Hey runners! Today we are releasing rng mod for pre-SuperBLT updates, thanks to the hard work of James for creating the SuperBLT Classic Updates Support mod, which allows SuperBLT to work on any update of the game. We also worked together to get RNG Modifier working on those early updates. It wouldn't have been possible without him, so massive thank you to James! We have made 2 different bundles that include BLT, SuperBLT Classic Updates Support and RNG Modifer, as there is a split in updates, where you need a different BLT version for each to work. Additionally, the bundled RNG Modifer versions contain extra RNG options for the Update 47 and below, that doesn't exists in the game anymore. Link to the 2 new Versions: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1yQeQJCPp5xItcDt67EaWyvWJBcqwGzaB?usp=drive_link James also included the ability to have update-specific saves in SuperBLT Classic Update Support, the setup for which is explained on the page for the mod here: https://modworkshop.net/mod/48011 (important to note that this uses the local saves that you can find in your local appdata, rather than the steam userdata and any previous save data you have for early updates may not work, so you may have to remake your save) The rules have also been changed to reflect allowed usage of SuperBLT Classic Updates Support within speedruns, here's the update to Game Rule 2 in regards to downpatched runs on updates that used to have no prior SuperBLT Support:
"Exception to the no mods allowed: SuperBLT Classic Update Support - a mod that allows the use of RNG Modifier on updates that came before the release of SuperBLT. If you're running on such an update, it is MANDATORY to show that you have no other mods installed other than SuperBLT Classic Update Update Support and RNG modifier by either going into options and clicking on "BLT mods" or going back into the main menu of the game and clicking on the mod manager menu in the bottom left. In co-op ALL players MUST have a POV recorded and perform a mod check as is listed above. IMPORTANT: Even if you're not using any mods, you still have to show the proof of that by doing either of the steps above (showing the lack of the "BLT mods" menu or going back into the main menu of the game), otherwise your run will be rejected! This is applicable to runs done after 30/11/2024 on updates 153 and below (at least around the update, as the exact update where normal SuperBLT stops working is currently unknown)."
Enjoy!
Hey runners! A bit late of an announcement of the new categories voting results, but they all ended up being voted in favour of, so we decided to announce it when the new categories along with the rules, as well as the new version of the speedrunning mod that includes the "no slowmotion" toggle are
