I haven't bothered creating a post about this for a long time, as it seemed like an obvious issue to me, and I thought it would be quickly resolved, but it's still not. Ever since some update a few months ago, some guides have been rendered hard to use or even completely incomprehensible.

As one would, I've used shift+enter for new lines in the same paragraph and enter for a new paragraph. This worked fine for years, but for a few months now, shift+enter new lines only show up in edit mode, and once published, they are ignored, turning into simple spaces, and no new line started. Using enter isn't a solution, as it leaves an extra empty line above. I posted an illustration of a guide detailing why this is a huge issue, the list of inputs and instructions is incomprehensible without the proper spacing.

I thought in this thread we could document all known glitches or exploits in Mizzurna Falls. Even if they are seemingly useless at the moment, could prove to be useful in the future.

I get this error message when trying to post a guide on games I'm moderating:

"admin game_name not found"

Asked someone else and they have the same issue. Also submitted a bug report, but at the time I thought the issue happened because I changed my name.

How common is this issue? Is everyone else experiencing it?

So something interesting happened today on my first attempt. Here is the video of it. I'll post it here so we have it documented, in case it would prove to be useful in the future.

We are at a point in speedrunning mainly San Andreas and GTA III where sometimes you have to hold down so many keys at a time, that - if you don't have an N-key rollover keyboard (all keys can be registered at the same time) - you might encounter issues, potentially losing time in your runs or even dying / failing missions. Sometimes up to 5-6 keys have to be pressed at the same time. Not for a long period, but even if just one of these keypresses fail to register, sometimes chaos is inevitable.

It is also possible, that you didn't find the default control scheme satisfactory and changed it around a bit to suit your needs better.

I'd like to ask what kind of key and mouse button mappings have you set up for either SA or III? Also if you are using a tenkeyless keyboard, what have you remapped special controls to (hydraulics, forklift, hydra)? I feel like this mainly involves these 2 games because of holding phonecalls / submission key, so didn't want to post in GTA general forums.

My settings: I personally found holding Tab while driving to be uncomfortable, so I switched to the key I use in III, Caps Lock as my action / alt fire key. On one of my older keyboards I couldn't hold caps lock + W + E at the same time to drive-by, so I tried remapping looking right to R, but it feelt a bit awkward. I also use MMB to raise height in plane / do a wheelie and RMB to lower / lean forward. I also use left shift for sprinting and space for jumping. In GTA III my camera change key is Num 3, which is right next to look left / right / back with Num1 and 2 and ensures my hand is close to the mouse. On 60-80% sized keyboards I'd use the keys to the left of enter in an upside down T shape for special controls. For GTA III I move the idea on the Numpad (1-3) over to left and right square bracket and backslash (right over Enter on the ANSI layout).

Previously someone has claimed, that the Xbox version of San Andreas does not have to be restarted, when the runner decides to reset, because unlike the PC version, it resets the progress levels between upgrades. I started investigating all versions I own of the game (Xbox original, Xbox 360 remastered, PS2) to find out if this occurs, using a certain method. None of these versions reset your progress. Since 100% and All Missions categories require certain skills to progress in the run, I believe this should be discussed. Also I kept saying golf course instead of tennis club, sorry about that.
