Hey there, I was streaming some IL runs and someone in my chat mentioned to me that the timer works differently between 3.6 and P+.
We noticed that in 3.6, the timer goes up to .99 while P+ only goes up to .60 in milliseconds.
Would this timer change anything when it comes to submitting times while running on P+? Not sure if final times would be different between the two versions due to how the in-game timer calculates time.
Thanks!
Our current policy is just to convert all P+ times into seconds & milliseconds, which makes them directly comparable to all the previous runs from PM
To convert frames to milliseconds, you simply follow this formula and round it the the nearest whole number: (milliseconds)=(frames)/60*100
If you're not sure if you've applied the formula correctly when submitting a time, the mods will convert the time for you and make sure it is correct
It may also be beneficial to convert the old PM times to frames, to compare them to P+ when doing attempts. If you want to do this, simply use the formula in reverse (and round to nearest whole number): (frames)=(milliseconds)/100*60
You can use this table to quickly convert from P+ time to PM time. Note that you only need to do this for the digits behind the decimal point, as time in seconds and minutes are unaffected by version.
P+ --> PM .00 --> .00 .01 --> .02 .02 --> .03 .03 --> .05 .04 --> .07 .05 --> .08 .06 --> .10 .07 --> .12 .08 --> .13 .09 --> .15 .10 --> .17 .11 --> .18 .12 --> .20 .13 --> .22 .14 --> .23 .15 --> .25 .16 --> .27 .17 --> .28 .18 --> .30 .19 --> .32 .20 --> .33 .21 --> .35 .22 --> .37 .23 --> .38 .24 --> .40 .25 --> .42 .26 --> .43 .27 --> .45 .28 --> .47 .29 --> .48 .30 --> .50 .31 --> .52 .32 --> .53 .33 --> .55 .34 --> .57 .35 --> .58 .36 --> .60 .37 --> .62 .38 --> .63 .39 --> .65 .40 --> .67 .41 --> .68 .42 --> .70 .43 --> .72 .44 --> .73 .45 --> .75 .46 --> .77 .47 --> .78 .48 --> .80 .49 --> .82 .50 --> .83 .51 --> .85 .52 --> .87 .53 --> .88 .54 --> .90 .55 --> .92 .56 --> .93 .57 --> .95 .58 --> .97 .59 --> .98
Example: You get a time of 2:14.34 (2 min, 14 s) in P+, and you need to convert it to a PM time. What you need to do, is look up .34 in the table, and replace it with its corresponding number (.57), like so: 2:14.34 --> 2:14.57 As you can see, the only thing that changed was the number after the decimals, and that change is found in the table above
If you don't want to use the table, you can always use this formula directly: (PM time) = (P+ time)/60*100
All of these examples has been changing P+ time into the standard PM time If you want to do it the other way around, you use the table in the opposite direction
