Yeah that should definitely be faster, probably about 60-90 frames. I'll try to tend to that in the future and get the submission updated. It should be manageable to hex as long as I can get the same drops from the pirates.
Hoandjzj is TASing 100%. Iirc there was left 30 itens for him to finish the run, but it seems he got stuck in a door he was expecting to be blue, but for some reason he didn't find yet, it is grey.
Opening that room in smile, and right-clicking on the gray door on the left side, the value of the door is 0Ch, which according to the accompanying text, requires "enemies dead matches enemies needed". Have you tried killing all the enemies in this room? Each of the enemies has a flag that says "Enemies to clear room" is 0Dh, and there are 13 enemies in this room, so it seems to fit.
Which room do you mean? Could you post a screenshot or give the room ID in SMILE? Also, I figured out how to access the inaccessible rooms (though it will take some time to find all the correct addresses and add them). Post at m2k2 I plan to add all the rooms as time allows; I can post the new mdb.txt file once I'm finished for others to use.
Hoandjzj, I also did notice the ones in Draygon's room. I think they also have item pointer of 80h. Did you say you can get into the morph ball room? Because I couldn't via door entering or map edit entering. Door entering gave me the invalid room ID error, and the map said notion was found for that map square. For the Tourian missile you're about to get, is there any other way to get across that one part besides horizontal bomb jumping?
Hoandjzj, hows the 100% coming along?
Looking into many of the rooms of this game in SMILE, I noticed a room which has a lot of missile items in it that seem to be used as reappearing shooting blocks where you already got the missile before. This room. The purple blocks with an X on them are all missiles. But, clearly, they don't become missiles when you shoot them while playing through. This is because they all have the same item pointer (80h) and so when you get one, they all disappear. But not any show up, so I'm guessing another item that you must get also has this item "ID" or whatever. I tried a few missiles that seemed essential but none matched. I tried the morph ball, but I can't get into the room in SMILE. All the doorways say "invalid room ID" because the room ID with the morph ball is less than 79000h. SO, anyway, here is why I posted: 1) Depending on where these missiles are linked, if you can skip the item they're linked to, then you could get three missiles here (all in one vertical row at the same time before they all disappeared, which I tested) and skip a couple of the other more troublesome missiles and still register 100%, though it's clearly different than actually going and getting all the intended items. 2) Does anyone know a place I could ask questions about SMILE like "why aren't these rooms accessible", etc.? I feel like I'm borderline spamming here. I'm attempting to map out this game and while SMILE has been a useful tool, it's got some large shortcomings that are frustrating and make me wish it was open source.
Hoandjzj: No, I'm not going to be TASing this game :P
Wow, okay so due to some very odd glitch, it seems you can't shinespark after getting out of that morphball tunnel with the lasers, if you do so you immediately get the crash animation, even though you didn't hit anything. It does look like it might have been faster to do it the old way anyway though.
Edit: After the Second wall, can you use the morphball trick to keep the echoes and jump higher enogh to hit the third wall? So you wouldn't have to go down to charge the shinespark only for that wall.
Can you boostball in the red pirate right before Hoandjzj morph Samus to go through a small passage in a way that it makes Samus fly higher enough to break the next two walls? If she only breakes the first wall, you could use the morphball trick to keep the echoes, so you jump and break the other wall?[/img]
It doesn't look like it's possible to get through that morphball passage with all the lasers in just 3 hits. At least I can't seem to find a way.
Oh, OK! That's just some crazy glitchy stuff then. I know in the real game if you exit fast enough before the music ends in Botwoon's Lair and go back in the room he will still be in the room. I guess glitchy shit just seems to happen with Botwoon.
Also I saw your Botwoon kill and escape. Holy shit that's glitchy. What the hell did you do exactly? Was it because of the Power Bomb you laid after?
Is there still a need for the Power Bombs in that area with the X-Ray Scope or is that area skipped entirely? Also is there even a need for Power Bombs in the run now?
When i was watching the nicovideo any% run, iirc, i saw the same trick without using X-ray, so i thought why you picked it up in your run... i thought it could be due to differences of the hack, as if it was updated and you couldn't use the same trick.
Sorry I'm not familiar with v17 so I can't make a good video, just take some screenshots!
But again, this hasn't tested out yet, I'm counting on your talent, Cpadolf :3Oh shit! Sorry, Hoandjzj, forgot to say that i use Snes9x 1.43 v17. If you want to give it a shot, here is the link to get the emulator. The savestate will work fine if you use this version.
Ok, so despite this, it still shouldn't be possible to skip speedbooster, right?
I've noticed another difference between the first movie kriole posted and the other two: the first movie was made in Snes9x 1.43 v15 (or an older version), the same emulator Cpadolf and Hoandjzj are using to TAS (or an older version), and the last two were made in Snes9x 1.43 v17, so you can't play them using the same emulator you're using to TAS. Isn't that the problem?
Speaking of real time. I'll probably be streaming some practice sessions for my next Segment of the real game this Saturday coming up. If you guys are interested I'll post the link to my channel on that day!!! Might even make some real time attempts depending on how I'm feeling with the 2nd Segment!!! :D
