the highway route we did a long time ago is like 8-10s slower than the route in the video
Nice, i'd like to see what times are possible for some races :D .
as the stream goes on, the audio gets more ahead of the video. This does not happen when i local record, but only happens when i am streaming. I am using FFsplit but i am betting the fix for OBs would apply to that aswell. Any suggestions? ffsplit forums are dead so i doubt i could get help there :D
if sa is not your fight,then you should be quiet about it and maybe listen to less of the nonsense cyberthunder says. lol, 1:26 to 1:19 strangely quick. It's called getting good, and even then 1:19 ls is beginner pace, you should keep up with the times old man @CyberThunder .
You've had your chips is a 3:00 mission if done very well. I would not call the setup for it a "little setup", still needs to be timed. setup takes around a minute or more even (catalina troll call is the only call you will have available for all i know, you can't use woozie call because you need to answer that) you will have to wait 20 seconds to receive the call in fender ketchup because the driving around part does not take more than 40 seconds. the crates during explosive situation duped can be a troll = 10 seconds 1:30 lost if you don't do the dupe with my estimations (most likely wrong, even less) I wouldn't say that's too much time.
Oh that's awesome news,patrick, a dupe that is RNG dependant is just what we needed Kappa Good thing is it doesn't save much time, so i guess i'll try it in the "i don't care about this run anymore" kind of paces :D
Inconsistent dupe : Explosive situation: the dumpers SOMETIMES don't spawn inside each other, so you CAN dupe it. The problem with this is there is not yet a consistent way to make them not get stuck inside each other and fail the mission, so for now it's a 50/50 thing, so inconsistent dupe HYPE!
At first i thought that killing those 2 guys does something to prevent the dumpers getting stuck inside each other, but after trying many times that does not seem to decide the fortune of the dumpers :D
so if you're doing this dumb dupe the route would probably be : Flight school -> grab rustler -> park rustler near bike school -> grab phonecall -> take off with the rustler again and go to maverick (or do the opposite and get maverick first? not sure) -> hold call through fender ketchup ( during the mission get out of the car and start holding call, then pass the mission) -> dupe explosive situation.
Anyway i've not tried many things and lots of stuff needs to be tested which could maybe make this consistent. This is not too big of a timesave, so not duping it would not lose too much time.
Cheats are cheats, if runs that have an accidental cheat activated would be accepted, then someone would just eventually start abusing that and give themselves an advatange in situations like driving in the rain in photo opportunity. So no,it really sucks when it happens (it has happened to me a couple of times on decent runs, i know that feel :P )but i don't think it should be allowed.
Also i don't get what you mean by "choke" when there's many different combinations of WASD cheats that can be entered, if you're gonna focus on not trying to enter a accidental cheat, you will just end up making tons of mistakes.
-
cancelling putting away phonecall animation for burning desire call(do people not know about this or am i missing a reason of why noone does this?)
-
Skipping a small part of the sweet's girl cutscene at the end(the part where it shows sweet and his girl getting out the car) saves 0.5-2 sec or so.
Oh nice you guys finally having discussions about stuff like this instead of letting few people decide PogChamp
Update : After doing this many many many times,it is definetly not consistent enough to do in serious runs,especially because the police bike sometimes decides to despawn for no reason (70-90% of the time). Gonna still try and figure this out,there might be a despawn point somewhere? Or it has something to do with the reverse camera trick? Anyway this is just one of those "yolo strats" for now.
Good point,though it hasn't happened to me yet. Also if you do this you don't need to store the bike in the garage (the one you get after doing lure (wayfarer,sanchez,freeway)) so 5 or more seconds gained :p
So i had this idea in my head for a while now,its known if you get 2 stars,there is a high chance that a police bike will spawn right behind you so i decided to test this for yay ka-boom-boom, surprisingly getting the 2 stars is not a problem at all,you take the bike from the officer,and run him over,also run over 1 more pedestrian = 2 stars (do it like i do in the video).Taken from wiki: "Police Bike Spawning on road almost everytime after saving the game at the garage in Doherty, San Fierro" (so if cop bike doesnt spawn,just save again,its probably like 5% chance it wont spawn)i have saved about 50 times,and every single time after i saved,there was a cop bike on the road. Here is a video of me attempting to do this (i have tried this about 5 times so far,everytime i have spawned a cop bike before going in the factory,maybe you dont even need to do the despawn/spawn trick to get a bike?) (Can't do anything about the lag or quality,it was either this or no video at all) Yes i know my driving is bad and i do this extremely bad. Also i am willing to bet a lot of money that any of these "strat" guys can make a better + more detailed video than me and improve this strat and make it consistent. Guessing this doesnt save more than 15/20 seconds,though it gives you a bike (you usually get shit cars on the road when you get out of the factory,maybe even faster than getting a BF-400.
