The tool on this site is just a tool to help you calculate time to help with that process

Its done manually by yourself by calculating the start and end points of the time you spent in a heist

This was my mistake when i copy pasted the rule, Timer starts upon the first input for this heist. So when you hit Enter or X or A or whatever to start the scope. Similar rules to doomsday heist. I will change the rules to reflect that

I have recived word that this quallified for a category under the request a new category rule. 2 distinct runs and a forum post. I'll have a category up in a bit

Hey guys,

After reciving a fair few requests on "where is the gta online discord" i have gone out of my way to sort this out. Since GTA:O speedrunning was a thing, we've just used the #gta discord for GTA:O speedrunning discussions. Not many people know this since there doesnt seem to be a discord link anywhere, thats my bad. Anyway, untill the GTA crew gets sick of gta online runners being there. All discord discussions will happen in the #gtao room on the #gta discord. See the link below for an invite.

https://discord.gg/w8UgREQSMv

Please read the rules there and try not to break em. Dont make S regret allowing us there lol.

Its been settled, until S and the GTA crew get sick of us, the #gta discord #gta5 room will be used as a discussion room for gta online content as well as gta 5 content. https://discord.gg/XzHwVZRdYb

As tomex said, unfortunitly for IL boards we cant selectivly disallow a category. So its best to just ignore the solo category of it.

We dont have a gta online specific discord, just one that that is shared amongst the whole of the #gta community. I've seen some demand for a gta:o specific discord so i'll maybe look into it.

Its not been debated yet on whether to accept or reject runs that have partial amounts of people for one setup vs the final. Generally though, all runs submited now have had the same amount of people in all setups and final so we go by that. But i'm open to hear arguments as to why runs should be allowed if they dont contain the same amount of people or the same people by the final.

I'll leave this thread up to discuss it. But job warping was brought up about i think 2 other times before this post. We've allowed it under the pretense that its been around for a fairly long time and has been widly known about. Only a fair few runs actually use it seriously.

If someone can, who is more adversed in how the glitch is performed, would like to write a guide on it so people can try it out more, then that would help people feeling alienated by it. From my understanding its a pretty easy glitch (technically an oversight on R* part) to perform.

"Basically, it'd have a similar effect to the ban of the taxi teleport feature in GTA V Story Mode runs." Except this may or may not get patched. If it does, we have version numbers people can sort the runs by.

"Not to mention this is a glitch, with an efficiency that greatly depends on the user's internet connection, making it way less fair for people with slower connections." - this part can largly be negated by sorting by submitting an in heist time instead.

Since other runs on here have a separate category for solo & co-op, i've decided that this should also have solo & co-op as well. Flashpointsentry does make a good point

After over a month from my last requesting the 2FA, there has been no response. I'm closing this thread and deleting the category. This has got to be the third time someone requested a category, i add it and nothing gets run.

The Terrorbyte missions freeroam random missions. Sorry but a no go on them. There'd be no end like Heroriks said to requests of freeroam missions. As for the MOC ones, they are already added.

Please list the mission names for them to be added

It's been 2 weeks now are you gonna change the setting so i can add you or not? If you dont, i'm afraid i'm gonna just delete the category and call this case closed

The category and variables have been created. I wrote a criteria you must set before being able to submit a run.

"Timer starts when a new lap starts. Timer ends when a lap ends.

Submission Rules: R* Created only race tracks - No Verified or Custom race tracks. If the track exists when submitting, DO NOT add another track variable. If it doesnt, follow Pascal Case Rules when submitting a new track. I.E Dont Do This: cutting coroners Do: Cutting Coroners

Critieria: Slipstream: Off, Catchup: Off, Custom Vehicles: Off, Weather: Any, Time: Any

About Glitches: Any run that uses a glitch that is very likely to be patched will be rejected. This includes cars that are bugged with curb boosting abilities."

The timer can either be the in game timer or external timer. The only issue i have with the ingame timer is it doesnt announce your time so you can truely know down the MS what your time is without looking at the last frame. But thats up to you guys to solve that.

You take full responablity for accepting/rejecting these runs and any request or issues surrounding this category. We'll make sure there is no issues with the category in general and to view how its progressing.

Please dont just mass submit runs under users that dont exist on this site. Instead inform people who submit on youtube that this exists and allow them to submit instead.

Also you need to enable email auth in order for me to add you as a verifier:

"Error: daniel77 must enable e-mail authentication before they can be added as a moderator. Tell them to go to Settings and enable "Require e-mail authentication"."

It's possible. You can submit runs on the behalf of accounts that dont exist yes, however this usually only exists in the special case of old runs where a runner typcially doesnt run the game anymore or do speedrunning in general. If people want to continue running the category, i'd recommend they get an account and submit it on their own time.

An addional thing to note, if this becomes a thing. Be prepared to deal with the fallout of people using all sorts of shit methods to get the fastest race time. the bugs, fps exploits, curb boosting, brake boosting, short shifting etc and all the shit that was sorta put to bed 2 years ago.

After testing around with SR capabilities, there is no easy way to add or control races in the format we have right now. However, i might have found a bandaid solution that makes everyone happy.

I would propose making a "Race" catagory in the misc section of the full run leaderboards. There you can submit any and all races a user wants. I can even throw in a "Vehicle" varaible to keep people happy. There is one decent glare you will have to overcome with this solution. That is all races will be ranked under one category. However, i belive this will fix itself with the use of filters. You can filter by what race you want to look at.

I do have 2 concerns with this solution.

1. I dont know how many varaibles speedrun.com allows before disallowing any new varaible submissions. If it occurs that the limit is short, this idea might fall flat.
2. I or Six will not moderate these races. You will have to accept being a verifier if you want this suggestion to take fruit.

Another smaller concern is the use of standerdising. Since I or Six will not be taking responability for this. It'll be up to yourself to ensure that a user is correctly indicating what race and vehicle they did in a custom text box.

There however will be 1 rule in this category, R* offical (I.E created) races only. No user created or R* verified races. This will hopefully avoid cluttering the leaderboard with people doing tons of custom races.

You've posted in the wrong thread, can you move this post over to your thread and i'll address it there
