Да я ваще без понятия. Забыл, что его не восстанавливают.
maTO had a complete TAS of this game on his page, but it is no longer available. His run might have given some insight into route planning.
Такие дела.
Ren - medium strength/medium agility; Tula - low strength/high agility; Ioz - high strength/low agility;
Tula is quickest character so obviously she will be my Alice in most of levels.
Ioz is slowest character, however he able execute one crazy useful glitch, so Ioz (=Mad Hatter) will have cameo appearance in run too.
Captain Ren (=Dormouse) is neither fish, nor flesh, nor good ed herring so he will not be used at all.
I spent last few weeks for preparatory works, like route planning, testing various tricks and glitches and finally started slowly recording actual run.
If you drink much from a bottle marked 'poison' it is almost certain to disagree with you, sooner or later.
I honestly don't see any reason to NOT obsolete Kriole's old run, other then nostalgia. This run is faster. This is TASvideos, not 'let's make a branch because I don't want to obsolete a run I really like" videos.
I'd prefer having a separate thread for Moons/Vault decisions
This is the same goal choice and difficulty setting as [1759] GBA Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow "all souls, inbounds" by Kriole in 24:56.10, and as much as I love 1759, this clearly obsoletes it. Heavy glitch abuse is already a tag, we should use it as a tag and not as a separate category or branch.
After all, we are doing this for the benefit of the audience, so we should give them what they want.
Frankly though, I don't care as much as long as new guidelines are sensible and consistent, whatever they end up like.
I would think that an improvement that does that still has to fulfill some other two criteria to be valid for the flag, same as any other improvement.
For playaround TASes, I think the notable improvement tag is valid. ... Ultimately, if a playaround is much more impressive/technical (uses a lot of new techniques/stylistic choices the former TAS didn't use) it should get the tag.
4. Improvement uses more characters controlled at once (i.e. 2P where the previous run was only 1P, 3P/4P instead of 2P, or and so on)
Why? This isn't a competition. We do this purely for the enjoyment of the public. Thus we should take into account what the public is most interested in.
Some games, and TAS improvements to them, garner more interest from the wider community than others.
and the the first criterion is pretty arbitrary (why 10%?)
6. Improvement uses drastically different stylistic choices or speed/entertainment trade-offs. This is mainly intended for playarounds or other entertainment-oriented runs that provide ample freedom of expression.
1. Improvement uses new generic glitches or techniques that are clear and obvious (i.e. can be spotted in realtime without requiring indepth knowledge of where to look).
Notable improvement tag. It not used properly.
Sometimes improvements are not so notable, nothing outstanding, just better general optimisation, but movies can have this tag.
[2095] DS Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin by mtbRc in 04:18.65
[2853] SNES Demon's Crest "100%" by The Brookman in 35:04.68
[1958] GBA Sonic Advance 2 by Mukki in 18:01.78
[2414] NES Ufouria: The Saga by Aglar in 23:52.60
Another story is absurdly heavy mis-used of tag at this movie:
[1715] NES Super Mario Bros. "warps" by HappyLee in 04:57.31
No matter that this game is infinitely popular and deeply optimised - one single frame is still one single frame, such improvement can not be called "notable".
Sometimes improvements are notable, but tag is not used:
[2973] Genesis Phantasy Star II "warp glitch" by Jiseed in 07:39.46
[2934] NES Super Aladdin by arandomgameTASer in 05:23.37
[2936] NES Super Turrican by Alyosha in 08:36.39
[2786] NES Kid Icarus by Randil, Alyosha in 21:05.75
...
and ect.
There are dozens of other examples.
Such unorganized and chaotic using or not using this tag make it nearly meaningless.
Take attantion that for old improvements before 2011 year situaltion is even more desolate, for old movies this tag almost was not retrospectively applied at all. Why not? I think tag should cover all movies on site, not only recently published.
For example history of publications for Comix Zone (in case if tag correctly cover all movies) should look like approximately like this:
[954] Genesis Comix Zone by xoinx & XYZ in 09:34.88
[846] Genesis Comix Zone by xoinx in 10:19.30
[747] Genesis Comix Zone by xoinx in 10:39.62
[214] Genesis Comix Zone by Zer0 in 14:12.80
а чо всё позачёркивал? я просто думал, как-нибудь на досуге поковыряю :D

3) Стены, пол, потолок, лестницы, двери.
4) Камхак, такой же как feos для гаргулий сделал, не знаю может возможно его скопипастить как-то...
“Пираты тёмной воды” - cеговская игра, вышла в 1994 году от компании Iguana Games. {ROM filename: Pirates of Dark Water, The (Jan 1994) (U) [!]}
Игра интерестная, следовательно и тас по ней должен получится весьма и весьма хороший.
Однако, как и все действительно интересные игры - она ядрено-сложная для оптимизации.
И браться за такой здоровенный кусище тасятины голыми руками немного боязно...
Поэтому хотел узнать, могу ли рассчитывать на поддержку говорящих на языке машин скриптостроителей feos и/или r57shell?
Уж если идешь на медведя то надо брать с собой ружье {скрипт}, да побольше, а я пока только рогатку писать научился...
I rather the easy method, the Wayback method.
Click the mirror links mate, remove the wayback part of it and boom, working microstorage links.
А можно поинтересоваться, на сколько сильный импрув этот flamethrower?
=> Long and boring period of waiting of main elevator is left in past :)
2)Two huge shortcuts with deaths after liberation of Bond's girls.
3)In the game there is no hand to hand combat, however James is well known master contactless battles, and even without using hands he can help guards take a hot bath in boiling lava [for entertainment].
I guess already on next week this short project will be completed.
Good luck!
