 CMR (Not recorded but I have the screenshot) while someone on YouTube had a 1:01 CMR time but didn't say if it was an official WR. I think it would be fun to see if all 4 Update 2 minigames to have their own category because it would be a fun gimmick type category for everyone to try, and I would surely do CMR even though it's the only minigame to have an ingame timer, I think RTA and IGT for CMR would be appropriate so that it shows more of a skill gap between players and it could also give more competition :D

Now I get that Foxy Fighters is a strange one to even speedrun but to really speedrun that one, you really do have to kill all the enemies for a specific section really quickly and you need to be almost right next to Souldozer just enough so you don't take damage but also damage him quickly and I think that's what also influences the time along with the the ships leaving the screen if the AI will be closer to you so it's RNG just for the ending of the minigame, maybe Score could be an optional part of the submission if we do separate Any% to A Rank.

Foxy.exe is also a very strange one because of the strategy that's involved but RNG does play a factor on the second screen and depending if you got jumpscared on the second screen, it can influence the skips for the 3rd screen, so I can see times being a bit more spread out than FF but not as much.

Freddy In Space is questionable due to the FPS droppage in the Bubble Section which can really make a huge difference in the competition. I would only see the Any% Category for FIS to truly have an optional "Cupcakes Grabbed" to show a larger time range between cupcakes being a difference in runs which surely do but the damage is a bit bare but it's really up to the moderator.

I wouldn't mind taking the time to run all 4 minigames over and over just to try and get simple timesaves because it gives everyone some sort of "Practice" especially for categories like 100%, 157%, Rainbow Ending, Chipper Ending, and any other category that includes Adventure Mode if necessary until otherwise.

If anyone else has anything to add to this suggestion, feel free to do so! What do you think of this suggestion? let me know your thoughts about these new Misc. categories being a potential interest for future runners! Have questions about my suggestion? Don't be afraid to ask me, I'm almost always available 24/7 and I will respond when I can.

For a few months now, Me, ZombieGabriel, and Puppyguy9 had an official Discord Server for FNaF World that the 3 of us had made but barely used at all. Since the recent events of having 2 new runners come in within the last week and giving them both invites and of course being asked by Pupper himself about, "is there not a link to the FNaF World discord on the Speedrun.com forums? I can't find it :p" so I decided to make this forum post regarding from last night so for any of those who want to try this game out yourselves, talk about new potential routes and strats, or want to ask us about certain things, join us here: https://discord.gg/svtgUFx

We hope this community does grow larger sometime in the near future because there's still a lot of potential to squeeze out from this game and if you know that you can do something like this but you haven't taken the time to do so, then what're you waiting for? JUST... DO IT!

So, after getting RPG Maker and checking through the FNaFB game itself, I found out that there's a crack next to the cake table that leads you to another hidden room like the Debug room but it leads you to a new section where you fight against the playing cards and they have a 1/40 chance of dropping Godly weapons and their HP's are higher than the Gammas and only 2 are higher than the Delta by almost double the HP. After a quick research, I found out based on the wiki page here: http://five-nights-at-fboys.wikia.com/wiki/Godly_Weapons#comm-3633

Apparently, after defeating all of the cameras the crack appears for the room itself meaning that there could be a new category like the Ace scenario or something similar to that since there could be another possible ending to the game but I have to reach the end location in order to be sure.

So just recently after having a new competitor going up against the top dogs of this leaderboard getting either close or breaking the WR's for some of the FNaF World categories which we all know them by their alias: Alice Soaker

Alice Soaker, the one who came by and earned themselves some pretty nice records after only joining speedrun.com and YouTube, "VERY" recently, has deleted their videos of their speedruns and are now unavailable for viewing as of now.

The only videos left of Alice Soaker on YouTube is the 3 videos they shared on Reddit about them beating the major bosses without any additional assistance from most of the games mechanics that we're used to which I will link here: https://www.reddit.com/r/fivenightsatfreddys/comments/6vjerr/i_beat_the_three_endgame_bosses_in_fnaf_world_on/

It's unknown as to why Alice Soaker would delete their videos in the first place as they seemed to have gotten nice records, that is until what happened during Puppyguy9's stream on Sister Location the other day in the chat. Some of the people who've been with Puppy for a while had suspicions on, "if Alice was cheating" because of the load times they achieved which I think was between ~2-3 seconds on a loading screen, and one person in the stream chat said that on their, "best computer" they stated that they, "could only achieve 6.8 seconds" in load times as opposed to the 2-3 second load times Alice managed in their runs.

