The All Campaigns bhop script category was taken down over 3 months ago, and still hasn't been re-added. I don't see a reason for this, as the Main Campaigns bhop leaderboard still stands. I care very much about misc categories that nobody cares about or runs. I know my run is dogshit, but I plan on getting back into this game in the near future and getting a better time. Please add it back.

I'm currently routing All Campaigns, and I had an idea the other day.

If I were to play the main campaigns on v2.0.0.8, then switch over to the latest Steam version to do the DLCs, would that be allowed? It could end up saving a bit of time due to the numerous skips, (AKA sopping wet strats) and the game would still be done in one sitting a la single segment, so I don't see why it would be an issue, but I figured I'd ask before I went ahead and did a run just in case it's crazily frowned upon or something. I don't think any other run has used this method, but I can't be the only person to who's thought of this, right?

I was running The Passing earlier today, an hour through an all campaigns run, and I got a CTD (crash to desktop) while gathering gas cans for the finale. I ran L4D2 again, not sure if it would still count as a run since the campaign wouldn't technically be done in a single segment. I got all the gas cans into the generator, waited by the exit ramp, and boom, another CTD. Any idea what causes this? Has this happened to anyone else? Every other campaign works perfectly fine, but I can't seem to finish The Passing at all. I can't verify through Steam because I don't have stable internet.

Also, if I crash to desktop, would the run still be considered legitimate if I picked up where I left off, or would I have to start the campaign/run over again?

Please excuse the poor quality, it took almost two hours to upload this 30MB video with throttled 1X phone internet.

I mainly run the Original Campaigns solo misc category for now, and I have a couple of questions about the run, mainly to do with some certain binds and their legality.

Would the "changelevel" command be allowed? In the Left 4 Dead 2 forums here, I read up that using this command is allowed to switch between campaigns, rather than than exiting to the main menu after the ending. There seems to have been some controversy behind it, so I'd like to know if the same rule could be applied for this game, as well.

(Example: bind "f3" "changelevel l4d_airport01_greenhouse")

This could also be done with the "map (mapname)" command, so if using one is allowed/denied, I'll assume the other is the same. The only difference with this command is that pausing isn't allowed at all throughout the campaign, as I'm assuming it creates some type of local LAN server as opposed to a client instance.

(Example: bind "f4" "map l4d_farm01_hilltop")

Also, what about the crosshair commands? Would changing the crosshair to a custom one, rather than the default dynamic one, be allowed? By this, I mean using commands such as cl_crosshair_dynamic, cl_crosshair_thickness, cl_crosshair_red/green/blue/alpha, using the colorblind crosshair, and so on. This is purely cosmetic and will only be changed on the basis of preference. I tend to have a less intrusive and static crosshairs on other source games, but for the sake of run watch-ability and keeping the game as vanilla as possible, I can understand why this wouldn't be allowed. Although this won't serve as some sort of an immediate unfair advantage, this does beg the question of how much someone can change with the console and have a run still be considered legitimate; so this one doesn't matter as much in the long run, as the game is still 100% playable with the default crosshair.

These may be considered stupid questions with obvious answers, but I'm just trying to get my facts straight. I'd hate to get a PB and have it denied over something as silly as a crosshair.
