Crash% guide

Here is an in-depth guide for Crash%
Make sure you have an input display working, I've made guides for that too.
I recommend watching the World Records as well

-1. Back up your save files, e.g put them in a zip file or on your desktop, then load into the game and delete them. Once you're done with your running session, create new save files in each slot and replace your new save files with your backed up ones.

0. Before each run, align your cursor properly. The easiest way to do that is to put it within the triangle on the left side of the crane, you can put it roughly so your bottom points of the cursor touch the most top and most left parts of the crane.
1. Start the timer and press space/enter at the same time (I will usually say space, but both work), then press space again when you can go into the save file selector. With a tiny delay press F, then with another delay press Down (S or down arrow work).
2. Spam Right arrow and D at the same time (usually you want to go for either 3 double presses or 6 individual right presses for "Find The Embers" or 4 double presses or 8 individual presses for "Rendezvous").
3. Once you start loading into "Find the Embers" or "Rendezvous", you should see the timer go up again, once it has reached +2.9s, press your skills menu hotkey (e.g your timer stops at 2.50 during the loading screen, at roughly 5.40 press skills menu hotkey).
4. When you press your skills menu hotkey, press the following buttons in this order: Left click, space, Left click, Left click, space, move your mouse down to the throw ability, Left click, Left click, space, Skills menu button (it must be a button on your keyboard, mouse buttons will not work for this)
5. While exiting the menu, start holding down Right click, and after you can see your weapon being held up, press left click to throw the weapon and after a small delay, exit the game to the main menu
6. Your timer should stop midway through the loading screen, this is hopefully your final time. Now the only thing left to do is wait until your game exits to desktop.

Congrats! You have now learned another quirk of the game and how to do it fast.

Input display guide (OBS)

This is a guide for an input display to use for Crash% but it can be used in normal situations as well (OBS ONLY)



1. Go the the github page for OBS Input overlay at [https://github.com/univrsal/input-overlay/releases](https://github.com/univrsal/input-overlay/releases)

2. Download the Windows installer and the presets .zip file.

3. Run the Installer (You may get prompted with an error message, press "More information" and then "Run anyway").

4. Download the zip file at the end of this guide for the full keyboard overlay.

5. Make a folder anywhere on your PC, this will contain all the presets for the input overlay.

6. Unpack the zip files you downloaded in this folder.

6.5 In each folder you will find a .json file as well as .png file(s), you can edit .pngs in any way you want, just make sure the keyboard is clearly visible.

7. Open OBS and at the bottom of the 'Sources' tab, press the + and select 'Input Overlay', then OK.

8. For "Overlay image file" go into the folder you created, go into one of the preset folders (For Crash% you need the full keyboard, which is named "qwerty_full") and select the .png file (See below for more information about the different keyboards files provided)

9. For "Overlay config file" go into the same preset folder and select the .json file.

10. Verify that your inputs are being registered and press OK

11. Create a new Input Overlay source for the mouse

12. For "Overlay image file" go into the preset folder named "mouse" and select the .png file.

13. For "Overlay image file" go into that folder again and select one of the .json files, mouse movement is not needed so select which one you're most comfortable with.

14. Resize both of the overlays and make sure they're fairly visible.

15. (Optional) Right click on one of the sources and select filters if you want to alter the input overlays in ways like hue shift, opacity etc.



Additional information about the full overlay

-The "qwerty_full" preset provided is a modified version of the pre-made "qwertz_full_size_german" preset, as the full QWERTY-style keyboard is a pixel version, which some might consider as bad-looking.

-There are 4 different versions provided, 2 of them are full opacity (dark and light) while the other 2 are 75% opacity on unselected keys (dark_2 and light_2)

-As mentioned previously, you are free to modify them in any way you may desire, just make sure all keys are visible

-The .json file works for all 4 presets, but it does not work for others

Input display guide (Universal)

This is a guide for an input display for Crash% but it can be used in other situations as well

This will work for any recording software that allows for more than 1 source, including window source.



1. Go to [https://github.com/ThoNohT/NohBoard/releases](https://github.com/ThoNohT/NohBoard/releases)

2. Download the newest version of the "NohBoard-ReWrite" .zip file, at the time of making this guide it's v.1.3.0

3. Create a new folder on your PC.

4. Extract the downloaded .zip file in that folder.

5. Run NohBoard.exe.

6. Right click in the blue space and press "Load keyboard".

7. From the category, select "Normal".

8. In Keyboard Definition select your keyboard of choice then close.

9. In your recording software, add a new source and select the "NohBoard" window.



Keep in mind that this is an application, so you need to have it keep running when you are recording.
