What NFS games you play competitively? You could submit your records here, you know :)
EDIT: You might want to wait for my RTA run as it will be using faster strats than the current WR and a couple new tricks. I'm thinking about doing it this weekend if I manage to test everything I can think of. My segmented run is definitely cancelled since I've found out today I would have to redo half of it :)
If you always get the same money and no bounty or heat, then I think you can use old videos. Just make sure everything is in correct order. There simply has to be no discrepancies between segments.
Oh I get it, there's only NG+ category and you want a classic any% category. I initially thought you want to add NG category as something between any% and NG+ (I didn't set the categories for this game).
It's done. Let me know if you want to add some specific rules as I only played this game once and other mods don't really care. I guess it should be specified to delete all save files before each attempt, right?
I'm sure nobody here thought that your intention was to cheat, but you have to realize there is simply too much discrepancy and people who won't know what's going on will be suspicious of your run. And you definitely don't want that, trust me. Segmented runs tend to have small discrepancy issues that can be explained, but I'm sorry, this is simply too much.
What I don't understand is why didn't you ask here if this is okay. As you said, you're new to speedrunning, so of course you will make some newbie mistakes, and if you just asked here somebody would surely tell you what to do.
The bigger issue is if you want to restart the career and continue from the problematic point. Wouldn't you have different money and bounty? That would be a huge discrepancy. Don't you have backup saves? I know you said you play on x360, but doesn't that come with hdd?
Maaan, I really liked your run. There is some debatable things like the speedbreaker or rev limiter, but it's a really good run anyway... this however ruined it :(
So what should you do? Someone more knowledgeable should explain here the differencies - if money matters, how much bounty matters and so on. If it's only a small margin that wouldn't give you any advantage, then you may just restart the run, copy exactly what you did before, and continue from #11... unless you have backup saves, which would be the easiest option.
If you can gain advantage (ie: have more bounty so you don't have to do a speedtrap), then this run is done and you can completely restart it.
Did you seriously think that run is segmented? Oh my...
Yes, you're mistaken. I did do one toilet break though.
I've just seen it and Grim is right. Seven, unless there is no discontinuity (maybe bounty?), you should redo the entire #11 segment, because it's really messed up. Btw, why do you keep hitting rev limiter all the time?
Grim, you probably don't "feel" any style from Seven's run because it's segmented.
Angie done, Silverton to go. I've discovered four possibilities to pass Angie (at the beginning).
- Between second and third corner - this is very rare and I've never done it in first try, so you won't see that in my segmented run.
- Third corner - you have to take the inside line and drive under her. This only works if Angie either crashes to the sign between second and third corner or if she takes the outside line in third corner. This is in my run.
- In the tunnel after third corner.
- Later in one specific wide corner, where she always takes the outside line - most common point of overtaking her. I think it's at 20%.
Btw, my original plan for Silverton was to use Viper since you don't loose 40+ seconds unlocking Corvette and tuned RX-7 is still pretty fast, but it turns out Corvette can make up those 40 seconds. The difference is only about 10 seconds though :) Also, passing Darius is much easier with Corvette, because it has much better handling than Viper.
There's a plenty of leaderboards with segmented runs, for example Tomb Raider games. It's simply up to mods whether they allow it or not. I don't see any reason why they shouldn't.
Would it be possible to somehow differentiate the runs of my followed games on the main page from other new runs? Maybe a line or something.
There's a typo in games list "Torchight II". Should be "Torchlight II", of course.
"Watch_Dogs" also doesn't look right. Should be "Watch Dogs".
There's "Typing of the Dead" and "The Typing of the Dead". I would remove "The Typing of the Dead" since it doesn't have any runs.
- Well, you do that on straights as well.
- Isn't there a Performance tuning options? Since you have suspension and nitrous, you should use it unless I'm missing something.
- I've noticed you sometimes "forget" about your nitrous tank, which gets full.
- You should never use speedbreaker, it's slow.
Can you paste or upload your config? I will try it.
EDIT: I see you did some runs in Team Arena. TA is quite different from VQ3, so it's possible that forcemodel doesn't work there.
I chose Hard for more challenge since Easy is faster by only 10 minutes. I plan to do a run on Easy soon though. I actually already attempted it couple weeks ago, but my notes were not that good and AI was really uncooperative, so I gave up. I think I was 3 minutes ahead at the beginning of stage 4.
It does work. Maybe it's "model" instead of "models", I don't remember now. Keel/blue is fine, you can have any model you want (enemy models copies your model). The only thing I don't know is how to display shadows under enemies. cg_shadows 1 doesn't seem to have any effect. I've never had this issue with OSP/CPMA/QL, but it just doesn't work for me in vq3.
