Hey guys, i have updates the no autoscrollers mod for misc category speedruns. hope more people use it because its more fun imo and its very fast paced with almost no downtime in the run aside from capping cp's.

All autoscrollers timers are set to 1 second, this includes levels such as Felucia, Kashyyk, Coruscant, Death star, Polis Masa, Yavin, Hoth. In addition to setting autoscrollers to 1 second, i have also set the victory delay timer to 1 second, this removes any rng with victory screens from all maps. Strats are different, time is shortened, so gear up for some fast paced, action pakced speedruns. Use this link to download the addon folder which you simply copy and paste into your gamedata folder.

Enjoy :D and message me on discord if you have any issues

thoughts on making a crash 1 misc category with this mod?

just a thought, its fine if people dont like the idea :D

Hey guys, im on the pc version and was just wondering if its just me or if anyone else has had this bug whilst trying to complete the game any% at fast'ish pace:

i finish the final level on warp room 2 or 3 and when i try to enter the boss warp it doesnt to anything, none of the other warps work either and i have to exit and re-enter the game.

Hey guys, just wanted to advertise this here, ive created a mod for the campaign levels where all the objectives classes as an "autoscroller" due to the timer on the right side of the screen, have been reduced to 1 second long, effectively removing them pretty much altogether.

Maps affected include:

Felucia Kashyyk Coruscant Death Star Polis Masa Yavin Hoth

I am uploading the files to this Link here for download > https://drive.google.com/file/d/1laNX4bEfQ1W-7G38i1E_j2qTu0iKjI2t/view?usp=sharing

Install instructions are inside, its pretty simple, just copy and paste to the file directory, there is a set of original files there as well just in case u dont backup your own.

Enjoy the meme runs XD and hopefully there are more memes to come, as i think ive finally figured out how to mess with the campaign maps easily.

Hey guys its been a while but your lord and saviour of autosplitter/load removers is back with another addition to his fine collection.

i have now created an autosplitter for campaign levels. This splitter will activate on every objective in the game so use it at your own discretion. The main reason for making this is to allow for easier viability of optimization during levels.

For Example, in felucia at the holocron picup, is it quicker to get infinite sprint? or is it quicker to use a jump at the end, or even quicker to do both?

Simple questions like these will be answered simply by using this autosplitter as it will split at the exact same time as the objective menu appears, therefore, timing will be SPOT ON.

I will also post this code in the resources tab of the webpage. This is the Code:


state("BattlefrontII") 
{
    int negativeWhenLoading: 0x1AAEE30;
}

split
{
  return old.negativeWhenLoading != 2 && current.negativeWhenLoading == 2;
}

Now you may ask why isnt the load remover in this code aswell? i chose to make it seperate because i feel it would be easier then layering it in one because no one would have a choice to not use the autosplitter then.

So how do i use it? well its simple, you have the load remover code as a scriptable autosplitter, so you simply add another scriptable autosplitter and choose the "campaignAS" as the path for the splitter.

Now you should have 2 "scriptable autosplitters" in your layout for livesplit, this is good, very good mate.

Let me know if anything doesnt work, because so far as ive tested it, everything appears to be fine. i will make an edit here in the near future that will say how many splits are required for each objective PLUSS the splits for each loading screen at the end of each level.

hey there, just wondering if its possible to search for streams that are only for games that im following? to my knowledge it isnt a filter in the streams tab of the website, is it possible to make it though?

Victoria, Australialako30006 years ago

All load removal codes i fix or make will be put into this thread. To set up the loads remover in your livesplit you will need to do the following:

  1. open notepad
  2. Copy the code from this thread
  3. paste the code into notepad
  4. save the notepad as a .asl file
  5. add it to livesplit as a 'scriptable autosplitter'

The original code for a disc installation of the game with nothing to do with steam is below

state ("BattlefrontII") { int negativeWhenLoading: 0x49CFA4; } isLoading { return current.negativeWhenLoading != 0; }

