ToME Speedrunning

BTW can you minimise the game saving time by toggling the menu option, or does that come out about the same?

One option makes it so you have to wait for the saves, which is slower. The other one I'm not sure about

The save optiona when done wrong used to cause issues few versions back. Don't know if it still does.

I tried out all the options, nothing caused any troubles really. Tne biggest problem was always the "generating level" stuff

Speaking of realtime, the engine already has a built-in realtime mode. It probably wouldn't be too difficult to make a mod/difficulty/something that swaps it in. That'd make for an interesting speedrun, eh?

You could just look at the character dump after you won the game/sacrificed yourself. Thing is, the timer shown there doesn't show seconds, which is obviously very inaccurate for speedrunning :/ If you could mod the game to also show seconds, then that'd be great though^^

Would depend enormously on computer. I used to use it on my old one, and while there was less time loading into a new area, it lagged my movement and commands. A really good pc on the other hand, would be done in seconds anyway, and you likely wouldn't see enough change to make a difference. And fps in tome would be wildly varied, a stable speedrunning environment would probably at some point want an addon that could cap fps so higher-end computers wouldn't automatically get better times, because they could autoexplore faster.

Opps, I was wrong, actually. The timer you can see on the character dump is accurate and shows seconds so I guess that's the best way to do things
