Hello fellow speedrunnners.
I am trying to speedrun barry mod version 1.6 which i noticed received an update too, which changed the items location (i am not talking about version 2.1).
I am trying to figure out a best route for mansion 1 as the items are in different locations as the runs on the leaderboard. You start with a magnum (with 0 rounds) and a FAS (no knife), in the main hall instead of a beretta you have magnum rounds on the floor.
It seems the game forces me to go shoot the zombie and push the statue on the 2nd floor (like in the chris run) because if i go to the blue door in the beginning and the pick the key in the furniture where is a zombie, the game crashes, i tried a few times and it crashed all the time.
Its crashing even if i go to the jill cutscene in the safe room and go back to pick the key, but if i go to other locations first it wont crash. Weird but i havent figured out the issue with the crash.
The lighter is in the place of a crest in the gas room, and the music score is in the mirror room in the first floor. The chemical is outside where there is two dogs, the knife is in the safe room where normally the chemical is on chris run.
There is a key in the 2nd floor where you have to light the candles and push the drawer. the guardhouse i think is the same and mansion 2 there is a mo disk in the place of the red book and if i remember correctly the red book is on 2nd floor in the area where the battery is located (sorry i dont know exactly the room name).
I am trying to figure out the best route on mansion 1 without overlapping too much, it seems that this way you have to go back and forth more than in the chris run, but unlike some of you, i know the map but not like in a route optimized way, if i can say that :)
It seems that if i kill the zombie with the magnum the crash won´t happen, so somehow the crash is something related to that zombie.
I noticed too that the FAS that we start with can be used a few times before actually dissappearing.
Crazy stuff :D
I've uploaded the same v1.6 patch that the runners on the board have used to the resources a little while back. Make sure you're using that for those runs.
Yes i am using the version avaliable in the resources, but as i said before, its not like the two runs avaliable on 1.6 leaderboard anymore.. The textures are like the original and the items are not in the same place, go test it yourself if you dont believe me.
And regarding the autosplitter, livesplit say there is no autosplitter avaliable for this version, the settings option are greyed out (i tried using the .lss and the .asl avaliable in the resources but it wont start/stop/split so what i am doing is using the built-in IGT of the game, which is accurate anyway.
i have no problems using livesplit in other resident evil versions or categories, i dont know how those two runs on the leaderboard have used the autosplitter.
Okay, I see what happened. I fucked up and uploaded an old version of v1.6 that I still had on my PC. Kinda surprised that was still called v1.6, to be honest. Thank you for bringing it to my attention! I've updated the file to the correct one. Please download that one and use that, otherwise it cannot be put on the same leaderboard. The splits were made with this version, so they will work this time.
The one I had uploaded was from 2 years ago and was an early early version of Barry's mod lol. Btw, in that early version, you should try rescuing Chris and see what happens lol.
LOL I was really convinced that i was playing the updated version because the 2.1 have the default textures too, i uploaded a run that i made to the 1.6 leaderboard, was still fun trying to figure out different routes!
From my perspective you should keep the two downloads avaliable as the barry version i was playing is a lot of fun too (and i prefer the default textures too), create a leaderboard for the "old" 1.6 version too, the version you uploaded now don´t even state 1.6 or anything so it is a bit of misleading.
I will not delete that version and might one day try the good ending then eheh.
Many thanks.
