Hi all! i stumbled across this mod: https://www.reddit.com/r/lisathepainfulrpg/comments/63u4m7/my_lisa_the_painful_mod_is_finally_out_more_info/
among other things, it allows for cutscenes to be skipped! and every other option seems like it wont affect normal any% gameplay, as most deal with pain mode. Additionally, most if not all of the major bugs with the mod have been resolved according to the thread.
I've heard a lot of people dropped this game because having to sit through the opening cutscene after each reset is brutal, so I thought this would make the speedrun a lot more enjoyable!
as for rules, i would suggest having the timer start when selecting "yes" when prompted to skip the opening cutscene, and have the end be the same as regular any%. If we really wanted to make sure the only mod enabled is cutscene skipping, the npc at the far left reviews what mods are or aren't active.
i'd appreciate if others would test the mod as well, just to make sure its ok!
Here's a (unfortunately rusty) run with the mod if anyone's interested.
It skips: the intro beating up rick horrace's backstory
One other QoL thing I really like is that it changes Terry's dialogue box to prevent you from activating pain mode by accident. I didn't experience anything unusual, so I think it's all good to use.
Here is my no cutscenes run, like Lucid said it cuts out 3 cutscenes the most important being the intro. My 2 gold splits show you how much time you can save, somewhere around 9 minutes of cutscenes. Didn't have any technical problems either. And WR Kappa ;-)
i spoke with the creator of the mod, and he expressed interest in making a mod that's just for cutscene skipping, if anyone would be interested in that! but i think this works for what we do right now

the main reason being is that he put in a lot of bug fixes with char stats that are always on but not toggleable
Yeah I noticed the ability to skip roulette is always on as well as the ability to use bike on screens you were previously not able to. I would like to not have these changes if possible.
That is really cool! I agree with GunDog that the ability to use bike should be as before. Are you guys able to download version 1.2.2 ? It doesn't work for me.
THe mod maker said hed be willing to do it! Which cutscenes do we want to skip besides the intro, if any?
I wouldn't want to skip anything other than the intro. The problem with the intro is that you see it everytime you have to reset (which is often). I consider the bulldozer cutscene too funny to skip :D
I think personally id wanna skip the intro and the tardy rides, as they don’t require inputs
heck, thinking about it more i think just the intro is fine with me too, everything else is what makes me love the game LOL
I personally think there should be more cutscenes to skip. The 3 alone are just fine. The sailing scenes IMO should be skippable, along with some other minor scenes.
I wouldn't see the point in creating a separate mod if we just made a new category. :P Just my thoughts.
im down to discuss it more! also, gonna take the category down until we come to a consensus on how we want it to run
hey, good news! the mod is done, and will feature the option to toggle which cutscenes to skip! bad news is that the dude's internet is shot so he cant upload it rn. https://imgur.com/C8QZoyV
so, what cutscenes do we wanna skip? super secret option is we can make skipping just the intro part of any% and make a new category for all of em, but i think thatd be unfair to people with runs in any% currently. still, itd feel weird to make a new category for only skipping the intro, and then adding one where you skip multiple scenes.
thoughts?
tbh would it be bad to have a "no intro" and a "not cutscenes" category? i guess it could potentially spread the runs thin seeing as we dont have a lot of active runners here
