@Saviusinus under the "rules" tab in the "whitelist" section you will find "mat_dxlevel 80/90" listed meaning it is allowed, if you have any questions about speedrunning portal i would suggest going to the discord server and asking as way more people are willing to help in there compared to here
all gamepasses are banned on the main leaderboard but there is as linked above me a category extension for it
vip is (basically) required, pay up or go to the discord and ask for access to one
@DarkVoidhehe6969 the portals look different because he is using dxlevel 80 which is a setting that changes graphics
@DarkVoidhehe6969 then his run would be rejected so im not so sure about that
@DarkVoidhehe6969 he is playing portal build 4104 from like 2011 or something
"Other texture and sound file changes are allowed as long as they would not give an advantage." you should probably show the custom sound you want to use so a mod could confirm it valid before you do runs with it tho
also if you have any questions or would like to engage with the community the discord is the place to do it
yes dont spam it too fast and only when your about to land.
also, know that many more people visit and will take time to help with problems if you ask in the discord.
yeah that def gives a theoretical advantage and that means no go
@italvera yeah nice idea but in the oob route i literally cannot remember any place in the run that would save time at all and certainly it would not save 30 seconds in inbounds, look at a run and try to find places where consistent portal boosts would save time (there is actually a setup used in nosla and inbounds for a portal boost in 01 but thats already used)
"run killing" mfw i can make a quicksave:
