SwedenProbably the best way to learn a new run is to start out doing IL runs.
Full game runs are so much more complicated and more stuff to remember / think about.
They also changed some more levels with random small changes, I recommend reverting your game version using https://github.com/SteamRE/DepotDownloader
I removed/archived glitchless NLL, all the runs submitted there should be available in glitchless anyways. There's also no way to speed the game up by losing lifes, in fact it makes it slower. Another reason to remove it is that occasionally when moderating people also wouldn't upload to both despite fitting both categories, which either means inaccurate leaderboards or some minor moderator work.
If someone is has concerns or even any reason (even minor) why they don't like this please tell me, and i'm sorry.
Look up if you can install the adobe flash standalone player, then download the .swf file from here. I started speedrunning this game on linux with no issues performing the bug, should be the same I think. Also chromebooks absolutely suck as a product but that's besides the point.
Alternatively, play the glitchless category, I think it's more challenging and less stupid
Oh damn you're right. When I added LRT for some reason they all switched and I manually changed it back but I didn't do it to the obsolete runs. Damn lol

I remember trading the record multiple times and also remember making improvements over time, the stats graph just doesn't show this. I hope this type of history isn't lost forever... On the old site it used to work properly IIRC.
The site is literally unusable with 50% of features being buggy and Merl_ thinks it's an improvement. How about you test your updates before you publish them? Literally 5 minutes of browsing around will tell you that this new site is worse. The history is nice but everything else is just bad.
Even if the obvious bugs are fixed the site as a whole runs slower.
I used to have a table formatted that just doesn't show up at all now in the forums. The post was literally:

Another issue found, tables formatted in the forums don't show at all. Screw me I guess for trying to keep all the information on the same page
You need to press the tab key until its hovering over the upgrade, then press enter. You can buy even if you lack the money for the upgrade. Doesn't work on the ruffle flash player.
right click with the tower selected and hovering over somewhere placeable. Then input two left clicks at the same time (done with windows mouse key 5) on the adobe flash player or simply left click on NK archives player to place it.
I've got a strat in 3-4 where i go off screen, is it ok if I resize the screen so I can see the ball better?
There's no rule against it here but I know it's a rule in redball and it makes sense to some extent (not all flash players even allow resizing, and the game is clearly not meant to be resized like that). Anyways since there's no rule against it i'll go for it for now (and also cause it's cool o.o), but it should be clarified somewhere in the game rules if allowed or not.
This can't be version 4.8+ right? Since the major glitch is in to collect all the coins.
Since that glitch is allowed i think this record could be done a lot faster. Good run though.
Mainly the point of this is just to get fair competition at the highest level, and also stop me from being paranoid that my computer has gotten slower ;)
For technical reasons I struggled creating an autosplitter for livesplit for this game.
However, to keep competition fair by removing the difference between fast and slow computers I added optional LRT times. The load times are calculated using the tool https://github.com/milankarman/Unload . The tool works flawlessly for any% no cans, however for any% cans we have the issue of no consistant image being displayed when loading can transitions. This can be fixed by more manual work beyond just downloading the video.
Going forward I'll try to keep the top 3 times updated with LRT for any% no cans, the possibility is there to retime any% cans as well, may do this if times are close. Leaderboards will still be sorted by RTA time for the time being.
2.43 seconds of time loss due to lag on my machine using adobe flash over a 15 minute run using "high" quality and standard resolution. Not nearly as bad as I know it can get in btd2. Done by modding in a frame counter to get "ingame time" on the text usually used for lives.
