i submitted a level 00-01 run but it got rejected because i didn't have demo proof. what happens if i'm using just the steam version of it?
you can still type "record [insertdemonamehere]" to the console and "stop" to the console after you finish in the steam version
but i dont know any demo names i just started a new game and stoped recording after i finished levels 00-01
To give you some context: A demo is basically an ingame recording (think of it as just recording all your inputs), which can then also be played back ingame. A demo is a .dem file. Once you've recorded a demo, you can submit that by just uploading it to any filesharing site (google drive, dropbox or whatever) and putting the link in the run description. For Individual Level runs, proof in this form (including a link to the .dem file) is required (video proof is optional).
In the Resources section ( https://www.speedrun.com/portal/resources ), there are a few demo timers linked (Listdemo+ is good for single demo files like you would get in an IL, Portal Demo Timer is better for fullgame runs with multiple demos).
but when i go into the demo timer it says my time is a 2:15 when its actually a 2:06 or 2:07
As I put in the rejection note on your run, when doing ILs for 00/01 (and similarly for e02), timing starts when the crosshair appears. Listdemo+ does not account for this, while the Portal Demo Timer does.
okay okay i get everything now i don't have any more questions and if i do... well then im kinda dumb XD
Starting today, runs that require video proof (top 25) and runs beyond that where video is the only form of proof, now require audio, as recording audio for only the game is now a native OBS feature.
