Sex% Text Tutorial

Hey, this is a basic Sex% tutorial by someone who doesn't even know how to play the game, so to get started.
 
**Before running:**
-You will want to download the German voice files (they are ~1,7 faster than french) for FO4 which can be found here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B19LOhkYsj2ySV92cWJsNFNlLW8
-Get some programe to lock your FPS to 60(eg. Dxtory)
-Set your livesplit to -3.5 seconds
-You will want to stay in first person since 3rd person is slower
 
**Entering the Vault:**
Create a male character, start your timer and run out of the bathroom to talk to Codsworth, then wait for the next line Codsworth says 2 seconds after the baby starts to cry, when you skip his line talk to Nora. Then wait at the door until Vault tech guy shows up(around 1:12) then spam 4 and choose your stats which will be as follows(4 Endurance, 10 Charisma, 10 Agility). After you confirm your stats close the doors and talk to Nora when she starts talking, then go to the baby and wait till Codsworth starts talking and the press E on him, and instantly press E on baby. Then spin the toy above the bed and when nora starts talking just spam 4, after ending that dialogue Codsworth will start calling you, so just stand at the door and spam E to open it, then walk to the living room and stand on the left side of the doors, around 1:43 will the door open and you will want to run out, turn right and jump over the fence to your neighbor and the jump over the fence on the way to the Vault 111. When at the officer spam E when you start saying "List", then start running and run up the rock on your way to the Vault.
 
**Leaving the Vault:**
After elevator arrives go up the stairs, and jump over the fence near the end, and try to grab the suit as fast as possible so doctor doesn't get stuck far behind(He does that often on German voices). Then go to the end of the hall and stand at your pod and wait for the doctor to start talking, then talk to him back and turn to your pod and press E on it. Enjoy the intro. After your pod opens run out and open the first door and take the first to the right. Grab the melee weapon which is at the box where you clip at in Any%, then run back to the cones and grab the fallen one (https://i.imgur.com/R8hfniW.jpg). After you grab the cone you want to position at the pipe on your left (https://i.imgur.com/04u6vbs.jpg). After you position yourself just hold S and mash spacebar so if you don't get boosted high enough you still have chance of clipping to the second room with cones. After you drop to the second room you will want to pick a cone and drop it near the boxes so you can pick it up on your way after setting punchwarp on roaches. So after dropping the cone you will want to run to your right and run around the roach(around his head so he will get aggroed), then you will want to go back where you dropped the cone and jump on the boxes where the pistol ammo is (https://i.imgur.com/yppStCN.jpg) and setup your punchwarp on roach (remember where you are looking at). After setting up the punch warp just grab the cone and jump on the engine(or what it even is) and clip in the left corner of the room. Then go to the elevator in the room you clipped to.
 
**Running:**
When you run out, you will want to head to the Sanctuary go to the house on your right and trigger your punch on the cockroach which should be inside the house. After triggering the punchwarp you can hold keys to go to the South but the game will turn you to the side you were looking at when setting up the puchwarp, so if you were looking at N just hold S. After dropping on the ground you will want to run towards Goodneighbour, jump in to Goodneighbour just like in Any% run and after loading in the good neighbour you will want to run forward and turn left to the bar, before pressing E on the door pull out your melee weapon.
 
**The moment you have been training for:**
Punch the first guy you see since he was hitting on Magnolia, after that you want to hide your weapon, so the others don't attack you. Then you want to jump down the stairs and talk to Magnolia and spam 2 and left arrow on your keyboard. If you were worthy of Magnolia the time ends on loading screen.


**Update:**
You actually wanna upwarp on South because you will be under a building and will be coc'd to a good position.

**Update 2:**
There is 1,5 seconds timesave by doing QS in Vault 111 and then while leaving the vault you change ur stats to 10 END and 10 AGI for longer sprint time, and then loadwarp on the doors to Magnolia. Wouldn't recommend doing this strat for beginners and people that don't hate their life.

