Update.
Load times are not very consistent between systems, used times on the leaderboard for testing. Times varied from 3.900 seconds - 6 seconds.
Without getting too technical, it seems making an autosplitter for this game that would manually remove loading times isn't an option. Due to the way this game was programed, every time you are in a cinematic the game considers that a "load" and not just the standard loading screen we see when transitioning between areas. Cutscenes are the same length for everyone, so there is no reason to remove them or for me to manually go through every run and retime all of them to fit with this if I did decide to make this the standard. Finding another value is a no go, they all come back false
I would need to manually remove the actual load screens every time I verify someone's run, which is just too much for me to do right now, especially since I am I moderator 2 of the most popular games on speedrun.com right now (Which, is why it sometimes can take me a bit to get to your run). I can look into an autosplitter again at another time.
Public reminder to everyone that submissions are open until February 5th at midnight! It's not too late to send in submissions!
Hey all. Times are becoming very close to each other and potentially getting faster loads than someone else could ruin the competition.
Since times are becoming very close to one another, I believe it is necessary to take the load between the first and second area of the game into consideration, someone who has a faster and better computer may (and likely will) get a faster load than someone who has a worse computer.
I will do some testing to figure out how consistent the loads are between systems, if they are very different I believe we should make this leaderboards standard use time without loads.
Feel free to leave your own opinions in this thread
If the game isn't on the website, you request the game here: https://www.speedrun.com/requestgame?series=
If the game is on the website you need to talk to the game moderators
There's alot of glitches you can do with doors, you'll have to be more specific
Maybe this will save 1 or 2 seconds since you won't have to wait for the barrel to roll by
I will again, eventually. I am still around to approve runs and make changes to the board if needed. Shoot me a DM on the site if you want anything to be changed. (As I am not notified when someone make a forum post)
The rules were also updated to reflect v1.0.2 being the standard if you click on game rules
I would like to formally request the removal of JaidenAnimations from Cooking Mama 2: Dinner with friends. She's left the community Discord today and was only added because of the viral video as she was the first runner. She also hasn't verified a single run and hasn't been online since the week the video was uploaded. Its hard to contact her due to her following size.
All the other moderators are supportive of this decision
Thank you
