Even from people like me who never speedran GTA and only played it casually? Cmon.

I think that everyone in GTA community (and maybe even outsiders like me) should start grinding this supposedly impossible 9:26, or whatever the time was, in order to make some strong evidence, otherwise we will probably never see an end to this matter.

Q1: I think we should create subcategories for "no DLC/DLC". Also, can someone tell me if the current runs on the leaderboard use DLC or not? Q2: You mean like 100% category? Q3: It doesn't matter. Q4: Sure, I'll add them later.

Hmm, I may consider train if it's cheaper than plane :D

WorldMapFPSPatch=0

To be honest, this setting should be always set to 1, because it gives you advantage based on how fast your PC is.

Child patch is ok, upgrades shouldn't be counted imho.

1. I'm also up for creating a separate category, or at least a variable.

2. Changing com_maxfps to 125 (which is the best value in Q3 engine) is used by several runs already, so I don't see a problem with that. Not sure if pmove_fixed would change anything in RtCW though.

3. As SDA knowledge base says, you should use whichever version is the fastest :)

Is it even possible to do all quests in F1? I mean, I recall you have to choose a side in Junktown, thus the other side can't be completed.

Grinding means trying to shave off any time of the PB/WR by playing the game as much as possible. Can be very frustrating, so many speedrunners don't do it.

Well, I could maybe go there :)

EDIT: Oooops, looks like I've just missed the deadline for submissions. Sorry then :(

In IL table, if you have two or more 1st places (if you have records with multiple variables), your name will be displayed twice.

Example: http://www.speedrun.com/need_for_speed_iii_hot_pursuit

My name for level "Atlantica" is displayed twice.

Miliseconds added. Survival removed for now as well as Carnage since this mode has locked timer to one minute and you're supposed to do as much damage within that time, so it can't be speedran.

I'm personally strongly against no video proof for 2 reasons:

1. Possible cheating (you can edit mission scripts on PC).
2. People who would like to beat the record will have no idea how it was done.

I think that the replay should be enough for verification purposes, just make sure it doesn't get deleted, or record a video of it.

OK, both runs now have variable, but the run from "stefeende" is marked as segmented even though it says RTA if you edit it. Changing it doesn't do anything :(

Yes, and that's when the timer should start - with the intro movie. Most speedruns start like that.

I'm trying to create a subcategory for RTA/segmented type of runs, but whenever I set default value, both current runs simply disappear. I also tried to just create a variable and set the values manually, then create the subcategory, but same issue :( Could you please look at it?

EDIT: Also tried to fill the default value via the button. Still disappears.

speedrun.com now allows subcategories, and I was thinking it would be a good idea to create subcategory that would include RTA and segmented type of runs, instead of having them as separate categories. The board would look a bit cleaner imo.

What do you guys think?

OK, levels added, although you can't set time ascending for a single level. It can only be done for a category, which means the whole table would have to reorganized. Or we could wait till admins add multiple IL tables feature.

Not sure how to handle this.

Also, if anyone can check if the driving games are the same on PS version, I'd really appreciate it.

In my opinion, the timing should start AFTER the difficulty screen or any other setup screen(s). It's just a setting like resolution or controls.

The alt-tab glitch should be treated as variable. At least, that's how it's done in Tiberian Sun.

Sure :)

Never heard of anyone doing speedruns of driving games in Driver :) But it might be a good competition, so I'll set up the leaderboards later.
