I promise you Magnum% is a hell of alot more fun then a bunch of resets.

Edit: And you can still submit it to Any%. With the WR being so low + the 1min ish time difference + good RNG you would be able to beat your current Any% run.

What I was trying to say is that getting the magnum is not that big of a deal since most people would be able to beat there GL PB

Most people wont come close to 1min behind WR and since RE3 has alot of RNG that will either improve or decrease your pace plus the time difference between GL and Magnum then runners should just learn the magnum route and forget about resetting.

No forget about the GL for a moment.

If you complete a run with Magnum Only then you are allowed to submit it to Any% and Magnum Route%. This is what makes it BS.

Magnum Route category is bs anyway cause you could theoretically have 2 WR's or just 2 PB's with the same run lol.

@TheWendiGo3 the definition is not about runner vs runner lol its about the runner vs the game itself. You dont need 2 people in order to speedrun.

Everything that can be done with the game alone is allowed in a speedrun. DIC is set in the games own settings and QS is within the game.

Speedrunning is defined as "beating a game as fast as possible by any means except cheating" (the cheating part is usualy not included in the definition cause its obvious), Cheating is defined as "manipulating something to your own advange by removing either skill and/or luck".

So by definition anyone who would use this is cheating and it would classify as a TAS.

I gotta say, I never expected a thread would be made for this. I was expecting it would be exactly the same as when the china version was added so good job this time.

I completly understand why people would like to use this program and I agree that it can be extremely frustrating when you're on god pace and that the run could then die to a magnum. This is the reason why the Magnum% category was added in the first place. However thats how the game was made and thats how it should be ran/played.

@TheWendiGo3 I wrote a mail to them both in english and chinese, no reply

The versions has their differences and that's why you go for the fastest version if you wanna speedrun.

I prefer the sound of "world record" compared with "region record".

Skip the doors after 2.8 seconds (when the doorhandle is rotating).

I updated the scripts yesterday. Download it, and if you're at 1.1 then change the name of the exe to "Bio2 V1.1"

Problem was that the adress for old-room was wrong for 1.1. Should be: byte old_room : "bio2 v1.1.exe", 0x58EB1A;

Does your script look like this for the first two doors?

if(cur_segname == "0") { return current.room_ID == 1 && current.stage_ID == 0; } else if(cur_segname == "1") { return current.room_ID == 2 && current.stage_ID == 0 && current.old_room == 1; }

@allancg: Filter is mostly useless for anything on SRC. The only thing that really matters is the rankings on your own profile and filters wont help you there. :/

I agree that the version everybody should be running has to be a version that can be easily obtainable and legal. When RE3 China got added to the leaderboard without a discussion then Japan really took it in the ass and wasn't able to compete anymore.

I'm still for a ban of China cause it was added for stupid reasons (which is why we banned RE2 china as soon as we could), however since I know that wont happen I'm sure the current RE3 mods wont have a problem by seperating the regions seeing that this is their fault and I hope that they want Japan to be able to compete on PC. Personally I'm against seperation between regions but there arent that many options to choose from.

RE3 mods: This is were you get to make things right.

Try the first video with another mounting program, I use Daemon Tools.

Pyman found this glitch 2 years ago :P

Like Kasu says if you press the key on the same frame as the cutscene starts then you will be able to move around during the cutscene.

I couldnt find anywhere else you could use this. Except for the Turn-skip I found in the basket ball court. works the same

NTSC-J also have less aggressive zombies and different enemy/item locations. Havn't played the NTSC/PAL version for a long time so I cant remember if the bosses are any different.

Best way of finding out would be to grind the game on GC/PS Emu with all doors splits and check the difference in SoB.

so when will you migrate the mercenaries runs to the lvl leaderboard? WutFace

Can confirm that the walking shoes increases your crouching speed

I can confirm that Marguerite falls down by herself into the pit after quite some time.
