EPTApparently speedrunners know this trick quite well, how comes they implemented the ESC skip in the original, but not in the broodwar?
Or the Remastered for that matter?
First terran mission in broodwar being quite infamous i would guess for this ...

You are correct that this is essential for speedrunning since the community measures in real time. There's three different ways to skip dialogue in BW - the method depends on what kind of cutscene you're skipping: 1. Dialogue where the screen centers before freezing your game - The trick you showed in the video (save and reload before your screen is centered and the audio starts playing, then save and reload for each subsequent line of dialogue) 2. Dialogue where the game freezes without centering your screen (destroying the Command Center in BWT1 for example) - Simply click and hold the Menu button with your mouse until the audio starts playing, then save and reload for each line of dialgoue 3. Dialogue that does not freeze the game (bringing Duran to the beacon in BWT3 for example) - Simply save and reload | ||

Pressing Esc or F10 or Alt+L or Alt+S or trying to use the mouse don't do anything for me (the dialogue just keeps playing). Do I need to downgrade to a previous version of Remastered? FTR, I am using version 1.23.10.13515 | enUS | 64-bit on Linux via Steam. You might be better off joining the SC:BW speedrunning Discord to learn these things; I'm sure one exists and it will probably be linked on speedrun.com or similar. | ||

I can't think of anything that ruins the fun of speedrunning more than this, short of my PC exploding in my face. "Thadortin: For skipping pure dialogue we hold the 'alt' key then : s, s, o, l, l (shortcuts working for english) skipping pauses is a bit different save & load when the camera is moving on its own, press F10 when the game loading, save again (no need to load)" | ||
