Features

• Speedrun mode
  • Enabling this mode will disable practice features and temporarily alter the save state so that a run will meet the leaderboard submission rules
  • There are various modes depending on what type of speedrun you are performing:
    • Normal
      • Activate with CTRL + S or by pressing A + B on both controllers
      • In this mode the save state will be reset every time you leave the main menu and start a new game
    • Newgame+
      • Activate with CTRL + N
      • In this mode the save state will be updated to have everything unlocked
    • 100%
      • Activate with CTRL + H
      • In this mode the save state will be reset only when initially enabled
      • Activating this will also reset all Steam achievements (so that the reclamation bin in Zombie Warehouse must be unlocked during the run)
  • Deactivate any mode with any of the activation hotkeys while in the main menu
  • Preferences like height and turn settings are maintained through save state resets and loads
  • Deactivate speedrun mode to restore your original save state
  • You must disable all other mods before enabling any speedrun mode
  • You can tell that a speedrun mode is enabled based on the text added to the loading screen (Steam game version only)
    • Includes mod version and approximate run time to make splicing harder (don't worry if the time does not match LiveSplit exactly)
• Make boss claw always patrol to the area near the finish in Streets
  • Boss claw cabin appears green when this feature is on, so that you're aware RNG is being manipulated
• Teleport to a chosen location to practice parts of a level again
  • Pressing B on both controllers at the same time sets the teleport point to the position you are currently standing at
  • Clicking the right controller thumbstick teleports you to the set point
  • Clicking A and B on the left controller at the same time resets the level
    • Useful for situations like in Museum when you teleport back to retry valve flying and need the valve to be back at its starting location
• Blindfold (Steam game version only)
  • For practicing and performing blindfolded runs
  • To blindfold yourself, press CTRL + B on the keyboard (game window must be focused)
    • If you do this during the main menu it will activate "blindfolded speedrun mode" where it will reset your save each time before starting a new game
  • This will make the VR headset display pitch black but the game window will still show the game (for spectating or to see where you are while practicing)
• Gripless
  • For practicing and performing gripless runs (where triggers/finger grips on controllers do nothing and you cannot pick things up)
  • To enable, press CTRL + G on the keyboard (game window must be focused)
    • If you do this during the main menu it will activate "gripless speedrun mode" where it will reset your save each time before starting a new game
  • This will make the controller trigger/finger buttons do nothing in the game so you cannot grab any objects
• One controller
  • Only one controller can be used and inputs from the other will be ignored
  • Ford's arm will also be removed
  • The menu button will still work even on the disabled controller
  • To enable, press CTRL + O on the keyboard (game window must be focused)
    • This will switch from off -> only left controller -> only right controller -> off -> ...
    • If you do this during the main menu it will activate "one-controller gripless speedrun mode" where it will reset your save each time before starting a new game
• Armless
  • Removes both of Ford's arms
  • To enable, press CTRL + A on the keyboard (game window must be focused)
    • If you do this during the main menu it will activate "armless speedrun mode" where it will reset your save each time before starting a new game

Configuration
