Nova Scotia, CanadaYou can skateboard back with the shark by throwing the shark on the ground, then going up to it and pressing E and tab at the exact same time and selecting the skateboard. Entering the pool with the shark glitched like this won't pass the mission so you need to go to the nerd spawn outside the pool in "throw a nerd in the pool" and pick up the nerd normally to get the shark back in a state where you can throw it in the pool. This strat saves about 15 seconds
the new firecracker the principal strat (which I haven't done in one of my runs yet) is after buying your items from the shop you death-warp, throw a firecracker at the ceiling in the nurse's office and it should pass the mission. This strat saves about 5 seconds.
Requesting a removal of "The Speedy Simpsons Mod" ( https://www.speedrun.com/shar_the_speedy_simpsons_mod ) the mod only changes the names of the missions, reduces the timer to make it slightly more challenging and changes the font of the menu. The world record of the game is from the creator of the mod and is the only run in the past 3 years. I mod the base game of The Simpsons: Hit & Run and we have started to add mods that change gameplay under our banner but this mod changes nothing about the gameplay of the game from the base game. Additionally the speedrun.com board mod isn't active in the speedrunning community and hasn't been on their speedrun.com account for almost a month and the mod is no longer available to download publicly.
Is there anyway you can ask for more money and give us less features?
it's in the sidebar on the left side or here. https://discord.gg/nU48TVd
Watching runs/streams is a good way to start and we have more resources and people happy to help in our discord in the side bar.
It has been decided in favour of creating new subcategories for the board that revolve allow this this glitch and to preserve our current boards as they are now without this glitch. Variables won by a majority. 20 to ban this trick. 43 to add it as a variable similar to PC and console are now. 1 to allow it as is.
With the new subcategories the no time skip variable will be default so if you visit speedrun.com and search The Simpsons: Hit & Run you will see the non-time skip category first.
It has been decided that JoyToKey is allowed to use this exploit, you can set it up by using an unmapped button on your controller and setting it to the left mouse button. The mod team will not be able to verify that you used your actual mouse instead of JoyToKey so everyone will be able to do this.
The mod team will be working the next day or two to add these variables to the main board as well as the category extensions.
Continue to enjoy the current categories, enjoy the new ones and thank you all for participating in the poll.
Also to note this poll was done in our Discord for runners, if you are an active runner I would invite you to join our Discord we almost always do community polls to determine leaderboard/rule changes, you can join our Discord in the sidebar or click this link here. https://discord.gg/nU48TVd
There is a PS2 beta from July 2003 floating around somewhere, but that has the near final product since it's only 3 months before release. There is a high likelihood a Gamecube prototype exists but there's no links or anything with it.
The most notable thing with the PS2 beta is this hellish intro cutscene .
Going to be honest with you, if you don't know where the stuff is or can't remember, practice memorization on them on individual levels, make yourself notes with this livesplit plugin ( https://www.nightgamedev.com/sgl ) or run another category.
100% is probably the hardest category just due to memorization if you play another category you can get better acquainted with the game and understand what the notes mean. If you want to try to run just 100% go ahead I don't want to stop you, but if I were in your shoes this is what I would do just trying to get more of a feel of the game and the memorization will come naturally.
Timer either starts when you hit new game (or yes if you have a save loaded) or alternatively there is a community save for PC runners that saves after the first cutscene or you can make your own on console, but if you choose to do this option set your timer to start at 39.34 or on PC with the autosplitter it should automatically start at the correct time.
Speedrunning is something that you should enjoy.
I won't argue for or against running the game, but if you enjoy it or feel you would enjoy it I would say yes.
I think 60-80 fps is generally accepted to be faster but also if/when you get good enough you might need to up your fps a little bit to get the OOB's in level 7
We are implementing changes in the final timing for All Story Missions, which would also affect No Mission Warps, Any% and All Tasks, in order to make the timings more consistent when compared to. Whilst the original timing, when it ended as the final cutscene started, was good at the time of conception. Its usefulness has waned since the autosplitter itself has become more and more diverse with the settings in conjunction with new categories.
Therefore the timing for ASM, Any%, NMS/W and All Tasks will end after the game finishes the mission. (see screenshot for exact frame)
The autosplitter settings for Autotopsy III have been changed to reflect as well as the option now being enabled by default for when you start up. Please make sure you check your settings are correct and accurate. We will also not be changing the times already on the board to reflect this as this is a negligible change time wise.
Why not create a subcategory 1 for GT skip and 1 for NMG?
Yeah, I was looking around on cheat engine as well but my coding knowledge is very limited, hopefully someday there will be a load remover/autosplitter.
I was also looking at trying to get a loadless timer/autosplitter setup for the game to try to make IGT timing more accessible instead of timing it post-run, but I have very little coding knowledge besides basic java. But I do agree that IGT timing is the most fair for everyone and the game giving us level timers makes it easy for us to add together.
