Massachusetts, USAAs series mod for the Rugrats videogame series, I was asked by a user last week to make Rugrats Go Wild as a game. I just now realized that somehow when making the game on the site, something glitched and there are two copies of the leaderboard - one which has the game setup as well as an empty any% leaderboard (the real one), and one that has absolutely nothing. I want to delete the bad one, but everything Im finding regarding deleting a game is not working, despite me being a series mod and super mod for the game. What am I missing, or is this because a week passed since making the game?
So after a few runs have been submitted and I have seen a few runs from different versions, I have reached the conclusion that IGT is completely inaccurate.
Looking specifically at the Football Cup runs done by ComradeMidas and Doopster made this apparent. ComradeMidas begins the race ~0:33 into the video and ends the first race ~2:56 into the video, meaning his IGT should be around a 2:23. Instead, they have a 1:55.288. Now look at Doopsters run. Their first race begins ~0:32 into the video and ends ~2:48 into the video, meaning their IGT should be around a 2:16 (or around 7 seconds faster than ComradeMidas). Instead, their IGT is a 2:10.528
At first, I thought this was a version difference between PAL, NTSC, and whatever version our Russian runners are using (It may also be PAL, I'm unsure sadly). However, look at the current WR run for all cups done by Genia. Their first race begins at ~10 seconds into the video and ends at ~1:53 into the video, making their theoretical IGT around a 1:43. Their IGT actually is a 1:43.348, meaning their IGT is almost certainly 100% accurate!
At this point, all I can say is I am confused by this games IGT. If anyone has ideas as to how all of this can be explained, please let me know. I'm sure it has at least some explanation regarding frames per second, since afaik games in Europe (and I presume Russia?) run in 50 FPS as opposed to 60 FPS like the USA.
Anyways, to solve all this, main timing has been switched from IGT to RTA to make things consistent (hopefully).
Can someone give me a way to get the PC port? I've tried doing ps2 runs off and on for a year now, but the game keeps crashing on me.
Q: What does SC mean/what is Star Cancelling?
A: SC, or Star Cancelling, refers to a glitch that causes the star grabbing animation not to play, and as such you stay in a level after grabbing a star. This glitch is usually performed using Rosalina's spin ability, but can also be triggered by switching characters in a certain way.
Q: I started a run, and me or a partner already have a star/key, despite it being a brand new file. Why?
A: In as simple of a way as I can put it, you have a ghost star/ghost key. In order to avoid it, after any attempt that a star/key is obtained, either reset the server or use a different file.
Q: What does IL mean?
A: Individual Level
Q: In a 70 star co-op run, is mips clip allowed?
A: Technically yes, it is allowed. However, I highly advise using the other door clip method where someone jumps on the other person's head.
Q: Why does solo 120 only have Toad, Yoshi, and Waluigi as options?
A: Luigi, Wario, Peach, and Rosalina all have a broken wing cap in that it's impossible to get all 8 red coins in the wing-cap stage. As such, it is literally impossible to get 120 as only those characters.
Q: I want to do a co-op speedrun, but I need people to do it with!
A: Best bet is to ask in the discord ( https://discord.gg/Kvjrcfn ).
Q: What's Stage RTA (SC)?
A: Stage RTA (SC) aims to utilize star cancelling as much as possible through a run of one level. However, you're not restricted to just using Rosalina; you can use multiple characters throughout the attempt, but your variable will be "Multi" instead of "Rosalina" when submitting.
Q: I made a forum and it was deleted! Why?
A: After seeing hundreds of forum posts on other games, I've found many forums repeat themselves/are unnecessary. As such, once a forum seems to be dead, it will be deleted unless there is a good reason to keep it. If the forum brings up a good question, the question will be added to this F.A.Q.
Q: My question is not here!
A: First things first, remain calm! Secondly, check in the questions forum. If your question still is not there, then for a speedy answer, I'd ask in the SM64O discord (invite in other forum). If you don't use discord or really don't wanna join, then ask in the questions forum. If you create another forum, we will answer you, but the forum will probably get deleted.
So, I was recently made mod of this board and as such I have been reorganizing this board. I've taken many suggestions from the forums, and have done what I felt best for this board, however a couple of things just so people know.
-
I made a discord for this game. While I don't see it being active, I do think it will be good to have so people can easily ask questions or even find people to race. Here is the link - https://discord.gg/WXbZqWM
-
I am talking to the mods of the PC page about completely going separate. Talks are in the early stages, however I am confident we can separate our boards.
-
IL's are now a thing! I've only added a few so far, however I welcome any IL as long as you do a run of it first. I don't want any empty IL's on the board just cause.
If there's any questions on anything, please use discord, as I would like to not clutter up these forums any more than they already are. That being said, have fun going fast!
A friend and I would like to start doing co-op runs on xbox 360. However, with xbox we can't completely reset the co-op mode. As such, is it ok for us to start and end time when everyone else does, and do the courses in order, just with all of them unlocked from the start?
So someone verified a new WR for any% today, which clearly is not any%. Its just the guy doing minigolf. This is ridiculous, as just reading the youtube title states its minigolf, as does the comment. Im asking that the run be taken down, maybe make a category like the guy suggested, and the mods wake up please. Sorry to be rude, but this is utterly ridiculous.
I would like to do a run of portal, but on the orange box for xbox 360. Is it possible to at the very least make 360 an available console to choose, and at most, make console any% a separate category, seeing as pc is able to do many things that console is unable to do.
I'd like to peedrun this game, but in a potential no lap glitch category. could that be a thing?
Due to Pac-Man World 1 GBA being vastly different than the PS1 version, it has been moved to its own page here - speedrun.com/pmwgba
If you had an IL time before on this page, it was automatically removed and put back up on the new page
Any GBA IL times submitted here will be rejected.
If there are any questions, post to this forum
For the all 6 boards (battle royale/tag battle), the rules do not specify if you need to win each board. Also, why is all 6 boards (duel battle) a category? Thats what star battle arena is, minus a few cutscenes and the final minigame. It makes no sense to exist.
If anyone is interested in speedrunning a Ty game, you can join this discord to connect with more runners of the series -
So, i want to speedrun this game, but can't do most, if any of the glitches. Could an entirely glitchless category be made, where no glitches at all are used?
Hello, this post is for two things
-
Can a new category be made for all levels? i just did my first run of it, getting a little above forty minutes, and I would like to add it to speedrun.com
-
Do you need to successfully do No More Cookies, Touchdown Tommy, and Gold Rush? All three "levels" can only be done after doing a few missions, and unlike mirrorland, can't be accessed again from the house. I did them in my run, but could save a minute easily if its ruled not to do them.
In order to get the somewhat small Ty speedrunning community more united, I think we should all get into a skype group. It allows people to communicate easily, set up races, share strategies, and generally help each other out. Im in a skype group for the Pac-Man series and it helps out a lot. If anyone agrees, say so, and we can try to work something out.
So me and MLSTRM already talked about this, and I wanted to know what others felt. Out of all the collectibles in the game (Kromium Orbs, Cogs, Bilbies, Photos, Races, Missions, Steve's, Boomerangs), what should be required in a 100% run? Personally, I believe all should be required except all boomerangs, as that requires about half an hour of grinding opals, which is no fun, however, I feel other runners should get a say in this.
