^ cool beans, hardware works bomb for me

Oh quick question. If For runs, do we need to use Software or Hardware Mode? Because Software is broken for me at least on my JPC version it seems like it. Allways gnaws on me about the capcom.avi file in horr/jpn/movie dir :/

I will swing myself onto this and test it too, my specs are mediocre so it should give a good result for medium pc spec users (that the way to say it? :D)

Intel i5-4460 @ 3,2 GHz Quad-Core nVidia GTX 745 @ 4 GB 8 GB DDR3 Ram Running Windows 10 x64 structure

Will edit this post with results tonight

So since 29 and 31 are perfectly possible @bre3zeR I'd say we should go ahead and add the cat after you (and I, but I do it slower :D) tested it enough and see if people like to run it, that would be my approach. First we need to see (and proof) that we can beat every single mission with the subsistence ruleset in order to make it happen =)

@dekuking: Well, I mean, you can use the standard loadout and stuff, and if you abide by the rules it should be finde... but it's gonna be a huge point of arguments. He had this, and he had that, maybe that gives an advantage yadda yadda. I could live with it tho, yet the mod forces everything and everyone would have the same thing going in and stuff.

no fulton no chopper sounds good to me. Tried the first mission with the below ruleset, I'd say no intentional choppers, if you can exfiltrate the hotzone on foot you should do just that. Some missions need you to put someone on a chopper tho, mostly giving you a landing zone itself, so we have to use those. Here's my current ruleset I devised:

ALL Missions Subsistence Ruleset, meaning:

• Empty Loadout (mod based)
• OSP Weapon Procurement (mod based)
• Olive Drab Duds
• Standard Bionic Arm
• NO Gear
• NO Buddy support
• NO Airstrikes
• NO reflex mode
• NO chicken hat
• NO Fulton
• NO intentional Helicopter, Hotzone exfil on foot!
• NO Helicopter Decoy
• NO Helicopter Re-Routing (if missions asks for one, use the game's hotzone!)
• EXCEPTIONS ONLY if not possible otherwise!

Also: How do you guys want to handle the boss fights? Beating Sahelanthropus or the Metallic Archaea mission is, well, impossible without as much as a rocket launcher or rifle. Or can you CQC Sahelanthropus to death? Kappa

If we sort the boss thing out, I think the above ruleset is basically... go in without anything, get out whilst beating the mission... Any objections?

I fully agree on the real meaning of a subsistence run and I would totally implement a category for the mod, BUT we do have to find a way to make it accessible to everyone or split PC / Console alltogether (we had the discussion allready because of the PC customization glitch...)

as much as I want to play subsistence in its true meaning, the same amount of thought has to go towards the leaderboards if we introduce it. If the leaderboard will say "pc game only, use mod XYZ" I think it would work out, but the first ones to object later on will be the console players that are not able to play that particular category. Having said that I know how many of the runners would appreciate the category, yet Konami did not implement it and the "glorious pc master race" is once again the only group of people that will be able to fully customize their gaming experience.

I can agree on not using the fulton at all, that I can live with.

On a serious note: The max readines is bomb, I like the mod though never used it myself so far, but imma get it and start a new save or something. As said, I am down to run this myself but I don't want to limit the category to only us PC players :(

EDIT:

I'd like to aid in testing it, I will start playing the Mod starting tomorrow, backed up my save file and deleted the original so I will try and complete the game with the subsistence Ruleset! Wish me luck, fellow Diamond Dogs and Motherbase brothers and sisters <3

For the Sub% category we could just go for the following ruleset from my perspective (I did some missions on youtube for that matter testing it out):

• 1 Star AM MRS-4
• 1 Star WU.S Pistol
• 1 Star Fulton (since we gotta have it for NG full game walks)
• Standard Bionic Arm (evolution grade as you wish)
• Camo: Olive Drab or NAKED (for the extra kick, y'know)
• NO Support Weapons (you can use the magazine!)
• NO Items (not even a box!)
• NO Buddy support
• NO Chopper Redirection (only use it when specifically needed by the mission)
• NO reflex mode
• NO chicken Hat
• NO kills

Arguable topics:

• Total Stealth (pretty hard tbh, as long as you can't call in a decoy chopper, would make for some cool approaches tho fosho)
• S-Rank

This way there is no need for a mod that console users can not use and keeps the game vanilla. Off course, if there is something to be destroyed that can be destroyed by the Rifle it makes it a tid bit easier than the real subsistence, but like this we can unite all platforms. We could, however, make a "Infinite-Heaven%" category just for PC players in that regard, makes it even harder.

