Fun fact, on speedrun.com/runsawaitingverification (where we get all pending runs) we only see 50 runs at a time. So old runs don't even appear anymore. Luckily we have a discord bot that can show those to us. If you don't want to go on discord you can also see the runs yourself here and for the category extension you can see them here. Note that all those runs are in json format and come from the speedrun.com api which you can read more about here.
(Actually touch screen is banned on console also because idk what kind of contraptions people have)
More specifically it starts on first input. That is movement or camera movement.
Yes, if the first half is any% then it turns into all bosses then yes. But a glitchless can't be submitted to glitched. We try to avoid duplicates like that. But your example is fine :D
Hi, I would like to get an update on what I said on page 85, specifically the demoting an inactive super mod from minecraft bedrock edition.
Hi, I'm a moderator of Minecraft Bedrock edition and one of the super mods has never (to my knowledge) verified a run for this game. I have DMed them on discord on 11/04/2020 with no answer. (also as a side request could I be made super mod? Thanks)
Terribly sorry about that, it seems like Max accidentally submitted it in the wrong category and I didn't notice lol. Fixed, thanks for letting me know
Not to my knowledge. What speedrunners do is downgrade to 1.5 and after going into the end ran from the dragon so it despawns, even for a second. The portal will activate and you can run to it and hop in, even if the dragon isn't dead.
Fun fact: I download all runs and time them offline with some jank ass windows 98 video editor called Virtualdub. My problem is that I can't download from twitch so I gave this task (more or less by force) to all other mods. So I only verify from youtube and everyone else verifies on twitch (and youtube maybe? Don't think we have an actual schedule). My regular schedule is if I get spammed hard enough by people I will verify on weekends, and in emergency in the week. Right now I'm sick at home so I verified everything. Hope this somewhat answers your question about my process of verifying.
It is an old bug, yes, but it's been happening a lot more lately since farewell. The fact that it crashes is not really the problem, but the fact that it's crashing a lot more often for a lot more people, and as you said in #bug-reports kinda makes speedrunning a lot more annoying.
Pause n' (and) play is a technique used to make platforms turn faster. By pausing when a moving object slows down and unpausing the object will go the other way instantly. Because pausing pauses the InGame timer this is basically risk free. But in all worlds real time is used so it's less useful.
Pray. It's not OBS, it's a game problem. Everest does fix it, but it's illegal. We are waiting for a patch, but devs still haven't answered. Not 100% sure, but maybe crashes might be excused in full game runs, but it's generally not encouraged. And no, you will most likely never be able to run with Everest on (unless you make your own Everest and make it hidden so mods would never find it, but if they do you'll be banned from the boards if not the site)
The previous mod has decided to step down and they also deleted the discord. There's a new one which hopefully works
All categories now have co-op ٩( ᐛ )و
Emma, one of the top players in any% uses this 'https://github.com/MCMrARM/mc-w10-version-launcher/releases/tag/0.1.0'. Haven't personally used it, but others did and it worked
Hi, happy to see someone interested in this category. Hope I can help with answers.
- Yes, you can play with more than 2 players as no other runs have been submitted yet. When someone else will submit we'll probably have to split the boards because we don't want to make it 'most popular wins' type.
- Preferably one player should get all achievements, as it's easiest to verify and not make it a puzzle where I need to put all pieces together. The person who gets all achievements should also be the host and record, which leads us into
- No, only the host needs to. They will need to host the world to prove no cheats have been used. Also they should get all achievements on video. But if more players will record in one video I would be ok with it (and as a watcher I would love it). I think as long as all achievements are on video, the host is recording at least and you don't cheat you should be fine. Looking forward your run :)
