SpainRemoving loading times from PC games that use RTA is a common thing so it would be for the best if someone can try to do it. No IGT needs to be involved with this topic whatsoever imo.
I'll put it simple, the only thing that script would need to do is pausing the timer when it knows the game is loading, then resume it. All this is RTA based still, so the start and finish of the timer remains the same and it won't affect the current times.
Since loading times can be a huge factor in this game and RE6, I'm looking for people that can develop a load remover script for RE5/6 so we can make anyone, regardless of his PC hardware, run these games competitively.
If you know how to do this or know someone who can do it, please let him know about the idea :D
It's been a while since I played the game so I can't tell exactly which ones we usually use for speedrunning. I can guess it's all about the maxed out weapon damage and stamina recovery ones.
What run? I think I accepted a run of yours a while ago :/
Glad doorskip is back. There was no real reason to ban it in the first place.
I think 1.6.1 with the Livesplit IGT is going to be good enough to run this legitimately IMO. We need more people to test in different kinds of hardware of course but just knowing that the IGT lies way behind RTA in this game (as it should be) gives me hope of stability.
For a game with only 4 main categories this looks much better. Great job!
I was thinking of running sometime CVX on PCSX2 to practice (because of savestates) so this will be great to test.
Well, I think it's a bad habit if you start accepting runs like that. What if, for example, that runner gets the any% WR with a cam recording? Would you accept it? Traditionally, coming from the old wikia, we only accepted "decent" recordings of the game footage, and no music annoyance in the background.
The worst thing in particular was not the cam recording, but the audio of the video was just random music, no ingame audio whatsoever.
I hate that speedrunning is somewhat behind a paywall at times, but we need some minimums don't you think?
The whole purpose of the initial voting was for a Dolphin-specific category. Wii Bootloader is welcome, and can coexist in this same category if you compare the times vs other bootloader runs.
Yeah IL runners are the most experienced so far. I would learn stuff about this game by them.
The rules for this game are really barebones at the moment but I can recall that tactical resets were not "legit" in this game back in the wikia days, but I can't remember why exactly.
Sure bootloader will be allowed too, makes sense if it's OK in RE3 to have Dolphin/Bootloader at the same level. If you already have runs done on there be sure to submit them to the test leaderboard too :)
I think he's referring to GCN emulators on Wii. As far as I know there's only Dolphin for PC.
We don't know yet if this will be ever popular or even stable for most of the people. But for now, go ahead and start submitting your runs on Dolphin.
Doing this is better than doing nothing after the voting and previous discussion about putting the category up or not. Having listed runs done on that emulator will help to analyze if it can be competitive with an specific release of Dolphin.
I can do 4 and 6 (probably coop with a friend).
