Rules overhaul

All mutual to all categories rules were moved to "Game rules" section. "Category rules" now contain only information applicable to said category.

Previously established rules were added to clarify the established norms:

• No loading of saves made outside of the current attempt.

• Using OS functions to affect the game in an unintended way during the run is prohibited (this includes using Task Manager to kill the game process).

• No cheat codes.

ASE in full runs

Since a viable ASE setup was found for Any% runs, a new separate category was created some time ago with draft rules. Starting today, new additional restrictions are being added to assure that runs on the leaderboards were done legit:

• Every run requires a full game restart between attempts to avoid ingame timing abuse and possible memory manipulation.
• Every run must show all inputs via SKeys or any other software that will show all inputs during the attempts. Please note that programs such as NohBoard will not be permitted, since they are highly customizable and input overlay can easily be doctored. Handcam is also not suitable for this matter.
• Every run must show all in-game binds in settings after the run.
• Every run must show all the AHK scripts code if any were used.
• Every run must show Task Manager with all currently open applications at all times.
• Runs that wish to be considered world record must provide full raw recording of the session. Raw recording must include:
• Game starting procedure;
• Proving that the game you're starting is equivalent to the folder you're claiming to start it from (show location of currently running gta3.exe process);
• SHA256 and CRC64 of gta3.exe and main.scm ('data' folder) files. You can use 7-Zip or any other suitable software/online resource for it;
• Showing all currently open applications and running processes before the run.

ASE in ILs

New rules were added for ILs regarding usage of ASE:

• Altering mission scripts in any unintended way (changing game speed, deleting/changing parameters of entities) via ASE is forbidden. ASE can be used prior to a mission but not during it.
• If ASE was used it is required to provide used setup in the run's description.
• Any setup that cannot be replicated without cheats is forbidden (e.g. realistically impossible values that are used for ASE)

Moving forward, the following missions will be timed using RTA convention:

Patriot Playground

Multistorey Mayhem

A Ride in the Park

Gripped!

Rigged to Blow (bomb defusal)

This change has been made due to IGT inaccuracies and potential for abuse.

Be sure to read the rules for each individual level to know when the timing starts and ends. Please note that you are not required to show the stats screen upon completion.
