Not all of these are frequent but I felt they were worth including . I guess I have to call them Asked Questions instead then
Q: What is and isn't considered a glitch?
A: The way the leaderboard defines a glitch is very all over the place but I'll walk you through it.
Here are some things commonly mistaken as glitches that are, on this leaderboard, considered glitchless:
-
Ladder flicking
-
(Normal) High jumps
-
2 stud climb-ups
Here is a (incomplete) list of some glitches used commonly in speedrunning:
-
Wallhops
-
Dance clips
-
Lag high jumps (or freeze high jumps, whichever you prefer)
-
Lodges
Note: Any glitch that's part of the intended route of the tower (not counting intentional skips) will be considered Glitchless. For example:
ToIE requires you to do multiple dance clips in the intended route but runs that use them would still be considered Glitchless.
ToOH has a huge dance clip skip on Floor 3 that, while added intentionally, isn't part of the actual route of the tower, so runs that use it would be placed in the Glitches category.
Q: Is there a place I can speedrun towers from events? Time Lost Plain? Practice obbies?
A: Yes, check out the Category Extensions leaderboard: https://www.speedrun.com/jtohce (Even if you didn't have this question I think it would be cool if more people submitted stuff to here. There's also the Unlock Ring category in the full-game section which is one of the coolest speedruns in etoh)
Q: What's the difference between real time and in-game time?
A: There isn't any. You're supposed to enter your time in the in-game time section for the leaderboard though. I should probably remove one of them but I don't know whether or not it would break anything
Q: Could I use an item that's not from an event in the Event Items category? Like bootleg coil? Helicopter powers? Crystal? Other ones I'm forgetting?
A: Nope sorry. If it is from an event go nuts though. You can use any item from an event in the event items category. I'm specifying this because that used to, for some reason, not be true (important note: Paid items such as Heavenly Coil aren't allowed in the Event Items category either)
Q: If I wanted to submit a run on a specific tower that I got during a tower rush could I do that?
A: Yeah
Q: If I get kicked by the anticheat at the end of my run, will it still get accepted?
A: Yeah
If you have any other questions, feel free to ask! Post it to the forum, message one of the moderators on speedrun.com, discord, Options are endless really
Timer script changed like almost exactly a year ago and it's done this since . Server sided timer has caused a lot of problems for speedrunning honestly . Will start removing load times from categories that need it
@4d9r That's almost certainly not true since the physics engine runs on 240fps and Roblox developers have publically discouraged people from going above 240 on that principle . It really did take too long tho man . Literally everyone else chilled out on FPS cap stuff before we did . Thats ridiculous
This is true and should be addressed. I've been meaning to make some kinda FAQ post in the forum for things like this and I could add that to the bottom of the rules section
How did i forgetg this and why did no body tell me for three months
Can you change the title so the video isnt age restricted so yoiu dont have to go to youtube to watch it
@Poland_Speedrunner I think you typed this one wrong cause its 3.317 not 2.317
