I've noticed that some people have been submitting glitchless runs to Glitch% and glitched runs to glitchless categories. I've decided to try to clear things up a bit to cause less confusion. Let me know if you think I missed anything.
Using the crouch glitch in R15 to see through walls IS a glitch.
Clipping through walls by any means IS a glitch.
Wall jumping through the window in Chapter 1 is NOT a glitch.
Using items through walls (e.g. wrench on top floor in Chapter 1) IS a glitch.
why doesn't the timer start from the first movement? runs would be a lot easier to retime this way.
also why have just glitches and glitchless with a ton of subcategories instead of a category for each zone and the glitches and glitchless subcategories
With the discovery of the true ending, the All Chapters category has been added. You must play all chapters in order, real time will be used, meaning you should use an external timer. Good luck everyone!
The speedrun.com leaderboards for the game have gone through a massive overhaul. All runs submitted now require video, and the two major categories are now Any% and Glitchless. Glitches that would put a run in the Any% category include force resetting, any kinds of clipping, or other engine/physics abuse.
the timer should start on first movement because it's a lot easier to retime and tell exactly where the run starts
time should start on the first movement after the player has loaded in, because loading is not always instant and "the first frame that the player is visible" is a much more loose definition.
The Speed Run Series is now a part of the leaderboards. This includes Speed Run 4, Speed Run Reloaded, Speed Run (Place), Speed Run: Adventure Continues, Speed Run 2, Speed Run V, and Speed Run 4 Classic.
Speed Run 5 and Speed Run 2017 are not included because they are either unavailable or broken.
From this point forward, web runs will be timed based on the "Grains of rice donated so far" on the side of the screen rather than the grain count at the bottom. This is due to an inconsistency with the speed that the grain count at the bottom changes. Hope you all understand.
Edit: The run will still go by the bottom rice count if the user is not logged in
when does the timer start? also please replace the discord link, it is invalid
does someone have the file? the only place i've been able to find the download has been deleted
If you have a suggestion for a category that should be added, leave a post here. (please make sure it's reasonable)
Categories involving very short games (Climb 2000 Stairs to VIP, Down Hill Smash, etc.) will most likely get rejected.
New Rule: Please provide a run when requesting the category
i think all endings could be a cool category. would be a fun longer run of the game that's made a lot easier with the new reset button
a lot of other mmorpgs have it, don't see why not this one since its a much more easily accessible category than the rest
Was this on purpose, or did you just forget to include it? Either way it should be removed from the borads
