I think that would split the runs up too much for there being no runners. But if people do some runs I will see if there is interest.

Will add 1P and 2P runs of 1CC

Thank you!

Hello,

Can we add a 2P category for this game? I am going to run it with my arcade running partner.

Thank you!

And what is the point of RTA if IGT is the official one used and RTA doesnt matter?

That makes sense to me. I generally dislike two methods, but I want to be respectful to people with slower machines where load times might be a factor.

I will redo my run and set up the boards on Remastered to match.

Honestly given the IGT, I am a fan of IGT only. Then we dont have to deal with movies and load time oddities. Will update my runs and the Rules to reflect if you agree.

See previous thread: https://www.speedrun.com/baldurs_gate_dark_alliance_ii/thread/k0qfr

The general position was "Do a run and sure"

Doesnt the Remaster count as its own separate game and would be added as such with its own rules and stuff and not impact this game?

Sorry but I am not entirely sure what the second and third items are(control panel autopilot and secret text adventure). All tests use maximum bunny hopping where possible.

Test 3: Faster to walk the solar panel or drive it out?

• Test: P1 spawns a solar panel and begins walking to the red solar panel. (Test both spot 1 and 4). P2 runs to rover, enters rover, drives to spawn, exits rover, spawns solar panel, places solar panel on back of cart, enters rover, drives to red solar panel, exits rover, picks up solar panel off cart

• Result: Rover driver wins with the walker being about 50-75% of the way to the solar panel.

• Conclusion: When replacing solar panels, it is always faster to get a rover and drive it over.

Will be posting the results of speed testing I do on various approaches here. Feel free to dispute with evidence, the faster the better!

Test 1: Faster to repair red couplers or replace?

• Test: P2 Put new coupler next to red linked coupler. P1 Put welding robot next to other red coupler. On start, P2 disconnects red coupler, drops wrench, connects hoses to new coupler, picks up wrench, and secures hoses to new coupler. P1 uses robot to Repair red coupler.

• Result: Robot repair easily won, and thats before we even factored in the time of needing to run the coupler over.

• Conclusion: Better to repair red couplers than to try and replace them in any run.

Test 2: Faster to drive robots to middle of field or stay close?

• Test: P1 spawns arm robot, walks it sufficient distance from initial spawn, deploys it. Then repeats with weld robot. P2 runs to moon rover, gets in, drives to spawn, spawns arm robot, loads onto cart, spawns weld robot, loads onto cart, boards rover, drives to middle of field, removes robots, deploys robots.

• Result: Spawn walking robots wins. Was able to easily walk over and deploy two robots that had range to reach/repair any component well before rover was able to get into place.

• Conclusion: On any 1P map atleast spawning robots and walking them to a sufficient range they can do all jobs is better than using the rover. This may not be the case if you have extra people to load the rover to cut down on exit/entry time in higher player counts.

Can we have a category for 2 player? Perhaps the rules could be each level you add your two times together and then final time is all levels added together?

Download the full iso, not the russian rip. Install the patches, BUT NOT THE NO-CD, if you already patched the original exe with no-cd, uninstall and reinstall. Mount the .ISO into windows virtual drive, or install daemon tools and use virtual drive created by daemon tools, no-cd is useless, does not work, you need the ISO file in virtual drive in order to play. (In Windows 10 (as with Windows 8. x), you can simply double-click an ISO file to mount it as a virtual DVD drive. That virtual drive shows up in File Explorer with its own drive letter, and it acts just like a DVD.)

For widescreen support: Download dgVoodoo2 http://dege.freeweb.hu/dgVoodoo2/dgVoodoo2/

Extract it somewhere

Open the MS\x86 folder and copy D3D8.dll, D3DImm.dll and DDraw.dll files to the starship trooper install dir

Start the game using <path-to-game>\setup.exe.

Press Configure and select dgVoodoo DirectX Wrapper as your driver.

Then press Play to launch the game.

In the game options menu select a resolution that is smaller than the one set in dgVoodoo, but has the same aspect ratio. This will make the in-game interface larger; the smaller the resolution set in the options menu, the bigger will the in-game interface be rendered on screen.

Roger, thanks for the warning. We wont be doing that, just the Barb and the Necro most likely.

Thank you for your helpful Guides which we have looked at.

Hello,

Me and my friend are working a recording for the PS2 version 2P coop mode.

We were wondering if it would be possible to get a 2P category when we complete the run?

Thank you

The moon crown will be mine one day.

Hello,

When trying to submit a solo run in the 2P map category you are unable to.

https://www.speedrun.com/Moonbase_Alpha/run/mk9opx5z

You are forced to enter 2 names, otherwise you get the error "Not enough players entered"

If you try to enter your name twice, you get the error "Can not enter duplicate names"

Can someone fix this? Thank you.

Few notes:

1. There is a certain amount of RNG I think, if you get a bunch of employees trying to get off work or something, only + a few seconds though

2. In some cases you dont have your cursor where it needs to be for spam clicking to next page (like on music record pages)

3. You misclick a little when moving people to Shift A ~3:50. I dont think you need to move every single person so that can save a few seconds

Even so, by the end of car key turn on Day 1 you are ~3 seconds behind my run, and by that point literally nothing has happened yet.

One of the things I see is that the paper plop sequence seems to be a little frame lag for you? And the third paper manages to plop down entirely, when on my run it doesnt even hit the table because I am spamming the next button.

I think load times play a large part of your issue (or frame issues maybe?), but there are some ways you can save still.

If you could upload your level splits that would save me some time!

I am coming for your gold trophy >:)
