Hi, I’m new to speedrunning and I have a couple questions. First, how do you time your runs to the milisecond? Or do you just make up a number? I can’t find a way to time more precise than seconds. I play on iPhone. Then, where do you talk about glitches? I suppose i make a new thread. Last, do the speedruns for forest and district null include the previous sections or are they solely that chapter?Thanks.

Hi there. I am new too, but I think i can help ya.

1. I dunno. Try put milisecond on 0. I dunno.
2. Welp, there is no glitches yet. So if you find them, show us how to do it. 3.This is what i don't know.

I would also like to know how people time runs in mobile. I’m in iPhone and all I can think of is recording then finding the time between when you press start and when you finish

I can answer your questions.

1. If you want, you can edit a timer into your videos to have milliseconds in it to be more precise.
2. If you find glitches, that would go into any% category. Also tell me if you do find any.
3. No. You don’t start from the beginning. You start at the first levels of those sections. If you have any more questions, ask me.

Yeah, so if we’re gonna get precise. What is the actual starting point if you do the first level. Is it the moment the pause button shows up at the top right corner or when you make your first jump or something.

Yea, you could say it starts when the pause button shows up. I mainly made that rule so that people whose cutscenes load longer would be at the same advantage as the faster loading people.

Hey y’all I found a glitch on lvl 4 I’ll send a vid

There's this website that you can use to time the youtube videos, i think it would be pretty good for retiming runs, it only works on PC tho http://retime.mcbe.wtf/

So it’s like YT frame timer

yes

In response to Jeanstro, mods have to retime runs to obtain milliseconds In response to nightAlive, you can use this one https://mk8dx-speedrun-timer.azurewebsites.net/ which works on mobile devices too

My question is: are the runs actually retimed? the milliseconds are a bit random and they seem to have been taken out from the timers which give inaccurate times and milliseconds that dont match the 60 fps times (.x17, .x34, .x50, .x67, .x83 and .x00)

Hey again. Do we have rules about when to start the timer on runs? Records have been getting pretty tight and miliseconds matter now. So if one starts the timer at their first jump and one starts it the moment the pause button appears, the first person has an advantage. Mods can retime runs from the starting point that is decided.

KKntucara: no, I don’t think that all runs are retimed.

@JeanStro I try to make it so that the time starts when the first few pixels of the map load.

@JeanStro Ive realised and in some of the descriptions of my runs like level 3 or level 8 Ive mentioned that runs werent retimed (level 3 now has been but not level 8 ) and in fact my level 9 run was submitted to 2 categories and retimed differently in both cases.

If possible Id like a moderator to contact me and tell me why my level 10 runs have been rejected for “being cut” and what cuts they mean exactly since the video isnt cut.

So when I was watching your video, I’m pretty sure you made an editing mistake in your video because out of the blue, the video switched to a different level. Also, for the kill all enmities category, the timer stops when you kill the last enemy in that level. That is why your runs are timed differently.

Its no mistake, the video is made from several IL runs. The only cuts are at 1:28 and at 0:42 but you can still see everything needed. Me entering the level, the level loading, the run and the end screen. Those cuts take place before the beginning of the run and after the run is done

Can you send me a link to your level 10 video.
