EnglandSo have put in a new category called Hooks and the objective of this run is to hook all 4 survivors the fastest.
Of course this is a new category and the rules set are likely to be tweaked if we find any issues, but as it stands I think it's good start and to add more new categories.
I tried that and it never worked, it shows up as '' if I do '*' (space after)
After this conversation I have reworked all the rules and removed the main menu as it really wasn't needed (the screen was the same in the lobby as in the menu) I haven't been able to use bullet points as I can't work them out but its ok till I do.
BTW the guides on how to format really don't make a lot of sense for me, it seems as if the bullet points are the same key as italic format.
@shenef, thanks for pointing that out I am not sure why the main menu wasn't in there, I have fixed that, I dont have access to the rules on the site so I have to rely on my supermod (I hate to bother him sometimes) and so editing the github is my only access, I suppose that is one reason why, as for the main menu it is needed so we know what version we are using, also There are hacks and cheats that are obv within the Main Menu but not Ingame, thats why its still in our Rules. (supermod answer)
So I asked the same question when I joined the mod team so I just ran with it.
So let me explain about the rules a little, I came in recently and overhaled the entire leaderboard and in doing so I spoke with the supermod and we came up with an entire ruleset that works and in theory should work well, the links are there as they are formatted perfectly and cleanly.
Whether anyone reads the rules is upto them and in the end I could end up rejected and forcing them to read the rules, what I am trying to do here is make them aware before submitting the run the main menu must be included so I am not rejecting 8/10. There has to be a simpler way.
You do get some stupid people who think they can submit the weirdest runs but I ain't bothered about them, (gives me a giggle) but not including the main menu is a big one.
I am curious, All games and all runs do you have to have the main menu in for the run to be authorised?
I am a moderator for Dead by Daylight and I would like to request that for submitting a run we have the option to somehow ask the person submitting the run to make sure they have read the rules and instead of wasting their own time and getting it rejected because they have not done something correct.
So this has come about because we have to see the main menu in verify a run and every day I am rejecting at least 8 out of every 10 runs because of this.
The version is shown in the background of the picture, i.e silent hill theme or blight theme etc.... This way it stops some of the older runs that were added that may have been faster back in the older versions.
I never made these rules, they have been tweaked by me to try and make things clearer.
All I want to do here is make it a level playing field, and the rules in place are fine if played correctly.
This rule is in place so we know what version the player is playing on, also this has always been a uniform rule ever since I have been mod.
The rules have been set out here, https://github.com/Installieren/DeadByDaylightSpeedrunningRules/wiki Make sure you look at the correct page for your run.
So I have been going through the categories one by one and I wanted to keep you all up to date with my progress so far, So here is a list of all the ones I have done so far and I will update once I have done them.
Ok so I have done every single category and in doing so I have found a lot of the videos don't match the rules, this could be due to the rules back then were different and so I think it would be best to leave all the videos before todays date and look to implement the rules that are currently in effect to relate only to the new videos from 29/9/20.
I have done my very best to go through and sort out every single video and now that is completed I can concentrate on all new videos that come in.
I look forward to everyone sending in their speedruns and hopefully getting to the number 1 slot.
So between myself and Rene we have been working hard to keep the DBD Speedrunning upto date with much more to do, there have been many changes made with more to come as we tackle each section one-by-one, So if you happen to get notifications of your runs this is the reason why.
Every single section of the DBD SpeedRunning will be dealt with and new rules are being updated to reflect all the platforms and trying to keep everything uniform is an issue, but we think we have it dealt with.
If you have any issues or concerns either Myself or Rene are on hand to help you the best we can.
All Killer runs have been updated as of 22/9/2020.
You may noticed that your times are longer but this is the most accurateway going forward, If you have any problems with your run or position in the table I can look into the issue for you. Best way to contact me is via Discord JamieLee2k#8120
If you don't include the main menu or the VOD (streamers only) It will get rejected. Its that simple. The lobby is not the main menu, The main menu is when you return to the screen where you select either Killer or Survivor.
See this thread https://www.speedrun.com/dead_by_daylight/thread/rr6am
As long as the main menu is in the video at some point (start or end), If you are streaming and you DON'T show the main menu you need to include a link to the VOD in the description when you submit a run.
Here are the rules in case anyone is stuck:
https://github.com/Installieren/DeadByDaylightSpeedrunningRules/wiki
We are making a change at the end of the run to better get a time which makes it clearer for us all, Instead of entering the struggle mode it now ends where the last bar under the players name on the bottom left disappears.
Two reasons for this change is with the new hooking system DBD have put in and also before when there was 1 person left and they were hooked they automatically died, so everyone else needs to also die who are on struggle, so this change is needed.
With all the people putting people on a hook and leaving the area, we need a clear line in which to end the speedrun and this is it, If you have any questions Please post them in this thread and I will do my best to answer them.
In the meantime your times may change, I am going through them one by one and normally your position wont change but this might happen.
Thanks JamieLee2k - Verifier
