RussiaJust put segmented run into downtown any% then and add a comment that it is segmented, since it is possible anyway. Cause it just looks odd and probably that itself prevents even more people trying.
Isn't it time yet to bring that up again? Now that people are actuallly starting to show some interest in a game (it's not kruskader only who started running it) maybe we should split any% into "any%" and "any% no EE-glitch"? that would add competition on a different level without Molotok losing 1st place everywhere :v)
That is truly amasing, I'm most certanly going for that in marathon runs now. Since bus is just boring and was shown in downtown by that point. Thanks for that post!
Don't forget to submit just a chaser :v)
Wasn't main problem with Smartkin, and also Melis, that they were really young (only turned 18, or something, I believe Smartkin is not 18 still, so probably yeah)? I don't remember and of my friends having trouble with going to random city.
But yeah, it's cool to know, that you can help with invitation, Edenal! Will surely use that if needed.
This is pretty much same thread as the Copenhagen one. I know most people will be going through Copenhagen since it is cheaper/easier for them, yet if there is someone who goes through Stockholm, we'd like to know :D
Arriving 21st 11am local time, staying there for day, train to Vaxjo on 22nd somewhere aroung 5-6 pm, I guess.
The thing is - I kinda want to make ImFuryPro runs stay, but calling category segmented just doesn't seem to be good, I might just end up putting it into misc in the end, cause I've been thinking and it doesn't fit into actual good ILRush ruleset.
We'll see, so far, I think, I'll put his runs into misc as Segmented, then we will figure something out.
When I came up with idea for "IL Rush" I was considering any segmented stuff goes there, but it might be a bad name then, yet naming a category for a Segmented game "Segmneted" also seems like a bad option, I'm just stuck here with these thoughts :D
There are some nifty OOB things, you can check Segmented Hard run, it shows a lot of them at the end, yet only 2 are useful so far.
Can I get a mod for Bloodrayne? http://www.speedrun.com/BloodRayne The only mod doesn't seem to run anything, also doesn't seem active to me.
I was thinking that DraQu might be a good mod for d3, since he picked it up not long time ago and was streaming for quite some time
So I was thinking of the best way to define segmented runs, also was thinking of overall quality of LBs and found a perfect solution for it, which, after lotsa thinking, seems to make a lot of sense.
Since speedrun.com kinda supports subcategories (I once said that it doesn't but apparently something like this http://www.speedrun.com/sms#Any1 exists) - all difficulty levels will be put on a lower level as subcategories and top categories will look like any%, any% coop and ILRush. And if I have to donate something for that - I probably will, unless the price is obnoxious (I have no idea how to actually create subcategories right now).
Now to topcategories: Any% is still same thing, you have to record your FULL run of a game from start to end, all loadings/saves must be included, if your game dies and you decide to continue - you include that in a VoD and it counts towords final time (not gonna really go through rules now, since everyone but ImFuryPro suits them).
Coop stays same - the only thing that gets changed - amount of players goes as a variable.
Now to ILRush - that's something I was really considering for a long time as of how to better name it or pull it off. So first - name "ILRush" basically goes from the fact that in every stage you get a certain ammo/weapon/health pool which you start with, and I could basically just name any% like that, but then the rule of "run must be recorded from the beginning to end" sounds arbitrary as hell.
So this is basically a segmented category where you do all ILs as fast as you can with no restrictions - so it is, technically a faster category than any%, but it is not named any% because you can split your run and complete parts at a different time - (do ILs and submit IL compilation).
I do remember that we have a IL leaderboards, but this is mostly done because of ImFuryPro, whose runs are segmented. I haven't though of any reason why someone else would do a segmented run of IL based game, though I though it is pretty reasonable to make an IL compilation, to not make people go through every single of small VoDs (which you probably still would have).
So basically that means that your "ILRush" is basically your compilation of all ILs, but WITHOUT a restriction that a every single IL must be a full recording (which is the case for ILs). So it is kinda misc, and it will be in misc, but it sounds reasonable, it fits game.
Gonna leave that post for a time being - share your thoughts if you care. I will try to respond to any idea you have.
I am pretty sure that most of people check some things in runs and not watch the entirety of it. That's what makes verification process faster and better comparing to SDA. Sometimes a run is lying there for weeks without verification. I normally don't touch stuff I have no idea about (or don't care much) - as doom 3 speedrun for me - and I just briefly check if it looks fine (after that long awaiting time). There is just no dedicated mod for Doom 3, but there are global doom mods.
For big communities I don't think that is a problem at all - there is always someone on stream for WR holders and such, who can afterwards prove that run is legit. As for non-WR holders - they might not even care, if it is some 60 place on leaderboard - it doesn't matter if he segmented this run or not. And last thing - stream is much easier to check/trust, unlike YT vods or other things. That's why timer often is a requirement, so that you can check, that run is not segmented. Of cource you can bypass that by doing another video of your run but now with timer - if some really wants to tryhard for fake WR - I pity him. I'm normally trustful to people and if they neglect it - then I stop that trust for a very long time. It really is just a matter of trust tbh. If someone is new to a thing and tries to be smartass - once truth is revealed he is gonna have a hard time pulling something like that again.
Yeah it's sort of situation, which noone expected tbh. I normally go through runs a bit more closely if they are YT only with no splits or voice over the video. But looking through entire run - I most of time can't afford something like that. Also normally when person provides a lot of stats I suppose it is correct. But with ImFuryPro it was just wrond understanding of Single-Segment thing, which turned into mess. There is noone to blame, really, neither those who showed him this website, nor him for understanding it wrong.
yeah, I've been searching for alternatives such as couchsurfing or flat for 1 day, just thought that if someone is living there and might be willing to help then it would've been amasing :)
Guys, I have a question, does anyone of you live in Copenhagen, or has a place to stop for 1 day/night? I'm going with my gf and we want to look around Copenhagen, so we want to stay there for one day, but hotel is a bit expensive alternative for us at this moment, can someone let us stay for 1 night, we can help with housework/cooking in the evening. We estimate to arrive on 22nd, leave to Vaxjo on 23rd.
If you cut something from your final video - it's segmented. That's how it is even on SDA, single-segment is game beaten without using loadings, not video that looks like one game. If you go for RTA you include all loadings and count them towards your final time.
Segmented != single segment, YET Segmented != RTA. Segmented is simply a run that is recorded at different times and then video is edited to look like one - that's segmented. Dying and loading during one run kills the fact of Single Segment (for some games it is not true though), but here we don't care if it is single segment or RTA. We care that it is not Segmented, which is different. My YaE run is not Single-Segment, yet it is done in Real-Time and all fails count towords final time.
Also if you read main doom thread here on forum - it says that this all created to show RTA competition aspects. If more segmented runners appear, we might consider adding that as a category, but normally you just submit that to SDA, cause they are not leaderbords - just WR tracker (and very outdated, because of how slow they process runs). SO they will simply write something like "WR by X in XX:XX:XX done in X segments". Yet if you say that your run is not segmented they will write something like "WR by X in XX:XX:XX" and will change it to "done in X segments" if they will figure that it is segmented or even reject (such cases had place and runner had to resubmit his run with proper information).
Yet I might agree that just deleting instead of creating misc category and placing his run there was a bit harsh. Yet that's just because I had enough salt with that "Single-Segment" bad SDA definition.
