Hi everyone.

The mod team has decided that it's time to clean up some problematic categories within the CE boards, specifically extremely short categories such as Low% and Hooker. The reason for this is that due to their extremely short nature and src's lack of proper tools to retime runs, it is impossible to have an accurate and competitive leaderboard for these categories without the mods needing to download each video and frame count them manually.

This simply isn't a good use of the mod's time, and can easily lead to burnout if the team needs to do this for hundreds of runs, it simply isn't viable.

The categories that will be removed are:

GTA3 - Hooker, Low% GTAVC - Hooker, Low% GTASA - Hooker, Low% GTALCS - Low% GTAVCS - Low% GTAIV - Low%

Apologies to those who have worked on these categories, but as always this serves as a reminder that you don't need a leaderboard to run something.

Furthermore, since all of the categories that (im)properly used milliseconds for timing are being removed, we are going to remove milliseconds from the CE boards from now on. This is due to almost all ms submissions being inaccurate anyway. We may look at this once more if a new category arrives that would require it, or if src make actual tools to help verify with ms values.

The rules for San Andreas's Any% MDvMMw/CE category have undergone a slight change. Now you are only allowed to change the $ONMISSION variable in the game's memory using tools like Cheat Engine or On-Mission Changer.

The point of this change is to restore the original goal of the category, which was to see how fast San Andreas could be beaten if you were allowed to manipulate the $OM flag as freely as you can in GTA III or Vice City.

If you have any further questions about this rule change, feel free to reach out to the moderation team!