Sex% Tutorial (Updated June 2018)

Speedrun FAQ (Updated August 2017)

Q: What difficulty is this on? 
A: Very Easy, as it's fastest. Harder difficulties aren't any more interesting, they'd just make the run slightly longer. Survival mode would be the most boring and excruciating run, so someone might do it someday. 

Q: How is he warping around like that? 
A: He's abusing the cover mechanic in the game with a glitch called cover sliding. Going into cover and cancelling the cover animation by going into 3rd person or equipping a melee weapon, will store your XYZ coordinates. When taking out your gun while in 1st person afterwards, the game will see that you're not in cover anymore, and try to send you back to where you were standing before going into cover. It will then slide you at really high speed towards the coordinates where this glitch was set up. If this glitch is set up in an indoors map, and deployed in an outdoors map, it will send you towards about the center of the map, because the indoors coordinates are very close to 0 compared to the outdoors map. When sliding at great distances, the game will pause to load in the unloaded terrain. This will end up cancelling the slide after a bit, but by going into 1st person and back to 3rd person very quickly, it will allow you to slide multiple times which will consistently take you to the final coordinates as long as nothing blocked you.

Q: Why is he getting Power Armor? 
A: Since cover sliding will 99/100 times launch you a great distance into the air when sliding in the outdoors map, power armor is needed to ensure you dont die to fall damage.

Q: What ending is he doing? 
A: He uses the Minutemen to get to the Institute, but because of some weird quest scripts, it will at one point start progressing the Railroad ending instead. This is why the Railroad agents in the very end are both enemy and allies.

Q: How did you go Out of Bounds in the Sewer? 
A: When you reload a save file thats underwater from the main menu, you'll be on the surface of the water. This is most likely done to prevent drowning upon loading saves. Because the water extends outside of the pipe, this will conveniently place you out of bounds.

Q: How is this completed so fast? 
A: A major skip lets you start the final quest of the game at any time, sadly it does not grant access to the Institute, but after you enter the Institute you skip almost the entire half part of the game.

Q: What stats / perks do you take? 
A: Max agility and endurance for sprint and survivability, rest in Intelligence to make leveling faster. Action Boy for faster sprint regen, Solar Powered for more Endurance, and Pickpocket to make stealing from Sturges easier. The rest don't really matter all that much, the only other movement perk is moving target, which can be ok for longer categories. 

Q: How can he afford to buy all those things? 
A: Using the vendor glitch he can trick the game into thinking he's selling a ton of ammo, building up so much credit that he can buy whatever ammo, materials, or equipment he wants. 

Q: How is he climbing up walls? 
A: When he grabs an item, positions it below him, and runs backwards into a wall, the item will push him vertically upwards along the wall. This can be used to climb on top of buildings or up floors easily. Additionally, the collision in corners is sometimes not done very well, so he can item climb into a corner and get pushed out of bounds in a few places. 

Q: What's WR? 
A: Check http://www.speedrun.com/Fallout_4

Q: Why is he reloading saves and going through doors? 
A: He's loading a quick save as he goes through a door/cave in a save he made earlier in the run. This causes him to end up on the other side of that door with the character from the quick save, skipping a lot of travel time at various points of the run.

Q: Why is he using mines and VATS?
A: If you attack something with melee in VATS, it will teleport you next to the NPC or item in order to attack. If that will teleport you out of bounds or inside something, the game decides to not teleport you as OOB is obviously not an intended feature. What it will do then is to make you kind of just stand there, presumably waiting for the item of NPC to move to a location you can teleport to. If you cancel the attack while your character is in that "waiting" process, it will store your XYZ coordinates. If you then go on to attack something else in VATS with melee that is not blocked, it will teleport you to the stored coordinates instead of teleporting you to the current target. This is called a "punchwarp". This is a bit similar to cover sliding, but it teleports you instead of sliding, making it a lot more useful in some places. Since setting up with NPCs is very tedious, we use stuff like mines, grenades and molotovs to set up. Mines are the easiest to set up with but grenades and molotovs work fine to deploy with. We can set up the Punchwarp by throwing a mine behind or between some things, which blocks you from teleporting to it, or facing a corner in a room and throwing it upwards.

