oh by the way @xelnia watching your run now, just a side note it might be better to bring up your interface before the "start game" when you're on the course rather than before selecting time trial, and I don't think you'd have to show it after exiting the course either, I feel like that'd get a little too tedious for runners lol, just before start game would be fine

Alright, it's done! @xelnia I'm sorry I didn't realize while removing the old categories that it'd remove your runs or I guess give them an error or something because of the removal, you'll have to resubmit them/edit them :(

oh boy, so since speedrun.com doesn't allow setting specific subcategories for specific full game categories meaning all or one, I'm gonna have to make each full game category its own set of subs for this to work :P fun fun, for the time being if you submit submit it under the Championship II subcategory so at least that is kept all together, this is gonna take a while moving runs from the current system of one set of subcategories into separate ones for each short/score, just so you guys are aware I gotta recreate all the full game categories except for the time trials one so I can delete the one for all subcategory

Edit: I'll need to finish the rest of the board later tonight when I get home

Are you positive you don't have a save button? For that section it should be under the "default view" option

Then wouldn't there be more conflict? I mean one wants versions of the game and the other/rest don't think it's necessary for the board

Also, I'll be adding the board either tonight or tomorrow, remember if anyone sees this that you must show windowed in some fashion for pc runs and if it's a console run show your interface beforehand, and if you get a run done before I get the board(s since DLC and no DLC) up then just post it in here and I'll add it

I'm gonna ask the runner real quick, it's possible they were editing past runs that were already on the board which would be rather confusing, I know I would've gotten a message by now if those runs were actually sitting there for 8-12 months :P

Edit: they were past runs that had their platform edited since ps3 wasn't added until recently

hey @xelnia quick question.. your runs that have yet to be verified, were they past runs on the boards here by chance or completely new to the boards?

There's no way that can be right because I just got submissions for a pac-man game that are from 8-12 months ago and it explicitly states that it was submitted at that time

I just want to add that "submitted by" isn't always the actual submission date and goes off the date the run was done itself

Alright so then what should be done with the current runs for that category then? Since yours or teapartycthulu's don't show in windowed or show any desktop/console interface, if we set the rules as such with windowed mode for pc and showing interface for console I wouldn't want there to be exceptions, would you two be alright with those runs not being valid due to ruleset?

Before I add this, what kind of ruleset do we want? I take it strictly IGT calculating the time from each time trial? I wouldn't mind the time in between levels since that's just menuing and it seems IGT will be the timing method (in the actual time trials), how should we tackle the 4 dlc courses Championship III, Highway II, Big Eater and Mountain? Should they be included in the run even though they're DLC or should it be split into two subcategories without DLC and with? Obviously replays won't be allowed, should the runs be done in windowed mode in case of splicing together runs? If so, what would be done with console runs, have them show their profile/interface during?

I'd like to add that from now on replays are allowed so long as you show any part of your desktop if on PC or if on console show your console's interface (xbox home button or the playstations)

I think a way we could combat that is by making it so the runs are done in windowed mode with the desktop showing, or some variation of windowed mode

I'd really like to see if anyone else has any thoughts on this or interest, I'm not 100% sure on adding it if only one person has or will do it but it looks legit

Hey there Jaypin88, even though I am just a regular mod for this game, in my opinion there isn't enough activity to warrant another moderator at the moment, your Short 1 run has been the only run done in quite some time by anyone

Posted today there's a bounty for a new category in Titanfall 2 (the Challenges category which consists of 3 of the most technical levels) $5 dollars to the 2nd-5th place runners one week from today and $20 dollars if someone beats bryonato's time of 9:51

So I guess I got mod overnight, first order of business is removing the current runs since the flash version of this game isn't accurate being 4x faster (when it comes to drops) than the original Jetpac and 2x faster than Jetpac retro from Jetpac Refuelled, it's also not an official release of the game and this isn't a flash game board, not to mention the sprites seem to act weird.

Here are the differences between the official versions of the game- (Fuel is timed dropping from the top of the screen until it fuels the rocket and the aliens are timed from the frame they enter one side of the screen and exit the other completely)

zx spectrum(tapes): Fuel drop time - 5.508s Alien movement time - 4.7s, bounces Ship up time - 8.916s

Atari ST: Fuel drop time - 6.2s Alien movement time - 4.68s, explodes on impact Player movement speed is faster than the other versions

Xbox One (Rare Replay): Fuel drop time - 5.974s Alien movement time - 5.607s, bounces Ship up time - 8.978

Jetpac Refuelled (Retro): Fuel drop time - 2.804s Alien movement time - 4.739s, explodes on impact Ship up time - 8.01s

DK64: Fuel drop time - 2.976s Alien movement time - 4.68s, explodes on impact

So from what we can see here with the speeds the boards are gonna be separated with the consoles/versions in their own subcategories. It'll go ZX Spectrum, Atari ST, XBOX ONE (Rare Replay), Jetpac Refuelled (Retro), and N64(DK64). Unfortunately Retro and DK64 can't be paired together under one subcategory because there's a 2 second difference on when enemies disappear after the ship goes up, other than that they're almost the same version of Jetpac. Timing of player movement speed was only mentioned for Atari ST because surprisingly the player movement is the same both walking and boosting across all the platforms except the Atari ST one.

If you have any suggestions about anything at all for the game or I messed up something drop them here in this thread

Well no one will ever know because the vod doesn't exist anymore

The thing with that sorta speedrun where instead of AI it's actual people is that someone could just get a bunch of friends together and get illegitimate times because of boosting, yeti hunter isn't a gamemode that's staying either so I doubt you'd be able to request that to be its own thing
