probably to prevent a general piracy lawsuit, if Nintendo has their address & names, it's reasonable to assume others have as well and taking precautions for that is good.
PS4
If you have PSPlus, there's the Monster Hunter World Iceborne Beta going on right now, (or starting on the 28th if you don't have PSPlus) Monster Hunter is generally pretty fun to play fast, as getting better at it in general & speedrunning go hand in hand.
If you want to invest the time, any Zelda game is fun & certain emulators are allowed on most of them.
for PC, I could recommend Divinity: Original Sin 2, CrossCode & Disgaea 2.
I'mma post in here again just in case the old thread is no longer valid for feedback. Note I'm also gonna address things this redesign didn't touch up on that the old design had issues with. such as missing features & bugs.
My biggest complaint about the redesign is the bloating compared to the old design. the old design already had issues with way too much padding being used (subcategories especially) but the redesign seems to take that issue and apply it to basically everything. In addition to it not bringing anything new to the game or fixing any of the issues we faced before.
ILs have grown in size by about 25-50%, meaning games with a lot of ILs like MHXX have scroll-times way longer than they have any right to have. the Top-bar has grown 10px for no reason, Categories now take 500% more space, so you have 2 rows at 3 categories, despite the (empty) tag being gone to save space now.
Themes: Everyone wants them, few can actually use them effectively. New Layout's colour-theory is great, you have the backgrounds of the top-bar, and the labels as splashes of colour in the dark/white themes of the page, love that part - but then we have:
- Link Colour being the exact same as the Theme colour, which means dark themes are unusable because links now lack contrast.
- Use white as your theme colour and you now can't distinguish links in regular text, such as the rules or forum threads.
- Usernames are illegible on certain theme colours (give the name a border)
It'd be great if we had at least a little more control over what is coloured how.
Bugs:
- (?) User needs to set Theme colour for background to apply
- (?) User-Theme background does not apply to any theme-less page other than profile
Profile:
Games on Profiles seem more orderly now, great improvement there, but again with the bloating, but this time on the buttons for misc/obsolete. is there a reason for putting them on a seperate line instead of making them share one? (idk, put them above the line, that would work?)
Moving forward, for Profiles, can we have some more... order?
When enabling Obsolete runs, it'd be really nice if the obsolete runs were clustered below the current PB, sorted by category, so to speak.
Multiplayer runs, as of right now, look messy at best. it'd be cool if the names could be stylized like the @ if no name is attached (dark, smaller than regular text, place the names in as few lines as possible below the category)
Long Category names, IL-names & categories with lots of variables, could we get a similar solution as with the above? just something more ordered, instead of just slapped right behind the category name.
IL page: More sorting options please? right now it's sorted by first run of game, and only that. if you run Final Fantasy 10, then 8, then 7, then 15, (we're just going to assume they all have ILs) then you'd end up with a weird unsorted list, with no reference as to why they're sorted like that to guests. (dates aren't shown on the IL-Page)
- Add Alphabetical Sorting-Option for IL-Page
- Possibly figure out a solution to multiple non-obsolete runs in one category/level confusing guests?
- User-option to keep IL names to 1 row by cutting them off with "..."
Bugs:
- Sometimes breaks (see Tron_Javolta's IL page)
Leaderboards
As said above, categories take up way more space than before, despite the (empty) thing being gone to save space on empty categories. same goes for the menu, it just expanded downward to the point where it doesn't even display the moderators on page-load.
Subcategories have the same issue they had before the redesign, and that's the clash for space with the Filter & Rules buttons. they both share 50% equally, even tho the latter only needing 30% at best. this leads to subcategories getting split onto 2 rows when they could fit on 1, and this leads to the other issue the split leads to: "what's this related to?"
Anyone who would see 2 rows where the first row is neatly connected to each other, and the 2nd row only has one button would assume the 2nd row does not belong to the first, and does something different, here it would be better to either make sure they stay on one line, or box them together instead of visually parting them from each other.
IIRC it was said that the 000ms thing not showing up would become an option, or would still show now if it's 000 and other runs have ms. this is still not the case and causes order to be interrupted.
additionally: would it be possible to have the numbers be perfectly aligned? if a run has 10min, and another 8min, the 10min run's secs & ms are a bit offset.
additionally additionally: could the same thing apply to names & flags? them not being aligned makes it harder to read and the flags break up the read-flow.
Bugs:
-
Variables that don't affect the currently viewed category, but affect Full-Game, are shown in the Filter dropdown regardless. so when multiple variables with the same name are applied to full-game categories, this leads to confusion as to which of them is the correct one.
-
Subcategories that are split onto a new row are missing the left border.
IL Leaderboard:
Nothing new to say here really, just: did the IL rows have to get bigger? see MHXX for page-size madness that shouldn't be as long as it is.
Maybe consider allowing ILs to be split up or new Leaderboard pages to be created for better sorting.
For all the "japanese" options, like cover, names, etc. you cannot add ILs with just katakana, hiragana or kanji. please fix, this is especially important for games that are only released with japanese text. otherwise one would have to rely on other means of listing them like translating them or using latin text. (as in, the same issue for why jp names got removed from games)
Edit Game Pages:
Looks more ordered, great! Game types thread link is still wrong, tho.
Tags might need a small re-ordering, put Genre into one column by itself and the other 4 in a 2x2, it's seldom that a game has more than 1 engine, or more than 1 dev & publisher / series, but the majority of games have more than 1 genre, so that field usually grows, and that results in weird empty space.
Variables don't show what they're assigned to anymore next to the name, so with more complex setups you now need multiple clicks to make sure you're editing the right one. (e.g. if you have 3 categories, but something only applies to 2, you need to create 2 duplicate variables, but you can't see which is applied to what.)
and the most infuriating thing that plagues me since setting up MHXX: Moving anything or adding new stuff to the top of the list. is it too much to ask for a "insert here" or "move to spot x" button?
TL;DR:
All in all, a nice redesign. BUT the site in general needs a lot of polish & QoL updates to make use of it. As it is right now, it's like you'd put makeup on a 50yr old, the face might look like 20 now, but the body is still clunky & cracking.
It is a good foundation for a more modern site, but now you need to show that you actually mean it and push to not only make it modern visually, but also functionally.
There's still so much QoL that was planned & prototyped, but never made it to us users yet, such as timing & sorting settings per category.
The Feedback thread is full of great ideas that seemingly go unheard, and the highscores debate is still ongoing.
I hope we'll see more steps in the right direction in the future. like, actually using the patreon.
I'm plugging my css edit here again, because IMO the site, as is, is too bloated to use effectively. https://hastebin.com/ipigecejal.css
until it's fixed, you can use this bit of css to give them a background

