Kuno will not beat this quickly lol; holy shit good job lol
I believe that most PC runs use a cracked version of the game that does not access the CD anymore. You can find the version I run here: https://www.myabandonware.com/game/night-at-the-museum-battle-of-the-smithsonian-the-video-game-gci
Mr. Meta asked me to run the game. You could probably get sub 20 if you don't get stuck as much as I did and you hit all of the zombies on the first shot.
Hey, so for the speedrun you have to downpatch to a previous version of the game as they had patched out the childhood chapter skip. specifically the patch from at least before August. The safest bet would be the last 2017 patch.

If you need help downpatching you can look it up or I can make a quick guide for you!
I meant like it's own separate category different from Any% as you start with all of the skills unlocked and whatnot.
Was just wondering if there was going to be a NG+ category based on them adding it into the game in January
I recently was talking to John Williamson, he produced the game and was trying to get the game to work without the CD so I made a No CD patch here: https://github.com/KunoDemetries/AtlantisTrialByFireNoCD If you could add it to the games resources it'd be ight.
One of the major aspects of moderating any gameboard is being the consensus of the runners. Additionally looking through the discord there was no in-the public vote allowing for the runners to voice their opinions, and the excuse of "top runners made the decision" is also elitist and not taking every runner into account. Additionally there is no runner roles and the server is bear boned meaning the vote, that didn't happen, couldn't of happened with runners notice.
This game is sub 2 hours for most categories, these are typically lengths of runs. If the mod team cannot keep up with a 21 day limitation then search for more verifiers/moderators. If you can't find any that means the game isn't active enough to even warrant a change for this. It's ridiculous to even fathom the solution to seemingly a non-existent problem is to just outright ban intro level runs. Games like outlast, sm64, and countless others add and replace verifiers actively to keep up with submissions.
There are other boards that get 1000s of runs a week submitted and still verify 500+ place runs. Keep in mind you rejected a run that's +30 minutes from wr, and was currently wr for it's time. Which for a board like sm64 +30 minutes is 300/500th place. If they implemented a rule like this it'd nearly half their entire leaderboard.
Compared to the normal route this saves ~4 seconds, I felt that running up the stairs backward would make the lineup easier.
Because I don't really want to make an SRC threat every time I found something new I added a Series of Unfortunate Events in one of the discord servers I have for pretty much games a few people have interest in to limit a million servers I'm in when I want to run games with less than 5 runners lol. So I might post things in there: https://discord.gg/s3KBdU8uB9
So I decided to debug the game as I remembered it runs on UE2. You can open the original UE2 console by doing these steps
Within the game's files go to System/Default.ini and open the file. Scroll down until you see "Paths=C:\Users\pcname"

Follow the path (ignore the *.usa), go outside of the Save folder so you see game.ini
and User.ini,
and open the User.ini
folder.
Bind any of the buttons to showlog, Additionally, this is where you can bind a controller to work with the game. Save and close the file. https://imgur.com/vWyRi8T
Open the game and spam press the key you binded to showlog.
A very powerful command you can use is the open
command which lets you open any of the map files. (Go to your maps folder to view the names as they're pretty straightforward to know which is which.)
Make sure you're game is not fullscreen
Additionally, do not edit the file in game/system as you'll kill your game from launching.
One of the biggest things for a console is a capture card, one of the main streamline ones is Elgato which usually goes for (USD) $100-150 depending on where you get them. However, there are alternatives that are cheaper.
I'd suggest watching this video:
My apologies, you are correct. IDK why I thought every runner was running with the load remover (I'm braindead my bad.) I'll adjust their times to match the correct method of timing, additionally, I'll be posting a news post on how to use the load remover for the game.
cool
