@JulianManuelR This is how it would look like for adding a 2nd subcategory: https://s21.postimg.org/anyyn4qfb/asd.pngscreenshot

I prefer the look with only 1 subcategory but if most people like it then so be it :P

Me and StevenMayte are back to change the boards for the better.

This time we want to add subcategories for the different platforms. This makes it much easier to see what platforms there are, which platform that is selected and best of all you will have the correct rank on your profile on speedrun.com.

The platforms we want to implement are: PC, GC, PS, PSN, DC and N64.

With these platforms also comes another change that I think is for the best. PS and PSN.

PS: I dont see a good reason for having 3 different boards for 3 consoles (PS1-3) for the same game (RE2 Playstation disk). This change has already been done before with the GC and Wii consoles sharing the same board for the GC disk. The boards should be devided by the version of the game and not the consoles.

PSN: This version is digital and downloadable from the PSN store for PS3 and PSP. I think that the digital version should be seperetad from the disk version (which they kind of already are except for "PS3 Emulator"). So PS3 and PSP should share the same board cause they run the same version just like the consoles for PS disk version.

Runs will have to be deleted and readded, Me and StevenMayte will do this, just like when we changed the entire board from Level Leaderboard to Full-game Leaderboard. Nothing will be changed until Thursday.

Let us know what you think.

Funny, I said the same thing about RE2 when all hell broke loose on this board.

Can I say that? Kappa

It's different for every weapon. For the handgun you're pretty much forced to mash the aim key in order to quickshoot. With magnum you dont have to mash all the time. Shoot the first shot like normal and start mashing when Leon is about to go back to his original aim stance.

Not sure about the grenade launcher.

Just mash and try to get a few succesful quickshots in a row and you will see how long it takes between every shot. Thats the same amount of time you have to mash, hold, mash.

Your weapon will do its maximum damage if your closer to a boss. For G-Embryo you wanna run against the rail until a certain point. To close and he will be able to hit you, to far away and you wont get the 6 shot G-Embryo. If your quickshooting is on point then Leon will push away the smaller embryos by himself without taking any damage.

Example @28:50:

Edit: another place where new runners are wasting ALOT of time is on the doors. Try to skip them after the door handle has turned completely insteed of skipping it immediately. :)

Enemies generally have more health and deal more dmg in the US version compared with JP.

I think Furry would be able to handle this one.

Out of the question, if people wanna run the game faster with a 3rd party mod then they are welcome to do so. They wont however be able to use this board to post their runs. RE2 doesnt need anymore categories for free WRs.

link is in the video description on the youtube video.

That poll thou, First answer sounds very open minded and reasonable. The 2nd however is the direct opposite, wont listen to reason, hates everything and dissagree just because.

I think that the poll is very bias based. I cant help but think of that scene in south park where cartman is trying to convince Butters to vote for the turd sandwish insteed of the giant douche.

May I ask why the different platforms share the same board? Why just not keep Playstation, Xbox and PC seperate?

I'm not talking about changing the mainboard to IL but the variable for sort by platform is there and everything is already done.

It seems to me that alot of problems would be solved about PC vs Console if people would use this instead of comparing the platforms.

Only problem would be the ranking on a runners profile on SR.com

There is a varible to sort by platform, change it to the console you are playing on and there you go.

Biohazard is considered easier because of slightly different zombie and item placement. Resident Evil (PAL) the European version for consoles has the fastest IGT (compared with NTSC (US) and NTSC-J (JP)) but runs 17% slower in RTA.

Did a few cutscenes today:

Cutscene - No Patch - Patch - Difference

Marvin: 1:25.33 - 1:24.50 = 0.83s Anette Shot: 2:00.46 - 1:54.06 = 6.40s Anette Pipe: 1:23.50 - 1:22.61 = 0.89s Ada Dies: 1:29.80 - 1:29.40 = 0.40s

Difference is pretty big.

So I guess most of you have now heard about the new Cutscene skip mod for SourceNext 1.0. It's just a patcher you download to modify/patch your regular bio2.exe file so you will get the ability to speed up the cutscenes in the game with the map key. IGT speeds up with it so there doesnt seem to be any difference in time. So far I've only done 1 test at the Kendo cutscene.

Last couple of days I've been running the game with splits for every single door in the game to find out how low the SoB can go (currently at 48:45.02 for Leon A). So I will run the game tomorrow with the mod and see if I can get any new gold splits with it.

There are a few places in the game where the testings would be perfect to do. Take the Anette shot for example. You can have the first camera angle in the cutscene to start the timer and then the last camera angle to stop the timer. Then do 1 test without the mod and one with the mod.

If it turns out that the mod doesnt make any difference to IGT then I cant see any valid reason to reject it.

Add the WR splits as a comparison in "Edit Splits"

Then go to Layout settings -> Splits. Scroll down and you should find the +/- part. Check the box for showing colum for it, change the name to WR. Set it to compare against WR, game time and finally set both the WR and your PB to "Delta or Splittime".

Think I got it all, at work and I'm on my phone.

It will look like this: The splits under "2nd" was Jikkachan's splits who was 1 second ahead of me.

If you use the 4 plug route then you save 5 seconds from the G room, then you loose 3 seconds for dropping the knife in the item box + u need to discard the key of clubs which might even cost more then 2 seconds (using it on door in basement + the extra textbox for discarding it).

When I counted the frames for it I did many attempts to get the perfect execution in every room that matters for the route change, and 0,9 seconds time save was the best I could get with 4 plug route compared with 2+2 route.

Just be sure of the rules for submitting a run, I'd hate rejecting a sub 49:30 run that doesn't meet the criteria.

I'm speechless.

Could you link your 49:24 run or any other run u made with this route?

"You solve the shelf puzzle but leave the plug until u return with the cog" How does this save any time at all?

The route your talking about is the 4 plug route which is the oldest one and the one we used before 2+2 so it isn't anything new. I've counted the frames myself for the 2 routes and my estimate is that the 4plug route is only 0.9sec faster.

Those 5 seconds you were talking about, let me guess you got them for running back and forth in gembryo room right?

Original question has been answered and I see no reason for keep this thread open.

No Audio% wont be added to the current leaderboards and any submissions with it will be rejected. Audio has always been mandatory ever since the old wikia leaderboard, +5 years ago. That rule hasnt been displayed here because its common sense to have it. However I will add it to the current rules.

Case Closed.

@Supergamer57 If REmaster had that option then its up to the REmaster runners to decide.

I made up my mind about this now and I'm against it. Not all people have the regedit files like StevenMayte for example and he and Dchaps have tried hard to get them back without success.

So what would happen if we allowed it? Well let's say we did and everybody went back on RE2 for a couple of weeks. The leaderboard would probably be the same but just ~4min faster on each run and with NO SOUND. I can't see this being a good thing at all.

EDIT: if we allow it then we could add categories for it. The board will be dead within a month if even that.
