United Kingdomyeah feel free to post them here or in the speedrun discord
Thanks for the thoughts on new categories, some of these would be interesting, I have no idea how a 100% run would work, I forget if there is a gap list in this game, but that could definitely be added if you present a run of it. I don't want to add any more categories to these boards without at least a run with a video submitted. This is how we normally do things in the thps speedrun community.
In regards to the cheats based categories, there is a cheat% category in the category extensions which I did 1 run of on wii and it was so slow I never submitted it lol. THPS - Category Extensions - Speedrun.com but if you have any videos with some runs of any of these cheat% categories they would most likely be added to the category extension board.
No problem, that would be great. I fully intend to do regular any% but this definitely would be a fun side thing. Apparently it's a well known thing with the AGS engine but I am pretty unfamiliar with it myself I just saw someone post about it for another game in the speedyadventures discord and it turned out to give interesting results in this game.
I recently heard you can uncap the frame rate for ags games by pressing ctrl+e. In Hob's barrow this massively speeds up the game removing a lot of the downtime and waiting during cutscenes whilst also speeding up animations including walking. I am still learning the game and managed to get a 37 minute run with it.
I was wondering if we could make this a sub category or seperate category maybe just called "unrestricted" where we allow to uncap and use tools like rtss to limit it to a consistent frame rate (I was getting crashes with 400+fps but around 200fps worked very well). It just feels like it could be fun but I think allowing it on the main any% would be a little unfair as I think it is does give a quite different experience as playing casually. I'm interested ro hear anyone elses thoughts as I believe it could make a fun and much more fast paced run.
Lil video of how it looks fully uncapped:
The autosplitter is in livesplit already. It will come up as you pick the correct game category through 'edit splits' and you will have the option to enable it.
