It says "unofficial" so probably not.

I didn't know there was version that said Refresh or Panic.

Do I need to use an external timer for runs in infiltrator mode or can I just use the ingame time? It shows you your time at the end of the run.

Hey all, yesterday the game rules were updated to now include:

"As of April 6th 2021, all runs with video proof require audible audio."

This was always a bit of a given before but we had just never written it down. From now on guys, please include in-game audio in your run.

Thanks

Ahh okay, I didn't actually know that the timing started once combat did. Thanks for the clarification

Hi guys,

Been thinking about running the individual levels in this game for some time now.

Would my run(s) be accepted if I were to use the time you get after completing the level? There really doesnt seem to be any difference between this and real time via something like livesplit.

Cheers

Thank you for bringing that to my attention. Most of the stuff in that "guide" is either outdated or completely wrong. I've deleted the entry about the FPT and Stage 21 being "literal hell"

With support for Adobe Flash Player ending on 31/12/2020, you might be wondering what's going to happen with speedrunning not only This Is The Only Level, but also other flash games.

Franklin%, so just prologue? you could just play the prologue mission in that case.

Some of the responses might seem a bit dickish, but i swear I see someone ask this every few weeks.

^this response

You must be the 293rd goober thats brought up Michael%. Its pointless as a category. Seriously either run the whole game or find another game to run. Or just run Trevor%, that lasts just under an hour at the top level.

Recently the leaderboard had a bit of an overhaul and in this post I wanna highlight those changes and also just let you know what's happening going forward.

We now have loadless on the leaderboard!

We decided to drop IGT entirely due to it's inaccuracy and instead we now have "time with loads" and "time without loads".

By default your time should be entered into with loads however if you want to input your loadless time, then you'll need to use Intercom's autosplitter/load removal tool, PostalLoads, which can be found in Resources.

All runs on the leaderboard (including obsolete ones) have been updated to show their time in the with loads field.

I would strongly suggest that anyone who submits a run, uses PostalLoads to get their loadless time, if you can spare 5 mins to setup livesplit, then you can spare 2 more to add the autosplitter.

The other major change, is we have gated off QSQL. There is now a variable on the leaderboard that says "Restricted/Unrestricted"

Restricted bans the use of QSQL.
Unrestricted allows the use of QSQL.

This was done since QSQL kinda sucks and it eventually turns the game into a giant luckfest, so having a seperate leaderboard where you can just run the game without having to worry about it, is kind of a breath of fresh air.

Obviously these are big changes and we are still ironing a few things out however it looks promising, any feedback or suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Hey folks

It's that time again, me and Lucky Hamburger have decided to start another bounty for the first person who can beat or tie the existing WR.

The rules are simple:

Achieve a time of 2:24:675 or better on the Any% P+Gless category.
A video of the feat (with audable audio) is required and preferably all attempts should be streamed.
(Reply to this thread with your stream name if you can)

Deadline for completion is 7/1/2021 (7th January 2021, 6 months from now)

I will be putting forward £30 myself and Lucky has said he will put in $20.

Additionally, if you are a runner and you would like to give towards the bounty, let either myself or Lucky know.

If you are considering going for this, please join the TITOL speedrunning discord server if you haven't already for communication purposes.

Good luck and happy running!

troll account lol, only made an hour ago.

Hey all,

For those who maybe aren't in the discord and didn't see the announcement, I made a follow up of sort to that "history of titol" video I made back in March of 2018. It wasn't a video though, I live streamed it over on my youtube channel, feel free to give it a watch here

Yeah seen a few times on this is the only level.

Just started running this game, could help but notice some of the times are inputted incorrectly:

Basically any time where the milliseconds start with a zero is entered wrong.

For example, 0:51:018 should be 0:51:180 since the 18 on the timer is 180.

Thought I'd post a quick update regarding the recent rule change:

As of the 6th of April 2020:

QSQL is allowed in all Classic Mode categories but is banned in Enhanced and SMSS%
The church cutscene skip is also banned in SMSS%

Additionally, all Classic Mode submissions must state whether they use QSQL or not.

These rules were put in place by Corkysek, so thank you very much Corky for making that happen.

We wanted to limit the use of QSQL because if it gets used in all categories, people will be put off the game.

Banning it in all categories, put the runs that already use it in an awkward position and it technically isn't cheating but as it has the potential to ruin this game, it's better to just ban its use in the categories it hasn't been used in.

Recently, myself, Jamarley and Enemy were in discussion about the possibility of banning the use of QS/QL from the SMSS% and Enhanced categories.

The reason being is quite simply, QS/QL is cancer and it has the potential to completely ruin this as a speedgame.

Currently, it has only been utilized in Any% Classic Mode and in 1 Impossible Any% run but based on the existing rules, there is nothing to say it can’t be used elsewhere.

I think that we should allow the use of the glitch in Any% Classic + Pacifist + Impossible but ban the use of it in Enhanced + Pacifist, SMSS% as well as any other misc category.

Enhanced in particular is very movement focused and relies on good shovel jumping to save time. Learning good shovel jumping is a skill in and of itself and the Intercoms WR of 20:51, is an incredible benchmark that anyone playing the category should strive to beat. Now imagine if someone came out of nowhere and swiped an easy WR just by using this glitch, even though the rest of the run was garbage, in my opinion, that person didn’t deserve the record.

SMSS% is similar in the sense that it uses equally fast and precise movement, and that should be the main focus, not spamming a button a bunch of times. I feel like we should allow the use of it in Any% Classic as it has already been used a few times and the run in general is a lot slower and relies more on skips, but ban it elsewhere to keep interest in the game and also to make sure there is an area free of this abomination.

It’s no secret that QS/QL has affected overall activity in Any% and if it is allowed in all other categories, then it may kill activity on this game completely, since no one wants to execute a frame perfect trick 8 times, execute everything else well and pray for good RNG everywhere else.

There should be at least some part of the game that does not involve this glitch otherwise people will grow bored of it, very quickly.

Lastly, it poses an interesting scenario regarding cheaters. Someone could use a macro key to input the quicksave button a bunch of times and get QS/QL 100% of the time and the worst part is, we would have no way to detect this, I mean sure you could suspect someone is using one of they get 8/8 QS/QL but you would have no proof to back it up and thus, the run would be able to stand. Hell, some people in the discord have already mentioned using Macros for testing purposes, its only a matter of time before someone uses one for real and we won’t be able to do anything about it.

To summarise, we should limit the use of QS/QL to the following categories only:

Any% Classic
Any% Classic Pacifist
Impossible Any% Classic
Impossible Any% Pacifist Classic

As movement in these categories is quite slow and they are more about skips and in impossible, you aren’t exactly gonna restart a run because you didn’t get QS/QL, plus it has already been used in an impossible run.

But ban the use of it in every enhanced category and every misc category in order to preserve interest in the game.

I know this was super long but I feel like this is something we need to address sooner rather than later, let me know what you think.
