Canada@Fioresa I've retimed your run and also got a 3:34, I think there was a misunderstanding with the rules when you read it so I tried to clarify it, it is when you select play on the first track. The rules were actually written by neither Nakh or I, but the old moderator of this game who deleted their runs so their reference runs for others aren't here anymore. It's timed that way because you have to spam to get the car you need so you are technically engaged with the game and that's why that track selection is basically this game's "New Game" button.
@Fioresa I addressed you in the other forum post.
Was just a mistake, and no mod abuse would ever happen under the LEGO communities watch.
It seems Nakh didn't see you use "Tutorial Skip" the first time which is why they accepted it then, sorry about that mistake. By loading a level to skip a tutorial then exiting, you are no longer starting from a New Game, you have played on the file already. A New Game for this game is a cleared browser cache or loading it in incognito mode. This is why that skip is banned now.
As for timing issues, Nakh has never modded for series game before but they requested this game so they got modded and they are new and prone to many mistakes. I'm trying to monitor what I can with what happens in this game but it's not easy.
The Community and discussion for this game happens in the LEGO Speedrunning Discord server. It's the fastest way to asks questions and clear any confusions. Hope this helps explains the situation.
Moderators of LEGO games are part of a larger community and would never have the ability to abuse power.
Thanks, I'll be sure to start practicing for some runs now :)
Also, you can run during the white screen so timing on first input is kind of hard. And just like Minecraft rsg runs, one of the rules is that the seed must be shown and put in the description so the moderators can verify it's a real world, I think this rule should be implemented too.
I propose that you start the run with the screen paused as it show's the seed and timing would start the frame the screen is unpaused so timing can be more accurate.
There should probably just be a Rogue category, which would basically just be set seed to make it fair to everyone. Rogue0 just seems like an arbitrary category to me.
I plan on doing runs for all the categories but I just want the rules to be as clear as possible, now's a good time to really fix the leaderboards as there are only 2 runs. thanks for considering. :).
The rules for Rogue state the seed "0000000000" must be used but the Wr run doesn't seem to use that seed? My location is way different
Yes, 2-1 and 1-3 tricks are fine. FDT include punch launches, bar launches, lag clips, and transition skips, but does not include switching Vsync to achieve faster load times
"It's important to note that we very reasonably consider the Lego Batman 2 community to be anyone who's ever run the game, past or present" This is your definition of community, but we did not agree with such a definition because it doesn't include someone like LoS, who is actually part of this game's community and his contributions can be easily found in the Discord in #dc_super_heroes if you scroll up and see his messages as far back as 2019, which include skips like "Mr. Freeze skip" as you coin it, found in 20/9/2019.
Just like you said yourself, JwC has no need to insert himself into the situation as he's not part of the community by your definition.
@Fatt If the math of your sheet was correct, the results would have reflected that. According to your sheet of the votes, you included people who stated "I don't care" in the "For Seperation of the boards" part of your list and it is inherently flawed because it disallows them to vote for themselves and takes their short answer and uses it to support your views. I am friends with one of the members you contacted and they expressed to me they didn't even know they were being used as leverage for such a situation.
An official vote was conducted in the LEGO Speedrunning Discord where said community resides and discussion of this game is predominantly featured in. 19/29 voted (14 for No Seperation, 4 for Separation, 1 No Opinion). If the remaining 10 people voted it's clear the result would end up with the same unanimous conclusion. Like most games, the community resides off src (for obvious reasons, i.e it's lack of communication features and organization) and if you remained part of the community, or at least in the Discord, you would know the answers to the many inquiries you bring up and assumptions made. The results speak for themselves is all I can say.
For OoB%, are you allowed to jump Oob before all the enemies die since them walking into the castle counts as a kill? so the game will end whilst you're already Oobs.
Thanks for actually responding to an old game, src notifications are weird for forum posts so I submitted a run instead to hopefully get a mod's attention. The Dev seemed like he wanted this game on src and Resources actually provide a link to the game so I wouldnt delete it. Since you also took the time to fix everything I'll do the runs again and maybe get other people too aswell.
No info regarding time start or end, no runs have videos. Very weird objectives and no info on what constitutes a "touching" of said objects.
