This time there are more than one people working on the TAS of this game! SimonN has contacted me and Covert Madness[/url] to discuss about RTA and TAS for this game. After that we have tried some new things in the maps and found the old routing and tricks on many maps pretty obsolete. Most of the planning, routing and discussion has been done in a Discord group. But anyway, levels 1 and 2 contain a lot more damage boosting than before. Covert has also found awesome use of tricks in level 3 and level 14, that have never been done before. Also, in the start of level 11, I found out you can stack crates on the lamp at the start of the level, and use this shortcut much faster. Actually SimonN's RTA route uses it nowadays, with combined ideas of pretty much everyone in the group to make it safer better for RTA.

Never have seen this game before. Anyway, it looks pretty crazy and fun. Waiting forward for more if you'd continue. Anyway, is there a way to kill enemies? Just thinking about the hit you got near the end.

Random tidbit about this game: it used to be called Les Aventures de Moktar starring a bum named, well, Moktar (this explains why most of the enemies are also bums, and most of the items are random junk). Titus replaced his sprite by their eponymous fox to increase market appeal; this basically makes it the PC equivalent of Super Mario Bros 2. You can see this as you boot up the game, it first displays a message like "Wow, you're still playing Moktar in 2015!" Most levels are slightly different, and one level was replaced entirely between Moktar and Titus. In more random trivia, this game basically runs on the same engine as The Blues Brothers and Prehistorik. Anyway, nice run and keep it up!!
I guess the first version Lagaf: Les Aventures de Moktar was starring this guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54YE868-LLw Anyway, that post cleared a lot. Junk, bums and run-down town aren't usual environment for a platformer where the main character is an animal. (Never thought about that before your post). =D

I restarted the whole project because I noticed how damn many mistakes I had done when I had advanced to level 11 last week. (have tactics for everything up to level 10 but not on any video) Here's the first 7 levels I've completed on the new speedrun. Also wanted to explain some tricks I used on the speedrun. The tricks and little route changes save almost 8 seconds from the previous run during the 7 levels and even more from the extra bonus counted between the levels. The biggest new trick is probably avoiding extra bonus and taking hit for extra speed or making the bonus smaller. Also, some manipulation saves arouns a second from the previous attempt. Link to video EDIT: And if you think this needs improvement, I'm thankful to hear any suggestions. =D

Looking fun. It's also funny (in my opinion) to see how bugged the ice floes are in the second stage even if it looks like it's so simple game. =D

Did you get audio.wav or an error message? Btw. x264 builds are here, SourceForge is evil. https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/37h8ad/sourceforge_took_control_of_the_gimp_account_and/ https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/37lrk4/sourceforge_claiming_gimpwin_was_abandoned/ https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/386c75/sourceforge_locked_in_projects_of_fleeing_users/
I got audio.wav. I downloaded some builds you show me to my JPC folder but the same goes on. Also tried the newest versions with name x264.exe. When I do the script with cmd, it still just shows a new window for half a second and gives 44 bytes big audio.wav.

You need to open the command-line interface (e.g. cmd.exe if you're on Windows), navigate to the emulator's directory and enter (copy & paste) that line.
Thanks for help! Now I'm having another problem though. All output I got is a corrup audiofile. Sorry if I seem stupid because this hasn't seem to be a big problem for others... I've tried to dump into .jmd, .jrsr, .img and just a file without .anything. I have JPC-RR r11.7 I also downloaded x264 from SourceForge

I was looking for a tutorial how to dump a video with JPC-RR emulator. I'm not completely sure if I got the article MovieDumpingR11 right. The problem is that I don't know where to write dumpconvert --video-width=640 --video-height=400 --video-framerate=60 --audio-delay=1.895 --output-wav=audio.wav --output-x264=raw.avi,crf=0,fullrange=on dump.jmd or anything like that. When I open dumpconvert nothing happens and I can't see any kind of popping up windows.

Are that kind of 'starts of glitching' usually random finds when messing around or intentional things that are planned for hours?

Hi! I'm new here. This topic is four years old already but I'd like to know if someone has started making a TAS in this game. If someone already has, idk if it's right to steal this game from his/her project list. I've started by running the best I can in first four levels and have new ideas for speedrunnig this game. If someone's interested, here is my progress on levels 1-4: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCl_W0XAjqyBp4KivOaWSe4Q
