Hello, would it be possible to open a category for the new 0.4.0 version? It got a new boss among other thing. I would suggest allowing to use an already completed save and start at first level rather than having the penny story each time. Timer would end when the (ugly) dead boss animation shows up.
I’m starting the training. Did 1h30 on my first full game run but on some of the last levels I took 15 minutes ^^ I only optimised the first ten for now.
heres some stuff that i wrote down
SuperTux, at times, is a challenging game, so you should be able to make up as much time as you can.
At the start of levels, press space to skip the black screen.
At the end of levels, press escape to exit faster
this run is extremely unoptimised, however, the first person to beat my PB (currently about 43 minutes, i will submit an actual time soon) with their email attached will receive a video which will make nolok no more of a threat that a pair of sandals.
just submitted my first run!, it was really bad though, sub 40 easily possible and sub 35 looks reasonable, accept soon/mod me
Hello, sorry about the wait, I was on holidays and had no internet for a week. I see someone has accepted your run already :-) I just posted mine.
I do intend to talk about this speedrun on ST forums but I wanted to publish a run first :-) (And my first run was 1h30, I could not publish this ^^)
Just noticed you started your timer before the introduction instead of after (you can exit the introduction and go to the first level, the timer should start at that moment as explained in the rules). So you can remove almost a minute to your time. Please tell me if the rules are not clear enough
Oh, and you did not use a fresh profile so you might have started with more than 100 coins. We can’t check this as your split tool is above the coin count and we can’t see it. Try to avoid this for your next run.
@Dugglez: you need to start with a fresh profile, starting with a big tux is giving you an advantage, and you probably started with some coins again, we can’t see your coin count. Select a new profile in supertux options before a run, and when you are out of profiles you need to delete them in the supertux config folder. And you do not need to time the introduction, just skip it and start the timer at the first level.
I tried to clarify the rules and added a guide explaining this. If you want to make a video I can add a link to it in the guide.
Do you guys believe ST and STK are in the same game series? maybe we should combine them into a "SuperTux" series. (And definitely not because I want mod)
Also, 2 other questions.
- Can I be mod?
- Can I upload my runs with just splits? This would make it much easier instead of every failed run having to restart (recording) again.
No, for me these games are deninitely not a game serie. (Otherwise most FLOSS games would end up in the same game serie as a lot of them use Tux. And Super Mario Kart and Super Mario Bross are not in the same serie either.)
- Why do you want to be a mod?
- And I’d be against accepting run without video, as it prevents other players from seeing how you acheive such a time and re-use the same techniques.
I intend to go sub-22 at some point, but first I’m working on a Tool Assisted Speedrun, which should beat 19 minutes. I’ll open a topic about it when it’s ready.
- Instead of regurgitating meaningless spiel, I'll just say the actual reason I wish to be mod: it makes runs easier to submit instead of waiting a few days.
FLOSS? What's that?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_and_open-source_software#FLOSS Sorry, I thought it was more common.
There, if it’s that important to you, you are now mod. Just did 23:27, I will submit once I manage to upload the video.