Below will be the latest code i have for the steam version of the game as of 12/01/2018

state ("BattlefrontII") { int negativeWhenLoading: 0x1AAFCA0; } isLoading { return current.negativeWhenLoading != 0; }

Please let me know if the code isnt working for you so we can do further testing and troubleshooting, or i can figure out a way to fix it :D Enjoy your BF2 Runs

Hey Speedrunners of BF2 and Newcomers to the scene!!!

i've almost finished creating guides for all the Instant action categories then i will move onto Galactic Conquest. I hope this helps anyone who wants to get into the game or even just have a squiz at what the current strats are. As always, im up to debate strats and if anyone has anything new thats faster than whats in the guide ive made just let me know and we can do further testing and fix up the guide if we need to.

http://www.speedrun.com/swbf2/guides4774

Enjoy speedrunning and i hope to see some more people on the leaderboards, its starting to get lonely XD

EDIT: instant action is done and 2 gc's are done. There will be a delay for the last 2 cos i don't have time/motivation to finish them in the near future however if I'm asked by someone then I'll be likely to get on it :)

Victoria, Australialako30006 years ago

Hey there, just a quick query, is there any chance of getting all the instant action individual levels added to the individual level leader board? i dont mind them not being there but i was just thinking that maybe they should?

Victoria, Australialako30006 years ago

Hey guys ive just noticed in my spare time that the load remover also removes all menuing in GC. this means that picking bonuses, moving ships and ai manipulation now counts as load time (according to my remover). I just want thoughts on this because i see the ai manipulation as a turn off for other runners and a tedious thing altogether however, it is key to the speedrun side of the game mode.

Personally i think its great because it means i can sit there for ages manipulating ai untill my game crashes but i can also see that its kind of unfair? in a way? This would most likely make the category more competitive though as most of it would be based on levels instead of ai rng on the map.

slightly less rng = more competition :D

I just wanna know if we should keep this as a good thing or just resign ourselves to manually removing loads for Galactic conquest runs

Victoria, Australialako30006 years ago

this is just a thought i had about a possible misc category,

i dont know what to call it yet but im trying to come up with a good challenge category and this came to mind

The category will include 9 maps except the player chooses which ones, the only rules are that you must play a map from each mode with each era and settings are default ofc.

For example:

1: conquest CW 1: conquest GCW 1: 2 flag ctf cw 1: 2 flag ctf GCW 1: 1 flag ctf CW 1: 1 flag CTF GCW 1 Assault CW 1 assault GCW 1 hunt

So the map choice could be something like this, ofc i would test maps to find the fastest :D but this is just an idea so ill chuck in a random example Coruscant CW cq Coruscant GCW cq Coruscant CW ctf Coruscant GCW ctf Endor GCW ctf tantive iv cw ctf Space hoth Space mygeeto naboo hunt

i just thought this would be a neat little thing to have fun routing with all the maps available and stuff, or maybe ill just do it as a funrun thing?

Note: Best part is you get to choose the fastest maps which are usually the ones that everyone loves :D

Victoria, Australialako30006 years ago

Just a quick query, am i able to submit IL's for levels that have been done within a run? for example, if im at naboo in an any% run and get a best seg, can i submit that as a IL? or do i have to do them individually(outside of a run)?

Victoria, Australialako30006 years ago

Just a quick question about mods in runs. is it allowed to have a mod that, say, just changing audio sounds of guns or maybe some visuals? if the mod does not mess with the game mechanics or anything like that is it allowed? or are we just gonna keep it as a no?

I just thought it would be neat to change the sounds of some of the guns just for lols

