Absence of Karnak Demo kind of disappoints me, especially when there are couple of runs... I'd like to see it in IL list, the legendary historical level for Serious gaming.

The Dark Island is exclusive community-made level pack to Gold Edition, although it was included into the Gold Edition by Croteam, so it is some kind of "official" thing here, therefore IMO there should be a speedrun sub-category/leaderboards of this obscure episode/levels.

More info: Serious Sam: Gold Edition | Serious Sam Wiki | Fandom

I just wanted to remind that this ultra-obscure content actually exists and moreover IS chosen by Croteam. It might be a good thing to put to the miscellaneous section or category extensions or to expand the IL-leaderboards list.

Example of the runs:

Finally I fixed that terrible issue, thanks to Tadex's setup: His setup will probably help you as well. There's you also can find something I hope: https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Blood_II:_The_Chosen

To run this game in a windowed mode I'm using Alt + Enter hotkey and then Win + Up Arrow to adjust window position.

There are two versions of the game and this is quite interesting discovering:

Version 1.0 features:

  • Damage boosting, which is kind of interesting. That aspect changes already planned health'n'ammo management (in pre-Zero HP Glitch runs) resulting in complex of time saving.

  • You can duplicate weapons and ammo with the same way as in Deus Ex. Hit your drop key rapidly and here you go. Also sometimes game gives you two weapons even if you picked up only one.

  • No "Cabal Safehouse" skip, you can't clip through that gate and you have to trigger the cutscene on the roof of hotel.

  • Zero HP Glitch doesn't work in this version.

Version 2.1.233 features:

  • The main feature of this version is Zero HP Glitch, which ruins the entire game. It allows you be fully invulnerable and invisible to enemies and move fast in places where you have to crouch. To get this, frame where death animation starts must be skipped. Easiest way to skip it - making a frame perfect quick save (game skips couple of frames then). Also you have to receive damage from physical entities: explosion, flare, laser or any other death trigger. It works in any game mode by the way. Glitch was discovered years ago by many people in Blood Community but was never used in runs before me. To make it more clear, that glitch presented in my and @hipp0cat runs (UPD 2021: these runs are in Latest subcategory now).

  • You can clip through the gate in "Cabal Safehouse" level and skip hotel section.

  • There is no weapon duping.

  • There is no damage boosting.

Demo versions:

Demo version consist of two levels: Center for Disease Management and Movin' On Up. Also, demo has two (!!!) versions: 1.0 and 1.0a (Latest). The only difference between them is that v1.0 is slower than v1.0a: for some reason Caleb's speed differs significantly, so "Any% Demo" has subcategories as well as main categories.

I've just noticed that game work differently on different OS, like load takes less than one second on Windows 7 while one or two seconds on Windows 10 and loads isn't consistent. I think if I could perform my Gabriella% run on Windows 7 it shall be sub30 already, but now I have Windows 10 and I have no choice. The only problem is that there's no load removal or autosplitter script as well, I'm not coder. Is there any scripts for timer for games which uses same engine? Blood II uses first version of LithTech however. Also we always can remove loads manually.

There are two free GTA demos available on official site: https://www.rockstargames.com/gta/extras/demos.html

First demo "Hot Bitch Teaser"; there are three versions for different softwares. This demo icludes Gangsta Bang level with four phone missions. You have only six minutes for playing, level ends when timer runs out. Moreover, you can reach target score using car stacking and make sure that level passing is impossible thing, because red marker won't appear. So we can easily forget about that demo.

And second demo - ECTS Competition Version. It's actually San Andreas Tequila Slammer level with timed and a bit changed Phone 3 Mission 1. Demo ends after mission completing. It would be nice to see that category in misc section at full-game leaderboards.

It's hard to run this version on modern PC's, so here you can download fully working version:

Thanks zirkoni88 www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZGpR6R0qcY for help!

I'm already have a run of it.

RussiaTarakan30004 years ago

Yea, I already have "No Major Glitches" run (first level of the game).

So, what is this in my understanding:

"No Major Glitches%" means that "Car Parking Strategy" and "Nine-da-nine Mayhem (999999999$ in San Andreas)" is banned here, but "Getting-in-a-car Animation Skip" (for example) is okay.

"Glitchless%" means a ban on all of them. It's not allowed to use any of the above glitches.

Tequila Slammer is also under a question, it is allowed to skip it I guess, because it is actually not a glitch, it's a map issue.

IMO, it would be nice to add NMG% instead of Glitchless%. Ruin your runs just by accidentally holding left/right keys in the moment when you get in a vehicle is a shit, right? In the other side, Glitchless% is an absolutely clean walkthrough.

(I'm sure my english is bad, sorry for that (if so)).

My game doesn't work properly, so I can't play. Should I use community fixes? It is allowed? (for any%)
