Yeah, I can add them. Honestly, just copied and pasted the levels from the main board lol

Hey! We went ahead and made a new category on the category extensions board we have: https://www.speedrun.com/thpsce/level/THPS12#THPS12

Don't mind how scuffed it looks on there.

Edit: moved it to https://speedrun.com/thps12ce

Hello! We went ahead and made the change to make it a category for the category extension board we also have. For now I have a section for specific levels, but I can add a full-game category in a little bit: https://www.speedrun.com/thpsce/level/THPS12#THPS12

If we do add the full-game category, I would also add a rule that allows you to submit a segmented/level spliced speedrun (otherwise I feel like it would be hell to get a full run completed).

Before we go and create new categories, a run must have been completed first. Once that is done, then discussions can begin about adding it.

As soon as a run is completed, hit one of us up on Discord and we can get it settled!

We don't tend to make new categories unless someone has at least one run in it. We would keep it on this board, but once someone runs it we would add categories for other consoles.

It would be cool, but Speedrun.com doesn't offer good high score leaderboards. The ones around are kind jank, at best. Sorry!

Skaters!

1) We will be placing a one week speedrun embargo upon release. This means that you will NOT be able to submit speedruns until Friday, September 11, 2020 @ 12:01 AM ET. We are doing this to give ourselves time to determine the categories and rules, and it also discourages players from trying to speedrun immediately instead of just enjoying the first good Tony Hawk game in over a decade. You are still allowed to speedrun, of course, but you will NOT be able to submit until that date.

2) Categories and rulings are still up in the air for now. The best we can think of is that Any% and All Goals & Golds will be there, but other categories and sub-categories are unknown. With the one week period, this will give us time to figure this out for sure.

3) Another reason for the embargo is to give the community (mostly Fog or Hekigan) time to develop an autosplitter/loadless timer for the PC version. If you would like to work on the console autosplitter/loadless timer (using, probably, ROMaster's tool ( https://github.com/ROMaster2/LiveSplit.VideoAutoSplit ) ), please let me know!

4) Moderators, as of now, are still being decided among us. For the first few weeks, we will only be allowing current moderators to moderate 1+2; this will most likely change depending on activity, how many players we actively have, and other variables. We will approach you if we want you as a moderator!

I hope this post does enough to detail our plans. As always, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me or ask in our community Discord!

Welcome!

We haven't had a full chance to really delve into determining rules, but you are free to join the Discord on the right. We will be discussing the rules up until next Friday (when our embargo lifts).

Hello! Yes, the expansion pack does slow down the game by a couple of seconds. I don't have the exact total on me, but it is enough to warrant top runners to be strictly using the jumper pack!

Skaters!

With the advent of 1+2 on the horizon, I want to take this opportunity to discuss some things:

That is completely fine!

We won't create any new categories without at least a video.

Apologies. 99 times out of a 100, it comes down to time. I'm, more or less, the only active moderator of most of the Tony Hawk games, including THAW. In the near future, hopefully we will have some people step in to help fill the void left by the old guard (especially since I'm very busy lately). Your run is approved, along with the other ones waiting.

(Again, shoutouts to SR.com's terrible notification system)

Project 8 works in that all you have to accomplish to get into Project 8 is Am goals. After you get into Project 8, Pro and Sick ratings matter even more. When we get Pro or Sick during a run, it is just a coincidence and it has no effect on the run itself.

Both current moderators have been active for over four months to a year or longer. Tknology doesn't seem to have a Twitter anymore, and Haolecake has been inactive for a half year now.

There isn't one right now, unfortunately. There is a bit of a change to the rules, so runners are working on the new route. So, until then, you are free to join the Discord (to the left) or look at the WR video! 🙂

Old thread, and I apologize (blame Sr.com notifications), but I can talk about this for a moment.

The community, as a whole, does not have any sort of "threshold" when it comes to when we cannot allow screenshots. For ILs, a video is required because of known exploits. However, for RTA, it is a game-by-game basis.

I will say, for THP8, a screenshot is fine if you have anything above a 1 hour time. However, past that, we will ask for video proof (stream or YouTube video). It doesn't have to be of the best quality (it could be a cell phone on a tripod or whatever), but it has to show the gameplay enough to where we can ensure there was no cheating or what-have-you.

TL;DR: This is fine, but past 1 hour we will need proof.

I am completely fine with having a 100% category for this game. I don't really add categories unless someone does a run of it first so, whenever you feel like it would be time, I can make it.

The only rule that would have to be discussed is allowing cheats acquired by in-game means. We have had discussion in the past with THPS4 (which allows the same thing), so we would have to talk about it a little bit before we greenlight that part as well. But, for me personally, I have no qualms.

I think we had someone do this before, as more of a test run, but that was well over a year or two ago.

Requesting for https://speedrun.com/thpsce to be the Category Extension board for the Tony Hawk series. Thanks!
