North Carolina, USAThe game is just prone to crashing. I've been mostly running on DOSBOX-X due to the latest stable DOSBOX having framerate and input lagging issues regardless of the game.
IDK why these were placed in the cheats menu as they don't affect the gameplay in any capacity, but are these allowed to be enabled? The former just puts smart-aleck comments at the start of each level and changes menu sounds while the latter just puts a hat on a HUNT member.
I know it might be silly to ask these but I just want to make sure, just to be safe.
For clarification, for runs, must all of the Gameplay options in the options menu be disabled?

We're currently OK in regards to moderators of this game at this time. The game is barely run as is.
What would I need to set the console as for runs on this version of the game? I know it's based on the Amiga AGA version's code.
I am currently doing speed-vestigations and routing through the Macintosh version of the game. When I do complete a run and go to submit, will I need to submit as PC or will Mac be added as a platform?
This was discussed during my stream yesterday. Considering the RNG elements of the introductory Father Fouras cutscene, Albert suggested that we start the timer at the sounding of the gong. I'm personally OK with that as the shows actually start their own chronometers at that. Want to get everyone else's opinion on that. There may be the possibility that we could setup a autosplitter in regards, but someone with x86 disassembly knowledge would need to dig into that.
The hostage in the room with the Seth|Ostrich terminal in it, you talk to them through all of their default dialog boxes and they give you a bomb at the end.
There is not discord because I'm really the only one that plays the game actively as far as I know. you can reach me though by clicking the discord emblem in my profile to the left of this post.
Unfortunately I had to reject the run, but for various reasons that will become abundantly clear soon. The run itself is a good run, so don't be discouraged in that respect.
A tip (and I will make a resource .txt file for because that was a oversight in our regards :( ) - you can export the IL as a webm by saving the film (this would be for proof call) and then holding the ALT key while selecting "Replay Saved Film".
Also, and this is unfortunately a problem with this website, we intended the IL's to be IGT only. However, due to how sr.com is designed, if you have RTA in full game as the main time you also have it for IL's. You can find the In game timer in Resources.
But do not fret, just redo your attempt with IGT and we will definitely add it to the leaderboard.
I have also added the discord for the speedrun community on the sidebar as well if you would like to join that.
hello,
i am considering doing runs on the Classic MacOS version using my iMac G3 (just for the hell of it). two questions....
-
would a run performed on Macintosh be considered?
-
i am having to capture composite output using a camcorder to record the monitor (i unfortunately have a model that does not have VGA output. i do have a Powerbook G3 that does have VGA output, but i have a major ghosting problem with it's keyboard and i have to use a ball mouse). would that quality be considered as well? i can provide pictures of how it would look if needed.
I am currently working on doing an any% category where instead of just failing the treasure room, you have to win the boyars.
I noticed in the 100% category that all of the cutscenes were watched.
--> my current PB for that category:
there was a link on the main series forum, but here it is : https://discord.gg/GzpeUZ3
Currently atm, there are no guides, but we are trying to work on those atm. Both me and aperture basically went off of Cody Miller's 2-segment TC run. And most runners in general for the series have been watching other runners runs to learn the route. You might have better help in learning on the discord in tandem with the current runs available.
So this discord was originally just on my signature on the Pfhorums, but I felt I should probably post it here for new runners.
This is where most of the discussions on Pathways into Darkness, the Marathon Trilogy (and it's fan scenarios) and other retail Marathon Engine games (Damage Incorporated, Prime Target, ZPC, WHEELS) take place as of recent.
