Hi, Since a lot of Lego games have a "Free Play RTA" or "Any% Free Play" sort of category, I think this game should have one too.
I suggest the following rules:
- Play through all the 12 story levels in free play mode, in any order you like
- If the game crashes or softlocks, you can continue the level from that part (since you can choose (in free play) which part of the level you want to go to)
- Red bricks are allowed
Here's a run of mine:
I started the time when entering the character select screen, not sure if that's a good place to start though. I think the time should be stopped when entering the last cutscene, as shown in my run. Or maybe at the "level complete" screen or something.
Adding a Co-op category for this would be nice too. (And one for NG+ too, pls). I hope some of you mods would read this and make this an actual category. Thanks.
In the Any% runs I saw Blood_thunder and Zemanzo skipping the hallways by going to the menu with a keybind or something. Does anybody know what the keybind is?
EDIT: found it in the SDA forums: https://forum.speeddemosarchive.com/post/quantum_conundrum_26.html
quoting Blood_thunder:
Go to your steamapp files -> common -> Quantum Conundrum -> Engine -> Config -> BaseInput
under 'general bindings', paste: (you can make Tab any key you want).
Bindings=(Name="Tab",Command="Disconnect")
Edit: problem solved, check my next comment
In Episode 4, chapter 4 Rescue the Princess, there's a bug in which Obi-Wan should use force to make you a bridge after you've killed the troopers that are in front of him. But sometimes he doesn't appear, at least not instantly. In some cases he appeared like 1 minute later though, but that's bad for speedrunning :( Has anyone encountered this bug before and know how to fix it? I'm playing on PC, in Steam.
Here's a picture of the matter: Obi-Wan should come in from the door on the right Thanks for the help.
Heyy
I made this thread if anyone wants to post shortcuts, bugs, glitches, new strats or something else speedrun-related stuff.
My youtube playlist https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDumGiJCL49h3JyEpuyHSiJ8vn_H1EQVt includes some IL speedruns (played on PC) if anyone's interested. I follow mostly the Original Lego Star Wars speedrun routes (in speed demos archive) but there's a couple of new shortcuts and stuff. I'll try to have the motivation to make videos of all the remaining chapters but I hope these will be helpful to any speedrunners :) Edit: I've speedran all the chapters
EDIT2: I annotated all the videos in that playlist, I hope they'll make my in-game decisions clearer :)
Could this game have single level leaderboards? I'd love to speedrun single levels. :)
