Not allowed for Marathon Mode only. So long as it replays properly in IL's it's fine. We're going to be making a ruling on it soon but for many reasons we just don't have a satisfying "fix" to adding these sorts of cosmetics, unfortunately

@Almulescent Wdym what is stopping us? Runners of the category lmao. When we add stuff generally there's some sort of demand by a few runners and then we will talk amongst it how said board should be added. There's no real reason to just add something based on zero runs and zero attention for it to just sit there :P

Hi @LoginJokeson,

Again, it's good to see your enthusiasm, however we don't accept board requests via the SRC forums. We gauge interest in the community via what the community says in the active discord server and try and make sure it's a good addition to the series by adding it, otherwise you would not believe how many empty boards would exist now!

Hi @LoginJokeson,

Thanks for your hype around the game, always love to see it. To be honest a lot of our vetting for new boards comes from our discord as we try and add mod packs that are taken by the community to avoid them being empty which has happened a few times. If you keep doing some runs that'll certainly up the likelihood of such a board existing, but we'd likely need more active runners of the pack to seriously consider it at this point

@Blazing_Dragon We could add something like this however generally we need a few runners of the categories to really justify adding them. If you and some folks who run it can show you have runs of it either here or in our Discord server we can look into it :)

@el3ctr0h3ll Hello, you cannot use the input viewer mod for full game runs. And also colour palettes using the in game settings is fine but if you mean by a certain mod or something you'd had to confirm it with mods in the discord (as that is the easiest place to contact and see messages) to see it's all fine

Hello. What is this?

Hi @SmashCrafter321,

From what we can see, there has only been 3 runs of old Espio, these have been changed with the dropdown version "Legacy", and future versions will just run "current". The general consensus to boards is to attempt to run with the most up to date version as possible, this is to make it highly available to as many runners as possible and also respect the original creators.

Hope that helps. Sadly there's no easy fix and monitoring to this kind of thing since there is a sort of endless amount of mods out there.

Hello.

Before I made a tutorial on how to submit a run for a character that was not on the board, since Speedrun.com's recent changes this is no longer possible, please follow these steps to get new characters added to the board:

1. Click Submit run
2. Enter category as usual
3. Keep character as "Dropdown for characters"
4. Enter time as usual, if you're submitting an Individual Level speedrun then only use the In-Game time field
5. For video if your run is RTA then please provide a link to this and ensure the run is done in Marathon Mode with In-Game time selected. If you cannot do this you need the custom game data found here
6. If your mod is an older version of a mod please select "Legacy" under the mod version, otherwise keep this the same
7. If your run is an individual level then please provide the link to your .lmp replay file, if you cannot get into Record Attack because the game is saying that it is modified then revert to step 5
8. Regardless of what run it is, submit the master board link to your character and the version (if it is an older version).
9. Click submit :)

Hopefully that helps, ideally you'd just add the character yourself but that has been changed for the worst :C

@VyPr can't. Whenever we change ANYTHING to do with the variable we get that error message. It's impossible to even attempt to rectify tbh

I noticed there was a bug fix recently however this issue is still persisting and still had no response from my bug reports. Is it possible to look into this at all or even acknowledge that this'll be looked into at all?

Hello,

I'm a moderator for the SRB2 games, and one of these includes our infinitely expandable "Category Extensions" leaderboard, where users can submit runs under "User Defined" and add to the list of names. This worked well until recent changes, now it seems that users cannot submit like this, but this isn't our only issue.

We CANNOT change the boards. Under "Variables" if we wish to add, remove, or reorder the list of characters, we get this error. Not sure what's prompting it, but it stops us even changing the variable from a "sub category" (what it should be but seems that user defined submissions were removed from here) to an annotation which may fix our prior issue but for that we don't know.

I reported 2 bug reports of this, it got "Approved", whatever that means in this scenario, I still get this issue, I've not been messaged regarding it. I posted to the Supporter forums and got no answers so I'm coming here. Not sure why our boards can no longer be maintained but obviously it's not great for us for it to be malfunctioning this way so hopefully someone can respond.

Thanks,

K

Update This situation was resolved. Thankfully a site mod helped me out, we had a name simply called "-" removing the quotation marks, it worked before for the way we had our board set up before but nowadays if you have a variable like that one then it'll return this error. Thank you to Meta in getting this solved.

If there are no archives of the character online then you may need to DM the original creator and ask if there are any archives due to this error (or ask they change the character to work as intended here). If not and someone approaches us with the file then we can host the file on this site for access and I'll let you know it's there but for now I don't know anyone who has that version of Maimy.

I have looked into this and decided to apply the filter "Mod version", it is a user defined variable so you can enter the version of mod you are using or apply the "Current", "Legacy", filters that I added for convenience to not go through all those modded characters and apply each version individually. It's just a small bit of text on your submission to say what mod version you used but the boards will stay together to avoid getting messy with segregation.

Hopefully this helps :) Let me know if there's any issues here or on Discord

Hello! I shared this in the News but wanted to spread extra awareness in here to reach more peoples ears and eyes. Please feel free to submit to this tournament estimated either towards the end of 2023 or start of 2024

Please also join our Discord to keep up to date with the conversation!

@EvilDoesGames Hello! Sadly this event has passed, sorry for the super late response. If you join our speedrun discord though then you will be notified the next time a tournament happens :)

Hello,

The new change to the leaderboards has just been released and with it we wanted to move the order of our variables for SRB2 Category Extension since the character names are to be in alphabetical order. After finding it and trying to save it is saying "Value URL is missing" but I'm not sure what URL it is that it's talking about. Is this a known problem or will this be fixed going forwards?

It's not that "runners had to cap" the game, the only way prior to this update to have interpolation was to run on a non-official client. That's no longer the case however non-official clients are still banned. addition I didn't add it here but yes you can now run RTA with uncapped but only on the official 2.2.11 client.

As for the changes in 2.2.11, they are pretty small so will probably not make a huge deal. The biggest 2.2.11 change for the RTA speedrun is apparently now the DSZ3 boss no longer casts a shadow, and ERZ1 is faster now. We didn't create a separate category back in 2.2.8 for the last version containing the Hyperwall glitch and I don't think we'll be making one now for something a lot smaller. If some significant change happens like a full revamp or addition of a stage though then there will be a new category.

Hope that helped your question but feel free to ask here or in our discord (probably better, this site sucks for sending updates)if you have any more questions. :)
