That is "intended". If the Enforcer gets stuck in the cutscene, the cutscene will play again until the Enforcer can make it to the destination. If you look at old Winter Mod races, the Enforcer needs a handful of tries to make it into the trigger zone, since the handling is bad and it's sliding all over the place.

This "glitch" is fairly common in runs as well, I've had it a handful of times.

hello, the game statistics page says the same for the number of followers as for the number of moderators. this used to work properly in the past. #

"Any% No Arbitrary Code Execution"? However, you can argue that instapassing is arbitrary code execution as well

Just remember that '4.09' usually means 4 seconds and 90 milliseconds. The time you are looking for is 4:09, which means 4 minutes and 9 seconds.

We use a : sign between hours and minutes, and minutes and seconds. We use a . sign between the second and the fraction of a second.

Why not make the leaderboard TAS then? For any%. If people are eventually gonna cheat anyways. I don't think that people are going to cheat, though.

[quote]why should any% change based on a new skip? it didnt change when duping was found[/quote] Any% changed both times, it's about (not) modifying the category / adding new categories every time a "New Any%" happens

From what I've seen from the video, the guy shows potential, let's hope he'll come back and do legit runs

I would argue for banning timer programs altogether from VC any% from now on. Rely on IGT / any other "in-game" way of timing or it's a TAS.

Autosplitters should have been banned from the previous thread, along with other memory monitoring. We almost made a strat for GTA3 Any% that would have needed an autosplitter for timing, but now it may be a real issue with VC.

Good thing you brought it up.

Havi: explain mouse movement from 2:02:33

B for srcom leaderboards unless people still wanna run the old route, but I don't really see it happening based on previous experiences

[quote]Because you dupe party 10x and it has an extremly high chance of crashing at many spots through the run[/quote] What will happen to SRL racing, then? Just doing the old route?

This wouldn't be needed ever if i knew about a strat that guarantees not getting hit. Problem with getting hit is that you have a chance of getting a long falling amimation that gives time to the guys to gang up on you. As far as i know, there was no actual strat for this mission that cannot fail. You can kill the guys one by one this way, so you can Avoid damage.

Of course you can pass this mission almost every time, the main reason i tried this is to see what happens. And what happened was this really slow but really easy pussy strat, so I shared it since maybe it can be useful in the future. Maybe some day we will do this mission with 1hp or something

BBS routes:

Good pattern if you get the 30k rockets: Picture of route (this is a link) Vid of route (this is a link) (with no 30k so i did the church backup) Vid of route (this is a link) (i got 30k this time so this is the actual strat) If no 30k, skip 9 as well and go for 12. Pick up rockets by the church instead.

Bad pattern if you get the 30k rockets: Picture of route (this is a link) Vid of the route (this is a link) (with 30k backup at church) If no 30k, also skip 8, since you can't really take it anyways. Pick up rockets by the church instead.

With this route, don't rig the copcar during BBS, since it's not faster. Rig after Silence the Sneak.

Seems extremely slow but you just cannot die doing this strat https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B38XMNjp-HeiSHlId1NQdzZNb00/view?usp=drivesdk

Okay to not have splits, but make sure that your run time can be verified, so the video can't have missing parts and such (like twitch picnics). Splits are only there for decoration anyways, for the most part.

Better setups for the ToyZ instapasses + rampage starting. It gives you a free rampage start, no RNG involved. vids: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B38XMNjp-HeiM0d1R2dsVGs4T00/view https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B38XMNjp-HeiNUJVVmExdUc5U1k/view

Slightly updated Shoreside route video with no 30k rockets (so i used the backups). Still really sloppy, but it's something:

You do E2G right after you instapass Gone Fishing. You do Plaster Blaster after Gangcar round Up. You do Kingdom Come after Plaster Blaster.

I have a big problem with the new layout: the indicator icon for a 'Comment' for a run is not there anymore, which makes me hover over all runs just to find out if they have a comment attached to them.

Aside from this, I dislike the header, since it could easily fit in just one line, it is way too big this way.

The increased padding everywhere is bad for the user experience as well, could be useful for the mobile layout but not on a PC.

I also dislike the misc category stuff, it takes too much effort to get to them and I can only have one tab active. Why not embedded tabs for misc?

