EnglandI found the template I saved after making the old box art images in 2016.
Here it is for whenever any new games need to be added:
Hello, I recently posted a guide on installing and setting up Ballance to run properly on a Windows 10 machine.
https://www.speedrun.com/ballance/guide/4hjiv
This forum thread is for any questions / additional assitance you might need when trying to get the game working.
Myself and @Leemyy will do our best to help!
We have recently made a decision to make a minor change to the game rules. Previously, the rules stated the game framerate must be limited to 250 frames per second or lower; we have now changed this to 240 frames per second.
This was only done as it makes more sense to limit the framerate to a multiple of sixty. Any existing runs with framerates higher than 240 will not be invalidated as a result of this, due to how small an effect it would have on gameplay.
In my 51:06 Any% speedrun I used a program called KeyBinder to bind jump to the mousewheel.
After a brief discussion with Feno it was decided this should invalidate my run, as it would most likely make infinite hover easier. Even though my run didn't use infinite hover, it's only fair to treat it the same as other runs of this category.
tl;dr uwu im a little cheaty boy i need daddy fenos fowgivemess uwu pwease punish mmee x3

The PC version of CatCF is a totally different game. It's a point and click adventure that can be completed in about 50 minutes. Someone should create a new leaderboard for that game rather than have PC as a platform here.
Sidenote: Perhaps consider adding 100% as a category also.
It's been evident from some recent submissions people are unclear as to what the speedrun rules are, so I will clear up a few things in this thread. I will begin by posting the Calmere Nightmare map rules below:
-
Do not wander into the forest or swamp unless instructed so, the wilderness here is dangerous
-
City centre (Gate past the bridge) is off limits, do not go there
-
No destroying blocks unless specifically allowed to (spawners can be destroyed)
-
Signs with a marking such as "1a" or "Dc" mean that you have to find the folder with the capital symbols and in that folder open the specific .txt file
-
Follow the tips and guidances given in the .txt files for best experiance
-
Play on peaceful unless otherwise instructed to maximise roleplay experiance
Note: This map can be played in multiplayer, but best experiance is achieved playing solo.
-
I suggest using a mod that turns off creeper spawning or removes their ability to destroy blocks because the explosions could destroy your game.
-
Pre-Release 1.9 v1 or later is required because of the use of snow golems as NPCs sorry for any incompabilities.
I will firstly address rule 3. One submission violated this rule by breaking an iron door located in the cave beneath the asylum. There was no instruction in the map notes which allowed this therefore it was an obvious rule violation. Obsidian and spawners are allowed to be broken in this area, not iron doors.
Rule 6 states the map should be played on peaceful unless otherwise instructed. Note 4a.txt before entering the asylum states the difficulty must be changed to at least easy. As you pass through the asylum in the speedrun, it is required you play on easy at this point. It's optional whether you change the difficulty before entering the asylum or play on at least easy for the entire attempt.
Finally, rule 8 (which displays as an emoticon) states any version released after beta 1.9 pre-release v1 is required to be used. This means runs in the most recent game versions are valid, however I think this should be open for discussion as it causes doors to be broken in certain parts of the map, allowing for players to pass through sooner than is intended.
Thanks for reading and I hope this cleared up a few things.
Recently I created a complete speedrun tutorial for Red Ball. I wanted to make it as in depth and thorough as possible, so the tutorial covers everything from what timer / recording software to use, to the strategies for each level, to submitting your time to speedrun.com.
Really hope this is useful to a lot of people as I put a lot of effort into this. (Use Mouse Button 3 to open in a new tab.)

Please use this thread to post any feedback or report any issues / changes to be made. Cheers.
On 13th April 2018 a new rule will be enforced making all runs faster than 4:30 require game audio to be enabled in the proof video, due to raised suspicions about the best times being potentially spliced.
Any existing runs faster than 4:30 without game audio enabled in the video will be removed on 12th April.
If this effects you, please provide a new submission with game audio enabled in the recording. Thank you.
There's a video for 2nd place but not 1st even though both runs are by the same person?
A world record without video is just a world.

I feel like the category names and rules could do with adjusting. It's hard to come up with suitable categories that aren't unorthodox, but I'd like to have a discussion about how they should be changed. Waiting for a mod response first so I know my input is being seen.
Seems a bit abnormal. What's the justification for this being a misc. category?
I've noticed some new people have taken an interest in speedrunning Trespasser, but have been submitting their runs with only real time attack (RTA) timing and no in-game time (IGT).
It would be much better for the leaderboard to be based on IGT rather than RTA, as it is a PC game so loading times fluctuate immensely.
In order to track IGT for your runs you must do the following:
- Create a new Notepad file and paste in the following script:
state("tpassp6") { bool isLoading : "tpassp6.exe", 0x64B484; }
isLoading { return current.isLoading; }
Then save this as a .asl file.
-
Open Livesplit and create a new layout.
-
In the layout editor, click the + icon then select the scriptable autosplitter under the control tab.
-
Go to layout settings and click browse, then select your .asl script file using a suitable file path.
-
Save your changes and enjoy an automated IGT timer.
Notes:
If Livesplit is not correctly displaying IGT after using this script try the following solutions:
-
Ensure Livesplit is set to display IGT for your splits and timer in both the timer, and layout settings.
-
Ensure the script uses the correct executable name. For example the script shown here uses the "tpassp6" executable as it is intended to be run on this patch.
Hope this was helpful and enjoy Trespasser!
