Several Important Updates/Changes
Posted 2 months ago by

Over the past few weeks, the moderation team has been hard at work with perfecting the boards of DLD. Here is a list of the important changes we have made to the boards.

Major Changes

  • Allowing modifications: Several modifications have been officially allowed to use in runs. They all use the DLD modder "Gimloader" and can be found in the Resources page (the TAS modification isn't allowed, of course). A guide to installing them into Gimkit can be found HERE. What these modifications do is desync the Gim from where the server thinks it is, allowing you to do things such as play back your inputs or teleport to summits.
  • Release Physics is runnable again: The Creative Platforming Patch mod has been changed to allow you to run Release Physics as well! This resource can be found HERE.
  • Pre-boosts Ban: Pre-boosts have been banned from Current Patch Level runs, due to a lack of time save.
  • Major re-timing change: ALL full game and level runs (except tutorial) now have the ending frame of the first frame of the edge of the last eye crossed the bumpiest/outermost part of the end platform of the suummort floor or climb complete floor. The starting frame has remained the same. All existing full game runs and current patch level runs have already been re-timed with this method, however some Creative Platforming Patch and Release Physics level runs are still in the process of being re-timed.
  • Mods Annotation: The "Mods" annotation has been created to display if your run was modded or not, and if it was modded then displaying whether you used a mod that desynced the Gim or not.
  • Modded Board: A modification board for this game has been created, which allows you to jump higher/move faster/fall faster, etc. It can be found HERE.
  • Banned Gims: Several Gims have been banned from the game to use, due to the accuracy required for re-timing being based on the eyes of the Gim. The globally banned Gims are Day One, Chompz, Tropicool, Josh, Raveena, Bonesy, Flurry, Libre, Gimbit (Green), Gimbit (Purple), Gimbit (Red), and Gimbit (Cyan). Captain Buck is banned in Full game runs and Summit 1: Emberwall Ascent.
  • Category Extentions: Some subcategories/subcategory values have been deleted/created due to release physics being playable again.

Minor Changes

  • Category Names: Names of categories in Category Extensions have been modified.
  • Subcategory Value Name Change: "Knockback Patch" has been renamed to "Current Patch" to limit confusion.
  • Rebrand: The first-fourth place icons have been replaced with icons of a single terrain block of each Summit Floor.

Moderation Team Changes

  • ggnewoo has finally been removed as a Super Moderator!
  • ImmortalWarrior0 and I have been made as a Super Moderator.

If you have any questions about reasoning for changes, ask moderators.