I also tried filtering the runs in the leaderboards and it was really awkward, mainly because of the hover triggers (it's basically a mouse maze to click on something there, if your pointer goes even a pixel away from the links, you have to restart).

Links in my guide are now the same color as the rest of the text and not bold, why? It makes it really bad to use for the reader.

I don't see anything in particular that I like in the new UI that wasn't already in the old one, unfortunately.

From my point of view, we lost useful functionality AND got a worse UI, I'd like the old one back for the time being, until the new one gets fixed up.

(Haven't tried the mobile layout yet tho, that might be good)

Route: link

[big]**NB: **some of these videos are slightly out of date, take a look at the segment videos at the end of the thread to see the current route.[/big]

[section=Full runs] Current WR by Anti, it has a big mistake on SAM, but otherwise excellent run:

Former WR by domasbak, outdated but really good run.

Former record by me, some minor route differences in Portland, but if you don't understand something in the first vid, watch this to clear it up.

[section=Portland] Pretty decent Portland with the latest route, also including weather manipulation.

[section=Staunton] Up to date vid by domasbak

Bling Bling Scramble video by pweasil: ¤https://youtu.be/VqnTTlHNSdY¤

[section=Shoreside] This segment is fairly sloppy and filled with small timelosses. However, the route is basically intact and all major/new strats are essentially flawless, so you can just correct the mistakes yourself.

OUTDATED Shoreside notes:

[big]Escort Service[/big]

• At the beginning of the mission, don't reverse the dodo into the alley, since it's slow. Reverse into the garage tho
• Try to get a car that is faster than a Manana not to take too long to kill the first two cars
• After you glitch the sportscar at the garage, you may take any half decent car since you will ditch it anyways
• Hurry to the bridge, since the cycles can meme you and you lose time
• If you get the "Scout the other end of the tunnel", you are losing time. If you are really late, the AI of the van can die and you have to retry the mission
• Before you kill the last car, smash the lamppost since it's in the way otherwise
• Follow the last car carefully and kill it as soon as you can
• Park some car near the phone for backup then get the gangcar for the mission

[big]Uzi money[/big]

• Try not to kill purple guys if there are too many red ones nearby since you will end up having to change cars
• if you get around 10 kills, go to the payphone and get your backup car. Then go up the bridge thing and finish the mission there
• Be really late with the rampage start for best consistency
• Aim for the building with the mj for a good bounce (otherwise you risk killing yourself on random traffic)

[big]Toyminator[/big]

• All the buggies might destroy themselves, in that case, kill yourself somehow

[big]Decoy[/big]

• Practice the takeoff
• take the first jump with the securicar a bit to the left to avoid the railing and the lamppost
• Swerve between the lampposts on the way to the bridge to shake the cops
• Use dashcam in the forest to actually see things
• Wait under the bridge up to 2:00 so that the heli won't shoot you
• switch to dashcam again and go straight to the rampage, be fast here
• Go immediately into the tunnel
• be slow in the tunnel
• If you are outside of the car at the end of the mission, you fail

[big]Bullion run[/big]

• Remember to get into the car again after the mission, otherwise it despawns

[big]E2G[/big]

• After you finish the mission, switch to topdown in the Sentinel to avoid shotgun Mafia guys spawning and blowing you up/damaging the car.

[big]Gangcar Round-up[/big]

• You will have the last two cars glitched, which means that in a run, you will save a couple of minutes in a real run
• You can park the sportscar inside of the alley in Escort Service for more timesave

[big]Afterwards[/big] After that, it is fairly straight-forward, so just read the route/watch the vid for everything.

GWillickers drop for Rigged to Blow to reach the Firefighter submission optimally (if you dupe Rigged to Blow + you want FF submission to dupe something else afterwards)

This saves like 12 frames for the mission IL but I reckon it saves more with all this setup stuff with FF.

I tried my All Missions takeoff setup for the Airport -> Construction site flight for Any%, seems like it could be a couple of frames faster if the route at the bridge is optimized. Bad flying but you'll get the point.

Edit: it's not faster, at least not by much (better vid below) https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B38XMNjp-HeiNlFWYnM1NXVFbk0/view?usp=drivesdk
