Hey. i want to TAS with TAStudio but as soon as I want to open any .tasproj files or save them, TAStudio crash. I have BizHawk 2.3. The error is in french and I will try to translate it. An exeption happened in a composant of your application. If you click on "Continue', your application will ignore this error and try to continue. '-10' is not a valid number for 'LargeChange'. 'Large Change' needs to be superior or *this stop here* And after this there is a huge text which I can translate if you want. Help me please, I want to tas again but everytime I try, nothing works x)
The current unassisted word record for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time any% category is 17m 07s, made on the Wii VC version of the game. There's an unofficial TAS of the same category that's 15m 43s. This TAS wouldn't be accepted at tasvideos because it's done on a N64 emulator and uses a glitch (the so-called GIM glitch) that cannot be used in an actual N64 console without the game crashing (and the sole reason why it does not crash with the emulator is because of faulty emulation due to a faulty graphics plugin). This TAS, using the current any% route (ie. the same one used in that unofficial TAS), could be done on the Wii VC version of the game using the Dolphin emulator and, as I understand, this would be accepted at tasvideos. My question is: What if I were to create a TAS on the Wii VC version of the game that's faster than the unassisted WR, but slower than that unofficial TAS? Let's say, for example, that the TAS would be 17 minutes flat. Would it be accepted? It would break all existing official records (both unassisted and tool-assisted), but it would have known inefficiencies. What are the rules regarding this?
I wonder that if I made a TAS of the Wii VC version of the game that's not optimal but still beats the real-time record, if it would be accepted. After all, one of the requirements for publication is that it must break all existing records (it would, since no better run has been officially published here or in the real-time community), but it's highly unclear to me that if there are known improvements whether that would constitute grounds for rejection. Assuming nobody else would be willing to make an any% TAS of the Wii VC version (which at this point appears to be the case), we would be in a strange situation where the fastest completion time that anybody has made would be rejected, but nobody would be willing to make a better one.
In rare cases, there will be a sloppier movie that is faster than a more optimized movie due to the use of a major skip discovery. In this case, the faster of the two movies is preferred.
I am going to set this as Decision Cancelled, as I have a better one ready to upload.
Is there a good video tutorial of how to upscale a video? I do everything like CustomEncoding says, but the video becomes even worse then just rendering in Vegas Pro.
Any plans on updating the N64 core to the latest?
A movie which doesn't have any actual in-game game-play improvements over its published predecessor will not be accepted. If time is gained from using a more accurate emulator, but game-play hasn't been improved, such a movie will be rejected. However, if improved emulation introduces more lag, extends the cut-scenes, or slows down game-play in some way, yet the actual game-play has improved, such a movie will be considered a valid improvement.
