Additional categories for games (like Mods or DLCs) / Admin-question

Hey there,

in our game "Alien: Isolation" (speedrun.com/ai) we've got downloadable content that we're running seperately. At the moment, it is categorised under "Level Leaderboard" because there is no other space for it.

Is it possible to have an additional main category (besides "Full-game Leaderboard" and "Level Leaderboard") that could be called "DLCs"? It's about visibility and proper order especially for new runners. These DLCs are also too small to have an own category besides the main game (category here: as in speedrun.com/xxx). This could also be interesting for a lot of other games, I'm sure.

Thx very much for your site! I love to have all these runs in one page and a community for exchange.

You can either use "Mods/Rom Hacks" or make another game. Well the DLCs on Alien:Isolation, even if they are short, are part of the gameplay (like a mappack) and extend the story. Maybe you can put it in as a full-game category since it can be considered as another goal of the main game.

qckdth: We want to support multiple nameable "Full-game Leaderboard" and "Level Leaderboard" units eventually. This is not currently supported as you point out. I think the way you're handling it right now is probably best under the current system. A Rom Hack/Mod should be considered a separate game unit, not a subunit, and this will be more clear in an update that is being worked on.