That would be my suggestion. And I'd be down to run it like that. I want for everybody to be able to participate and using a mod would totally kick all console players in the groin :(

Here's a video of me "sub%-ing" "Where do the bees sleep?" with these rules, but also not even using the magazine. It's not too good time-wise and it does not meet the cat rules I stated above for S-Rank and Peacenik, but nonetheless I did complete the mission (which is in fact one of the hardest in the game)

I found that out last night :D Yet the centering does come in handy when searching for ways and stuff since you can basically look up front, at least most of the time. The Subway system was horrible. Why do you have to sorta like "lure" a train to arrive by nearly killing yourself? Konami Pls Kappa

But yeah, I started figuring stuff out as you suggested Liv, thanks for leading me to that conclusion :) After I finished my Playthrough Imma go ahead and steal your strat like you stole mine on Phantom Limbs at first :P See you in the future runs <3

At the moment I got everything mapped with a picture I found that said A button does this, B does this. But it was for a prog similar to XPadder so yes, my triggers wont work, as do the L3 and R3 buttons. But I got around it, all I am currently lacking is the Right stick to look around, a button for Supplies and one for Zoom, of which I did not make use in my 30 minutes of play testing. I will, however, map those to keyboard buttons via XPadder now so I can use em regardless :)

Heya, since you guys are running SH3 on PC I wanted to know how you guys mapped your controllers?

I am using a X360 wired pad for PC and tried configuring it but I don't have a clue if it was me but even tho showing me it accepted the buttons it did not use them properly in-game itself. Maybe someone that uses the X360 pad too can either post screens of their config in-game or from the Config tool pretty please?

I wanna be a big boy and re-play as well as, maybe, give a few runs a shot, but I don't wanna use the keyboard for tank-control games tbh :( gimme a helping hand here, will ya? :)

I like to differ. Consoles and PC are not that different. Let's just implement that nobody is allowed to use the companion app and let's ban the costumization glitches for good measurement (because you know, 100 round silenced rocket launchers are kinda lame Kappa )

In all other fields Console versions and PC Version are exactly the same time-wise. After all, console players have been able to beat my phantom limbs time numerous times and maybe will again now that I got my 2:39 on it ¤shrugs¤

Since I started speedrunning I disregarded glitchy games that exceed the good amount (a few in my head) by producing runs that are one big string of glitches. So far the horseback glitch is fine for me, if the Sahelanthropus mission sticks with the customization glitch that's fine for me too, I'll just not run the mission then.

Ah ^^ which one do you use? Maybe you got better looking ones :D I thought about the Beta Security Reskin, all white ^^

Just out of curiosity, can you do a full run with the tofu skin and post it anyway? ;D

Allthough I am expecting a diplomatic answer on this one, I'll better just ask about it before starting discussions about runs I'll submit.

I am currently using two reskin mods for the PC version of Remaster, one making the standard Jill uniform original-RE1-Blue and one giving the RE3 outfit a bit more colour.

Allthough I KNOW that the Hitbox is not altered and only the colors of the costumes have been changed or, in fact, fixed, I wanted to ask if I am allowed to use them in my runs (please?). It makes it all the more enjoyable!

It's basically just eliminating the need to use the butterfly emblem forever tbh. I played a few missions with "fake quiet" and it's the same as ever :) I don't see many Missions that would need quiet for a run, but you never know, and a lot of players lose her without knowing better.

