Regarding Music over runs.
7 years ago
United Kingdom

Not everything that's blatant common sense needs to be documented down as a rule. In basically every other RE game, as I've said, we've not ever had a problem with this issue. Ever.

The reason it's written for RE7 is because:

  • People kept submitting runs with ridiculously loud music.
  • We wrote a rule of music is allowed but please do not drown out the game audio.
  • People ignored that and kept doing it anyway.

There would be more of a problem if we allowed music and then pick and chose what runs got rejected, and what runs got accepted than if we put everyone on equal grounds and said "no music". It's that simple, really.

Well, it's really stupid. Do another category "Music allowed" ? Everything is resolved...

"People are dumb if they can't follow rules. " - Couldn't agree with you more, Konradgavin. ^-^

Belgium

Furry, don't make "lol" of me, okay? I'm just saying something. If you do a "Music allowed" category, EVERYTHING is resolved! And runners would be happy, you know?

United States

What about a category for different types of music? One for classical, another for rock, etc?

"People are dumb if they can't follow the rules" "Make another category because I don't want to follow the new rule"

This thread is getting so dumb and embarassing and I'm about ready to walk away from this game.

I'm not talking about different types of music. Music is music, end of this conversation.

I'm talking about a category with music allowed, every types of music allowed, it's not complicated, is it?

United States

CursedToast, so that's a no for the Metallica% category?

You know what else is not complicated? Actually following the rules.

" Do another category "Music allowed" ?"

wat

but that's not even a category of the video game and doesn't at all respond to the core issue moderation has with loud music over the game, you seperate categories if it makes the run distinct, not if it annoys the mods to verify

this is such a confusing, bad idea on so many levels

Belgium

So boring. I'm off, have a good day!

I will continue running this game with music, and I don't give a fuck about being in the leaderboard.

Categories for a game are based around the game.

Not based around what a few people are having issues with totally unrelated to the games on their streams. Best thing I can do is tell you to pop back a few pages and read the insight AltriaAvalon posted.

You can still run the game with music. Just separate it with virtual audio cables or a cheap mixer so OBS doesn't pick up the music. OBS studio does a good job with separating audio tracks.

Furry: So already or I was disrespectful? I just said that it finds like in 40 with the Nazi! If you feel concerned ... sad for you LUL Then excuse me but you do not stop contradicting yourself: Once the rules of the RE, Once the copyright, once Xerian is for nothing, Other one should not have accepted it there is audio muter ... In short you do that to contradict you are not even credible! Besides, I think I'm not the only one to complain about the proof!

On the other hand the father Qvaku, who just come to insult me ​​while he does not even talk about all the flow, my big come to talk to me when on pc you will catch up my time on pc frankly you are sorry.

So if you follow your logic: Yes but its always been like that! So if you follow your reasoning, "It's the rules since all the time" So since the man raped the woman since the night of the times can not continue? And since war has existed since the birth of man why should we stop it? AHHHHH yes it's true we call it evolution can not be ?!

We do not ask you to accept the runs with a muskiue too strong or with a cut audio, but just to accept music that does not hinder the verification of the game !!! The least open-minded people here are not me.

So I would still like to remind the rules of Resident Evil Series or music is not forbidden or just the audio mute is banned or not :

Resident Evil : - PC 1.7/1.8 patch and Livesplit In-game time script must be used (IGT must be fully visible) (Auto-splits are optional) http://www.speedrun.com/re1/thread/3emvq

  • Game audio must be audible throughout your run.

Resident evil Operation Raccoon city : Timed via RTA

Resident evil 6 : ¤Single-Segment. ¤Time via in-game time. ¤Tactical Resets are allowed ¤ Training mod is banned ¤Can be either character

Now I will put the only games or music on the run is completely banned at any point :

Resident Evil 7 Biohazard : Beat the game as fast as possible.

Loading a game is NOT allowed. Using "Retry" IS allowed.

New Game+ items allowed, including infinite ammo. Close

So I would really like to know the "But it's forbidden the music since the beginning it's not you who will change it"

Bah desoler but I see especially that it is you who creates the rule that suits you because you do not want to hear music just short.

I'm waiting for your next excuse now in my opinion ca may be fun xD !!!

"People are dumb if they can't follow rules." The irony is killing me right now.

@jigfio

Again, and again, and again you bring the same shit. New rules are plain and simple: NO GODAMN MUSIC, PERIOD!. You are not in position to bargain anything especially, when it's the first game you submitted to SR community. Full support for mods and their decision to adjust the rules a little bit! Speedrunning is an art, not a techno party for lunatics.

Belgium

Speedrunning is an art?

Music is an art too, without art, the live of all human is boring.

If speedrunning is an art, music too, we make them together!

England

As stated multiple times already you can listen to music while running just as long as it doesn't interfere with hearing the game audio.

Qvaku you too art you should end up in a museum so you're cute. Go stopping talking to the idiot its risking to instruct you

Should I explain how to diffuse the sound of the games and the music on console on his stream is impossible J_dolan? And do not get me out by earphone. My viewer is also entitled to listen to what I hear. If you find me a solution ... =)
