Forget Melchoir on 11-0, how about spect on 11-4. Have you ever seen anybody chase a rocket that way before?

Damn yeah that's pretty sick, I bet that will never fall off the boards.

And how about that new guy showing up on the boards, think it's johnny_ something-or-other. I bet he's gonna be one of the big players here soon.

Yeah he seems too skilled, I saw him pulling a triple jump and a corner jump, in the same run! Dronie material right there. Better keep an eye on him just in case he's speedhacking or something. But I'd love to see the mighty trib4l challenged.

PS. The file has to be in your N folder.

OMG. Years and years ago I remember moving the userlevels.txt file (who knows why), and my userlevels list has been blank ever since.
Jesus. I've been in the dark so long O_O
Thanks, Eddy :P

Edit: You too, Macro. It makes sense to use the userlevels now. Thanks :)

This sounds like the perfect method but it's not working for me - I made a .txt file called userlevels.txt and put it in my nreality folder but it doesnt come up with anything in the userlevels menu. Can anybody help?

Edit: Never mind I just edited Eddy's file and that worked :/

New rule: Any more criticism of the contest will result in immediate disqualification and a one-way ticket to Guantanamo Bay.

Aren't new rules EXACTLY what we were talk-----

Dam, nvm.

Submitted a run that I am fairly happy with.

DO NOT SUBMIT YOUR RUNS ON NREALITY (even if you you use that link fiddler thing, just don't do it!) INSTEAD, PM ME YOUR DEMOS IN USERLEVELS DEMO DATA FORMAT AS INSTRUCTED BELOW



There is no limit to the amount of PMs you can send me; the more you send me, the more accurate my summary of the round will be (and the lesser chance you have of being duped out of valuable points due to a tie.

Furthermore, I am increasing the length of this round to 10 days from today.

Big countdown timer thingy for convenience.

This should allow you plenty of time to try out plenty of different ideas and really refine your route(s). (Please enter the subject of your PMs as "Round 5 SR" or "Round 5 HS" depending on which PM you are submitting. You can bundle both if you wish, but please label everything clearly so I don't have to mess around.)

And, to add a bit of spice, I am going to update all the scores once each day until the deadline; however, I will not be announcing any player names. In other words, you will know where you stand relative to the herd, but nothing more.

Good luck, folks!
Your time starts... NOW!

I have no idea how you guys are getting such good scores for the hs map... I've got like 3 or 4 different route fragments that should all work well, but no two of them go together at all. I really don't like to try and score these kinds of maps blindly, when its completely non-linear. Obviously, its the perfect kind of map for this type of contest, but its where my lack of route finding skills really come out the hardest :/ Good luck to all you guys who move through to the hs elimination rounds, I'm sure I won't be among you this time.

I think that's why I find this kind of format so fascinating; it really does put a highscorer's pathfinding abilities to the test. If it were nearly any other kind of straightforward contest, it would probably be a two-horse race between Eddy and Macro...

*As normal, in the case of a tie by round's end, the player who achieved this score first will receive more points. Since the scores were both submitted on the same day, if you submitted this score, there is no way to tell for sure if you submitted first or not. So, if this is you, you might want to consider improving your run to resolve the ambiguity.

We can all say that he meant on final ranking. Tho' I do not have any doubt that he is in top4 in this map, too. xD

Yeah but I meant he said he just submitted his runs, which means on the next update we'll know who he is :P

[golf]

I feel like I will be advancing in speedrun, but not in highscore. I consider that ironic, considering that I've spent like 95% of my career in the hs mode, as opposed to the sr mode. Obviously, time will only tell, but I feel fairly confident with my run in sr so far, but definitely not in hs. And I'm pretty much right on the bubble in both modes after 4 rounds...
