AustraliaI was thinking of doing a run for every killrun level in one go, so all 4 map packs in a row, would probably take about 22 minutes. Curious if anyone thinks it would be a good idea to add this to the boards? Could probably be done for the jumper maps too for consistency.
I don't follow the game anymore, and don't know if the devs plan to add more map packs in the future, but if so that could obsolete any categories like this, and might make them a bad idea.
This post should probably have been made earlier, but recently the rules were changed to not allow fps above 250, and along with this an fps counter must always be visible to prove this. It was done to improve fairness among runners since high fps would speed up slow motion sequences, effectively making certain parts of the game pay to win. Any old runs breaking this rule were re-timed.
So yeah, hopefully everyone (on pc) is now aware that they need a frame counter up for the duration of any runs they submit.
I don't want to start any drama by listing real names so I'll just refer to them as runner #1 and runner #2.
So runner #1 gets wr in a game, runner #2 thinks he sees an issue with the gameplay and reports him, this results in a site ban for runner #1. The issue being that this was a false accusation (to my knowledge) fueled by runner #2s desire to hold wr on this game, and not backed by any real evidence. (The claim is that the games are not running at the same speed while both of them are playing on different n64 emulators, and personally the footage looks completely identical.)
Seemingly support tickets are being ignored, runner #2 has a much larger fanbase so opinions tend to default be on their side. Runner #1s friends came asking for help and I believe their story but I'm not really sure what to do about it.
So there are a couple twitch extensions out there that grab info from your src profile and display it on your twitch page, but they seem to run into constant errors for me or anyone I ask for help with the issue. Yet I have seen other streamers have these functional for a long time now. So do they not work anymore, or am I doing something wrong? I really have no idea.
These are the two extensions I am talking about, the lower one seems completely incapable of fetching data for any src profile I give it, and the top one can fetch that data, but when I click the save button it just says an unexpected error occured.
In order to try and make competition on this game as fair as possible we have made a few rule changes, the main one being maximum allowed frame rate of 250fps. This also comes with the caveat that pc runners will now need to display their frame rate using the console command "cg_drawfps 1" which will show it in the top right corner of the game. This applies to individual levels as well.
All high ranking runs gaining an advantage from high frame rates have been re-timed as if they were ran at the cap of 250.
Somewhat related to this, game over as an IL is going to be removed because it is entirely autoscroller, and only affected by differing fps values.
FOV limits have also been set, no higher than 120 and no lower than 50.
If you want to individualize your run with custom skins, then altering the glove & shirt skins are fine, but nothing else.
So it seems that an update to the game recently broke the asl connected with livesplit, but there is one here that should work: https://www.dropbox.com/s/p2drvbqqttwkgw0/mw2rnew.asl?dl=0
If for some reason you run into issues with that, there is a simple load remover that you can try here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/3krfj48yq1y3bsx/mw2r.asl?dl=0
Any runs done on pc should be timed with these.
I guess this is basically a petition to change the IL timing from the mess that it currently is, to timing from one load till the next, like is done in full runs.
Kinda curious what peoples opinions are on this, how many are in favor of this being a thing? The only real downside imo is the amount of re-timing effort required.
Due to repeated instances of cheating, the moderators have decided to implement a blacklist. They reserve the right to blacklist specific players who have intentionally violated the rules several times (cheating and other exploitation). They will inform you when you become one of these users, and you will receive warnings for this. They are not obligated to inform the public as to who is on the list, only the person themselves will be contacted about it. If you are added to this list, your runs will be pulled from all leaderboards.
