ValhallaGenerally, youtube is not needed. The requirements (for 99% of people) tend to be: -Permanently available -Can watch without signing up for something (like how you can watch YT without signing up for an account) -Everything in the video is clearly visible
Maybe try resubmitting it and tell the mod if he wants YT to be a requirement that he should specify it in the rules and then maybe link this thread or the site rules. But your 4 hour upload time on youtube is also likely not an issue with youtube itself, your connection was probably pretty bad at the time. Upload times on youtube are pretty much always faster than vimeo from my experience, but you need to leave the tab open while uploading and processing.
There aren't that many exploits that can screw over your entire PC without you downloading something yourself. Generally if a runner makes you download something or sign up to a website to watch, reject the run and tell them it must be publicly visible without a signup/download without ever downloading it.
Generally the reason people use a timer is so they know what their own time is (to know when to actaully submit their run). Streaming is never required for running, you can 100% record it privately, and I also recommend youtube for hosting runs (and if you don't want many people tos ee them you can have them as unlisted youtube videos). Generally the requirements are specified on the leaderboard, but most boards require at least video with audio as a preference (and if you're gonna record with your phone or something, make sure the screen glare isn't too bad).
If you're new to speedrunning, welcome! And here's some FAQs that might help you: https://www.speedrun.com/speedrunning/thread/pt010
@LunchBox1211 just upload that mp4 to youtube. You can make an account in seconds and upload for free. You can upload it unlisted so it can only be viewed with a link, but considering everyone needs to see your run for it to be valid, I'm not sure what the point would be.
Mod farming can often be nice for some games though weirdly enough from my experience.
When you exit the program it should ask you to save, did you hit no when that happened?
Probably the worst week I've ever experienced, I got a lot going on rn.
They made him a mod in under 24 hours, elo support is working fast today.
@NalgasofDoom it's pretty well known that ground pounds have jank hitboxes. The normal way to kill any whomp in the game does pretty much the exact same thing you do here except they clip through a whomp instead of a chain chomp. I can't explain to you exactly why this happens (as I know very little about mario 64 mechanics), but the people on the sm64 boards definitely can.
Not to be an ass, but what can src support do here? you're gonna need some REAL concrete proof that these are people from the cod community. It is very easy to make alts (as @MrRacingmonsterFANS likely is) and impersonate other people are throw around random accusations. As someone who is uneducated on the situation, there is nowhere near enough to tell me exactly who is behind anything and what exactly is going on. It would make no sense to take any action here since there's literally 0 proof of anything other than racingmonster clearly being in a tough situation in real life right now (best wishes to him, hope he figures stuff out), and randomly banning people or whatever you want the people at elo to do would literally not help at all, especially if your main concern is stopping troll comments on youtube. If there comments are affecting racingmonster so much, youtube allows people to disable comment or block certain comments pretty easily, so if this was actually an issue on his end, he doesn't seem to be taking it too seriously. Either way what I said earlier still stands and I hope racingmonster gets a chance to read it.
@SioN isn't it kinda hypocritical to post on this thread saying 'stop posting it's killing me'?
@DrYoshiyahu I'm pretty sure @Solderq35 is right here. Check out section 21 of the FAQs thread if you don't understand his explanation. You can do that by clicking here!
Genuinely curious, why not just recording the screen with your ipad instead of a capture card? If you set up up right on a stand it can look almost better than capture cards sometimes. But if you just really want to use a capture card (as someone who uses them a bunch and prefers them over video), I can recommend a few good capture cards, but I can't really tell you how you'd connect them to an iPad without a lot of work/adapters.
Something you might be able to do is somehow hook up your iPad to a PC display and basically use a capture card hooked up to a PC to then go to your iPad with bluetooth or something and record that, there's probably some software for that (not that'd I'd know of any).
Another thing is, have you tried to connect your PC to a hotspot on your iPad? I know that makes it a bit slower, but it might be fast enough depending on what you want to do.
As for the audio stuttering in streams, do you mean that it keeps losing and then gaining connection a bunch? or is the audio itself just stuttering? That could be an issue w/ OBS settings if it's not a loss in connection. You could also try lowering your bitrate, but there's kind of a limit to that to the point where it becomes unwatchable.
I'll try to check back on this thread to offer whatever help I can as soon as I can, or if you want to add me on discord or something and try to figure it out there, feel free.
Video and Audio Proof Threshold: 1:05:00
Capture Card Threshold: 55:00
^I can understand requiring video and audio proof, but why is there a need for capture cards at 55:00? What could that showcase that someone recording their whole TV + setup cannot (assuming they somehow get a solid quality recording of their setup). I don't plan on running this game rn, but I'm just curious as this was brought up in the talk forums.
