Not sure if this is the right place or who to even ask but i need help in removing a Speed game. the game is AMERICAN DRAGON: RISE OF THE HUNTSCLAN (2006)

there is currently 2 of the same game having leaderboards.

for the last few years there has always been 2 different leaderboards for the same game, wondering if the leaderboard where im the only runner can be deleted for the other leaderboard.

https://www.speedrun.com/american_dragon_rise_of_the_huntsclan?h=Any&x=q2586ry2 here is the link to mine

and here is the other https://www.speedrun.com/httpsyoutu.bebyjzmxixdbk?h=Any&x=xd17z6wd

sorry for late reply, i added a new category for ds for you wasn't sure what mode you wanted normal or easy. so for now i just put it as Ds in the future ill do more work for different categories and individual levels, hope this helps.

Ontario, Canadakaxoj_Zach3 years ago

when i speedran this game 3 years ago there was no page or any run done, So i did a run (poorly i might add) and made the page.

so i looked and the page i made was created on 2017-07-20

and this one, the one u made was created on 2018-10-01

according to the stats page at least.

so idk how to delete the one i created but ill gladly do it to make it only 1 page.

how 2 pages of the exact same game went on for 2 years un-noticed till recently is astonishing

im not complaining about the rule, the rule is fine and in both of my new runs i submitted in the last week i followed the rule (after i knew it existed). what i was asking was the "WHY", like why add a new rule and not post about how you added it and as you have read this forum thread it is to prevent cheating, which i agree with. Asking questions about the "why" add this rule out of the blue when it wasnt required before is a valid question and i know now that one of the mods of the barbie community added this rule on the a bunch of games he was a mod of.

Ontario, Canadakaxoj_Zach5 years ago

i understand where both where billybankai and the mod who wrote the rules are coming from, but to just add a new rule saying phone emulators are banned and then not even say you updated the rules page in anyway just seemed odd to me.

Ontario, Canadakaxoj_Zach5 years ago

i dont have an issue with the rule myself. Just curious why it was added in the first place? like what is the reasoning behind it.

Ontario, Canadakaxoj_Zach5 years ago

so i added easy and normal categories fixed the 6A and 6B i also added more info for how to time clocktower better https://i.imgur.com/Rgvgya1.png about the clocktower timing do u want it to be on continue in the main menu or time starts when u finish pressing A going through the dialogue. there is a few seconds of difference between the choices

So i changed the iL leaderboard around in the settings but since i never use the Speedrun.com settings i think im doing something wrong so here is what i wrote in the settings https://i.imgur.com/YbTxRnL.png

Yet the iL Leaderboard doesnt show up in the right under Full game leaderboard without me making this https://i.imgur.com/zjzCcS5.png

and now the Level leaderboard looks like this https://i.imgur.com/vqfHYXz.png with 2 different sides and looks wrong and without me making the category it just doesnt show up.and for reference here is what the Battle for bikini bottoms iL looks like https://i.imgur.com/MLhK6H6.png

Ontario, Canadakaxoj_Zach5 years ago

yeah that sounds fine ill fix up the iL leaderboards to reflect this.

Ontario, Canadakaxoj_Zach5 years ago

no problem ill add the gba levels to an iL tracker. what do u think the names should be?

Should it go

Bedroom Forest/Butterfly net Castle interior/Stilts/Fabian the Apothecary Boss Castle wall/Ribbon Castle Outside/Croquet Mallet/Knight Boss Library/Book Stables/Castle Grounds/Running Shoes/Desmond Boss Clocktower/Mirror Room/Rowena Boss

or Bedroom stand alone no level beside it Level 1 is Bedroom (or do we call Bedroom as Level 1 for consistency sake) Level 2 is Forest/Butterfly net Level 3 is Castle interior/Stilts/Fabian the Apothecary Boss Level 4 is Castle wall/Ribbon Level 5 is Castle Outside/Croquet Mallet/Knight Boss Level 6 is Library/Book Level 7 is Stables/Running Shoes/Desmond Boss Level 8 is Clocktower/Mirror Room/Rowena

i'll add it with the Levels before the names for now just want your feedback on the names.

Also how do you want it to be timed? What im thinking is use a password to get to the level you want. it will put you in the room, you just quit and be back on the hub world/hallway and

Timing starts when you enter Up on the door to the level you wanna run. Time ends could be when you see the password Screen at the end of the level.

For now ill leave the timing/Rules blank on the IL page cause i dont know how you wanna time it.

Ontario, Canadakaxoj_Zach5 years ago

of which version? gba ds ps2/pc all play different.

Ontario, Canadakaxoj_Zach5 years ago

Sorry for not checking the forums. i added a PC category i also left the rules blank.

Since i never played the pc version i just watched a quick video on it now.

im not sure how the game should be timed and i put how the game should be timed in the rules section.

So the first run submitted will be timed that way ( if the person wants to time start on either Enter name screen or they wanna start after the cutscene when they can control there first inputs and it can end either on credits or after the finally dancing or when you unlock fireworks on the last input a few seconds before credits.)

when i added a background on march 3rd 2016, almost 2 years ago i made this thread. you are literally the only reply, and as well as the only one to talk about it being "inappropriate or potentially offensive." and since nobody submitted a better/more appropriate i just asked my friend in the discord i was in at the time to give me any sfw image. that is the image he gave me. if you have an inoffensive one or a more appropriate one then feel free to link it.

Ontario, Canadakaxoj_Zach6 years ago

nah, thats fine i was just curious and ill update the rules to fit accordingly.

since you are the only run, ill leave timing to how you wanna do it, since i have 0 experience with the game since it is completely different than the gba and ds versions. also your 1h 24m 26s i watched some of the vid and have no how you came up with that time, does the time end on the final dance or when the fireworks go off, and does the time start on new game selection or after you finish the name, since your the only runner ill leave all that to you, just reply and ill change the rules

Ontario, Canadakaxoj_Zach6 years ago

sorry for the late reply, but i added a ps2 section to the leader board and update the games list to feature the ps2, i honestly didnt even know there was a ps2 version till this thread to be honest. i also dont know how the timing should be for the rules. so i just put Time begins the moment you finish putting in your name. Time ends the moment you see credits.i also dont know if there is an easy/hard mode so ill just leave it as is.

Ontario, Canadakaxoj_Zach7 years ago

the ds version has extra levels that the gba version just doesn't have. making it much slower, i dont know the exact extra levels the ds version has but if you were to run the ds your time would be significantly slower, than that of its gba counterpart.

i added the ds option just now, for submitting times.

for example the tas time of the ds version is 29:54 video here

and the wr time for gba is 28:05.

and about which version, it honestly doesn't matter, whatever version you want to play you can, just the ds version is slower, if i was to put it in the same category as the gba.

if you want i can add a new section for the DS modes easy/normal since the extra levels and ds only glitches make it unique enough to be considered for it.

So assuming people check here at all i added a theme to the background, this was my reaction when i say Luzbelheim got a new WR (Congrats btw). Anyway if anyone wants to change the background to something more "respectable" just post your image link here.

here are some other Background themes i was looking at

Example 1. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-LxCdqzdhXPo/UBgBcw-JTsI/AAAAAAAABrY/r1nFtp4MfA8/s1600/Barbie's+A+Sick+Fuck.jpg

Example 3. http://i.imgur.com/skT1lDT.jpg

So, in conclusion if anyone wants custom anything (speedrun.com logo/1-2-3-4 place trophies) just post them here
