There's 3 categories right now for some reason, 2 for drift cars and 1 for any car of your choosing. This seems rather random to me, especially the fact that people in 1 lap column don't even use the fastest cars, instead they tend to use the Japanese Pro tuned cars. I would feel rather bad at beating WanWan's nissan skyline run with a pagani zonda for example, since it's not even fair at that point. I was thinking that maybe we could change up the columns to represent a vehicle class type, instead of 2 random drift cars and then any other car There's 14 different classes in the game: 1 ) Drift (7 cars) 2 ) Pro Muscle (6 cars) 3 ) GT1 (6 cars) 4 ) Pro Tuned (4 cars) 5 ) LMP1 (4 cars) 6 ) Prototype (3 cars) 7 ) GT2 (2 cars) 8 ) Touring Cars (2 cars) 9 ) LMP2 (2 cars) 10 ) Prestige (2 cars) 11 ) Demolition Derby (1 car) 12 ) Formula 3 (1 car) 13 ) Formula 1000 (1 car) 14 ) Club GT (1 car) People in the current leaderboard have used pretty much exclusively 2 types of cars, Drift (the AE86 and Subaru Impreza) and Pro Tuned (Toyota Supra and Nissan Skyline). So how about making it into 3 categories for now, such as Drift column, Pro Tuned column and Any Car column. That way when making changes, no ones runs would have to be removed, just moved to different category. And I could actually use faster vehicles without feeling guilty :slight_smile: Although, if it were up to me, then I'd probably have 5 columns, Drift, Pro Tuned, Pro Muscle, GT and LMP, but I realize that 5 columns might be too many if there aren't any players.
The reason for me using the skyline is because the person who previously was 1st used it,fight fire with fire mentality ,hey if you beat my lap time with which ever car you choose i'll come back with the same one :D
I also kinda agree with the reformatting part but I'm not the one in charge.If a mod decides to keep things as they are that's fine with me aswell.Might be too much work for a game that sadly get's little to no traction I dunno.
I'd love to drive both Skyline and the actual fastest car in the game (Audi R10 or Mazda 787B, depending on track). The pro tuned cars are really fun to drive, but putting Skyline in same class as Audi R10 is like using a tractor in a Formula 1 race.
I've done some runs with Impreza so far, but I guess it takes a while to verify.
Really though... mods, please make the level leaderboards car class dependant.
You are right, i would love to see more columns. It's unfair and impossible to set some records. And because of this this leaderboard is just showing which car is fastest not who is the fastest driver in each category. Of course i would leave the column with the fastest in any class because there are tracks where being fast is not enough.
@Kinoruu If you’re interested in driving a specific vehicle type, then you may message me about it. I’m not too keen on adding many more vehicle columns if they are largely going to stay empty. So if you are interested in driving a bunch for a specific vehicle class, we could add it.
I'm interested in open wheel and touring car class and i will be systematicly adding new records
It's working but no option to choose car. But it's not a problem for me. But because of my type of camera in videos some people can be confused which car a choosed to make run.
You can bypass the issue of having tons of columns by having the car/car class be a variable with disabled obsoletion. (Example here: https://www.speedrun.com/nfsu2/Sprint_Bayview_Plaza#No_NOSWCG )
Does my video need to have sound? i like to listen music but ideo can be taken off the yt if there will be music
I definitely think that the run should have sound if at all possible. You can always not record the music or listen directly from another source outside your PC. I remember there being a run or 2 in this leaderboard already without sound due to copyright, so it wouldn't be anything new. But for the sake of future run credibility and quality I would much advise for the runs to have proper game sounds. The runs will still be validated if you still insist on making runs that are silent.
As for the other thing, I'm aware that some tracks can't be driven with certain vehicles and I'll fix it by adding N/A on those squares once I find some time to figure out all the track-car combos that can't be done.
Ok i understand listening music from other device is good idea.
Thanks for your work and effort
Having checked through the game, I found that the only tracks that were not possible to be driven with specific vehicle categories were the Japanese uphill/downhill mountain races. The can only be driven with "Pro Tuned" vehicles and "Muscle Cars". So I added a N/A with a time of 0.001ms to those runs in IL.
