I haven't played through this game entirely, but I assume it's because the skyfall mission is a separate DLC that isn't included in the base game. To my knowledge, the only legal way to get it is to buy the game on Wii U since the skyfall mission is on the disc in that version. But for 360, PS3, and PC, I don't think you can download it unless you downloaded it before they took it off the store. I may be wrong about that though. @InfiniteSheldor probably knows more about that than I do.
I advocated for that a few months ago but this game is just not active enough when it comes to individual levels to have All Tokens IL runs. If they were added, they would be blank for a long time until someone gets around to putting random runs on there. 00 Agent has been an individual level category since the beginning and it wasn't until earlier this year that Matimbre got around to filling the times page with some runs. I'm all for an All Tokens category for IL's but there is just not enough competition to make it worth having a category for.
The PS2 version is a completely different game than the version released for other systems. As for why the other QoS leaderboard has PS2 listed, I think that's a mistake.
Hello! We don't have a specific discord server for this game, but there is a 007 series discord for all the games released after the original GoldenEye (since they have their own community on the-elite.net) that you can find here: https://discord.gg/EUU7wqZ
We have channels for each of the games including #goldeneye-reloaded, which is for this game and the Reloaded version on 360/PS3. Both games were combined into the one channel because they are similar games and only have a few runners at the moment.
I can't speak for this game, but other bond games from that console generation are much faster on Xbox 360 than PS3. The reason is because you can install physical copies to the internal hard drive on Xbox 360 but you can't do that on PS3. For GoldenEye: Reloaded, Xbox 360 saves about 6 minutes in a 2-hour run. I'm not sure how much of a difference PC would make, though. But I assume it would be faster since you could install it to an SSD.
Crouching makes it a little easier, in my opinion. Go up to the railing, crouch, then walk backwards. Right after falling through the ground, hold forward and mash the sprint or crouch button a few times. When you do that, you should be able to land on the railing while holding forward, which will let you fall to the bottom floor pretty easily.
Can you add 007 Racing to the James Bond series?

I think it's great, too. But it looks bad for leaderboards with low opacity. The only thing that would need to be changed is the opacity of the rules panel itself.
Hello. I think a nice feature for this site would be an "overall combined time" section for individual level leaderboards. It offers a fun challenge and a great incentive for people to do more IL runs of their favorite games. GoldenEye: 007 on N64 is the most notable game that does this on their website (the-elite.net), and I think it would be a great feature for some games here on speedrun.com like GoldenEye: 007 for Wii, which I'm a pretty active runner for. Even though many communities wouldn't care for such a feature, I think it would be a really nice option for the communities that do, such as GoldenEye and The World is Not Enough.
Something like this:

Nice dude. I'm happy to see people still care about this game. I'd love to make a TAS once I'm done with my other projects. It'll probably be a little while but I've had lots of ideas for this game.
Hello, my name is FitterSpace and I started routing this game a while back. I was considering doing a TAS for this game but I lost interest in it over time. But I'm happy to post my route notes and some glitches I've found in a google doc for anybody who is interested. I was originally routing for 100% completion since that would be more entertaining for a viewer.

