!!!!!!!!!! Below is only my personal view/opinion on what have happened. Those words never represents devs opinion. if you have other opinions on Any% Speed run. I suggest you to post them on speedrun_DOT_com (speedrun.com). This add-on is currently controversial on whether it can be accepted by Any% category. Community moderators on speedrun_DOT_com (speedrun.com) have not left a clear "yes or no" answer yet.

These messages are not comes from Dev Team. I write them to explain what have happened:

As game fixing bugs/glitches, some of them are forbidden in normal settings. SOME PLAYERS abused some bugs / glitches to farm scores in ranked servers. However, speed run community treat these LONG-EXISTING bugs / glitches as game features and they are useful in speed running. Moreover, it would be more creative and interesting to utilize them in SPEED RUNNING. Thus, the dev team took the concept of "technically not cheating" in Half-Life (devs deny that they think this is "technically not cheating", which means, they insist that they only refer to the concept While they are still using valve's definition on cheating), and added some cvars (for speed running purposes). The cvars are marked as cheat for normal games. But the glitches can be re-enabled using challenge. This challenge will (hopefully) go into speed run category in game leaderboard in the future.

Since Mithrand said that "I prefer that someone from the speedrun community uploads and maintains this addon, so they can adjust it to their needs when needed" in a github issue, I choose to upload this challenge.

There are several threads discussing this topic on both github and game forum. Here is one example, you can find other threads by searching:
https://github.com/ReactiveDrop/reactivedrop_public_src/issues/477

The exact definition of cheating by valve (see Mithrand's comment bellow) is not an practical one IMO, at least for asrd. For example, Single Player ASBI gives one some advantages compared to vanilla asbi players. But no one thinks it is a cheat. Thus, The valve's definition on cheating is actually intended for those games don't support add-ons or vanilla mode. For speedrun with add-ons, i think two players/teams scores are comparable as long as they are using the same set of add-ons. The real problem on this add-on is, technically it should be put into a new category. However, Considering old game version has the glitches, it could be accepted as an community patch that ensures some historical records are breakable in the future.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!以下内容仅代表个人观点，是个人对整个事情的看法或理解，绝不代表开发组的观点。你也可以有自己的观点。如果你对能否在any%速通中使用此mod有思考，请到speedrun_DOT_com (speedrun.com)发帖。目前这个是需要进一步讨论的。社区的管理员目前没有明确的同意或拒绝的回复。

以下内容并非来自开发组，我写的，仅用来解释前因后果：

前段时间有部分玩家利用一些游戏bug在赛季服上刷分作弊，因此开发组修复了bug。HoIAF 是比拼战斗技能的地方，因此利用bug刷分被视为作弊。但是在速通领域，这些长期存在的bug被视为游戏特性并加以利用。利用这些bug，速通社区能够有创造性的完成任务，做出一些脱离地图边界的行为，打出有趣的成绩或记录。因此，制作组参考了半条命中“技术上不是作弊”的概念(制作组明确否认他们认为这是"技术上不是作弊"，也就是制作组只是参考这概念，他们根据valve官方定义来判定是否属于作弊)，添加了几个控制台指令（以便在速通时加以利用）并标记这些指令为作弊。然后通过挑战的形式可以启用这些被修复的bug。这个挑战将来（有望）加入游戏排行榜的速通挑战分类.

鉴于Mithrand在一个github issue中提到“我倾向于速通社区玩家的人来上传并维护（这个挑战），以便将来能根据他们的需要进行调整”，因此我选择上传这个挑战。

Github和游戏论坛上有不少关于这方面的讨论。这是其中之一，其他的感兴趣的可以自己搜索阅读：
https://github.com/ReactiveDrop/reactivedrop_public_src/issues/477

valve对于作弊的定义(参考下面mithrand的回复)在我看来并不具有太大的可操作性，至少对asrd是这样的。例如 Single Player ASBI 玩家相比于原版asbi玩家就有解锁优势。按照valve的定义，这属于作弊。但我想没人觉得它是作弊。valve的定义实际上针对的是不支持mod的游戏或者原版模式玩家。对于速通和模组的关系，我认为只要两个队伍使用的是相同的模组，他们之间的成绩就可以比较。真正的问题在于，这个模组理应被划分到新的速通小类里，然而考虑到它的功能只是重新启用了旧版本的几个bug，它也可以被认为是社区为了保持新老版本的一致性，为了让部分利用bug达成的记录在将来能够以同样的方式被打破而推出的社区补丁。