Better safe than sorry tho, if anyone objects for obvious reasons that's fine by me o/

So, I've been playing MGSV until the point where Quiet vanishes into the night with a sad ¤poof¤ and a sore feeling left for us. But rejoice, even if your save contains her leaving, you can use this mod to get her back: http://www.nexusmods.com/phantompain/mods/4/?

I don't know if it is neccessary for any runs to have her, but if so and you don't wanna replay the story from scratch just for having her again and having to keep the butterfly emblem just to keep her, there you go.

Happy Running Boys'n'Girls <3

P.S. Snawk, I'm coming for your Phantom Limbs time, just you watch >:) P.P.S. I love quiet <3

So seeing First and Second Ending I can guess a bit but there are no rules given in the LB itself so...

... is any% done with all missions as well? Even those dreaded Extreme/Subsistence/Perfect Stealth ones that are basically Replay missions?

... how can I backup my current save file if I want to do a good New Game run? I know I could very well go for NG+ at all times, but it would be nice to do an NG run for the restrictions of weaponry, good use of GMP and doing important side ops to progress the story missions! :)

Not many questions, just wanted to clarify with you guys,

much love, Pax

I keep doing deplyoment in my downtime to keep it on a low, but keep in mind that if you do a deployment mission and go on a mission for yourself, new steps against your methods will be taken, resulting in... drum roll... more deployment missions :D

My thing so far is to keep a mission going by allways restarting it even in the result screen by just closing the game, reloading a checkpoint and then restarting. This way you can play the same mission with the same dudes and the same times etc. over and over again IF you are sattisfied with the positioning of the guards etc. etc.

So it's 50% RNG to get a good combo on mission start and 50% pre-work to fulton or destroy anti-air emplacements and such.

Though I haven't read all posts right now, I want to throw in a few thoughts on that "why do you want to emulate instead of using the hardware itself" debate part, coming from me, a cheap-ass poor student:

Given any version of the game I can choose between PC, PSX, PSP, N64, Nintendo GC and Sega Dreamcast (not counting in the PS2 that can run PSX games as well).

What do you need to run any of these games?

PC-Version: A PC, a recording prog and a prog that renders your video out. Console Versions: A capable PC, The according Console, A capture card/device, cables, a recording prog and a prog that renders your video out. Emulated Versions: A PC, a recording prog and a prog that renders your video out.

If I (PC version over here btw, but I dislike the fact that the pc graphics look like something a licker ate and shit out again) want to run any of the console versions, sure as hell I am going to emulate it because I don't have the time or money to aquire the console, a capture card or even a Haupage HDPVR and a physical form of the game that is probably worth more than the Haupauge depending on wether you find one of said old discs in a yard sale or gotta get it off someone selling it for ¤cheap¤ on Amazon or ebay.

Given that fact, I would like the idea of having each version as both physical AND emulator version so we can pretty much sattisfy everyone that is wanting to run RE, empty categories or not. For me this whole thing is all about accessibility, and if there will be categories with "scrubby runs" as WR's in them.

That's all from my cheap-ass perspective. I still don't get why such things are such a "oi instead of your opinion, why not eat ours first??" type of discussion. Let's test dolphin (best would be someone with an actual GC + capable PC (obviously not me)) and have some fun, instead of making this a fucking chore.

inb4 anyone: I still don't care about "you have other ways to run this game DansGame" arguments. People can go by bike if they want to, I won't force them to drive in a car or fly in a plane.

Given that I am currently looking into running PSX Emulator which takes a bunch of time to complete, I'd give the GC Emu a try if there is a cat for it :)

I am interested in that, would be on board running it!

Having handed in a RE2 PSX/Emu run right now I can confirm that ePSXe works fine with RE2 with OpenGL2 plugins and the standard 1001 bios. No errors, no freezes, typical slow scene transitions.

I used PSXfin 1.13 testwise which works good as well, only thing for me was that I could not stretch it to 720p like I wanted it to be without measuring the window with a screen recorder first.

Both emulators run the games quite good.
