This post is cross-posted on Discord. TL;DR: migration of a lot of runs today, sorry for the notifications! Hi everyone, As discussed on Discord several times since last November, i am in the process of moving most of the runs from existing full-game categories to individual levels categories and hopefully also category extensions. This will avoid polluting the full-game leaderboard with runs that do not actually cover the full game, will make the statistics page more clear, and will enable more flexibility for adding new subcategories in the future. Later today (January 19), around 1 PM UTC, i will proceed to the first part of this migration, that is to say introducing individual levels. More than 600 runs will be moved to brand new leaderboards divided into four levels. Unfortunately, in this case, SPEEDRUN.COM does not provide a way to directly move this runs just by editing them, even for game moderators, so the only way to move these runs is to delete them and resubmit them elsewhere. Obviously, this will not be done fully by hand, but partially automatically with the help of a dedicated bot. More details are given below. Migration plan What does it change for you? History conservation Potential issues Notifications Fingers crossed! |

Update on the status of the migration It appears that SPEEDRUN.COM is buggy and that i can't do the third step automatically without errors. I'm currently exploring a way of splitting the step 3 into two sub-steps: the first would be automatic and the second unfortunately manual. Therefore it will take much more time than expected. |

The migration is over and the Discord bot has been updated! The whole automatic part of the migration was planned to take 16min 30s, however i discovered 2 SPEEDRUN.COM bugs, so i had to find and implement 2 workarounds and to manually edit each of the 619 runs that were moved. Therefore it took me about 7 hours Sorry again for all the notifications and feel free to tell me if you see any error! |

This post is cross-posted on Discord. TL;DR: last migration of runs today, don't forget to subscribe to the new category extensions! Hi everyone, Last week, we finally unlocked "Category extensions". Category extensions are an extra place for runs that do not fit in the typical categories. As said in the original post of this thread and as discussed on Discord, there are still some runs in the full-game leaderboard that i'm precisely planning to move to the new category extensions: missions and races. This done, since individual levels runs have already been moved away from the full-game leaderboard, there will be only full-game runs left there 🥳. Thus, today (February 3), around 1 PM UTC, i will do the second and last part of this migration. This time, only around 80 runs will be moved with the help of the bot. The migration plan is about the same as last time, but this time i don't need to look for ways to work around the bugs and limitations of SPEEDRUN.COM, so it should be much faster Again, you will likely get a bunch of notifications, so sorry for the inconvenience. This is the last time, i promise! What does it change for you? |