I use the Live Gamer HD Lite and it works perfectly fine, no delay on it as far as I can tell on passthrough, I tend to use it to record my desktop from time to time as well. only issue with it is the limited resolution/framerate. maximum it can do is 1080p30, or 720p60.
@Urinstein oh definitely, that's why I added an underline, so they're at least somewhat distinguished. tbf, not the best solution, but the best I can manage for now.
I know I'm always a party-pooper, but I feel like the new theme feels a bit "bloated" in size. Links being the exact same colour as the theme isn't exactly friendly for contrast, as for dark-theme you're now limited to 20% of the available colours.
[Section=Overview]
I've made a "quick" edit of how I'd improve the site:
- Links no longer take after the theme colour, so you have a good contrast on links w/o sacrificing customization.
- everything is more compact.
- made text 1px smaller everywhere
- added a gradient to the theme
- Links in the rule-section are underlined so you can differentiate them from regular text
- Changed font to verdana

And again, it's not on livesplit, everything in livesplit works as it should. you either try to put a run that doesn't have splits and thus can't be valid like you claim, or you're trying to link your livesplit to another user's run, which is also not valid.

my favourite is Espeon, because you start with it in Colosseum.
If neither FRAPS not OBS work on your PC, maybe look into what's wrong with your PC, both of these programs are used, and have been used, by a really large amount of people. Neither of them working properly on your PC only means there's something up with it.
but it's proper this way?!
you can't say 5th is 2nd when there's 4 people that are in front of him
To have a Ruleset added to the list, post here with a detailed explanation of what is & what is not allowed, as well as why it should be listed.
Current Rulesets:
Time Attack (verified) Runs that are following the TA wiki ruleset, and are verified on the TA wiki leaderboard. http://mhw.wiki-db.com/howtosolota http://mhw.wiki-db.com/howtosolota_en
Time Attack (unverified) Runs that are following the TA wiki ruleset, but are not able to be verified on the TA wiki leaderboard. (e.g. because they are no Top 3) http://mhw.wiki-db.com/howtosolota http://mhw.wiki-db.com/howtosolota_en

in 3 days (& in 10 days) Capcom hosts a PS4 Beta for Monster Hunter: World - Iceborne (Leaderboard), so I'm requesting not just a Pre-Release tag, no no, but also the Expansion tag based on mhw (Leaderboard).
