Submitting runs for Modded Characters in SRB2!

LITERALLY DISREGARD ALL OF THIS WE NOW HAVE CATEGORY EXTENSIONS LEADERBOARD WHICH INCLUDES MODDED CHARACTERS LET'S GO REDDIT WE DID IT

Hello everyone!

It's been a bit of time since we expressed interest in getting a leaderboard set up and now we have a way to try and bring this to light with a mock leaderboard which we will convert if it gets enough interest in the community. I will be telling you all how to submit to that leaderboard now.

First thing's first we want to have all the modded characters of interest in one place so first check that your character of interest has been submitted here Character Submission and if you don't see them then make sure to submit using this link Submission link

Keep in mind that we REQUIRE the link for the board page where the modded character resides otherwise we will not add them to any leaderboard.

After you've made sure that you have submitted make sure you have this custom gamedata file saved to your SRB2 folder and load it whenever you do a run custom gamedata I am not entirely sure if this is required to be loaded all the time but it doesn't cause any issues if you do this.

Now that you have the custom gamedata you will be able to run the game in Marathon Mode and also Record Attack but you will want to make a copy of your "gamedata.dat" file and rename the copy: custom_gamedata.dat The reason for this change is to make sure you don't have to play through the entirety of the game again to unlock all the levels.

Now that everything is hopefully installed we will have submissions of your run sent to this link Runs and you can submit either a Full Game run which MUST be recorded and MUST be in Marathon Mode (In Game Timer) or you can submit individual levels in which case in the field that says "time" make sure you clarify that it is an Individual Level speedrun. However, the individual level also have a strict rule and MUST be accompanied by a .lmp file. These .lmp files should be saved somewhere like a Google Docs folder and then linked into the submission. If you have multiple lump files then be sure to send them all at once to avoid repeat submissions.

Once you install the mods listed previously and have at least loaded Record Attack as any character you will have a directory that looks like: SRB2 2.2\replay\custom_gamedata This directory will have ".lmp" files in it. You want the file that says "best time" for the run of your choosing (if you have any issues with it then check out this forum post where I explain what the map numbers mean) forum help

Once we have a few additions I will make sure that the submissions have been made visible both here and on the Discord server. If you do want to help with the discussion then make sure to head over to our Discord and make sure to join in on the discussion and ask any questions where necessary.

@SparkleTron Great! Due to some stuff happening rn I've not been actively updating the list but don't let it keep you from submitting, it definitely helps to get as many submissions as possible to know that it has the requirement from the community.

Alright. Hope you don't mind if I resubmit my first one anyway just in case I did it incorrectly the first time.
