Elaborate, how do you think it can be improved. I'll translate it for the Author.

This encode was done back when we haven't yet started using hardsubs, we used youtube softsubs instead.

Coul you share all RAM info you have? I'll think of ripping maps for this game (by making the character to fly all over the screen, Gargoyles style).

Well okay then. We just need to document the principle on how to keep the existing scripts, to make them easy to access for others. Let's create a Wiki page at tasvideos about that and about how to handle with SVN managers and hostings (there's no Download function for source files in google). I even think we shall make a tastools page namely, and describe the stricture of the whole project and what each tool or bunch of files is serving for. I think amaurea, FatRatKnight, Randil (if they have not yet) (and me) can be given rights to work with tastools files, and discuss the placement of the scripts here. For example, we can keep all files dedicated to a cirtain game (lua, RAM stuff) in one folder. Also, we need each script to have a description in it, of what game it is made for, how to use it and the authorship.

Zero rerecord count is very strange for SNES.

If a sprite is behind the background, just switch the BG layer off. Config - Display - Graphics: BG (uncheck).

Updating and Committing are as simple as editing your local copy of any script and choosing Commit option in SVN manager OR choosing Update option to see whether anything was edited by others.

Comment from youtube: Thanks for the explanation! For those who don't know, you can also perform this glitch with Sypha by freezing an object right in front of stairs then climbing them. It may or may not save time in level 7 on her route...would be a very minor difference either way.

I think there's no need to explain, why it's good to keep literally ALL our scripts at one place. Our scripts aren't much less important than the very TAS movies! But the main site doesn't look like a proper place for that, because I don't want to spam it with tons of new pages and because the script one posts in Wiki isn't directly downloadable and main server-independent. SVN services overcome these limitations. I don't keep a big project on SourceForge or Google, but I think that while Google is a bit more intuitive, SF is more useful overall. Voice you experienced opinions please. I don't think this project shall be merged with "tastools" one, they are different concepts. I'm going to create a progect and give main rights to our experienced lua coders as well as to skilled players that have written at least one script. Some of them are too shy to post publicly the script they find raw, but hey, it works, it serves the goal you created it for, then why don't you let anyone else to use it for the same goal? This is important also because a script contains useful RAM addresses, and we don't have a habit to share all RAM addresses we own. I see the structure like that:

               Game speciffic scripts < [platform folders] < [actual script files]
             /
Root folder |
             \
               Other scripts < [actual script files]

I think it's important the put the contributer credit into each script properly. But to prevent crediting more or less than necessary, let's just write the nicknames of all people, that directly or indirectly contributed to it - just in alphabetic order. I also see that it would be cool to be able to search a script by author name, but don't know how to implement it best. We shall create some pages on Wiki to explain the usage of the hosting site itself, and the usage of subversion utilities (let's take just TortoiseSVN). So all of us may be able to have the updated versions of all scripts, or just of the ones they need. If anyone doesn't want to register at svn hosting site (for religious reasons for example), he can post the script here or at PasteBin. But our forum is known for breaking some Lua stuff from time to time. PS: This is not a joke, I really call for everybody that has any experience with EmuLua to think this idea over and accept it. And for site Staff of cource.

No, I'd need something particularly if I knew the game and wanted to make it myself, but I don't know it. I just love the oldschool 2D GTA (I played it long ago on DOS, but had no time to finish). And being TASed it looks OSOM! And yes, I can imagine HOW much must be taken in account when making it's run. But hey, that YT speedrun looks useful.
