reinstalling doesnt reset the data afaik.
this should help:
Im pretty sure the solar system Category isnt needed since its pretty much the same as "tiny galaxy" .
I think it can be removed and people can just submit runs to the "tiny galaxy" category if they want to clear a full solar system.
Maybe there is something that i missed ...lmk
Please change the subcategory name to "Glitch" or something else. Its painful to see the category name being called "Glitch%". I know i dont even speedrun the game but i just noticed that.
hmm nah i meant in general. instead of timing it from clicking the start button you time it when you spawn in. ofc you still need to show clicking the start button. Only other loadtimes are the ones when you go from planet to planet but i dont think they are really that long
what we could do is : force them to either
have autosplitter or have ingame music on...but i dont want people to have bleeding ears.
i guess that could be another way to force ppl to use autosplitter.. but it doesnt remove all the work that will be necessary if we go over to igt.
ive submitted a run a bit go (around 1 week) and thought id take a look if the moderators are active bcs i dont wanna wait months for my run to be verified.
Turns out they all have not been on the site for 1month+ and 2 of them longer than a year. i wouldnt mind taking over moderation but id want someone else that actually knows the game a little more than me. since i dont even have a run on the lb. Is anyone able to contact them? i have contacted them with the stuff they have linked but no one responded yet.
I think timing should be changed to first frame of spawning into the world and end when you kill the last enemy on the planet you spawn in.( like b4)
The current start is unfair for people with long load times and changing it to first frame of the player spawning in is just more fair
I forgot to show that im not using mods. ive got a clip shortly after i did my speedrun showing it tho. (thankfully xbox gamebar got a feature to record the last x min.)
can i send a vid of me showing that i didnt use mods or is it ok if i dont include that. ( in the vid that shows that ive got no mods you can see the end of the speedrun so you can be sure its not a new game)
i guess ill just submit my run for now and ill see
"I think that times should still be based on igt but it would be cool to have a second option that people have the choice to add where it will show the rta time. would be cool to see the comparison but still keeps igt times for rankings"
great... not only would we need to retime every run to igt... no also rta too ...haha
eh... retiming every new god damn run for igt is a pain in the ass. not only will we need to edit every run there already is on the leaderboard(from rta to igt) , we will also need to retime almost all runs on the leaderboard.
Apart from that ..if we just allow people to do Igt runs without autosplitter ,then no one will use the autosplitter since you can just do it without. This might not seem like a problem , but the autosplitter also works as a way of making it harder for splicing.(like sirty already mentioned)
And no ...i dont wanna kill the ears of people by forcing them to listen to the in game music to detect splicing.
... "RTA could be grandfathered in" so that means we ignore old runs? ..well that partly removes the need to retime them all but we still need to look into each one bcs we dont know if they are igt or rta. that means the ones with autosplitter will be labeled as rta bcs we either need to select the default as igt or rta.
Oh and i think this game has reached its peak ..kinda weird to have the change now.. but tbh thats never a fully valid point.
in short : main reason is that we use the autosplitter for verification, making it easier for the runner and making it easier for the mods.
when does "f" start again ? like at least 30min.. idk i dont normally stay around that long.. you will def need more than 30mins to clear 50floors haha
(image isnt right btw ,current category is 10floors)
i would imagine something like this.
(50 floor sounds like alot, but i mean sure)ive made a discord server, could be pretty nice since its easier to communicate to each other.
Here is the link: https://discord.gg/aPxu7rPMFY
i wont make a leaderboard for obscure categories like that , but you can always just post your times in the thread.
oh yea i kinda did that too, only that i remembered watching a speedrun of spore ages ago.. its more active than i thought. This forum post also reminded me that i wanted to try speedrunning the creature stage ( and more but thats in the future)
Is resizing the window allowed?
What even is allowed?
There are no rules.. please please set up the rules and categories. If you cant do it , i dont mind setting all that up.
