Done with Reign of Chaos, here's all the times: https://pastebin.com/YDMxgzx4
A quick slice of it: Human 1 - 01:33 by RPGodfather Human 2 - 03:13 by CovertMuffin Human 3 - 02:40 by Sajiki Human 4 - 00:58 by Cody360c Human 5 - 17:16 by Sajiki Human 6 - 05:55 by Sajiki Human 7 - 04:30 by Savusukka Human 8 - 02:48 by Savusukka Human 9 - 04:54 by CovertMuffin Also includes runs not submitted I could dig up. Good number for Hard too.
I'll have The Frozen Throne done soon, too.
To be honest the IL boards for Super Mario 64 DS are for show; they don't track who really has the world record since nearly all of those are probably in a full-game run anyway. The same goes with a lot of games with IL boards (except C&C and StarCraft 1 >:3).
Most of the way done. Only have Creris, eLmaGus, and MicroElf left to go. I'm skipping all unsubmitted YouTube videos from people not on the leaderboards for now.
I'm sure you can send him an email, it's in the options above. There are plans to have an API sync with games like Donkey Kong Country and Halo so that can be included with the lot.
Yeah, RTA doesn't matter much, it's just for completion purposes.
I think the recent anniversary update changed the way game time functions. Shouldn't be of much concern though.
but moderators can edit runs to change the runner. I did the same thing before promotion
emeraldaly: Game moderators can submit runs on other people's behalf. Other people can't (without what I mentioned above).
A message on Twitter or elsewhere would have worked better rather than saying so publicly.
It chaps my ass when I see runs rejected without proper reasoning, especially when the run looks alright from a glance. I'll look into this.
Edit: Problem resolved, you just happened to get the front end of a moderator who quit. All should be fine now.
For re-timing, I currently set legacy timing as: • Starts on the frame the cursor is visible (battle control online). • Stops on the frame the last "MAIN QUEST COMPLETE" appears on screen. and the new timing as: • Starts on the frame the loading screen disappears and the game is in view. • For Prologue 2, Human 9, Undead 8, Orc 8, and Night Elf 7, stops on the first fully black frame after the mission is clearly completed (i.e. when the "Victory!" window should appear). • For all other missions, stops on the frame the "Victory!" window appears on screen.
I'm running into a minor problem with the last missions of each campaign, they don't display the "Victory!" window. When looking to the other missions, the window appears when the screen is fully black. This could be used to reference real time to game time; the margin-of-error would be, at most, 100ms, which I think is small enough to use. Undead 8 in particular can't even use the legacy timing. At no point does "MAIN QUEST COMPLETE" appear, so I've set the legacy timing for it to end when the timer in the top right corner hits 00:00:00.
Some runs like Savusukka's mash fast enough for the "Victory!" window to not even appear, but I've noticed the cursor is always visible at the same time it appears (besides the final missions as mentioned above), so that can be used as reference if necessary.
When it comes to making offsets, how would you like to go about making them? I've already made a few references from runners mashing through the start/end and is easily adjustable.
Something like this has been planned for a while but won't be implemented until a lot of things are added to allow for easy moderation.
Unessential: One of the moderators logged in recently and this looks to be resolved.
ANGEL_UNDEAD: The moderator hasn't been on in a while, runs are pending, he seems inactive on Twitter, hasn't done much on YouTube, but has logged on Twitch yesterday. I'll shoot him a message, but it he's not on by the time the admins make their rounds on this thread you'll likely be promoted.
Bemels: You've been promoted by someone and I assume this has been resolved.
NekohDot: Try asking some of the runners to help moderate.
Nolcolem: His Twitch link doesn't work (probably changed names) none of his runs connect to the existing account, so that's not usable. I'll try messaging him on YouTube, but it he's not on by the time the admins make their rounds on this thread you'll likely be promoted.
Most of the Command & Conquer games have an in-game timer.
[quote]You upload one video with full campaign run (which was already been verified btw) as the video for every level run.[/quote]I reiterate: The video is there as proof of existence and can be found by using the seekbar. This is especially true for campaign runs since you already know about where it starts. If the campaign run is verified, then you know the level time is in the video and valid. Requiring videos to be cut is unfairly arbitrary to do IMO; it should be encouraged but not required, though I'd make an exception for really long videos. Speedrunning leaderboards should focus on accuracy; an ideal entertainment setup is secondary.
You can view obsolete full-game runs in the profile of runners. For example: I can see your first 35:55 for Sentinels so I know you've ran the campaign at least twice. Individual levels currently doesn't have that functionality they but can still be seen by those determined enough with help from the API. Support for IL history is planned for the site. And if you're into making the game look more popular, it adds the to total run count so people see it sooner when searching games. I'm very completionist for leaderboards.
I'm currently re-timing the runs by the way, I'll them done in the next few days, hopefully.
Meerkat: He hasn't logged on here in over 4 months, Twitch in over 2, and there's runs pending. You'll likely be promoted.
Lady_Vroom-Vroom: Over 4 months gone with no means of contact and runs pending. You'll likely be promoted.
GhostScit: See the post above me.
I'm referring to sajiki's rejected IL runs I submitted for him. They were rejected for not being individual videos. I've done that for the Command & Conquer series and StarCraft 1 to find records for missions. It's more useful than you may think. Not only does it find all the IL records, but lets everyone know the current best strats to use in campaign runs. I only add PBs, not literally every attempt.
Edit: You did this yourself for your campaign runs for Sentinels, why can't others be on? Going over the runs, I saw some were rejected because a better one was approved. Those are still worth approving for the sake of runners' personal best history and a game's world record history.
Sure, but there's one thing that should be addressed. Unless I can get in contact with runners and have them work with me, I'd have to cut out each mission time and upload them to YouTube myself. The video is there as proof of existence and can be found by using the seekbar. This is especially true for campaign runs since you already know about where it starts.
Originally the site supported timestamps, and when the big change happened last year, it broke the support. I still hope it gets added back in.
