Rampage start something (here vigilante, but could anything taxi, paramedic or even pcj playground) - cancel the mission (you're still on a rampage) - setup the savewarp at the safehouse near the hospital - start paramedic (while still on a rampage) once the rampage is over you can warp back at the safehouse with the replay

Note: killing a patient on level 6 ISN'T part of the strat Kappa

I think my opinion on the fps is different from anyone else, I think the game should be PLAYED with the frame limiter ON, but should speedrunner RUN their games the way "it was intended and should be played" ? I think that turning off the frame limiter could be considered within the speedrunning spirit which is to use everything the game allow you to get a faster time, some people might argue that changing settings during a run should be banned, but that's already what people do in VC when going to german/french to english, or GTA IV with traffic density.

the only problem with this would be that, in my opinion, using an external to limit shouldn't be allowed, and it might lead to some unfair competition between people getting barely 30fps and the others getting 250+ fps. but life isn't fair.

As I'm not running SA, and don't have any intention to (maybe some dumb category, jumps or collectables..., or a big race, but nothing really serious), this post shouldn't be considered as a vote but more like me throwing ideas. Either way I'm fine with a "Frame limiter ON" rule.

Edit: I remembered something from a few months ago on #gta, when Tirean was streaming a 30fps run to prove it was faster

Apr 17 16:31:45 <jolzi> S pls if you install sa you have frame limiter off Apr 17 16:31:58 <jolzi> and if you use nvidia default settings that'S 30 fps Apr 17 16:32:10 <jolzi> so install game and play the way it is is 30 fps

I made 2 videos,

the first one is about picking up the hospital tutorial via a replay made while picking up Misty (so you still have 2 police cars spawn at the precinct when you dupe&fail a mission)

and the second one is duping&failing "Triads and Tribulations", starting "Chaperone" with a rampage, I believe it's 10-20s faster minus setting up the rampage than top-level runs (10s compared to eidgod/vegeto 20s compared to omega/adam), but cutting the grass become much harder I think the best rampage to use would be the rocket rampage after starting Cipriani's Chauffeur, therefore not using it for Taking Out The Laundry but the shotgun one instead

I don't think DLC should be used for speedrun, at least for regular Any%, if using them change significantly the run (just faster overall, or different strategies) it might be worth running and be another category (Any% with DLC) The same reasoning should apply for Classic%,but it's an arbitrary category so the reasoning could be different.

Also, if it's decided DLC are no longer allowed (which would most likely happen since there kinda was an unwritten consensus among runners not to use them until now), what should happen to DLC runs already on the leaderboard ? should they be removed ? moved to another category ? or should they remain untouched by the new ruling because they were legit runs that followed the rules as the time they were made ? (on a similar note, I remember someone saying on #gta that if one day 30fps on GTA SA was banned, 30fps times should stay on the leaderboard as legacy runs because the rules at the time allowed it)

Note: this is just my point of view, and because I don't intend to run GTA V it shouldn't weight into the decision to allow or not DLC usage

you can pick up M16 during liberator and hope not to shoot the old oriental gentleman with it

I think the money could be split over those three choices, but should be used primarily to fund the mumble (maybe something like 50/25/25%) because it's the only thing only used for #gta. oasiz probably uses his server for other stuff all year long, and Pac said he'd rather see the money go somewhere else (even though he spent $3500 for the domain name DansGame ) As for channel content, I agree with m00nchile, the channel should feature one runner every week or so (like SDA did with their Community spotlight stream every week before SGDQ), and restream organized GTA-related races Also GTAMarathon could create a GTA twitch team

You could try this OBS plugin https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/directdraw-dx8-capture-support.27

I think there's 2 ways to define GTA SA - All Missions, you can either do everything that increment the mission counter (increment_mission_attempts in main.scm) that means everything written in this http://pastebin.com/MzsvdpAi or you can do every missions defined as missions in the main.scm (DEFINE MISSION), list: http://pastebin.com/x5n2mncR

the differences between the two definitions are listed here: http://pastebin.com/CF9XwV6a

both definitions include Taxi-Driver, Paramedic, Firefighter, Vigilante, Freight Train and Pimping Sub-Mission ResidentSleeper but also stuff not even done in 100% like Burglary, Beat the Cock!(triathlon) and some video games

or for regular NG, you can go to the final marker during a glitch phone call to not trigger PW2 again sadly you'll have to cancel the call afterwards

you could always set up the rampage while he's not available (phonecall, mission)

PP instead of BY insta fail Cap the Collectors

For NG+

Just duping the 5th time instead of doing it normally, now ladies doesn't even shoot at you

It could be possible to do it on regular NG but when you reach the mission end marker you often¤ start PW2 again and that will crash the game (unhandled exception) when you'll start Cap the Collectors

¤often means that I once manage to not trigger PW2 when finishing it and it worked, but when I tried to record it (4times) it always start the mission and the game crashed during the cap the collectors cutscene

You don't have to be on the platform to set up the stacking (I failed it a couple of times because I'm bad but it's not harder than the usual setup)

During PW2 going around the back seems easier/safer

Also I left my car on the road so the collectors crash into it but it doesn't seem to slow them that much, any idea?

I was looking on strats for a NG+ run and tried to answer phonecalls during PW1 I was able to answer 2 phonecalls (one on my way to the PCJ and another on the boat) but sadly the mission softlocks during the "I talk I talk" cutscene because, I guess, the audio files doesn't load because we're not technically on a mission

I tried a bunch of stuff (getting to the marker during the phonecall or during a rampage) but it doesn't do anything

Note: if someone find a way to make this work it could be used in regular NG since the rampage would end during the mission and then a phonecall could be answered near the boat Also, people don't shoot at you while you're answering phonecalls (could be useful for YOLOing some missions)

This is my contribution to Vice City glitch hunt. Using the clothes glitch prevent your vehicule to explode, this might be useful to save the vcn maverick during the "linear part" or the infernus during Bar Brawl + PP (using the clothes from 'The Party') in the video I had to use replay twice because the heli was still taking damage from the wall after the first replay.

[Quote]Both the game and timer were paused during stream downtime between both Vods 1-2 and 2-3. Twitch provides no timestamps for Vod creation time (only date). Timing of RTA time is impossible. [/Quote] Actually, I think the Twitch API give timestamps for vods, because if you use twitchtools.com/video-download.php , it gives you the time and date of the beginning of the broadcast

Twitch VODs part 1 http://www.twitch.tv/cyberthunder/b/553383267 part 2 http://www.twitch.tv/cyberthunder/b/553437103 part 3 http://www.twitch.tv/cyberthunder/b/553445708

Assuming that Cyber's run is legit (no cheats or loading save during picnics) it should be possible to give this run a RTA timing

final time of the run is between 5:38:28 and 5:40:26

This run was probably a 5:39:xx but I guess the 5:40:26 should be the time used for the leaderboard (if the swimming times are ok as well)

I don't know if this is enough to get your time on the leaderboard, but in the end it shouldn't matter because I'm sure you'll get a better run soon

I took the liberty to upload it to Youtube

or if you want to upload it to your youtube here are the encodes I made before uploading to YT (11MB files), you shouldn't try to upload lossless video files because it's slow and most of the times they doesn't work.
