How to Change Key Bindings

This is a short video, teaching you how to use the .ini files to change your key bindings in Amid Evil. Please only change what keys preform what actions. Don't change anything in other .ini files or an other parameters about your inputs. That would be cheating.

Optimal settings for Speedrunning

So it's recently been brought to attention that there are some quirks about the game that can greatly hinder or improve your runs. They aren't required to post good times but they certainly help in achieving them. I'll update this any time something new like this comes out or if something gets fixed, like the attack speed bug.

FOV and Planet Jumping:
What FOV you have directly affects how planet jumping will feel. A high FOV results in an almost instantaneous planet jump, but you sacrifice an amount of max height achievable with a planet jump. A low FOV results in a really delayed planet jump, but will consistently get more height than that of a high FOV planet jump. You can test this out in several places in the hub world, many jumps are make-able with low FOV that high FOV cannot make.

FPS Cap and weapon attack speed:
The amount of time it takes for a weapon to complete a single cycle of animation is dependent on frame rate. Use the ingame setting to cap FPS to either 133, 121, or 61 for the fastest attack speeds. You need to be consistently hitting your frame rate cap to make sure you always have fast attack speed, otherwise it can vary between attacks.

This will also increase the amount of velocity you can generate while climbing with planet jumping or boosting behind you for speed, as a higher attack rate will equal faster planets being shot. Please note however that with accelerated attack speed comes a bug or two, biggest one being that a weapon can consume two mana for one shot. This is most apparent when planet jumping in IL's that have very little mana to give and takes all to get an optimal time.

Version Differences

Build 2007 and 2008 are optimal because of changes introduced in later versions I list below

Build 2012 - Reduced damage on star of torment soul mode slightly.
Build 2046 - Weapon system changed to be frame-rate independent.
Build 2055 - RT Waterfall demo level added to main game (Lost Falls)
Build 2172 - Enemy counts on most level fixed (all the other versions also fix some spawns but this is the version that should be used for 100% runs)

Earlier versions are Early Access so they arent allowed on the leaderboard unless it is an IL that is not advantaged on the Early Access version (for example 100% runs on a EA level that has less enemies than in the full release etc.)

Video about bhopping and movement quirks

Made this video to showcase how well bunnyhopping can preserve speed after planet jumping and what kind of differences there are between max and default FOV for planet jumping. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hiXPQH63nec

You can also consult this picture to learn how to bind multiple keys to the same action for ease of things like bunnyhopping. Config files are found in Appdata/Local https://puu.sh/zLomM.png
