How do you do the original release? I was trying to figure that out. There's a beta for the first release but it was broken and wouldn't start up for me
Can you specify the changes related to speedrunning this game? Comparing the update from 5 months ago and the update from 1 month ago? What are the changes? Does it effect speedrunning this game? etc etc I will look into it myself this week and note it down to make sure.
I feel just deleting 14 runs is not the way to go, and if they roll out a new update tomorrow, we have to wipe ALL runs.
If you could tell us what the changes are, and in which way the current update effects the runs, that would help a lot.. I am familiar with this game but I do not know every update change.
If it is clear what the differences are, I'll start splitting them like LoL: https://www.speedrun.com/lol#Tutorial
This way we can still keep track of older runs!
"What are the changes? Does it effect speedrunning this game? etc etc "
A lot of room changed (the entire LCZ for example), generation also changed, KeyCard spawn genreration (in the EZ, in SCP-372 etc..) have change etc.. too many things for me, in fact.
I'll do some research into timing differences soon. I personally feel like the only major change (if any) will end up being how Light Containment Zone has changed. If they continue to make major updates to this game's routing, it might be a good idea to start separating runs by their versions, and making past versions "Misc Categories"; almost like competitive seasons.
Edit: Comparing my current Offline Escape% run PB (which I got before they did the major overhaul) to the current 1st place for Offline Escape% (which was obtained AFTER the major overhaul), I can already see that we both leave LCZ at very similar times (1st place leaves 5 seconds before me). I think this is proof enough that the time spent in LCZ isn't major.
Yes but we could have done better 5 month ago before the LCZ remake." it might be a good idea to start separating runs by their versions, and making past versions "Misc Categories"; almost like competitive seasons."
Yes do a Fall 2017 to Winter 2018 end Winter 2018 to (An update that change several rooms) or something like that.
I added the version numbers on every run. The version number is based on submission date.. Please let me know if I edited a version wrong. I guess it is more clear now who run on what version
Especially for Nuke% It's nearly impossible to beat on current version because of Fac. Manager keycard doesn't spawn in the containers in entrance zone. I think the runs should be split from when fac. manager cards did spawn in the containers vs when they didn't. I don't know what update changed that.
So, I looked through the changelogs and couldn't find this specific change. I guess it is safe to say the last major update was 7.0.0. And I am fine with splitsing the versions. Older than 7.0.0 will be in a different category (misc). (Maybe even older than 7.4.0, but that's up to the community)
But I'll wait with splitsing till I know what @Lagloyavich thinks about it.
Also in terms of new categories, I have a few ideas.
-
Scientist Escape/Nuke% - Overview: Follows the same rules as regular Escape/Nuke% except with scientist instead of Dboys. Thoughts: I'm pretty sure you can change your role in the console or in the game config, if so I think it would still be very similar to Regular Escape/Nuke% however instead of getting the same 8 map layout seeds you can instead get those along with random spawns
-
MTF/Chaos Nuke% - Overview: MTF/Chaos would have to travel down to Light upgrade their card, arm the nuke, then activate the nuke. Thoughts: I'm a fan of this one because it's basically just a flip on the regular Nuke%
Note: I don't actually know if this is possible this is just speculation if this does become possible I'd love to see these become categories. Let me know what you think.
2 months without message wow ^^. Well, in the end I did not manage to exceed 2 minutes (in time) and I lost my hard drive, sad. And you guys should add 8.0.0 in update. And we should think about new categories !
Ok i did the new WR YESSS !!!!!! Oh and, I do not want to make the annoying guy, but it would be possible that I pass moderator to judge clips submitted? I am active so I could often confirm the clips! It's just a proposal, you guys can totally refuse.
Sorry for the inactivity I don't think we need more moderators, I get emailed any time a run is submitted, but Seydie usually approves them before I see them anyways haha
As for @Dank_Dukz's suggestion- there is a configuration file where all these server settings are stored; Seed, Starting Team, Nuke Time, etc. My only concern is there is no way to prove if someone is using a set seed or a random seed, and for that reason I chose not to do anything with it.
@MrGamerStudios1 We need a rule set people can agree on for Online Escape. It's a controversial category in my opinion because you could very easily have an advantage over another runner if you have friends in the server.
Hiya! Just a heads up that verifier applications are open for Secret Lab. If you wish to apply, you can find the form here:
