I usually don't make New Year's Resolutions, but I looked back at 2014. I had many personal projects in mind: GTAX, BD:DFBF, and finally GTA Long Night mod Segmented run. Never got to work on any of these projects as much because I was afraid that I was going to fall behind on my main speedruns.

So I present to you, the Long Night mod segmented run.

Managed to beat my estimate by 5 minutes. This was kind of rushed because I had other work to do, but it doesn't have many major mistakes. I might come back and finish a proper segmented run for this mod but for now, enjoy.

Final time:

0:38 (IGT) 41:37 (RTA)

For those who've played the mod or seen it, the mission "Showing Off" only took 2 tries (ironic because I abandoned the project because of it). Although "Dead Drop Rush" took ~5.

fuck this mod. Also, congratulations

Too bad the video is broken.

For some reason the forum broke the video recently, maybe me reposting it will work:

Yeah, it got caught in the security mess so it broke. Thanks for the repost. lol

Necroposting god here

After being bored due to the lack of streams to watch, I decided to revisit this mod. 10+ hours of re-routing and engineering, I was able to muster up enough confidence to do this all in one go. Unfortunately not in a single segement due to the instability of the mod but still quite the feat none the less.

New Stuff

• A good chunk of the bikers in Closed Set can largely be ignored. If, however, the bus is on fire, quickly drive to the mark to extinguish (This can be seen in the beginning of the vod, though I was unsuccessful). • In Cold Turkey, you can take a boat to Washington Beach instead of grabbing the bike at Pier 1. More hassle is involved as zombies can block you as you try to jump on land. As long as you can keep track of the water waves, you should be fine. • In the same mission, the only item that you are required to get is the note located in the back room to the left. Followed up with the key card which I will touch on later. • * The Stoner and Diabetic missions (White Seed, Lighting Up and Playing Dr.) with the exception of Cold Turkey are not required. You can go straight to Showing Off without their missions.

• = Huge improvement over the last run.

General Knowledge and Tips

• SAVE. This shit will crash yo (It'll always find a way). • Closed Set: As you can collect the last key card in Stage B to trigger the cutscene sequence, you cannot finish the mission unless you collect them in the correct order. • Cold Turkey: You need to collect the key card and free the prisoner; this part of the mission is required. Fail to do so and you will not have any new missions available after Showing Off which a lot of players experienced. • No fault to theirs, there is a playthrough of the aforementioned mission (a popular one I may add) that incorrectly does this mission but doesn't disclose this nor show any struggle of unlocking later missions.

Said playthrough as bbcode no longer works.

• Showing Off is a mission that can be difficult due to seemingly random factors (fucked driving paths that result in both the truck and the heli becoming stuck at some points; thanks for the gazillion checkpoints, Hellfish). But on the off-chance that things are smooth, here are some tips: • A good place to shoot is inbetween the bikers. Here you will have a chance to shoot either the gunner or the driver which works. In other words, aim better lol. • This may seem scary but don't let the truck leave your sight when shooting the bikers. They can easily teleport directly behind the truck with easy line of sight of the barrels. • Remember that there are only 4 (four) bikers. If you only fought off 3 (three) then be on the look out for the other.

is that dumb phenon penh mission still hard or is there a trick to it 👀

I cover this before I concluded the post but I would say not really to both. During my extensive stream where I tried to figure out the softlock issue, I had to complete that mission several times to see if certain theories worked and didn't have too much of an issue. Even during attempts I only recall failing the mission once out of two attempts that made it that far.

For reference: Showing Off is the Phenon Penh equivalent.