Q: Why is the game in Spanish?
A: It is played in French, because the dialogues that can't be skipped are the fastest in this language. It saves ~11 seconds compared to English. The second fastest language is German.

Q: Why is he leaving areas without finishing talking to someone?
A: With some certain dialogues, you don't have to finish talking to them before leaving. After a point is reached in the dialogue, leaving the area will make the game assume you finished talking to them and update the quest. In areas like the Railroad, an unskippable series of lines said by Tinker Tom can be skipped in various ways by leaving and entering the Railroad HQ combined with fast traveling to the front door of the HQ.

Q: Why doesn't he finish saving the Minutemen?
A: Since there has been found a way to enter the Institute with the help from Railroad instead of Minutemen, we don't need to save the Minutemen as they will be force-teleported to where ever they need to be later in the game.

Q: Why does he limit his fps to 20 or 30 at one point in the run?
A: This is done to help make certain coverslides more consistent. The game should be capped to the normal 60 fps at all times, however lowering it is allowed for coverslides only.

Q: What is the difference between Full-game and No Intro?
A: Full-game is the traditional category, where start at the very beginning. No Intro is a side category where you start about 7:40 later in the run, because the first 7:40 is considered very boring, involves very little speedtech, and is generally just waiting. This category is usually but not necessarily always just ran for fun, or to practise without having to do the full intro every run.

Q: Why does the runner pick up certain items?
A: There are numerous items in the run that are either essential to doing strats, or speed up the run in varying ways. The items that we pick up are:
 - A melee weapon, preferably a smaller and faster one. This is used for Punchwarps where you need to have equipped a meele weapon. You can use your fists, but that would require going into the pipboy and unequipping all your weapons each time, whereas a meele weapon can be hotkeyed and equipped/unequipped with next to no timeloss.
 - Destroyers Left Leg. This item will increase movement speed by 10%, which saves a massive amount of time. This is bought the first time entering Goodneighbour.
 - Stimpaks and Radaway. The wasteland is a dangerous place, theses two are needed to survive the run.
 - Bourbon, Buffout, Nuka Cola Quantum and Jet. All these drugs can be picked up at numerous places in the run, or bought from a vendor.
  ¤ Bourbon increases Endurance by 1 for a few minutes, reducing AP-drain while sprinting.
  ¤ Buffout increases Endurance by 2 for 5 minutes, which greatly reduces AP-drain while sprinting.
  ¤ Nuka Cola Quantum refills 100 AP when used, which is about 2/3 of a full AP bar in the run. This gives you about 15 seconds more sprint saving a decent amount of time.
  ¤ Jet is used for a strat inside the Institute where you have to jump a great distance to get to a door. Jet slows down time, but also seems to make you able to jump further, making this strat possible. There is a strat that can be done without jet that saves about 5 seconds done optimally, but is a lot harder so it is not commonly used.
 - Minutemen Outfit. This outfit increases Agility by 1, increasing your total AP.
 - Military Grade Circuit Board, Biometric Scanner and other items. These items are used for building a teleporter. All the items always spawn in a set position every run, except the Biometric Scanner. This item can be bought while shopping with Daisy, or if you get bad luck it has to be farmed for by killing a robot. This robot is usually on the way running to the Railroad, or in Virgils Cave. Cups, aluminium trays, bone cutters, hot plates and a telephone are all items that will be recycled into items like Ceramic, Aluminium, Copper and Circuitry which are needed to build the teleporter.

