Im afraid this cant be allowed at this time. I do understand the convinience of that, however - it would be a bit tricky to check for sudden (abuse) of fast forward usage within the run and while its true that the game uses IGT for the end-time, the way IGT is calculated is done with the ingame frames, this means using the fast-forward function could potentially introduce frame skipping within the emulator and corrupt the times- though this hasent been checked yet but the fast forward function within duckduck is known to be kind of "maybe working"

And i try to streamline rules with our friends over at Dino2 and they have similar rules to turbo / cpu clockspeed for similar reasons.

New Download link added. You can have a go now!

MEGA took it down, i have to check if i have a version locally otherwise i will do a new pack. thank you for the info.

Run was ok to be verified since you ran on Console and it was visible on your cam that you actually left for the trash. gj on the run

Some additional Info:

Similar effect with doorskipping can be archived via Cheatenginge and other programs. However only usage of this specific Mod is allowed for the Leaderboard.

I will not enforce a rule that needs to show the dialog Windows of the Doorskip Mod as its just inconvenient, however if something with a submitted run seems fishy related to the doorskip and potentially other behavior, your run will be declined! So please keep that in mind. :)

Thanks to the effort of our small but great Dino1 community Members we have now a viable option to allow DoorSkip within Dino1 PC Version.

Credits goes out to Unicorngoulash wand Icescythe7 of the DinoCrisis Wiki Discord and Farmery87 for his efforts to get this going.

The Mod is compatible with the current REBirth Patch. I've made a ZIP Archive that includes all files needed for the DoorSkip & REBirth Patch. The Archive can be downloaded at the Ressource Section of the SpeedRun Website or clicking the following link: https://www.speedrun.com/resourceasset/kzgcz

Usage is very easy - just drop all 3 Files into your DinoCrsis Root directory and replace it with current vanilla files.

WARNING(!) Due to the nature of the Patch that it hooks itself into the Game, there is a chance that your AntiVirus or Windows will notify you for a Virus / Malware Threat. This is a false-positive and can be ignored. Make sure to just simply allow / whitelist the DINO.exe .

After everything is ready to go - just start the Game as usual via the DINO.exe and once loaded up you can Press F12 to activate the DoorSkip Mod.

Please enjoy and good luck with your next Runs!

You can also find alot of help and details in the ressource section of the site. But joining the discord is always a good start :)

Here is the thing tho. Generally speaking - for any% you can pick which route youever like. No one is stopping you for picking rick instead of gail. The problem im seeing here and why im not willing to make another category yet is basically the same i've said a few times - lack of people running the game.

Let me give you some insight why - before a big cry starts out.

In the last month when i added seperate console categorie and adding hardmode too - almost ever run submitted last month where by Farmery getting the console WR for almost all boards - gj for that. However - due to lack of other people actually running, submitting runs and trying to challenge current times and WR's - DinoCrisis will end up being Farmerys personal game / leaderboard. And adding more categories just so that 1 or 2 persons can instantlly get another "hard fought" WR just makes no sense.

Back when the discussion about seperating PC and Console came up - "many" people spoke up to have them added - to make running the game more attractive. Now where are those people? Have they suddenly left? I see the same people here "liking" posts and stuff - but never actually run the game or submitted a run to the board - even after making the changes you guys wanted.

So again - due to inactivity and lack of active running people - no additional categories will be added (for now). Be competitive at the current big variety of categories without just the same 1 or 2 persons to submit runs - and once there is a much more active playerbase im more than happy to discuss category additions.

I hope you guys understand my points - im not in general against it - but it just makes no sense to add more and more categories if basically just 1 or 2 persons are running the game. I agreed with the console / pc split it made sense in some ways and alot of people were talking about that and i hoped to get more people involved and more people tyring to beat each others times - however what happend is that just the same 1 - 2 guys subbmitted runs to the new / splitted cateogies.

I appreciate the suggestion and there are many more potential categorie possibilites , like for example the need to kill the trex every encounter instead of running from him and so on. But again with basically no active player base even trying to compete on the very basic categories - there is really no point in adding even more.

Its about beating each other to a better and faster time - and not getting a "WR" on an almost dead game with no competition.

Hi DC1 Runners.

The game is now split up between PC and Console version on all categories. Please understand that there will no extra leaderboard for different consoles. DC1 uses IGT instead of RTA , and on console the IGT is counted by frames and its the same across all console versions so it doesnt matter which console you pick, the time will always be the same, (as the IGT is timed via frames this means, on loading scenes / room transitions the timer is stopped)

additionally for fun and if someone is looking for a challenge, there is now Any% HARDMODE category - so go out there and test your dino RNG luck

it was already discussed with actuall dc1 runners on the DC1 discord - and i already said that i will work on categories this weekend

waiting for your next run Sjotyme uncluding a Pause just for the fun of it :P

just pause on your next run to make it more dramatic :P

You can pause the game yes as we use IGT and not RTA. Video ofcourse should not be cut, otherwise its considered as segmented

Friendly reminder to PC Runners. Always make sure to have the latest REbirth patch running. You can download the latest on the Resources section or on the website https://appleofeden.de-doc.com/index.php/dino-crisis-classic-rebirth/

DC1 was and almost is a dead game in terms of ppl activily running the game. for every person and potentially new people running the game, the PC version is the most easy way to get into the game for running, as console needs a retail copy of the game, capture cards and so on. additionally, most runs are being done on pc especially now with the rebirth patch. so splitting up the game even more is not an option for now at all and will not be considered.

@ShadowDraft

thanks for your reply. However as i said i want him to be on a verifier / regular mod role. However i cant change that as deadhunter is currently the "main" / first super mod / owner of the game. He is inactive and i want him to be removed from that role.

Thank you in advance.

Hey,

currently on DinoCrisis 2 ( https://www.speedrun.com/dino2 ) the former main super mod - has been inactive for a long time. As i am the only active mod of all 3 titles in the series as well as the only series mod i would kindly request to promote me to the main super mod in dc2 and set 666Deadhunter to a regular mod / verifier role.

Thank you. Dodi

the original run and vid file by zeno is saved in my cloud if something goes wrong with his japanese host. However, same reason goes as for lucianos run. Additionally asking "why" ? do you want to have these things changed. There is no practical reason behind that and if i checked correctly you dont seem to be running / submitting anything to DC1 , it all just seems very random and out of nowhere

Thanks for your work, however his run / submission will not be changed. His run / parts are on his personal youtube account and there is no reason to change that

No as i said i did not suspect him in doing a segmented run neither here or his DC2 run, however overall its not every helpfull if the main person involved avoids a conversation when just simply asked. and yes you are right a single file does not 100% proof that it is not a segmented / cut together run, however it will easier to check and i know that back in the old YT days you had a video time restriction unless you were a partner thats why his run will be an exeption and stays on Any% as there is simply not enough valid reasons and proof that it is in fact segmented like Zenos run for example. At the end of the day i just want this barely run games like DC1 and 2 to be as friendly and "clean" as possibleand hope we can get this sorted out over at DC2
