Hello MechWarriors! I have added individual level leaderboards for MechWarrior 2, since several of you expressed interest! The "Mission Successful" screen shows in game time (IGT) so we're going to time runs that way. Same global rules apply (Medium difficulty, etc).
There are 32 missions in the game, and I anticipate having to watch & verify a large number of runs in waves, so please bear with me.
I'm excited to run IL's as running a ~40 category is tough for my busy life situation, and I'm sure some of you can agree.
I am teaching myself some (more) programming in order to better track / display the IGT during runs as well. My goal is to build a program that reads the memory of DOSBOX and spits out the IGT down to the hundredths (00:00.00).
Let me know your thoughts! Thanks.
Thanks for adding level leaderboards! I think it would be nice if IL videos included the mech lab in addition to the debrief screen, which I've done for the few runs I submitted so far. I'm not sure whether it should be a rule, though.
Problem with adding the mechlab is it makes resets more tedious. Exit mission menu, go to mechlab, exit mechlab, go to mission menu. Hacked mechs will be obvious in the run, and shouldn't need the extra verification.
Correcting myself : A post-run mech validation can be performed by selecting REPLAY, exiting the mission menu, and going to the mechlab. The previously used mech will be shown.
