You might be comparing against Real Time on Livesplit which is why the timer carried on at the end. Right click Livesplit>Compare Against>Game Time. The timer should now stop at the end of the run but you still have to manually split the final split. GG on the run!

Alright we renamed the category to "Vanilla". Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

Yeah it would probably make more sense. I'll have a chat with the other mods and see what they think.

Right Click Livesplit>Edit Layout>Plus Sign>Control>Scriptable Autosplitter

From there you can add an autosplitter which you can download from the resources section of this board. Make sure Livesplit is comparing against Game Time by right clicking Livesplit>Compare Against> Game time. Then the timer should start and reset automatically.

2nd Choice Only has now been added to the Category Extensions. This run requires you to select the 2nd Choice on every Live Selection event in the run. Thanks to Nevs for the idea and to Mogul for creating the Autosplitter for Mediakite and REbirth. You can download them from the resources section now.

Yeah you're right Mogul, I've added Light Mode to Magnum%.

If there's enough interest for the rest of the Category Extensions to have Arrange and Light Mode added then that's something we could do for sure.

Hey everyone,

The old thread is pretty ancient now so I decided to create a new one to get some fresh ideas on what you'd like to see on the Category Extensions. Feel free to like the ideas that you want to see the most as this will help us keep track of the most popular ones.

After checking the old thread I was surprised to see that Handgun Only and Shotgun Only were not categories yet so I've gone ahead and added them to the board. Really interested in seeing what route you come up with for these 2 new categories.

Looking forward to seeing all your ideas

Thanks!

Hey Everyone,

As I stated in my mod application; I would like to be more open with the community regarding potential changes to the board so that they can be discussed before actually being implemented. Currently the proposed changes that the mod team has been discussing are as followed.

Changes That Will Be Implemented:

We have decided that clarifying whether a GL Tool was used will no longer be a requirement when submitting a run. This will be in effect once we have updated the leaderboard and removed the option. The use of GL Tool will still be completely legal as voted by the community.

Potential Future Changes:

The Mods have been discussing what categories could be moved to the main board and what should be moved over to category extensions. Currently we are in agreement that moving New Game+(Plus) from the CE to the main board could be a good change due to it being the fastest category and one with quite a few submissions already. We would like to know what the community thinks about these proposed changes as well as any other potential changes that you would like to see.

Thanks!

I don't know the exact technical details behind it but I think PCSX ReArmed emulates close to PSP speeds whereas Duckstation and Mednafen emulates PS1. All those black screens and extra loads add to the IGT on the console version of RE1.

YES

Yes of course, the current board should remain intact out of respect to the current runners. Mainly this was suggesting that we create a new board to co-exist alongside the current one. For example other games have an "Emulator(Legacy)" board which would be the same as the board we have now allowing all emulators, and a "Duckstation" board which is more strict and requires all runners to be using the same emulator with proof of settings. psx is a very outdated emulator and hasn't received an update since 2007. Allowing people to compete with a more modern and accurate emulator that still receives compatibility updates might be better for the long term.

This is purely a suggestion since Duckstation was brought up in the original thread. I don't run emulator for this game so the opinion of you guys that do means a lot.

This might be a good chance to have a discussion about the current state of emulation for RE3. Right now the current PS Emu leaderboard has barely any rules and is just a bunch of submissions with no actual proof of what emulator or settings they're using. Other boards including RE1, Parasite Eve 2 and Dino Crisis 2 have added a separate platform for Duckstation so that everyone has to use the same emulator and the same settings, with proof of inputs, emulation speed and Game Frame Rate/FPS.

What are everyone's thoughts on doing something like this for RE3 too?

Says in the rules that using a Wii is completely fine. Good luck!

Seems there was an update to Duckstation recently which has improved RE1 load times. I just tested my own version of Duckstation which is the latest version and there is no longer that long black screen after "yet". It was definitely there before. I guess you can test yourself by updating your own version of Duckstation and giving it a try.

This is actually a good thing because I found Duckstation to be extremely slow for RE1, hopefully this puts it more on par with actual hardware in terms of load times.

Also Subsonix. I think yours is showing 60fps in the top right because you checked "Show Display FPS" and not "Show Game Frame Rate" in the Display Settings on Duckstation.

Wondering what everyone's opinion is on having Light Mode be a potential tab on the main board instead of Category Extensions?

I think it's a good alternative to Heavy Mode as it contains similar enemy and puzzle RNG, more ammo per pickup and makes One-Cycle Worm a possibility on every run due to lower boss HP. Some weapons like the Shotgun and Magnum are available immediately from the item box which could lead to different strategies compared to Heavy Mode.

I think it could also be a good entry into Nemesis% for anyone who feels the current Nemesis% to be overwhelming with the amount of quickshooting required. Nemesis has 600 HP instead of 800 HP in Light Mode.

Just an idea, would be interested in knowing what the mods and other runners think. Thanks.

Just wondering if the REbirth patch is allowed or going to be allowed in future? Got a couple of autosplitters set up for it that I can upload to resources if so.

I don't think anything was agreed Hoobie. He offered to create a completely new game for the SD version when all we asked for was SD to be added to the current one.

The majority of people in this thread have been very positive about the change that has been proposed by Mogul. The only people who have been vocally against it are Trance who is the only active Super Mod, which grants him all the power in this situation and Hoobie who is his friend. Trance, are you really going to hold the board hostage because you personally don't want the change, even if the community wants it? I feel at this point we've been more than reasonable at trying to reach an agreement with you.

I think it's clear at this point that we're not going to get everything separated between consoles and emulators. I think what Mogul has proposed is a good middle ground as you get to keep PS3 and PS3 Emulator together and the SD runners get their own tab without everything being cluttered.

I don't understand how creating a completely new game leaderboard for the SD version is better than having them separated by HD and SD tabs on the current board. The cluttered excuse just doesn't seem enough to justify going to that extreme.
