One of my guides uses the word barracks a couple times and the StarCraft barracks icon gets used, which doesn't make sense.

The B) emote I know well. I have to use blank characters to get round that; shouldn't be necessary.

Subcategory at most. They're basically the same game on a different platform.

@MicroElf It's just an easier place to discuss the games, that's all. Chat rooms are easier for discussions than forums most of the time.

I'm fairly sure they're lenient on it.

You can choose which character you played as when submitting a run.

I've had to unfollow a few games over this problem. If I can't change the notification settings I'm not going to get spammed by them.

There's a discord channel for RTS speedrunning, including a channel for 8-Bit RTS: https://discord.gg/dy3GRjw

I'm under the assumption the moderators don't follow the game they moderate... Try messaging them on Twitch.

The boards could either stay as they are for now or have two columns for each platform. If you feel they're not very comparable I can make the column for both. At some point I'll add the missions from Schemax's full-game runs to the IL boards.

I saw that the Genesis and MS-DOS versions end the missions differently. DOS has a splash while Genesis has a mini plane cutscene. I'd set the IL timing between when you gain and lose control (which is what you did already) similar to other RTS games. I'll mention it in the rules.

Oh, and I added the rest of the individual missions. That should have been done long ago.

I don't know when the API update is rolling out but I plan on updating everything soon.

I suggest having the platform as a subcategory instead. Looks a lot more organized.

I thought of a concept that could substantially increase the number of runs on the site for a good number of games. For games that are level-based with few variables that carry between them, generating individual level leaderboards could be almost entirely automated. It'd require work across LiveSplit, OBS, Speedrun.com's API, and Twitch's API (could probably work with XSplit, Hitbox, etc).

I'll use my main game, Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2, as an example. The game's full-game categories are individual levels in a specific order; nothing carries over from one level to the next. I've written an auto-splitter so it keeps track of the IL times during the run. Not too many runners particularly care about submitting their best attempts (IL records), so I do extra work to put them on. With some kind of auto-submitter, runners wouldn't have to do much to get their IL runs on the LBs.

There'd need to be a LiveSplit plugin that assigns the runner's segments with ILs on speedrun.com so they don't need to use one specific setup. Nearly all fields can be auto-filled or entered with a prompt (like for comment). The main hurdle is auto-submitting with a video. LiveSplit will need to be able talk to OBS.

If the runner isn't streaming and only recording, LiveSplit can tell OBS to create a replay buffer video for the duration of the segment with some padding. They'd have to manually upload the replay buffer to YouTube or Twitch. It COULD be automatic with API access, and even done during the run, though that may be a bad idea. When the run is done and they're prompted for the submissions, the runner can either submit immediately without a video and add it later or wait until their upload is complete and fill the video field with it.

If the runner IS streaming, LiveSplit can grab the uptime from OBS to know the timestamps, use Twitch API to find the latest past broadcast (which would be the current stream), and automatically create a highlight. It can be done after the run is complete so the runner can choose if they want to save it. The video field fills itself out once the highlight is complete.

Right now this works best with PC games that have an auto-splitter, but it can still be used with consoles and real-time with a margin of error. Once LiveSplit has an auto-splitting system for video/audio capture, even console IL submissions can be accurate.

tl;dr An auto-submitting system for individual levels during full-game runs. Could work with a lot of games.

I'm sure it was just an oversight when making the leaderboard.

Once someone does a run, probably.