Victoria, Australialako30006 years ago

OK GUYS, after about 3-4 hours or getting help and literally dying from multitasking at 3am i finally got us an autosplitter, courtesy of a few people ofc, (cos i cant code for jack), @Fatalis, @Shiftweave, @Sphere, @Spiraster, @0Seren, @Souzooka from the Speedrun tools development discord. Especially Shiftweave who basically spoon fed me the creation of the asl notepad file. also i cant forget Lukemodi for his moral support whilst i was slowly losing life essence over using cheat engine :D Rip console PC 4 Life (Side Note) To see it on livesplit u need to type the game name as exactly "Star Wars Battlefront II" and it will come up as made by lako3000 Time removed is exactly as we have already done so there is no need to change any current runs. it removes the time as soon as victory pops up untill the next level starts. which means it also removes time in the stats screen in instant action. I guess they are now break screens because real time still goes? so if someone needs a break from instant action% I'm guessing they can just keep it on real time whilst on stats screen as it keeps counting because it wont effect the in game time in the end. i do believe that by using this the quitting out in campaign when victory pops up is now not needed? if that is still done. i will say though i havnt tested the loads removal with campaign so if someone could do that it would be great, i tested it with instant action and it was amazing :D

EDIT: Load remover only works for a few levels atm, in the process of fixing it

EDIT: FIXED THE LOADS REMOVER. Conditions of it are as follows:

  • Does not remove the initial load time of the first level of the splits.
  • After the first level is completed it removes game time from the 'Victory" untill the start of next level (CAMPAIGN ASWELL). This means u can sit on stats menu or on the attack screen before campaign mission with no loss of game time.
  • Timer will pause on final split so you can get accurate end time
  • Disclaimer: ALL LEVELS HAVE BEEN TESTED EXCEPT FOR SPACE MISSIONS. NOTIFY ME IF YOU ENCOUNTER ANY PROBLEMS Thanks all

Victoria, Australialako30006 years ago

Just inquiring about the instant action category rules, it doesn't say that you need to be victorious in each level so does this mean that you can intentionally lose a battle if it is faster than winning?

For instance: If i was to team kill so that the enemy had the upper hand?

In the end i could always switch back to the opposite team for the victory anyway?

Just a thought..

Victoria, Australialako30008 years ago

I assume the categories already up are the any% ones.

Got some stuff to add please, just All missions and 100% :D

Victoria, Australialako30008 years ago

just a couple of ideas for misc categories to speedrun. (just for fun ofc)

Idea 1 (Because space battles don't get enough love)

Space Battles%

all the space battles maps and modes in instant action. (excluding campaign)

CW = Clone Wars GCW = Galactic Civil War

  • Yavin - (GCW) CTF + Assault
  • Kashyyk - (CW) CTF + Assault
  • Felucia - (CW) CTF + Assault
  • Hoth - (GCW) CTF + Assault
  • Tatooine - (GCW) CTF + Assault
  • Mygeeto - (CW) CTF + Assault

Space Assault Mode: - Score Limit 180 - AI units per team 32

1 Flag CTF Mode: - Capture Limit 5 - AI units per team 32

Maps must be played in order so you know when you finish the last map and what it is

I did a test speedrun of this category:

Idea 2

All maps and modes in instant action: Instant Action%

Essentially all the maps and modes in instant action played in order until completion

Includes: Galactic Civil War + Clone Wars Eras

  • ALL MAPS in instant action

  • Conquest

  • 2 Flag CTF

  • 1 Flag CTF

  • Space Assault

  • Hunt

  • Hero Assault

  • (Pretty sure XL is only on pc so wont do that)

  • Settings for each mode will not change

  • Global setting for Ai units per team will be changed to 32

(For a run to be verified probably show settings at the end of the run idk)

I did a Test speedrun of this category, had to do it in 2 sittings because of Christmas dinner and stuff:

Just thought these ideas would be good for misc categories and i have loads of spare time in my holidays to speedrun them :)

Space battles is the one i want most because we never see an actual space battle in speedruns except for in campaign i think

Instant Action% would definitely take ages but would be fun to do.

NOTE: Unsure whether to decide that you must be victorious in all levels or if your allowed to be defeated because it still goes along the level list if you lose.

Just lose all of the instant action LoL

EDIT: new idea for instant action%

you could have 3 misc categories for it, lowAction% DefaultAction% and HighAction%

Low would be with every setting on its lowest, gonna either be long or fast idk

Default would just be default settings with 32 Units Per Team

High Would be every setting on its Highest, Gonna be extremely long but, ehh what the hell!
