Would anyone be particularly upset if I removed some of the IGT categories? While in some cases it is useful (such as the Island Express), it's just unwieldy in longer runs, especially when said longer runs can literally take YEARS in-game.

Exactly what the title says.

Fair enough, just a suggestion.

I just discovered that in the Super Mario Bros Category Extensions page, there's a "user-defined categories" category, which allows users to create their own subcategory. Something like that could be useful for people wanting to run categories even more arbitrary than the ones we have now (You add your own when submitting your run, btw).

Ah, no.

Alright, glad that's cleared up ;)

I've never messed with Discord much; I might have to check it out some.

I entered in genocide mode, and killed all of the required enemies in Hotland so as to get shorter Mettaton dialogue. How is it NG+?

Maybe it's just on my end for some reason, but two things:

1. After submitting a run for verification, it doesn't show up under "pending actions" or the "runs awaiting verification"; They'll still get verified, so I assume the mods can still see them, but it can be annoying not knowing if it submitted correctly.

2. The world record history graphs in the stats pages aren't working; they shows the graph area, but nothing is actually ON the graph.

That makes sense to me

How about in GDQ%, to have subcategories for TPE, Neutral, and Genocide, as they may all be run in GDQs at some point?

The World Record history doesn't show up for me anymore; It was already bugged after the layout change, but a reload would always make it re-appear. Now it won't appear no matter what.

According to TGH, Toby has cleared it for next AGDQ.

Fastest possible would be hard to calculate; You could potentially find the best possible time for each room and boss in the game and add them together, but that would be fairly mind-numbing and take forever. It'd be nice to know a general estimate, but I haven't the skills or patience to cobble one together.

And that doesn't even factor in possible skips in the game that are undiscovered as-of-yet.

Why not have both the old and new layouts available in the settings? Those who prefer the old can use the old, and those who prefer the new can use the new.

Oh, just for anyone else who's search bar doesn't work, you can still just search "speedrun.com [game name]" on Google. Typically the first link will be the speedrun.com page for that game. It's not the best system, but at least it works reliably.

I think that it's been noted previously on here, but the search bar isn't always working; nor is the World Record history. The layout itself isn't too bad, but some of the bugs are quite annoying. I know nothing of programming, but most seem like they should be relatively easy to fix.

Not too major, but the number above the "notifications" button never disappears; It rises if I get a new notification, but it doesn't go away after checking it.

Also, the World Record history isn't always working; sometimes the graph shows up, but most of the time it doesn't appear.

Why did you have to make everything WHITE? It's impossible to read anything! I changed the theme to Speedrunslive, and at least I can read things. The new layout is bad on it's own, but at least bring the old colors back! Or, at the very least, make the text BLACK!

EDIT: The color is fixed, nevermind. It looks a lot better now. Sorry for being a bit... extreme, for lack of a better word.

I didn't think of using 64 bit; that might help a bit. I tried lowering some of the settings, but I never noticed a difference in load times.

Something like that with livesplit would be nice, but I wouldn't know how to set it up; I'd imagine it requires some coding skills, of which I have none.

EDIT: I just tried turning off V-Sync and anti-aliasing, and the scene transition time just dropped astronomically. So, it's one of those two that causes super long load times.

I only just thought about this. I lost almost 40 seconds during scene transitions in a recent run, while Walkinator's 10:56 run only lost 22. I don't want to sound complainy; I'm just wondering what graphics settings would be optimal?

If it's not the graphics settings causing it, then I don't know what it could be; it's definitely not my computer, that's for sure.

(scene transitions are the black-screen moments when, for example, switching from the KSC into the VAB)

EDIT: I probably should've just put this in the general discussion thread; sorry about that.
