      @taylankammer 3 роки тому +28

      @@harleck9119 As far as I understand, demo files *only* contain input, which the game then replays. This means it should actually be fairly easy to create fake perfect replays for someone who's familiar with the file format and with editing binary files.
      Also, I think Karl is just meme'ing when he says it's secret and "censors" the message explaining it. It's still obvious from the un-censored part of the message that the issue is some sort of signature placed into the demo files when you create them with a certain piece of TAS software. You can download the demo files and open them in Notepad and see said signature right there.
      I haven't even played any Doom game once in my entire life but as a programmer I think I could create a world record demo after a few days of fiddling LOL.
      Makes sense that they require you to stream even your failed attempts.

    • @harleck9119
      @harleck9119 3 роки тому +13

      ​@@taylankammer I have understood (from other Karl's videos) that moderators, and usually people that know deeply about DOOM, can see which inputs were pressed every frame of the run, so using a TAS would expose certain behaviours that are virtually impossible for a human to permorm in a real time run.
      I'm not a programmer so I don't want to "invalidate" your words lol but since you haven't played DOOM at all, you won't be able to recreate a realistic run that could pass as a real WR (nevertheless probably you could fabricate a crazy run tho)
      Karl said in that same video that when you get to know what inputs are realistic to permorm in order to try to cheat a run, you could just try to get the time you want to fake because it would be easier lmao.
      That's what I can recall from a Karl´s video that exposes DOOM cheaters, I strongly suggest it, very good content ;)

      @Predated2 4 роки тому +5

      The only difference I think I saw was that the start of the first clip had significantly less momentum at the start than the second clip while both having equal times. So either the first one was the fake one, removing some frames here and there along the way, or the second one was faked, removing some frames early on.

      Well, if you think about, that's kind of it.
      In Super Mario Brothers, both RTA and TSA runners use tricky inputs to accelerate to full speed faster.
      In Goldeneye, there's an exploit that involves holding the stick forward on the second controller to accelerate faster.
      And I'm pretty sure there's some comparable technique that allows you to accelerate faster in Doom.
      Hell, even the Mario Kart games have mechanics to start the race in full speed, and it's actually an intended mechanic. It's called the "Rocket Start".

      Experts are wrong sometimes, a lot of times actually, they shouldn't be allowed to respond to criticism by telling people that they are idiots and they should shut up.

    • @Sixthhokage95
      @Sixthhokage95 4 роки тому +10

      There was nothing arrogant there, the piranha plants are an oft-cited piece of "evidence" of cheating by people who don't know how wonky the hitboxes are (and SMB1 WRs are probably the speedruns that have the most mainstream appeal so there's a lot of people watching who wouldn't know that). In Kosmic's Any% WR vids he puts an FAQ in the description and it's the first entry there. And in a video about spotting fake speedruns, it's very relevant.

    • @Predated2
      @Predated2 4 роки тому

      Especially that even with a lot of modern games, models often still tend to overlap to a point where most games just use the good old pill shaped hitbox for players, even if the model is slightly too large for that hitbox. Shooters being pretty much the only outlier there since they need to account on what does and doesnt count as a hit, and hitting the air between someones legs being a killing blow would raise a lot of eyebrows.
      So essentially, it is ignorance. People who claim that have either only played shooters, or they simply havent played games enough to encounter something like that.
      Arrogance is more like the dunning-kruger effect, where the more ignorant you are, the more arrogant you tend to be on a subject, untill you have studied the subject enough to know all the variables and only then will arrogance show up again, but educated arrogance, in this case, would be the mods.

    This video demonstrates perfectly why the methods of adjudication used by organizations like Twin Galaxies have bred so many high profile examples of cheating. Having a team of referees or moderators that oversee any and all games just doesn't work. You need an intimate knowledge of the games mechanics and speed tech to accurately detect fake runs and I'm glad that the speedrunning community has almost entirely moved towards having experienced and knowledgable members of their game's community be the ones verifying runs.
