Good luck encoding this movie !!!
Sounds like an easy fix to implement in the Lua script. We just need to figure out a good RAM address that tells when the loading starts and ends. Anyway, I'll be busy for at least a week from now, so I can't do it myself for now.
Ice Mountain Zone Act 2:
I also ran into a different issue in Angel Island Zone Act 2 where the game crashed at this spot:
Now the way you can get around these is if you wait to load the lua script AFTER the lag frames that occur before each level transition.
For example, it should generally be loaded one frame before the blue spikey things show up on the left side of each zone splash screen:
And one final thing to note, is any time you load the lua script then disable it, the game will not run anymore unless you completely close bizhawk and start over. Rebooting the core does nothing.
Edit: ACTUALLY ONE OTHER FINAL THING, do not rely on the audio from the camhack dumps you make, especially if you used savestates at any point. mGBA seems to have audio issues whenever states are loaded for this game, which cause some audio channels to be very quiet (examples include sonic's jumping sound being super quiet). It's best to just rip the audio from the non camhack dumps to avoid this issue.
Either way I hope this will be helpful for anyone in the future.
final output:
here is the avisynth code I used to layer these:
In the future this might become obsolete once there's a way to force the sprite layer on top, but in the case where that's not possible, this should work as an alternative.Language: avisynthmain = avisource("blah camhack.avi").ConvertToRGB32 sprites = avisource("blah sprites.avi").ConvertToRGB32 maskclip = ColorKeyMask(sprites, $ff00ff, 1) final = Overlay(main, sprites, mask=maskclip.ShowAlpha, mode="blend", opacity=1)
What do you mean by BizHawk err I mean Dolphin? I can't find the err I mean version of BizHawk or Dolphin.
The speedgame however is pretty cool and definitively underrated. I've wanted to TAS this game for the longest time but was not willing to work with Dolphin's tools. However, CasualPokePlayer was able to make a fork of dolphin into Bizhawk, with the ability to work with TAStudio. I finally decided to pick this game up.
Should've saved this for April Fool's IMO...
I think someone turned off my ability to delete my own posts
EZGames69, do you know French, or was that machine-translated? It looked pretty accurate to me with my high-school French background.
I agree that the current publication is essentially an "all levels" run, but it wasn't in the branch label, and wasn't stated in the submission or publication text, so I assume it aimed for any%, but the authors and judges simply didn't know or forgot that world selection is possible.
Mostly true, but I didn't say in the submission text that my any% TAS is intended to replace any TAS. That's for judges to decide.