Q: I have so many more questions, where can I get in touch with the other people speedrunning Fallout 4?
A: We have a discord server for all Fallout speedruns where lots of speedrunners can answer all your questions. You can join it by pressing this link: https://discord.gg/zyMbNJa

Warp% Text Tutorial (Updated October 2017)

^^Making the saves^^


~You will need the following saves for the load warps:

 - A save outside the sewers.
 - A save outside MoF on the balcony.
 - A save in The Institute outside the door to Old Robotics. This save needs to have a mine (make sure to have it equipped aswell as a meele weapon).
 - A save in Old Robotics facing the same door from the previous save
 - A save outside Railroad HQ. The fastest door is the front door, but the one in the escape tunnel is easier.

You can also use Tomato's saves:
https://www.speedrun.com/saves/Warp_Saves_0uja6.zip


~Changing the name of the saves.

Go into the directory for your Fallout 4 saves. This is usually Documents>My Games>Fallout 4>Saves. There you will find the saves you made earlier. You will notice that the saves has many numbers and letters in the name. This is used to seperate saves from different characters. Because of this, we can't load warp using these saves since load warping does not go across characters. This can be fixed however by changing the names and thus removing making the game think that the saves aren't assigned to a character. (The saves will still have the character name, but don't worry about it). You want to change the names to match where they're made, so for example "Sewers" and "MoF". Then you can load the game and do runs.




^^The route^^


Create a new game. When starting the run as normal, make a quicksave immediately upon recieving player control. Then load the load warp save for Sewer. Load warp into the sewer. Upon loading into the sewer, make a new quicksave (or use the autosave) and load to main menu. When the game finishes loading, quickly press continue. You can spam Enter/E during the load to continue quickly. Start swimming towards the trigger inside sewers (the same as in Any%). Once you're inside the trigger, make a quicksave and load warp using the MoF load warp save.
https://i.imgur.com/cBxnL39.jpg

Once you're inside MoF, take your fists out and run to the front door (to the left). Running into this door activates a trigger that opens the door to the right. Leave through that door and run to the bridge, jump over to the duffle bag and grab the gun and ammo inside. Open up the inventory (pipboy will be invisible) and just press E/Enter once. The pipboy defaults to the Weapons tab, and the gun you picked up will be the only one in your inventory. The you kill the raiders in MoF in whatever pattern you prefer. The pattern used in Tomato's newest run is the fastest known route for the raiders. You may want to grab more .38 ammo on the dead raiders to get you through the rest of the run.

Once done with killing raiders, run up to the final room of MoF with the minutemen. Run up to Sturges, crouch and pickpocket his Institute Relay Targeting Sequence holotape. Then make a quicksave, load the Institute load warp save on the outside of Old Robotics. Set up a punchwarp in the corner to the left of the door (the same as in Any%), then load warp through the door. Upon loading in, exit the door immediately. Then run up the stairs to the right, and enter the Relay chip from Sturges into the terminal and load the data (just as in Any%). When preston starts talking, shoot him three times to skip his 3 lines. Spam through all of Prestons dialogue and take the Fusion Charge.

Make a quicksave, load the load warp save for Institute Reactor and load warp through the door. When loading in, run up to the wooden crate and grab the grenade inside. Open pipboy and equip the grenade and deploy the punchwarp using that. Then plant the charge. Make a quicksave, load the load warp save inside old robotics and load warp through it. Once loaded in, run up the stairs to the right and run into the relay room. Desdemona will then be teleported in. Spam E (or whatever your button for talking to people is) to skip her dialogue, then wait for the load to start.

When the load is over, make a quicksave, load the load warp save outside Railroad HQ and load warp through it. Run up to Tinker Tom, and talk to him. When he starts talking after you have said your "Alright Tom, fire it up" line, make a quicksave. Load the Institute load warp save inside Old Robotics and load warp through it. After loading in, run into the relay room and get teleported to Mass Fusion. Then press the detonator and wait for the glorious run to be finished.

Good luck on the runs :D
