Hello, Currently, I've realized that half of the runs were using a save to start the run, instead of the legal map command. I apologize for that, I didn't notice that they were using it, I was focusing on tracking illegal glitches instead. "Couldn't you tell us earlier, Pack ? FailFish " is how I imagine your possible reaction. I am very sorry about that, please forgive me. Like the original Portal, the decision to yes or no allow a vault save should be solved by a vote.
But before, what conditions for the vault save ? The vault save must be mentioned through a variable that will be added later. The vault save must be a few ticks before the crosshair appears and done with SourcePauseTool. Timing will remain the same as all Source engine games : when the crosshair appears.
What do I think of it : I think having a vault save for 10 seconds is really weird considering there are speedgames with 5 minutes of intro cutscenes. However, I don't run the game, so I am removing myself the right to vote.
Who can vote : Anyone with a run submitted without AND with vault save can vote. Anyone submitting a run without AND with vault save can vote too.
The vote starts now and closes :
- In two weeks maximum
- When every current runners has voted (considering the community isn't that large) : antigravitymomentum, BiiWiX, Fnzzy, Imita, Lyliya, NuSa , moose.hockey.63, Teslae.
How to vote : A "Yes." or a "No." to start your message followed by your comments, thoughts, ideas ... etc
Yes, but let us use our own saves that start whenever we want before the crosshair appears. It is such a dumb thing that does not require an official save or freezing all of the runs that have been done using the save.
Yes, but unique would just make it awful because you would have to go in and download a save before you can run, and time isn't counted anyway so why would you ever make it be enforced to all use same save, also some people might like a second before the run and some might like 2 seconds before the run so making it the same save for all would be stupid
Yes, this game is really fast paced so waiting 10 seconds will slow you down most likely. Also, there's not a reason to disallow it if the time before crosshair appearance doesn't matter to the end time at all.
Yes.
I didn't know if my vote would count because I hadn't submitted a run before(but you've watched me run the game before, so I wasn't sure), so I submitted a run so I could vote. I vote yes, if my vote counts.
edited because I didn't see the "how to vote"
