Rhône-Alpes, Francehey @ItsTheCloudy no sorry we are not hiring, we don't have that much speedruns to verify so we don't really need help with moderating. Sorry again!
If you go on the NMS sub-category, and on the rules, you can access the category rules.
please don't diss me :(
So, basically main reasons and all:
-
being discussed to be added (I already started to write the rules and all for some of them such as a trueany% category)
-
just that he doesn't know the game and/or how the rest of the community feels about some of the stuff: "Rule 1.3: Make categories for difficulty levels. Make categories that allow and disallow respawns." the difficulty modes in this game don't even change anything about the map or the difficulty, beginner just adds the checkpoints and other options, and for lava mode, yeah you get it, lava. And about the respawns, if you are talking about checkpoints, well we don't accept beginner mode runs and for the other options, they are banned for various reason - however the "Previous Safe Location" option is authorized when the runner is stuck only.
-
did you really read the rules or atleast know why it's added? for: "Rule 1.4 could have better wording: "All runs must be done on a single real-time attack, without exiting to the main menu" ", we litteraly don't use RTA except for the ILs and since the beginning of this leaderboard leaving to the main menu is needed between each runs for a specific reason. "Rule 4.3: Input display might be a recommendation, but never a requirement. Even games that use frame-perfect glitches, like The Talos Principle 2, don't require input display." this has NOTHING to do with frames, and it's not like we were asking for it to like the top 50-100 or more, we ask for it to the top 10 to make sure they don't use macros or anything, which was useful cause thanks to that, we have been able to discover that a top 10 player was using a macro :)
-
for some of the stuff you bring up, like the Any% thing, you are right and like said before, I was thinking about adding a trueany% before but didn't and now I will probably create it for the next leaderboard update.
again i don't say that everything is stupid, just that most of the true stuff you think of were to be probably added soon (i know you can't guess that).
yeah same obviously haha, this fps problem should actually be the first thing on the list for next patches.
also about the top runners, I know they shouldn't be changing the way we rule all this but just think about, they the best on this speedrunning community, they know the gameplay of this game like noone and we don't want to see them leave the game just because they can't play like they want, which is totally normal and understandable. However i have the same opinion about the fact that the fps gap changes too much about the speed of certain actions, but you can also see it otherwise, playing at 60-90 fps also has its advantages :) (less but still does).
Ok but if we can't even make everyone submit their run correctly even with the simplest and the first rules, how are we supposed to check if everyone uses it correctly and don't bypass it higher. I don't know how it works exactly but we would have to ask for the permanent fps display or that they show directly at the end of the run that the bypasser rule wasn't disrespected, that would mean many changes in the rules and needing that ALL the players show their taskbar at the end of the run or something so that we can make sure that they didn't use a bypasser or that they respected the rule. Some don't even see that for the ILs, we need the title of the zone to appear on the screen, so if we ask for them to change everything about their recording manners...
We tried adding this rule with a higher cap of 100fps, but runners (mainly top players) complained about how this would be unplayable. For that reason we have decided not to add this rule and just wait for the devs to try and fix this. We already know all the advantages both 60-100 and 100-144 fps have but, we can't make any big decision or one of the two part will not be happy with it anyways.
Hey! Fast checklist:
- In edit splits: did you enter the Game's Name?
- In edit splits: did you activate the autosplitter?
If you did and still have a prob, come on the discord, we can help you faster there :)
Straffing mid-air can probably be done on a controller however in a way less effective way. Mouse & Keyboard is definitely the best choice for speedrun also for the reason that bhoping is almost impossible with a controller.
You just need to have LiveSplit downloaded and then open the .iss (splits) file and it shoud load them into livesplit
Hey! I understand totally, the problem is that they are some of the most popular french streamers and that there weren't the ones that submitted it to us, even if the full VOD was available, they wouldn't be the best squad to take example from honestly xd.
Their intention wasn't about bad sportsmanship as their goal wasn't to speedrun, but again, I totally understand.
So, I would recommend you checking the duos or trios runs or just try train some well-known skips to do them with your friends.
Anyways, GL and HF :)
nope you both have to escape sorry
hey :)
No, I don't think the latest patch fixed something about any skip, most of those that I knew of still work. If you have a more precise example I invite you to tell us on the discord server, or here, if you prefer :)