@callmeliam__ knows a bit more about scripts than I do, but I added the subcategory because the half-life leaderboard also has it. Although this game technically runs on the GoldSrc engine, it's been so heavily modified that it has barely any half-life in it. One of the developers said in an interview that there's about as much half-life in Nightfire as there was Quake in half-life. But thankfully this game still has some cool bhop stuff you can do.
I don't exactly know the answer to your question, unfortunately. But I've seen Liam play around with scripts on his stream before and I know there's one script that makes aiming with the sniper rifle really fast. I don't think half-life scripts will work for this game so Liam is pretty much starting from square one with the scripted category. Hopefully he'll make some cool scripts though and get a good run on the leaderboard one day.
For my runs, I use a Wii with standard composite cables (the yellow, white, and red cables) plugged into an old CRT TV. I use a splitter so I can capture the video with a capture device. To capture it, I use the ion Video2PC. It's about $50 USD and records up to 60 frames per second with good quality. Since you are in the UK, you're playing on the PAL version, which runs at 50 frames per second. But the Video2PC also supports PAL mode so you're good.
For HDMI, I use an Avermedia Live Gamer Portable. It's a pain to set up properly but it works well once it's set up. I remember having some weird driver issues before I finally got it to work somehow. That was years ago so I don't remember what I did, but hopefully that would work well for you. If you don't plan on streaming to YouTube or Twitch, you could also get an Elgato HD (or the HD60). It's not good for streaming since it has lots of latency, but it's good for recording locally. Anyway, the Avermedia Live Gamer Portable has an HDMI passthrough so you can play on your monitor and record to your PC with a program like OBS, or you can use the included software which works fine for local recording. The Avermedia LGP supports 720p at 60fps or 1080p at 30fps. Unfortunately, HD capture cards are pretty expensive. I think mine was about $150 USD when I got it a few years ago.
If you're not able to use a capture card, a webcam works well enough. It's not an ideal solution at all, but any sort of video is better than nothing. Even pointing your phone at the TV would be fine. Keysstonelight used to stream and go for world record attempts with his webcam pointed at his TV. You could probably go back to his highlights on twitch and see his webcam streams.
You should be able to tell if you're moving quickly by the sound of Bond's footsteps. I quickly wrote a little guide about version differences here: https://www.speedrun.com/007nf/guide/tlylh
It doesn't list everything since that's just what I came up with off the top of my head. But that's most of what I can remember. There are a lot of resources for this game. Feel free to reach out to any of the top runners and they're probably help you. Matimbre and callmeliam__ stream on twitch on a regular basis, and i'm sure they'll help you as well.
@davo10008 @nn|Doge
Unfortunately, the PS2 version is different than the GameCube and Xbox versions when it comes to clipping. Most of the clips work just fine, but there are a few tricks that are GC/Xbox exclusive. The clip davo10008 mentioned is possible on PS2, but you can't land on the seam. The seam will always push you off when you land on it. Theoretically, you could do frame-perfect jumps across the entire thing to avoid that, but it will probably never be done. The fastest way to complete Chain Reaction is by using the old Ronin Jump method. I believe my tutorial is old enough to cover that in good detail. I'll edit this post with a link to it when I can. I can't say for sure, but I feel like some of the clips are quite a bit harder on PS2. Although I've only played that version through an emulator.
We need more people to test for version differences on real hardware. It's something that this community really lacks compared to others. I've done a lot of testing for the GameCube and Xbox versions, but PS2 is uncharted territory for the most part. I'm glad you guys are learning Nightfire, especially on PS2.
edit: This isn't a tutorial, but here's a link to Chain Reaction from my All Tokens runs. Ronin Jump saves time in that category so you get to see it in action. Just ignore the tokens, since you don't have to collect them in any%:
You can also check out OllieNK's No Clipping/OoB run. That's a good example of Ronin Jump, but clipping will help you save time over that route.
edit 2: @nn|Doge No Clipping/OoB is a great beginner category. It also helps you practice your movement since that's the only way to get a good time in that category. When you feel comfortable with the movement, I'd highly recommend learning the clipping glitches, at least the ones that are possible on PS2. Like I mentioned earlier, most of them will work, but not much testing has been done with the newer time saves that have been found lately.
Hello! I would highly recommend watching keysstonelight's any% tutorial if you plan on learning any%. His video is more up-to-date than mine. It should be linked on the guides page but if not, you can find it on YouTube. But my videos are fine for No Clipping/OoB since that category hasn't changed much since its creation. Some of the glitches don't work on the PS2 version, but that is irrelevant for No Clipping/OoB since that category doesn't use glitches anyway. Infact, the version you play on really only matters if you're going for a good any% time (under 40 minutes).
Video proof is required for the leaderboards, but video quality isn't an issue. Even a webcam video at 240p is fine, as long as the run can be seen in some way.
There is a 007 speedrun discord but we tend to keep it to runners only due to some toxicity that has happened in the past. But I'm pretty much always online so feel free to @ me on twitter and I'll respond to you. I can also send you a link to my own discord server if you want to talk on there since it's public anyway.
I'm happy to see new people starting to run this game. It's a great game and takes very little time to learn.
Thanks, Pac! Also, the borders look great, @ROMaster2
I hope the borders get added as a site feature soon. That would be great.
Could you add the borders to the games that I moderate? Would there be an option for me (and other mods) to edit the color to match the theme?
How did they get those borders between the times in the starcraft IL board?
https://www.speedrun.com/sc1/individual_levels
I've looked through the settings for a game I moderate but I don't see anything like that.
It's not on here because nobody runs it. It could probably be added in the future if people started running it, but that hasn't happened yet.
