Ontario, Canadano you need a capture card or a device that can reroute the signal to a computer to record or stream with. There are plenty of guides and tutorials around with some simple searching that can help you get started in knowing what is needed and what you can do.
technically speaking emulators are frowned at because of the somewhat illegal nature of them, tho in some cases people use them as a way to play and record a game that own physically but have no way to record it normally.
But emulators are still accepted for allot of games for runs of separate categories. As for emulators in generally I don't really have en experience with them nor do I like the idea of trying to trust random DL's for Roms etc. rather just invest on actual hardware and the game and the equipment to play and record it.
I just don't see this as a viable game to run competitively at least not from what it is currently. There is no end goals for the game or any oblivious ones besides just survive. MP games like the one you are suggesting just are not viable just like COD death matches are not considered just like for most Shooters and or Online only games.
problem is if that card has a delay that means it harder to time and record on video for runs. Generally you would have to figure out what the delay is and try and compensate for it. I know allot of people who use Elgato's but they don't record runs with them.
As far as strats go allot of movement optimization, and special and transformation management is mostly key. Trying to manipulated enemy spawns for the key fights to advance the chapters quicker, Also possibly using items when they are available will also increase time saved. You can skip some of the fights but there are some specific ones that must be triggered to advance the chapters.
I will be looking at the best way to set up the Mission and Chapter specific level leaderboards soon, as those are designed to be run as so. Just allot of them to add and how to best organize and present them.
I'm sure there is also some skips for fights I have not discovered yet, As I've only done a handful of runs to get things going. My runs at this moment are not the best as I still was trying a few things during runs to see if any differences were happening.
Practicing the IL's of a chapter will be the best way to optimize certain chapters and attempt to find more skips for fights and possible some walls that can be jumped or glitched around.
As for things atm the main runs for full game are up, hope to have IL's ready soon tho so practicing those will be nice.
Only card I can suggest is the one I'm using currently as it works great for anything using HDMI, has little to no latency at all or audio delay. for me cost about $400 CAD, fairly moderate amount for a very decent current card. If you wanna do anything else with older machines you'll need some work around equipment etc, running and recording it is an investment just like any hobby or passion is.
Problem I see with the game as far as running it would be, is that there are no clear end goals or ways to get stats etc.... The fact that the game is all based on players and not anything to do with breaking the game I don't really see it as being a great game to speed run. but those are just my thoughts on it as it stands, maybe others have more insight?
pretty sure they are ordered Alphabetically on your profile page for your runs, as they would also be with the awesome new follow feature for anywhere else they will appear. Not sure why you'd wanna change alphabetical order...? seems much easier the way it is now, but I guess everyone has their preferences.
That's awesome Lighnat0r, that should clear up and concerns with if you submitted something or if its still pending. <3 Thanks for the kool new feature.
World of Recycled Vessel is now on the Level Leaderboard. AKA " 15 Nightmares "
~ All Doors - Complete all Doors and all Nightmares. (Each door has 5 Nightmares to complete)
~ First, Second and Third Door(s) - Complete the Door and all of it's Nightmares.
Categories were moved around and runs may have been orphaned in that event. Changes were done to better organize the leader-boards and make room for "World of Recycled Vessel" DLC categories. Full game runs are now where they should be again.
I've never really noticed that, but most times I just have it output to stream/recording only as I play the default sounds through the tv/monitor and just have audio cancellation and noise gates setup properly to compensate for it.
Maybe the new OBS rework will have that issue and the slew of others they are working on for the Multi-platform version.
I can say that depending on the number of things they have to do or need to do it can take a while. I submitted a game about 3 or so days ago so just be patient and eventually you'll get a notification/response about it. Same applies for when you submit runs as well it could take awhile depending on the number or available mods for that game or in general for the site. We all have other commitments that take priority. <3
Pleasure to have you and hope to see you running soon then <3. I'm sure I can relate in a few ways or more. =)
<3 it I was tearing up over it, and that is why the passion is loved by so many of us. <3 Kudos Adam and all the people that were shown in that brief trailer. SO hyped for this!
I am currently setting up a 100% play-through file to get all endings and then duplicate the file and possibly upload it for 100% runs. This will take some time as the set up for this will take allot of game time probably more then 30 hrs easily, I need to farm for the money to get all the weapons and get the previous endings as well. Since the game counts all the time from each play-through keep track of the initial starting time before the actual run when it's ready will be important, you would need to subtract the initial time from the finial save time after credit roll or use standard RTA as per outlined.
At some point along the way I will also hope to get the other run category's set up with files as well fro those. Generally the main runs are only Any% which is the easiest and less time consuming due to no required set up, to compete with, So I'll be trying to make saves that will already be set up for those Other runs. <3 in mean time looking forward to others they may wanna get into speed running this game before its sequel comes.
to create IL's if your have moderation access to the "games edit" page feature, you need to set up the IL's properly and makes sure you have named the IL's and the categories are set up for them. Make sure they are named, have specific rules and easy to read and follow, the number of players required for the IL/Category and tick the box if its a misc/just for fun category or not.
Make sure as well that Main games info is set up to properly show by default - Full-game runs or IL runs. Make sure that you hit that save button and then submit or check for any runs that require verification, this includes your own.
To have a run show up, the run must be Verified and accept by the Mods of the game(s). If you are a mod of the game then you need to do the following when submitting runs for yourself. You need to make sure near the bottom of the submit run page for the IL for the game or w/e etc you check the box that says "Automatically verify Run". that should have your run show up now that it's verified, if you have any pending runs there will be a notification in the Shield icon next to your name on the top right, click it for the drop down and check the notifications that way.
Ame similar process should apply, hope at least some of this is valid and helps.
This approval process takes time, be patient with the admins, as they are only a few of them that maintain and run the site through free will and support. Once it's submitted just wait till you get the notification about the request, same apply to submitting actual runs. <3
Well if they only showed up for when they already had a run, that would kinda feel bad to them if others that do stream that game wanted to pop in watch and then offer some help or advice... they would not see them on the listings. I feel that it should be an opt in/out and for further control it should be watched for much like SRL for people that are not actively doing something speed running related. If they are running / routing they should so up regardless if they already run the game or not. If they are not doing something run related, and they do not have the [noSRL] filter or w/e on they should be warned and removed from the streams listing for a increasing duration from # of offenses that were issued.
This is just my outlook on this, but as I currently see it there is already some of a filter going on, but if people do not use the filter tags that is their choice and hence if they are found abusing this should be dealt with accordingly.
I frequently play allot of random stuff just cause i want to, but I do run games a fair portion of the time. I use the SRL tags as do many of the people I know when we play non-run related games or stuff.
