What is the Roft Glitch ? You should promote characters when the weapon you can equip can compensate the levels you can make. By the way, the longer you wait until promotion, the faster the characters will level after that. In Shining Force Central, there's a lot of information about this.

Getting Mitril 3 might be faster than getting some other mitril http://www.students.tut.fi/~tuomin30/sforce2/mithril.html (Shining Force Central is down at the moment) And maybe mitril 13 EDIT : Near frame 381000 you seems to wait a couple of frame before moving Peter, is there a reason for that ?

Oh I though you gave Bowie the power ring, because you seems to give something to Bowie, I don't know because the cursor move a little bit too fast :P EDIT : Does it take more time to drop an item than to sell it ? EDIT2 : Near frame 274000 you attack the Death Monk twice instead of give a double hit with Chester. EDIT3 : Near frame 296000 you wait a long time for Gerhalt to give a single hit, is there any other manipulation that you do in this ? Because a double hit might have been faster. EDIT4 : Is it faster to cast blaze 1 or 2, or it takes the same times ? Because at 298000 you use blaze 2 when 1 would have been enought.

For the last point, Maybe it's because of the proximity. Seems like the cursor move faster than the game can handle the data, and wait a few frames before having all data to move the ennemy. Pretty much like if it was calculating what the enemy would do next. At Frame 227853, is there a reason why you didn't manipulate Peter to do a double hit ? EDIT : I don't know but in the same battle, is there a reason why you don't move bowie until the end of the battle, I don't know if it would have been faster to move him near the rest of the enemy, it would maybe generate less cursor movement (it might not save time) but you have to move him anyway in that direction, I don't know. EDIT 2 : Is there a reason why you didn't equipped the power ring to bowie near frame 242000 ? If you ever equipped him the power ring (I don't know yet, I'm on the first view of the video,

Any reason why near frame 165900 you move Kazin with this pattern right right right down left right movementtrick ? There seems to be some step that shouldn't be taken. Maybe with Down, right right right ritgh movementtrick it would be better. EDIT : Unless you need to go right left right to perform the trick ? EDIT2 : Do you know what causes the lag sometime when the enemies are selecting themselves ? It might be possible to manipulate to save some frames. EDIT3 : Do you know if the Cheerful Bread would be useful, It can give 4 more HP. EDIT4 : At frame 210300, is there a reason why you didn't double hit the witch with bowie ? It would have been faster.

Weird, I never had to type chmod once and I'm using it on my Laptop for the last 6 month. In fact, I rarely if ever use the command line. I think it depends on the use you do with it. I mostly use pidgin and firefox, nothing much more than that. Else I use my Windows box.

I must say that I had a WTF at the Kraken battle, I didn't know you could Desoul a boss :P Else the video lags a lot on my computer. Tomorow, I'll be looking at the full run for sure, it's very entertaining.

The time of the gamecube should be set in the movie file. That way it could be use to manipulate some data.

Yeah you should really do a TAS out of this, it's really nice to watch. I don't speak much, but I'm following this run :)

Having a smaller force should be better, you don't have to attack more than a couple of ennemy each turns, and you don't have to move 6-7 other useless characters. I known that Luke was a pretty useless character, even with the power ring, he sucks :P There's still skreech that can fly, you should get him near when you get Taya, but you have to do something special after you see Volcanon. The glitch of Lemon only happen with Gens, but not with Kega. Hey it's not the Atlas Axe that have MOV+1 it's the Ground Axe Atlas Axe GLDT BRN RDBN +35 9600G Mithril Weapon Blaze 3 Repair Cost: 2400 Ground Axe GLDT BRN RDBN +39 MOV +1 10000G Mithril Weapon

Hum do you plan on having Slade on your team ? If so, you might want to be create his sword with instead death chance. It might be faster in the later battle if you can kill the enemies in one hit. You could keep the DarkSword for Lemon no ? Even if it's cursed, it might be usefull. You may want to take a look at the cursed weapon, if you can manipulate the fact that you will attack and not being stunt, if might be useful. I'm pretty sure you will keep Luke, even if he sucks hard, you need all the flying characters you can to go faster.

Hum I hardly notice the FAQ page, as most people don't. Maybe the FAQ link could be Sticky on the General Board or something ? When I visit a forum, I tend to look at the post, not at some option that I don't really need exept login. I think it would have much more visibility with a Sticky,

Is it just me, or you are deforming the Monty Hall problems ? The host will always remove a goat. Else the statistics isn't the same. From wikipedia : The game show host, Monty Hall, who knows what is behind the doors, now has to open one of the two remaining doors, and the door he opens must have a goat behind it.

Do you know who you will get at Creed's house ? And I don't know if it's useful, but you can give a centaur a special item to promote them to flying character, maybe it could speed up the game. But the item is pretty far in the game. After Creed, when you blow up the path to the cave in the mountain near New Granseal. Two castler later. It might be late in the game thought. Are you planning on getting the Rumming Pimento item ? Description : Use: Permanent MOV Increase of 2 Use on: Anyone in the Force who has been promoted already Find it in: Barrel in a pub at Hassan, Underground in Moun You would be able to give peter an extreme distance of flight. Which could save a lot of time. Peter + Power Ring + 9 move = Killing Machine.

Isn't there some cheats in Street Fighter to boost the speed to a maximum level ? I know it's a slippery slope, that's why most of the cheat we use must be discuss before using them. But it might be able to shave a couple of minutes on a more than 2-3 hours run. I don't know how much, but it sure would speed it up for the entire lenght of the run. The characters moves faster (doesn't matter the game is base on turn by turn play) The cursor move faster (doesn't matter for the same reason) The dialog goes faster (less talking). I doubt that there's anything that can be call an advantage over a normal play. It would just reduce the lenght of the movie.

I was wondering, In Shining Force 2, you can use a cheat to speed up dialog, cursor movement, and things like that. I think it's the only effet that it does. Can this be used while making a TAS ?

SQL Error : 1205 Lock wait timeout exceeded; try restarting transaction Don't know if this could help.
The error means what it says. Are any other transactions accessing that table at the same time you are inserting rows? What is your TransactionDeadlockDetectionTimeout? The default of 1200ms is very short. Are you using 5.0 or 5.1? On 5.1 you can try to increase it... we use 10000 (10 seconds) on our production systems.
And maybe see if there are any select that could be performed with the expression WITH NO LOCK (don't know if it exist in mysql)

It's not too bad, but I'd like to see this perform when you have to go up some platform, or something other than going only to the left.
