I actually hadn't noticed it wasn't already on, my bad. ^^; I'll update everyone's times later.

Since the Museum is now in a completable state, Museum is now an official category, and I also figured, while I'm here - let's make Fishing book and all Presents runs too.

On a similar note, due to the vagueness of the categories, All Tasks, Secrets, and Possible Objectives are now misc. categories - still runable, but brushed off on the main leaderboard.

The original idea of All Secrets was supposed to be shy of 100% given 100% wants you to buy all clothing and cars as well as unlocking everything, and all Secrets just wanted you to unlock everything.

But we're kinda at a point where tasks and jobs are objectives and not really "secrets", so I'm thinking maybe an update to the category is in order. Problem is, I can only think of a few "secrets" off-hand to make a checklist of, so I'll have to sit down and figure that out later. Actually, on that same note 'All possible Objectives" may also need a bit of a revamp, since objectives are now actually established more than they were when the categories were created.

idk, kinda throwing my thoughts out there. In case I decide to act upon my thoughts, so no one is jumped from it.

All jobs, get a house, and 100% are fine tho.

Do you think I should try for a second board for Discolored 2, or do you think we could just get away with slapping on an "Episode 1" and "Episode 2" onto this board?

I finally found the time to play through the Demo of the second game and I want to know your thoughts.

...Given how many people had ran this lately, I feel like I must warn you all that once the game updates, I WILL have to move your runs to "legacy runs" considering the game isn't exactly finished yet. It's just a formality because the game DOES add more, and it could change the route/run entirely.

Just giving you a heads up in case it happens and you guys wonder what might be up. ^^;

Where to download them: https://steamdb.info/depot/229581/manifests/

You have to type in the "download_depot 229580 229581 XXXX" with the ID of the version you want to download replacing the "XXXX"

How to Install: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1805934840

1. Run Cheat Engine.
2. File -> Open Process -> Steam
3. Set the right-hand settings to the following:

• "Memory Scan Options": steamclient.dll (just keep pressing S when the drop-down is open to iterate through each and find it quicker)
• "Value Type": Array of byte
• "Hex": checked
• "Writable": unchecked (!)
• "Array of byte": D0 84 C0 0F 85 2E FF FF FF

4. Click "First Scan". You should get a single Address and the searched Value next to it.
5. Right-click the Value -> Change value of selected address(es)
6. Enter new value: D0 84 C0 E9 2F FF FF FF 90
7. Click OK. Done. You can now exit Cheat Engine and are able to downgrade games without the "Manifest not available" error, until you exit Steam. Continue through the guide as before.

You will have to do this every time Steam is (re)started

If anything isn't clear (it isn't really for me), just ask and hopefully someone who understands this stuff better than I do can help. I'm just putting this here because now we know how to do it. ^^;

Though currently, none of the previous versions are allowed (they're all unfinished anyway so running the rules we currently have isn't possible), that might change one day, and having this here as a resource would be nice for when that does happen.

Slightly rhetorical question, because I know there was probably people who abused the hell out of the function so they just took it away, but where did the ability to add sub-games go?

Like, I decided to go in and better flesh out and clean up the board for Ahlman Arcade 2018, (which is a minigame collection game created by a bunch of college students, something that the ability to add sub-games really helped organize) and I found an entire minigame that was overlooked previously when creating the board (due to the fact it was hidden away), so I figured it'd be good to add it as a new sub-game when I realized that the ability to add sub-games at all, had been removed.

Like, there's not even a button to request the addition of a new sub-game to go through mods with, it's just gone. So, how would one go about adding one to the board if the situation would call for it? Like, if it was a game that was heavily modded or a game that has a lot of minigames inside it? What do?

