Washington, USAWhy exactly did I get removed as mod? I was a super and now I'm not even a regular mod? Did someone do this or was it a simple system glitch? I'm assuming glitch since I don't think you can just drop a super like that.
Who removed the in-game timer default? We needed that for the 20 bounties category. I'm putting it back.
Bensaunders did it say that in the run rejection note or on the submission page?
we should test all platforms and find which ones this glitch exists on and then work out the fastest backup to fix it
if we were to set something like this up we would have a rta column and an igt column like in source games which have time with loads and time without and the igt column would just take math
I'll fix that to avoid future confusion, thank you Datimie for the question :)
Dveon the purpose of all of these categories is for
a) Providing a more accessible and shorter run for newcomers because not many people want to hop into a 3 and half to 4 hour game from nowhere.
and
b) To provide routes and optimizations. Routing a full game is hard and if it's this long it's harder. A few people in the community are figuring out 100% routing and checking an IL board is faster and easier than looking up a tutorial. ILs are rarely a contested thing and usually provide either an optimum goal time or an optimal route.
DS 100% should be a different game altogether because it's just to dissimilar to console/pc I'm trying to figure that one out now.
Is it possible to have an IL that has separate categories from other ILs? I'm trying to improve the Lego Star Wars Complete Saga Boards and some levels just play differently and wouldn't be divided into the categories that the other levels are.
I'm still trying to get a hold of the other mods to see how to deal with the situation and if you guys have fixes let me know.
zulice, I really like that category setup and it was basically what I was thinking as well. The only hangup about it is the previously recorded runs because a resetting of the rules would constitute either a weird retiming of each run or a full leaderboard wipe which would make people unhappy.
Also as a final note, Emericus I have full power on this game and the only thing stopping me from changing all of this is consent from other mods
UPDATE: Category names changed, rules will stay the same until I can fix them. Also categories reordered so they look better

Noted, I'll take care of that. Thinking Time ends on screen fading to black after final cutscene to keep times the same.
Emericus:
I'm working on figuring out the IL stuff because Challenge Levels are definitely a future goal as are Bounty Hunter missions, Bonus Levels, Lego City, and New Town. Challenge Levels can be added as a category which could be an easy fix The issue is that in ILs, categories apply to all levels so I'm trying to figure out how to get around that because the categories wouldn't apply to any of the weird extra levels.
I moderate lego Indiana Jones as well as this game and I think that the categories are much better set up on that game I'll try to contact the other mods because I would like to see a change as well, the categories look kinda weird.
Another option is super gonk/self destruct gonk droid because he's fast and can break metal bricks quickly
If it wouldn't be too much of a burden a retiming under the rules would be great :)
Hey sorry I didn't know how else to contact all of the mods in bulk but I wanted to post the recent changes I made
-IL boards for Story, Free Play, and Co-Op of each -Super Stories as Miscellaneous 1 player only categories
I wanted to just check here to make sure everyone is cool with how those were done and if not just let me know
Also non mods use this to provide feedback I'm super active here and willing to help :)
smkurki I added the Super Stories as Miscellaneous categories :)
Hey smkurki, nice job on the runs!
I put up an IL leaderboard just a few minutes ago so be sure to submit these there for people who don't check the forums.
As far as tricks, while this is only useful for 100% and Free Play ILs it should still be mentioned.
If you change characters in Free Play the moment after using a Super Jedi Slam it can effectively grant you a third jump which can be used for either height or distance. I'll update this post once I can upload a video of it. It works best with Grievous in my experience because he has a high jump and a Jedi Slam but he is also marginally slower so RTA tests need to happen to see how much time the extra jump height can save and if it's worth it.
