You are allowed to pause the game, but the timer has to keep running during that pause.
1.0 or 1.01 are the best versions because they support duping the best
This has been brought up time and time again, and the consensus has always been to not add them to the main leaderboard because they're just parts of existing categories and some don't even start from new game. There's multiple threads about this on the SA forums so if you wish to see the reasoning behind not adding them to the main board feel free to do that.
I'm fine with such a vote being made in that format. I'll bring it up with others.
As for "seeing as hoxi just liked a shitpost instead of removing it from someone who has nothing better to do than spread cancer all day.", me liking it was a bad move, I admit, but I can't remove it because only super mods can remove posts. Why? I have no clue.
Requiring videos from only top runners is an incredibly awful idea, I heavily doubt anyone would agree to implement it.
Yes. For any further questions like that refer to this thread: https://www.speedrun.com/gtasa/thread/ar4sg
LiveSplit has a built in autosplitter that you can enable by going into the "Edit Splits" dialog box and then pressing the "Activate" button.
Then you can press "Settings" and set up which mission you want to split on by checking the box near the mission's name.
Who cares if he removed it, if he wants it up now, what's wrong with that? lelreset removed all his runs before, and now they're back up, and no one's complaining. Just because you have a personal conflict with him doesn't mean the accuracy of the leaderboard should suffer. That's incredibly selfish & childish.
The "previous world records will never be beaten" reasoning for the FPS cap is an absolutely awful way of thinking, considering how long the runs are and how much RNG is involved. And why was this brought up now, when Toriks has beaten Viper's PB, and not before? And why is everyone talking about speedrunning being a show of skill and not who has a bigger wallet, when the HDD vs SDD loads are still a thing?
The whole reasoning behind this rule is incredibly flawed.
Timing
Cutscene skip is a good start for it.
AM
Pretty much what thriving said.
WR rules
I'd personally keep it like it is, but if others want some other solution, so be it.
Runs with no vids
I fixed all the runs with missing vids that I could, so I'm fine with the rest being removed if a vid for them doesn't surface.
Recently, the legitimacy of FLYING's runs have been questioned, and after further investigation his runs have been found to be illegitimate. It's unknown if it was intentional or not, as some problems appear only in one stream (see first comparison) while others are consistent throughout his runs (comparisons 2 and 3).
For anyone wanting proof, here's some comparison videos made by Powdinet:
As a result of this discovery, all of his runs on both the SA board and the Category Extensions have been removed.
The situation hasn't changed since Frew's last post as far as I know, sadly.
