Timer start&end

start when you hit the play button => alot of videos start in the run without a playbutton.

end: espacially death% "and ends when the photo of your death pop!" from the rules. the picture needs 4 or 5 sec to appear, after you died. most records are under 1 sec and that should be impossibile!

and alot of videos for prove are missing, so i cant check them myself

i'll direct @bogdan_mkd to this thread, i agree totally but theres not alot i can do considering i wasn't the one who set up this board

@Sizzyl too (verified runs)

alright well no one else is coming so i guess im gonna step in, runs that are missing proof just means the video was deleted, it was still verified at one point so thats all that matters i guess. which videos dont hit the play button ? and for the death% thing if you could, could you show me a video of this

Can't find a video without the playbutton, but they are there for sure^^

that is death% (beside the fact its highway and not countryside^^) Hitting play at 0:08 and the picture appears at 0:13 so it should be a 4-5sec run according to the rules and not 0.5 (not really sure where it starts and where it ends) To be honest death% is quite stupid for hillclimb racing because it's no skill or sth needed and if you do it right, the difference in highscores is like 0.1s. dont think its good to speedrun^^

and I'm fine with no video avaiable.

i've went ahead and moved it to highway, here's what i'll do, i'll go through and retime all the death% correctly when i can, im not sure we're gonna remove it

Thx for you effort.

United States

@jozi1123 well i was gonna start with retiming all the death% runs when i found that

just looking at the first run of death% which is the wr in countryside 640 ms imediately i see a run that starts the recording late and ends early and is technically invalid due to being unretimable

looking at the second submission 830 ms contryside death% starts properly but timing ends way to soon, they end it before the "photo of your death pop!" which makes the run valid but retimed wrong

looking at the 3rd submission he starts recording way too late for the run to be valid, he does show the "photo of your death pop!" but timing doesn't end there so that run is invalid and retimed wrong

so 2/3 of the top 3 death% runs for countryside are invalid and 3/3 are retimed wrong

i've went ahead and retimed from the first frame of the goal's text on screen once you land in the level to when the popup screen apears on all of the top 3 submission for death% countryside, to test to see if it loads at a consistant time but unfortunely for the same reason the wr is invaliid i cannot test this on the 1rst place run but after retiming this on the 2nd place and 3rd place run i do believe that the popup screen has appears consistantly so that means the timing methods in the rules are consistant so we can keep them

i would still like to retime all the runs but before i do that i would like to go through all the submissions and reject all the runs that are invalid to clean up this board, because this board is just a bit of mess right now

i've went ahead and rejected all the death% runs that don't follow the rules by not showing the play button being pressed, not having timestamps, not showing the death message popup shown, and video deletions.

i'll retime the runs later but not right now

ok wen't ahead and retimed all the death% runs at 30 fps the way they should have been retimed, im gonna see if i can retime all the runs for every category but that's gonna take some time and i don't know when im going to but i'll try
