Not to denigrate the hard working people making the encodes, but perhaps it would be better to post the videos in the thread before publication so that others get a chance to review them.
Is the movie length reported wrongly? In the encode, it looks like there's gameplay until about 15:30, but the movie is being shown as having a length of about 14:06. If 14:06 is the in-game time, we don't usually put in-game time as the main one displayed.
Wait, why did you use Doom 2 music? It's possible to get the correct tracks from Doom and Doom 2 packs and put them in the right order. For example: MAP01 = D_E1M2 from Doom 1 MAP02 = D_E1M3 from Doom 1 MAP03 = D_E1M6 from Doom 1 MAP04 = D_E1M4 from Doom 1 MAP05 = D_E1M9 from Doom 1 MAP06 = D_E1M8 from Doom 1 MAP07 = D_E2M1 from Doom 1 etc. I can make the whole music pack myself if you give me Doom 1 and Doom 2 SC-55 music packs. That won't take long.
AFAIK, there is no Lua binding in BizHawk to communicate with the outer world. So, it is impossible to write to files or to sockets.
I didn't go into this concept thinking that anything would change with the existing Moons and Stars thread rules, but I actually kind of like the idea of making all three existing tiers (Stars, Moons, and Vault) have a requirement that the run completes the game and set aside whatever this new tier is to handle runs that *don't* complete the game.
It must beat the game (1-level movies are rejected).
Tried test uploads? What fps do you capture at? I had desync problems with HD upload of the other Doom, seemed to be fixed by using exactly 35 fps in kkapture and uncapping the framerate in the game IIRC.
You didn't reply to the question if you've run into trouble or not... but it sounds like you haven't? Is it a busy schedule which keeps this from being published? Since it's taken a month, perhaps it is better to hand it over to someone else if this is the case.
As for how I figured it out, I have an emulator with data breakpoints, but it hasn't been released to the public yet...
Doom could be running at 35 FPS but actually updates the screen at a lower rate. Are you sure it isn't just all dedup to have a framerate that low? Example: Mupen capture at 120 FPS, but the download files end up to be 20 or 30 FPS.
Hi Anty-Lemon. This has been claimed for three weeks now. Have you run into trouble? If you need help editing the movie file to include the ending, feel free to ask me, and if there are other problems with capturing/encoding, you can probably ask feos who did the other Doom submission.
Glitch stuff
^ There's a function called mainmemory.getname(), which tells you which type of memory you're using, but there's no set function (or at least is not documented).
That's the first I've heard of it. If a new system was worked out and the admins are in favor, why hasn't it been mentioned on the forums until now? Do I need to join the IRC channel to join in on discussions like that?
Anty-Lemon, do you want to publish this one? I was going to, but now I'm looking at handling Over the Hedge (also hires), and if you wish (or someone else), I can pass it.
Had I been aware that this was. . . .possible, certainly. "Note: If you have improved upon a previous submission, remember to cancel your old submission to make life easier for the judges. " Seeing this at the bottom of the submission page, and a lack of forum to change the uploaded file led me to believe otherwise and thus. . . . we are here.
If you later notice that your movie needs some minor changes, such as 10 frames of more input to reach the actual ending, you can request the submission file to be updated without having to cancel and submit a new movie. Such requests are made personally to a judge. This chance is only possible if the movie has not been judged or published yet. Send the admin of your choice the following information:The new movie file (pack it into a ZIP file, then send either an URL or the file) Which submission is in question (the URL (address) of the submission or its ID number; not its name or address of discussion) Why the request should be granted (how the movie changed from the submitted one)
Do not omit any of the information. Because this operation requires a staff member to personally update your submission, it is greatly recommended that you ensure that your submission is perfectly right before submitting it in the first place.
