RussiaDo 4 walls across the middle of the guide house instead of platforms, and put the NPC move-in icon on those walls, otherwise it won't work in multiplayer.
If you did it right the first time around, might've been sub 20 :(
This was already attempted internally on the discord server, people tend to stop caring after a few days.
I like the idea of a separate 3DS leaderboard, but unfortunately there's not much motivation at the moment from the current moderators of this leaderboard, myself included, in creating it. Part of the reason for me is that I know nothing about that version of the game, how one would go about recording the footage from that device, and if emulation is a consideration or not.
If someone has more knowledge about the points I mentioned above, and would be willing to put in the work to set up the leaderboard, by all means, go for it. You could use the existing leaderboards and their rules as a baseline, and I could provide some help with run verification (once rules are defined of course). It is pretty common practice for a third person to set up new leaderboards for a different version or game in a given franchise, as long as they've asked the maintainers of existing leaderboards to do it first. You can reference this thread in the application for creating the leaderboard to prove just that.
For one, the optimal way to do mechanical bosses with the fewest items is to get all their summons dropped randomly instead of crafting them, which makes it very unpleasant to run.
Actually "all chairs" existed as a category for a moment. And there is a run: No one else ran it so it's been removed.
By more easy to track, do you mean easier to find Terraria leaderboard on speedrun com? That may be true.
But it was a conscious decision to stop listing platforms, because if you do, that automatically creates a variable that will appear next to each run. There have been like 5, if not less, submissions in the past half a year that weren't on PC, and they were all on Android. So on most categories, including the front page category, you would just see a variable saying "Platform: PC, PC, PC" on every single one of the runs. That's just bloat. And the only way to avoid it is to not track platforms on the leaderboard. That's SRC for you. In the rules it does say that you can use platforms other than PC.
All Achievements is now on category extensions: https://www.speedrun.com/terraria_extensions#All_Achievements Make sure to check the rules. Let me know if you have more questions.
Given that there is an achievement for 200 fishing quests, I think this can safely be considered a meme category, and no more. I know of one completion on journey mode and it's around 10 hours long.
The problem, I believe, is that the a normal Scal run within the current meta already kills very close to the minimum amount of bosses.
Actually, scrap what I said above. I just realised that the leaderboard doesn't Have to specify a platform, so I unchecked PC. Other platforms are now formally accepted, as long as you're running a version equivalent of PC 1.3.5.3 or newer.
I realise that you want an option under 'platform' for other platforms than PC, not a separate category. The reason we're not doing that is that having more than one platform option automatically creates a variable (and SR.C gives no option to hide it), so when viewing the leaderboard on desktop, you would see a "Platform" variable alongside "Difficulty" and "Exact patch", which is extra unwarranted clutter. As of now, submitting non-PC runs despite the "Platform" specifying PC, is allowed, as long as you submit to the corresponding version category (1.4 or 1.3)
I think I know what you're talking about. In 1.4 you can craft 'Ancient Hallowed Armor' on demon altars, without a hardmode anvil. It's the equivalent of hallowed armor, but with the old sprites.
Almost all of the categories currently on the leaderboard are for Calamity mod. You can read more specifically if you click on any category, then on 'Read Rules'.
We may accept requests for new categories with other mods if someone has done a run of it, but that's not really implemented very well atm.
Right now, if you try to view the leaderboard, you will only see runs with the variable 'Orange Stim Used: No'. To see runs that were done before this variable was added, you have to go into Filters and select 'Orange Stim Used: Any (any option)'. To fix this, a mod just need to find that variable and uncheck 'No' as the default option. Make it so there is no default option. This doesn't change anything in the submission process, but then runs will show up regardless of what the variable says.
For some categories here I took out the option to submit co-op runs, as it wouldn't make much sense (like Torch God). And NG+ is currently one of those categories, but if it's seen as a category that would be fun to run co-op on, I'll reconsider and add that option back. The way I see it is that most of the run is spent waiting 1 minute for Moon Lord to spawn, and unless you get really lucky, also looking for plantera bulb; having more players would only help with the latter, as any other difference from solo would just be so miniscule.
Not enough demand to make a specific category. If your console version is the equivalent of Desktop 1.3.5, you can submit runs under 1.3.5.
As far as I can tell from wiki, PS3 has a version equivalent to desktop 1.2.4.1, and we don't have a category for versions this early now :( You can still run for fun if you want :)
