Necropolis categories

So we have all nemmy kills including downtown nemmy. We have bad ending with the rocket hitting RC. We have good ending with shooting the rocket and killing down town nemmy. We have good++ where we kill 6 nemmys save carlos and leave on the chopper.

How we feeling about that? Too much or not needed. Just think some ways to end this are faster than others so seperating endings seems appropriate.

There should be Any% (which is the old route and the fastest with the bad ending) And there should be Best Ending (dont leave go downtown) And there can be Carlos% Ending (6 Nemmys and leave with carlos) but here the only difference is that this is the old route with killing one more nemmy. I dont think we should have 3 categories for this considering not much people are going to run this.

A nemesis% category makes no sense in this because of the matrix dodging nemmy in the clocktower hallway. I killed him with the knife but that took forever.

Since I dont see a possibility right now to have multiple tabs under the Necropolis category we ll have the new best ending for now for 1.1 and any% for 1.0.

I do think that with the free RL we could do 1.1 pretty fast with the bad ending but I am not really sure we can do it faster than in version 1.0. Since the new ending is the most unique part of the mod I think we should start there and see if there is any interest.

I uploaded my run and I will verify master deans run too and hope for more submissions :).

Yeah more runners more cats. I know there is gonna be more interest and with masterdeans run here hands down should get some more people on board.

Hiya guys. Will a new category be created for 1.1.3 for Lord? Also will we be getting a category for the fastest version on the game without the Good ending?

Hi Matthew,

the amount of people that can run this can be counted in 1 hand and more categories will make this even more unattractive to try out.

The fastest version of the game is already there its the 1.0.X any%. This version doesnt have the additional roundabout at the RPD with the cables and saves tons of time. So for the fastest time run that.

For 1.1.3, I dont think that there is a need for an additional category. We have 1.1 which has the additional roundabout at the RPD. I would say here run 1.1.1 where you have the quick handgun for free and the added matrix dodges for nemesis. From 1.1.1 - 1.1.3 the changes only made the game slower without any additional content, so a new category is IMHO not needed.

I understand that but another reason for asking is that previous patches are no longer available on moddb from what I can find. Could be a good idea to put it in resources perhaps someone else will want to run it some day for the leaderboards.

he removed the patch with the faster handgun? its tough as i like the new patch , for the PowerStation. but the old one for the hand gun. and again more cats needs more players, id love to see the board for necro fill up but no one wants to put in the work the only person ive seen is masterdean other than the usual suspects we have here. id happily place the version in resources though soon as

Matthew I will upload everything to the resources soon. If you need 1.1.1 to run the fast gun version hit me up in private.

EDIT:

Uploaded the executables in the resources section: https://www.speedrun.com/re3mods/resources

TY dude I do have it but was also hoping to try drum up interest while de-rusting and direct people to the boards for info/links and stuff. It still baffles me that not many runners have tried this yet, its such a fun challenge to get into and hopefully one day it'll explode with interest. I think having a resources to get people started will help with that - cheat sheet, IGT timer etc will make it more appealing hopefully.
