I removed the category for now just since it seemed quite dead, it never really took off and interest seems like it will not go up. If I'm wrong then I can re-add it.

Gonna post it here in case anyone missed it. Basically I used this already known clip and applied it here. You just clip into the mansion, chainsaw Diaz, and then go to some trigger or other in the hallway.

Age of Empires II and III you can get on Steam, Age of Empires I you'll have to buy the discs unfortunately.

B(oth), depending on how many people are strongly for one or the other, or if it's a close vote.

I don't know jack about SA side stuff but I made a category so that the ones bubble added show up at all.

GTA mumble is already well-established within the community and it'd be pointless to move in a way.

I also have no idea what Discord has to offer that the SRL IRC and mumble combined don't have. So don't count my vote, but I'd rather stay with mumble just because I'm already used to it.

Hey, I've known that you've done runs of GTAO for a while now and I'll mod you since you're actually actively doing stuff unlike the rest of us who wanted to do heist speedruns.

I just saw this now, I'll add it again sure

Feurigerilias, I've seen a lot of the evidence from you, but I have strong reasons to believe that Kyle is not cheating. I have seen evidence from both sides, and keep in mind that I have not dismissed your evidence just because it is from you, nor have I accepted the counterevidence into my heart because it is not from you. I also will not comment on your attitude towards other people giving their opinions.

Your evidence has included comparisons and suspicions about Kyle's driving being due to a modified handling file, but just because he drove differently than before does not mean that he modified his handling file. What more is there to say? Should I accuse KZ_Frew of modified handling in Vice City because his sum of bests is better than mine, and I've been running it much longer than he has? Of course not, he just can do some things differently (and quite possibly better) than I can, that's something anyone can accept for their respective speedgames. We're a community, we're not together to be suspicious of each other for trivial things like modifying files, when it could very possibly be skill at certain parts of the run. Clearly Kyle knows so much about GTA IV, and he would have zero reason to cheat in a run where nobody even has times close to his. You have grinded very hard as well but I distinctly remember you not keeping up-to-date with strats that Kyle used, when he did not come directly to you to tell you about new strats and ways of doing things, possibly even driving. That's not his problem that he was doing things differently.

[quote=m00nchile] Your main proof that Kyle cheats, is that you can't match his times even though you grind a lot. I've probably invested more hours into VC any% than MH and KZ, yet fell behind. You don't magically master everything you do just by doing it long enough. [/quote]

You accused Kyle of scripting but how the hell does someone go about scripting drives in a game like GTA, and getting them fairly well every time? He also did streams with mic on, where you could clearly hear him hitting his keyboard in tune with the driving, like one would expect, and still pulling in good times. That alone eliminates the possibility of scripting.

Go ahead and dismiss my post because I don't run GTA IV, because I can't have relevant opinions for this game, but you can for GTA:SA. May as well remind you that m00nchile, S., bubblebobbler, and even I have been speedrunning / been part of the speedrunning community for longer than you have, and our say is not something to be taken lightly.

[quote=m00nchile] There's a reason S is a GTA mod and why his opinion matters. He's been part of this community and an active runner for way longer than you, ilias. [/quote]

With that said, I have decided that Kyle is not cheating.

The only one of those that I think I'd actually be of some use would be the game judging, since there are probably others with much higher experience with the tech side of things than I have. I'm down with helping with that.

jump, jump again, immediately press F1 twice

replays: instead of F2 F3 F3 F2, it's F2 F3 F1 F2. You cannot cancel the saved replay with another F3, but only with F1.

Game Name: Grand Theft Auto: Vice City System: PC Category: 100% Gameplay Estimate: 7:15:00 Ending/Bonus Estimate: doesn't need to be longer than it already is. 0:00:00 Sample run video: Description: Vice City but with way cooler routing on grabbing collectables, and with all the fun side stuff that everyone loves in GTA games. Also with its fair share of game-breaking glitches.

Just a heads up that all submitted runs require a video of the run, no matter what. You could submit splits but not without an accompanying run video.

Maryland, USAMhmd_FVC9 years ago

I've said this a lot, but for the next GTAM there's gotta be someone in the community willing to organize it. Literally any GTA [community member] could step up and begin planning. That's kinda what I did with the previous one. I just made some submission forms and got to planning around January for the marathon to happen in the beginning of April.

It was a lot of work for me to organize the previous marathon and I think it'd be a fair break for me to not do it again for the next one. Not that I'm lazy or anything, but it'd be a good thing for there to be a new organizer. Maybe that person could be you...

Maryland, USAMhmd_FVC9 years ago

Yes, let's allow cheating just because the devs put them in. That was the point of my post tbh

Maryland, USAMhmd_FVC9 years ago

You've got it the wrong way around. Cheats are "intended", they are obviously coded into the game, and they are defined as such. They are cheats, one way or the other. Glitches on the other hand are not intended, sure, but it is not cheating, because there is nothing cheaty about it in this environment. There is no advantage to be gained over others, because everyone can do the glitches (even on Xbox despite it being a pain in the ass) and it's not like they're getting patched any time soon. What more is there to say?

Is the activation actually required? From what I remember, I never had to input any activation code for Steam GTA4, but I kept getting the Steam notifications for activation which are just nuisances.

Maryland, USAMhmd_FVC9 years ago

I am indifferent to it. I once entered a WASD cheat during a run and had no intention of submitting if it was PB, but if someone else really wanted to (Haworth, hint hint) then I don't think I'd reject just yet. There are easy PC workarounds too but for Xbox I have no idea.