I'm working on requesting a third game to a series that I want to try getting a series board for, but I've looked at the "Request Series" form, and I'm slightly confused as to what I should be using for the "link to a video of your run", like, will any of the games do? Or do I need to submit a 4th one? Or do I need a specific one? It's just kinda unclear to me so I'm asking for clarification sake. ^^;

Also, I tried running 100% EOR due to the new-ish update and while Miner's Dry appears to be fixed, the projector for the Brimclif's elevator seems to be broken. Because when I did the puzzle as was, the game seemed to softlock on me, idk if that's just me or not though.

So I verified this run for: https://www.speedrun.com/crazy_machines_1.5#Inventors_Training_Camp

It didn't have any weird variables or anything, but it doesn't appear on the leaderboard for some reason. Any reason why?

I made individual boards of "sub-games" for Ahlman Arcade so now, if you want to run the games here, you now should post them to the individual boards here: https://www.speedrun.com/ahlman_arcade_2018/games#unofficial=on

I'm confused as to what they are, and I've been looking for anything (forum post, changelog, whatever) that can better explain what they're supposed to be, and I'm either blind and just haven't seen things that are out in the open, or there's actually nothing that explains what they are, but either way, I'm curious as to what they are. ^^;

I'd like to find a way to quickly reset crosses, gravestones, and postcards to open availability to run misc. cats and 100%, I've looked for a debug menu, because that'd be probably the best bet, but I have yet to find anything.

Presuming anyone else stumbles upon this land, if you guys have information on how resetting progress like this works, it'd be much appreciated, and would be better than having to reinstall every 100% attempt. DX (presuming even that works because idk)

What are the prerequisites for a multiple game board? (like the 1545 boards, N64 Triathlon, or general multigame boards)

I noticed something funny when looking at my profile that I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone else bring up:

Look at where "The Occupation" is placed on both lists... Why is the word "The" counted for moderated games, but not followed ones? How did this happen? XD

I've looked around, watched tutorials, read that one Reddit thread you get as one of the first results when searching for this question over and over again, but I suppose I'm too uneducated in what I'm doing to understand what it is I'm supposed to do for this. ^^;

I'm trying to automatically remove load times for a couple games I run using a load remover, similarly to how those who run https://www.speedrun.com/hp2pc do, not like... a set auto splitter, just a way to remove load times.

I was told to get Cheat Engine, and I have. I've looked through it, examined the changing variables, but didn't know what kind of variable I'm looking for, the games run Unreal Engine 3 (if that helps) and I'm very confused, any advice in regards to finding what I'm supposed to be looking for? Help would be much appreciated! ^^

Routing Ideas

Tricks (Jun 10/19) Conveyor Skip (seems possible, but there's no current known way to do so) (Jun 10/19) RNG Manipulation (Just... in general would be useful) (Jun 10/19) Recreate Bedlamite WR

Tech Stuff (Jun 10/19) Crash Prevention (Jun 10/19) Put back in Coaster Vinyl (Jun 10/19) Auto-Timer to take out Load Times

Admin Stuff (Jun 10/19) Look into DRM-Free versions, see if they should be allowed (Jun 10/19) Look into past patches, see if they should be allowed

That's the current list atm, now that it's written down, I now have something to look at and something to spend time working on. I will continue using this thread to log my findings. --Doodle

I've been seeing this everytime I go through that last cutscene, but I haven't yet looked into it:

This looks like how the door loading zones are loaded in, and I'm wondering if it is. It's probably not useful to any run, as the door probably doesn't open (similarly to how the Devlin 2 cutscene doors have no use yet still have loading zones) but I've been wondering for awhile where those loading zones might lead to if we could ever enter them.

Generally the difference between softlock and cutscene is minimal, because cutscene is kinda like "glitchless", however, there's only one glitch that differs the two being the softlock glitch at the end of the game, since we don't consider out of bounds a "glitch" but merely a lack of collision in areas where there's supposed to be.

So my proposition, is if we can find an actual glitch in the game, like an item duping glitch, as an example, then we could easily rename cutscene to "glitchless" and softlock into "glitches allowed" (or... something of that nature.)