Even though I witnessed people starting a bit of drama in the chat about Alice, I will confirm that I've never checked back on those videos and see if there was actually drama in the comments section or what because I thought Alice was pretty good as a runner who could've been sitting in the shadows just watching our runs and analyzing them to see how we got our records and I will admit some of the stuff Alice said like the FredBears in Clock Ending actually had me shocked cause Alice did find a new timesave for any runs that include Clock Ending as part of the category and it really surprised me that Alice wants to delete their speedrun.com account after getting these awesome records: http://www.speedrun.com/AliceSoaker/allposts

Along with having a 15K+ Karma account on Reddit and the fact that their YouTube channel doesn't have the records anymore: http://imgur.com/zDY0pIY

Does this mean that Alice faked the runs after the drama stirred up or did Alice do this as a decoy to throw us off or what? Considering Alice, when I gave them the Discord invite and finally noticed them in the Discord server at 5 AM cause Russia and the US have very different time zones, Alice left the next day in the middle of the afternoon and that's what really confused me in the first place about them, if I just gave you the Discord invite to join our Speedrunner Discord server for FNaF World after me and Gabe were being nice to Alice, why would you leave the very next day without knowing that someone like me will notice it immediately.

If Alice's account does get deleted from speedrun.com, would it be safe to say to delete those records as we can't view them anymore on Alice's YouTube channel to clear space for any runs that are deleted from the public eye?

I wish Alice would've at least made a reason as to why they deleted their videos in the first place so we could understand their situation better instead of just shadily doing all of that stuff and of course when the drama started in Puppy's chat, that's when I started to have a suspicion as well but I just wanted to focus on my own channel and my own speedruns because it's not usually the best to go on a witch hunt and rather just stay out of it and hopefully the story should come through and in this case, it really did come in sooner than expected.

To: EeveeSRL, it's your call to make a decision on this matter since you're the only moderator in control of this page as of now.

To: Anyone else viewing this thread: What're your thoughts on this situation? Personally, I have no clue why Alice did this in the first place and I just wanted to shed light on this issue because I noticed all of this happened just a few hours ago from posting this.

I know this may be a stupid question but for 100% it kinda doesn't tell me specifically about Kingly Weapons being required for 100%, for people who are new to this game and want to speedrun it as well should be able to have specifics of somethings for categories like 100% because if it's just shop weapons that count then it would seem pretty easy, but to someone who doesn't know the specifics and Kingly Weapons are required but the player doesn't know, then once they make the video and release it then they might feel stupid that they didn't know about the weapons in the first place and could get heavily criticized for it, a bit confusing for newcomers but for people who knew about the game for a while does know that they don't need to worry about this being an issue.

Just a suggestion for the 100% rules so people new to running this game know what they need to do "Exactly" as they need to be doing so in the end there isn't any confusion with any new run submissions in the future.

I was doing some testing for Ultimate 100% when I got a random enemy encounter as I was on top of the trigger sequence to start the Browboy fight. I ran from the enemy so I could continue along but after I successfully ran from the enemy, I was immediately thrown into the Browboy fight with a lot of crazy stuff happening at once. I explain everything that happened before, during the Browboy fight in the video because that's where everything had happened.

Well, hello to all the fellow speedrunners in this community, I've been new to the speedrunning scene for the past few months and I've been trying my best to keep my runs as legit as they can possibly be so I'm at least honest to the people when I submit my runs. I hope to do a lot more runs in the future and I'm happy for some of the records that I made on the games I already started running from time to time but I hope that I can keep speedrunning despite being limited to a Windows Vista and a Razer Game Booster Video Capture! Wish me the best of luck on my future runs!

I'm new to this speedrunning community for Fnaf World and I'm currently segmenting the True 100% Adventure mode Run for this game. Any tips on helping me would be appreciated and I've probably spent about 5 hours once it hits 10 PM where I live that I would've been working on segmenting the damn splits because I really did scope out the fastest path that I think is shown for me and I also wanna help those with weaker PC's or those who want to record Fnaf World with this program called DXWnd a free tool that can make games that Auto full screen be windowed to your liking and this has helped me a lot with segmenting this game while I'm playing so I don't waste time going back and forth between the two screens. Have a good day and I hope the DXWnd tool helps cause I had to find a tutorial for setting this game to windowed mode to the first place and it can be a good resource too!

I've noticed that both Dark and Anti Graviton isn't shown in the Individual Level Leaderboards. Hopefully fix that in no time :)

I was looking at the level leaderboard section and I just noticed that the level Drug Lab is spelled Drug Lap. I know it's a minor mistake but I just saw it today.
