Hey!

I personally use OBS and capture it there with the windows capture option. You may have to open the game first and then you should be able to select the settlers IV as an option! I hope this helps and welcome to the S4 speedrunners :)

Hey Guys!

In the full campaign runs you can use save and reload as I saw and Sascha mentioned to me. For this it makes sense to use RTA to time the runs. But I thought it would be more competitive if one forbidds speeding the game up via the numpad or F12. I think none of the recent runs even used the F12-button or the numpad, therefore it would make no difference for the current runners and if we don't allow it for the future it would not affect future runners. What are your thoughts about it? I thinkt it's best to allow safe and reload and don't allow speeding the game up.

Hey guys! I think I found how the whole batteling mechanism works and I was able to create something like a simulator... It's not perfect, but I'm working on it! Just thought I let you guys know :)

Hey Matthew!

Thank you for the quick response! I think it's a good idea for newer games, but in the old games I don't think it's necessairy.

Hey there!

I wanted to ask you if we could remove the fast forward option? It messes up with my leaderboard, has anyone else the same issue? And also because we use in game time it doesn't make a diffrence for the timing. And I think most runs are without fast forward now. Additionally on the Settlers IV history edition you need to have cheats activated to use FF (Note: This is to my extend the only diffrence to prior versions), making it therefor not avaible for all the players. What do you think guys? Do you want it as an option to select when submitting a run or not? Like I said, my leaderboard is completly messed up now and doesn't load correctly and everything and in S4HC it's treated as a cheat.

Hey everybody!

I found a easy setup that helps getting the walljump! Sadly it somehow only works in the lower part of the wall, I haven't found out a way to do it on the upper part of the wall. If you find a way to do so, you could skip "maze-skip" in 3-3 and maybe even superjump in 4-2. Anyway, for those who are intressted, here is a tutorial I made:

here is an old video of me, you can do this at different objects ;) but like rwilliam20 said, I also doubt that it could be used in runs... maybe just as a save like I did.

Hey there :)

I thought about speedrunning this game and I have a question: Will runs performed on the NES mini be accepted? Or are there some issues?

Thank you!

Hey :)

I wanted to ask you if you can include individual levels from the campain to the leader board?

Hey there :)

I've got plant-glitch today on 4-2 and noticed that the falling plattform at the end spawned in the wall. I compared the normal way and the glitched and there is a difference of about 0.7 sec. Is there any information how to trigger this glitch?

Hey :)

Didn't know how to contact you, so I thought I'll do it here... For the individual Levels, I think it has to be more accurate. Can you change it, so the time is minutes : seconds : miliseconds?
