I've noticed that a lot of the world records don't follow the same criteria for each other. Some people stop the timers when the freeplay button appears and some people stop the timers as soon as the last bloon is popped. Since a ton of videos have been accepted that don't stop the timer on the freeplay button appearing, the rules tab should reflect this. Some times are just slightly faster because people are stopping their timers at different spots. Just want to make sure people don't get confused who do runs in the future (like I did). Thanks!
Click level leaderboard -> Monkey lane (for example) then at the top you will have 3 tabs (filter, view rules, submit runs).
I only bring this to question because rubixcubix and your videos (as well as others) stop the timers at last bloon hit where some of us, including me, stop it at the freeplay button as stated in the rules tab. Though everyone's videos is being accepted regardless of where the timer is stopped. I would just rather stop the timer like in your video. I just want to have it clarified in the rules. That way my video would be 2 seconds faster and we would be neck and neck rather than I being two seconds slower due to different stopping points. (though technically I still think you had a half second on me when the video is slowed)
I watched rubixcubix to see whether to split at the end of the round or once the freeplay button was showing, which is why I did it. It would be nice to get some clarification before I try anymore runs only to find out that they could be beaten by 2 seconds due to the rules changing in the future.
I feel that for ease of autosplitting the run should end as soon as the final bloon has been popped. There's a variable that tracks whether a menu is open, closed or on a confirm screen, so you can set it to end the run on round 50 when a menu opens (congratulations screen), and reset on a confirmation screen (home button or restart level).
Speaking of which, I saw you added some resources for the game. I tried using the autosplitter to no avail. How does that work?
God knows man it worked for me lol. It's like the one below this thread but with up to date values
The idea is that it splits every 10 rounds including 65 and 85, starts itself on round 1 and resets automatically. What happens when you try to use it?
I don't get any response from it. I used the easy split you had so 10, 20, 30, 40, 50. I added the extra layout to target the autosplitter file in livesplit. (edit layout -> Scriptable auto splitter -> target the file you uploaded). So not sure if I am just using the program wrong. Do I need to sync anything like opening BTD5 after livesplit or an extra options in livesplit?
That sounds right.I'll need to get ahold of another computer so I can test it. I'm assuming you're using steam?
