As a further example for @Quivico 's suggestion, the leaderboard for A Hat in Time currently uses this method: they simply have a variable stating which version to use, and it's up to the player to choose which version to run (and admitedly people gravitate towards a certain "meta" version).

This may not work for you in the event the latest game version patches out important glitches/skips and is the only one available at all times, but it might be a good approach to keep in mind.

@1 For cases such as Minecraft perhaps you could do a pre-load of the api data into a cache on the site every day at midnight (or maybe once every X amount of hours). Certainly not ideal, but otherwise the user experience with the board would be pretty sluggish.

Welcome to the site @farukon_! Please ignore @shreyashankar, as it's unfortunately a bot.

Feel free to ask anything it you need any help :)

@Garsh you sure have some outlandish dreams man

Can confirm this is a dream and I'm a night terror

@Sizzyl I believe he meant to link this thread. Apparently the parenthesis at the end got interpreted as part of the link when it's not.

To be fair, this time it wasn't me bumping the thread. LUL

I'm merely paraphrasing what we've heard from starsmiley about a week ago; how far they intend to take this is entirely up to ELO. If they feel they are able to host all these new leaderboards then good for them. :)

@ckellyedits They've only recently begun looking into loosening the restrictions a little bit, so games like Among Us and Mr Krabs Overdoses on Ketamine got accepted

Hello there!

As a matter of fact there is a way, and that involves adding a url to the raw code of your auto-splitter into the official Livesplit AutoSplitter XML.

If you're unsure as to how to proceed with this process or you have any other questions regarding auto-splitters in general, I suggest you pay a visit to the Speedrun Tool Development Discord and ask for further assistance should you need it.

Good luck! :)

It's definetely a tricky situation from my point of view at least. While I agree that his other runs are most likely stolen and it's true that in sports or other competitions people get all their awards striped from them when something similar happens, issuing a blanket removal from all boards without making an attempt to check the removed runs themselves beforehand just doesn't sit all that well with me (though that's just my opinion).

That being said, it's really difficult to confirm that a run wasn't stolen from another user on youtube (you could only really confirm the opposite actually) so in this case I guess there's not much else to do. Boards operate on trust in the first place, so if you as a leaderboard mod decide the guy can't be trusted, off he goes.

To be honest, if the runs are already up on the leaderboard, I wouldn't remove them before verifying if they're actually stolen. For all we know, those sonic IL runs might be the only ones he has stolen.

The guy's a massive tool for stealing runs, but that doesn't mean we should start auto-rejecting all the runs on a leaderboard without providing evidence, since that kinda sets a bad precedent.

@Komrade That sounds amazing

I like that.

That'd undoubtedly have to be Pac. The guy has to protect his legacy

Also make sure it's a very Fair game, it's very important. LUL

Aight fam, we'll just hold on to our pings til it's 12:01am september 2nd in china then. Kappa

A first person shooter where you have to rescue the lost MC runners while shootin down bots and ads.

...that's actually not the worst premise for a game I've ever heard.

If it's MS-DOS games we're talking about, it'd almost be a crime not to mention the Doom series.

Thank you for eloquently explaining the topic at hand in a manner that we can all understand what you're referring to.
