I'm going to retime the old runs to see what their time is in the new timing method.

I've also done a new run with the new timing method and 11 splits and whatnot, won't submit it until the other runs have been retimed.

But yeah, timing is based off tape get, no longer recording end. The full recording still has to be on the PB video to validate the run. More than 11 tapes will spawn, it'll just keep spawning bullets and flashlights and tapes beyond 11, so you really need to be careful holding G in bathrooms and whatnot, if you pick one up on accident and dont notice.

run with new timing (wr for now, idk, still need to retime):

I retimed the 3 existing runs, positions would still be the same on the board with both timing methods. My new run is faster by like 30 seconds though.

This should make the run a better speedgame since it encourages people to go faster. Not sure how low it can go even with good luck since enemies are tough and accidentally dont die and can sneak up on you on top of tape spawn luck.

Fun game, going to do more runs and push the time down further, maybe get good enough at it to submit it for a marathon or something, since with average luck and caution it'll be like 15-20 minutes probably for estimates.

I didn't catch these threads so I was met with quite a shock when I got the email about my run being beat, but I welcome the change. I was actually planning on suggesting it at some point, as my friend was working on a program that could detect when the tapes were grabbed for the sake of a new ruleset, and I figured the memory addresses could be adapted for usage with livesplit. Guess this'll give me the incentive to see if I can get that to work.

I look forward to running receiver again.

Haven't submitted a run myself but I support this change. Due to the ability to grab tapes that you can't see, (bathtubs, through walls/ceilings, etc.,) we should really get an auto-splitter working soon. Without one this timing method will be difficult to verify.

Best of luck to everyone running!
