France[quote]merci encore de contacter les gens c'est gentil, pour mg rising il ne veux pas :/ c'est dommage c'est là où il y'avait le plus de changement à faire bon pas grave merci tout de même. [/quote]
Pense aussi que des changements sur un leaderboard, ça se voit en communauté, et pas en initiative individuelle juste parce que t'as envie de rajouter un truc. Si eux ne veulent pas, c'est qu'ils considèrent que c'est très bien tel quel et c'est toi de te plier aux exigences de la communauté. PS : retour du topic en anglais à partir de maintenant, sinon c'est banhammer.
Mr_snawk : J'ai contacté tout le monde via Twitter, je leur laisserai décider. Ils sont tous actifs donc devraient répondre.
(Mandatory translation) I've sent a message to all the mods of the games you're asking via Twitter. They're all active in the community so they should give an answer soon.
EDIT : Flicky refuse pour Metal Gear Rising. Flicky refuses for MGR.
On va évidemment préférer sur console, mais si y'a vraiment pas le choix, ce serait bête de refuser uniquement parce que tu joues sur émulateur

StarvinStruthers : Please edit your message to make it readable, then we should process.
Well, you'll always get bottlenecks because that's how the room is designed. Sick improvement indeed, I'll have to test it myself... one day. I couldn't do it because we didn't use to do so many corner jumps and that seems to really help everywhere :P

FuriousPaul: Added to Super Castelvania 4, 2 mods is always better than one PackSciences: Added to Portal Prelude Mr_Shasta: Added to 007 Nightfire, other mod is inactive QuakeRanger: Added to Sniper Elite NZA, other mods are obviously inactive StarvinStruthers: As you can see, mods are active on Kid Dracula so I suggest you can discuss your issues with them. I added you to Mickey's Ultimate challenge. Mr_Snawk: je reviendrai à ta demande plus tard, on en discute en interne (et je pense que si tu écris en français c'est que ton anglais est sûrement pas top, mais si tu peux faire un effort, c'est quand même un forum anglophone à la base ^^')
[quote]not sure if anyone requested that yet, but some way to sent PMs to people would be better than using twitch messages.[/quote]
This feature is planned for ages but Pac is very busy with other things, so this is why it is not ready yet.
Yeah, having a new categry for such a thing is pointless. Also, good thing that we all agree on banning this because this wouldn't be a speedrun anymore, almost.
When you say there might be other glitches with the teleporter, what are you thinking about ?
It was way before I started running the game, so I don't exactly know. I'm the oldest "active" runner around here, but when I picked it it was already there, same thing for the clock. However, I know what's going on with the clock ^^
The kind of duping I remember was something like, you get an anticube somewhere, but if you quit the game and restart, you can get the anticube again and again and again. So it was pretty strong, also required to quit the game. If this is the reason why it was banned (somethng similar to clock room, "doing something outside of the game"), then we could agree that this kind of dupe can be allowed since it's nothing else than a glitch that happens 100% ingame, after all.
I agree that rule can also be made to be changed after some new discovery is done. That's why it's important to talk with most people, even new heads' opinion counts.
After a night of reflection, here's my opinion : we should test this, try to route it and optimize it, see how much it can save. If it's really too different from the current any% clockless (however faster), then the new route will become the new any%, but we should keep the current any% somewhere. I'll help with that whenever I can, this weekend at the latest.
[quote]So yea, this is basically a free cube for every chest we encounter.[/quote]
Using the same code over and over again, I call that a dupe, don't you think ? :/
Sup,
Recently, a new guy (Kurtz) has been running Fez with some very clever new strats. One of them is kinda weird, you can see it on this vod :
He is doing the Achievement Code twice, first time in the Zu village, and then a second time in the Lighthouse, during the chest opening animation of the last anticube at the top of the invisible platforms.
Here is his explanation that he told me by PM :
[quote]By popping an anticube, do you just mean triggering it to appear? The only time I trigger an anticube while opening a chest is near the very end, after I climb those invisible platforms (as far as I remember). Now, I did do something different this run than in previous runs which might answer the 33 cubes question (which totally surprised me as well): Last week when I was running the game, I would trigger the achievement code anticube the first time Gomez wakes up with his fez, still in the village. That's what I had seen on streams. Then I realized that the only reason you guys got that anticube then was so you could open the gate right after Dot stops talking, since the long jump to the treasure chest hadn't been discovered yet. I then saw on Toad's most recent WR run that he triggered (what I assume to be) the achievement code anticube at the same time as he was opening a chest, which let him collect both anticubes at the same time. Here's what I did during that most recent run: When I first got into the ancient town overworld (the place where the QR code room is), I triggered the QR Map anticube and the Achievement code anticube. I don't know all the places the QR Map code can be triggered, so I just do it there, since that's where I've seen it done. HOWEVER, when I climbed the invisible platforms and was opening that treasure chest, I did the Achievement code again, because I couldn't quite remember if I'd done it before, or if I had actually picked up the cube. I realized something was weird, because I got Dot's dialogue about collecting 32 cubes earlier than expected, but it didn't really click with me until I saw all 33 (!) at the end-of-game sequence. So, I don't really know what I did, but it seems like there might be some weird stuff going on with the Achievement code anticube.[/quote]
I see 2 things with that :
- It could be great, because it means you get an extra cube so you can get rid of one, potentially saving lots of time
- As there is this rule saying that cube duping is forbidden, well, to me it is technically some kind of cube duping, since you are doing the same code twice, getting 2 cubes where you should be able to get only one.
I want this to be discussed since it can lead to big changes in the route. Also, we need to figure out the exact circumstances of this, because it'll help to figure out if we classify this as dupe or not.
iirc there is some bulk add stuff, it's just not publically available. Try to contact Pac or another admin, they might be able to do something for you.
There's a lot of flash games on the site already, and you can post every run you do even if it's a very small improvement.
Ask the mods of the game.
Best ways to keep in touch with them currently is to check their Twitch or Twitter accounts if they have any.
If your game has an in-game time, you can post a picture of the IGT at the end of your run. It's, for most games, pretty reliable.
If not, you can still post your splits, but depending on the game (if it's popular or not) you might want to switch to video recording if you start to grow in the leaderboards otherwise your submissions might be refused.
gcah2006: This is exactly why I don't like this kind of situation. I'll let things as they are right now but we'll discuss about it with the other moderators and we will probably get back to you.
