There's an autosplitter on the discord server however I don't know whether snowgrave is on there and I'm not sure whether it times everything corectly or not. That's the only autosplitter that has been for Chapter 2 so far.

"Let's say I modify a string that's related to a textbox that only appears in an area that I don't visit at all in my run. That's technically a violation of the rules, but since the modified string never shows up in the run itself, the mods will never be able to tell."

The mods will never see the change so it would be impossible to verify so someone could do it and we would never know.

"And this applies to the sprites too. Unless the height/width of the sprite is modified (therefore altering the chance of wall-bumping), I personally see nothing wrong with sprite modification."

The main reason this is banned is to keep the game as vanilla as possible. Another thing can also be changing certain sprites to make certain tricks easier and such like creating red pixels i.e in rooms to help with lining up tricks for example. You could argue this with music mods as well however this is significantly more difficult to take advantage of and the general positives to music mods outweigh the negatives.

This has been discussed several times, for the time being, no

You can toggle sticky keys on and off between battles but besides that no. On the old demo with only chapter 1 however (in resources), there’s no slowdown mechanic so you can use sticky keys with no issues.

Google Snake is a meme within itself

69 apples is also a Category Extension and with Deltarune, it’s basically decided that a Category Extension board will not be made until the full game comes out.

Don’t mind the idea of that personally. If you want to suggest categories though, then you should post it in the Deltarune Speedrunning discord server.

no

maybe a meme category in the future

The Kris Kill is RNG, there’s no way to make it 100% consistent. There are several different ways that people do the fight that range from 40%-75%

The only reason CH1 True Pacifist was made because we were thinking that True Pacifist will be a lot more different or important however there’s no difference doing True Pacifist besides for Recruits so there’s not much point having a True Pacifist category.

There’s little discussion to remove it as there’s a lot of runs on the board; the Jevil leaderboard is the same.

Tf is ShayJam lol, I know it’s a shay emote but what game wise are you mentioning?

Devilsknife loses so much time to get in Chapter 1 (45 seconds to 1 minute) and comparing to Jevilstail, it would only save about 10-20 seconds in king and it becomes worse than Jevilstail in CH2, it’s just not worth it right now.

Doing Genocide in CH1 currently doesn’t change anything so there’s no reason to have Genocide be an All Chapters category.

I also don’t see much reason to make sure you kill Tasque Manager, Mauswheel and especially removing all the pipis since it doesn’t change anything.

It’s also not possible rn to do Genocide in CH1 as Kround is impossible to kill and if you forgot about DJs in CH2, they’re also impossible to kill rn.

Editing the data.win file (debug involves editing the data.win file) is banned full stop.

You would either need a download link to an unedited data.win file and swap the debug data.win to the new one or you would need to re-install the game and either play off the new downloaded game or replace the new downloaded data.win file with your other debug one. You can always save the debug data.win and the original one in a seperate folder so then you can swap between them relatively easily as all you would need to do is to copy and paste it in.

Hope that helps :)

Your half right. Jevil was made originally because people wanted a category with Jevil however people later wanted to actually beat the game after beating Jevil which was why All Bosses was made. Afaik, Jevil was just left with because there was a considerable amount of runs on there and there was nothing wrong with leaving it.

I disagree that both runs are VERY different however, even if there was a minor route change exclusive to All Bosses as they both do the same run but one ends a bit later then the other with not much variation. It would be like running Chapter 1 Any% but stopping once you kill Head Hathy so the difference would be equipping the Iron Shackle earlier. There are already so many runs on there and I don’t see much discussion at all to remove it so it’s probably going to sit as is

Beat Basement Spamton

There’s been some discussion for it but

1. no one has done a run of it
2. the mods have been sorting out all the boards first

It seems like theres enough discussion for it to be a category through

bepis

Until the full game comes out, these types of categories aren't going to be added to the boards. I also feel like this kind of category of seeing who can recruit the least amount of people whist remaining pacifist is for one something that wouldn't suit the boards well, especially on a main board (CE is a bit different but it's still not preferable) and two, it's a bit arbitary as a pacifist ending isn't really a thing in Chapter 2 as recruiting is a thing which is partially the reason why we have the all recruits category so we are for one adding our own arbitrary classification to a run and two we are classifying off a score based system which is not what this sight is mainly designed for. It also seems like the route would only have minor changes and it would be consistent anyway so it's probably not that good of an idea in that regard either.

It's an interesting idea but I don't think that it would be something that we would need or suit the site well yet

Might be an interesting CE idea once all of the chapters are out but I don’t think the mods are interested in that category yet

Np 🙂
