Friesland, NetherlandsDesert segment begins when desert is unlocked (YKBB), and ends when the LV safehouses become purchaseable (phonecall after flight school). Badlands segment works the same way (area unlocked after TGS, safehouses unlocked after AYGTSF). Minor changes have been made to the definition though (such as not requiring the phone call, just flight school, and allowing a save after YKBB) to make it a bit more manageable.
People wanted city segments, they were given city segments. Yes, it comes with all these issues. Indeed, I was not giving a counter point. That was not my intention. Unsure what the rules say exactly currently, but NOE and post should fall under LV segment. If not, then I agree that that is an issue that needs addressing. However, I was under the impression that the issue discussed here was 'segment runs dont reflect any%' runs, which is an issue inherent to segment runs and EBen has already addressed this.
So you agree that in their current state, they are completely meaningless. Great. Why keep them around, then?
Guess I might as well address this before I post: While your jump to conclusions was illogical like EBen pointed out, it so happens to be that your conclusion is accurate. I do think they are meaningless, hence them being on these boards and not the main. Why keep them around? Because there's serious demand for them. I avoided the use of the word 'completely' before 'meaningless' though. Of course there's some merit to them, but not enough for them to be taken super serious.
Tl;dr: That's fine, not much of substance in this post anyway. Just speaking my mind.
"categories dont even actually mirror any%"
all the more reason to not even take them this serious
A stands for Annual, which this thread is.
Therefore, A
Yes Frew, scripts like that are totally fine by me.
Since when? I remember deleting categories for games once and runs continued to exist
I dont read these forums. Contact me personally if I need to perform mod duties
Gotta use features properly. A sub category is overkill. Those labels were made for a reason though, and this is exactly it. Use them
Can the iFruit column not just be made to default only show runs that don't use it? That's what that feature is there for on the site, to filter out runs with certain properties.
I fail to understand why people, instead of bitchering about shit, don't just use the features the site already provides.
You raise a fair point. I however, will continue to use the app in future runs should I ever do them (I do plan on it). I don't see why we shouldn't use the column for it if it's there already anyway.
I missed this. Is there still demand for this? If yes, I will add the default prisons.

I have noticed some activity recently, and I can't be bothered to keep up with SRR's horrible forums, but it is also unreasonable of me to expect people to contact me or Fish personally if they want categories added or have rules discussion or whatever.
So here's a middle ground option, a public Discord server: For all to join. It'll probably be dead most of the time but I will actually get notified if something does go on so that when someone asks for escape mode times or something, the mod staff will actually see.
Also for strat discussion/whatever

My run does use it, I would like to continue having a chance to improve my PB in the future.
It being allowed doesn't mean people have to use it. As is evident, people can go just fine without. And the column to label it works just fine. If people can't be bothered to change it to No then well not our fault that they'll now be competing with faster strats is it?
As far as server outages go, it's just another form of RNG/luck. It's the price you pay for using extra tech, same as with implementing any new strategy, those also don't succeed 100% of the time.
As far as getting banned from GTAO - that's your own dumb fault. If you buy a disc and then accidentally toss it in the blender, why should we care? Sure, it's a mistake that has nothing to do with the game itself, but so does having to take a piss break in the middle of a run. Suck up the timeloss if you can't prepare for your run well.
S Keys displays whatever is pressed after AHK has taken effect. I remember spacebar spam for DWAHMOV showing up as really flashy.
That said, I'm not opposed to anything that prevents WASD cheats, as long as they prevent the specific driving lines done by those keys as well.
- Rules: Same as Any% with a note on the bottom saying "Any glitch that affects the onmission flag is forbidden. This includes mission duplication."
What about glitches that occur without the player having manipulated the game to do so? Stuff that happens accidentally like G4L.
I still think that a SMART goal should be compiled to determine when the category is worthy of being main leaderboards material. When I look at the meme boards for it, there's a fair amount of runs. Like 11? Half of which seem to be from the most recent months.
I look on Twitch and I see regular streams of no dupe any%. The category clearly has backing, but when is it enough?
Be SMART
It's not just popularity that determines whether a run should be added, there are other factors of course. This is why collectible runs are present.
It is precisely because of these other factors that any% no dupes isn't on the main boards. It is a run very similar to an already existing and more popular run, but with a somewhat arbitrary restriction imposed on it. Something which doesn't apply to collectible runs, as they have a clearly defined end goal with no restrictions on HOW to do it and are in no way similar to other categories, even ones like 100%. (with maybe an exception for USJs).
It is for this very reason that 'it needs to be popular' becomes a requirement. Because the category lacks in all the other departments, it needs to make up for it somewhere else: Popularity being the most obvious choice.
Personally, I think any% is a shit category regardless of whether you dupe or not. If it was up to me, I'd move true any% to the fucking memeboards as well. Fortunately, we have mods that don't let feelings get in the way of rational thinking, and thus true any% is on the main boards and any% with a few restrictions is not.
The only real question I have is: When is a run popular enough? Maybe we could set up a SMART goal so that people who want this have something to work towards and everyone knows what's up?
WASD for moving Shift for sprint, Space for jump (like literally every other game does it) Shift for horn, Space for handbrake 2 for submission Q, E & MMB for looking in directions F for enter exit Tab for phonecall action
B for leaning forward, N for leaning back on bike (and the equivalents for planes/helis/flying cars) X and C for forklift/dozer/dumper controls etc (also hydra thrusters, but I use default Num 8 and Num 2 for hydra as I need my left Thumb on B + N Numpad 4 Special Control Right Numpad 6 Special Control Left (No, I didn't mix these up)
Fire: LMB Alt Fire: RMB I have these bound to keyboards keys as well, but dont recall using them in recent years.
Change camera: V Change radio: R / mousewheel Change UTP Song: F5
Y and N for talking and trip skipping etc
G and H for gang controls (holding H disbands the group)
Mwheel for Camera and sniper zoom
Lalt for walk, C for crouch
RMB for aim
