i think i need a soft like youi have for speed run to compare times. i need the 5 basket. for the first one i have 'land' and i loost time. for the 3 others ine the burn forest i'll loose time. i'm calculating that but i think that quite the same. diamons st6 951 / st9 3451 / st12 3980 ( + around 100 for st8 i think ) bones st6 1097 / st9 around 4700 / st12 around 3180 i haven't tas them proprely but it was to have an idea.. i save about 800 i loose about 150+100+1300 ( ok let say this one is not good ) to be at 800 it's like 550 and i'm prety shure i can't clim + fall down from the tree + clim pick up the two other + go back in 550 frames. ok i just made simple not obtimised test but even if i save 1000 frames it let me like 750 in stage9 and it's still not possible i think ( about 12,5 sec ) what do you think?

it's getting faster than i thougth. i've finish stage 6 with the new weapon. i save like 3000 frames by skipping the level. i tought about the next skip, i think i'll loost more time to collect the 5 basket of bones than the time needed to finish the level normally, but i'll i need 100 bones for stage 15 of course.. i'll try to reach the 2nd boss toomorrow

yeah that's true. a good thing for me is that i know the 'main' way to run 14 stage for now. i check my videos and i realize that i'm not happy with it.. i have some bad souvenirs ( stage 3, 4, boss desync ) but restarting is the best option i think. i'll watch your speedrun( may help me ) and i think restarting is the best option. maybe the idea tu cut-paste stage will work ( in case i already have 100 bones before stages i've done ) [edit] ok bones packs will make the job correctly. i definitively have to restart..

i've think about that, but to collect 100 bones i have to kill like 100 mobs, i dont know if its better from stage 1 to stage 4. it's a good idea for the rest. the main problem is that i'm now at stage 15, without 100 bones and skipping stage will desync me i have to check that too. im quite lazy to restart from the begening and the desync boss bug don't help me. maybe i can 'cut-paste' stages already done to save time.. i stop this job beacause i've tralled around australia for 6 months so i forget many of the things i learned about tas, i'm alone on my project and i'm pretty shure that i already made mistakes since now.. :( in an other hand i would be proud to finish it for some reason - never tased before - quite hard game if played normally - beeing posted on 88mph ( a french blog speaking about tas ^^ ) to resume i don't know what to do now

hi every one. i'm tasing prehistorik man in france but im in ausralia and i think about tasing a game here without sync probs ( i have them with p man ) here. i dont have to much time for tasing something complicate but i was wonderig about diablo on psx. the point are : -do you think it's a 'tasable' game cause of damage take/roads/items needed/leveling.. -is there known bugs on this game? -is it allowed to use codes ( like beeing level max with heavy stuff.. ) if they exists?

some news 2.0. i will have a descent laptop soon ( normally ) and some free time... maybe i ll continue the tas. but im afraid that filesrv/megaupload n co are down now :( so i dont know if i could find my savesstates/wip for p-man. ( they are on my pc in france.. ) at least if a can't finish it now i'll finish it back in france. in this case i think i'll try to tas an other game in oz.. maby less dificult and without sync prob known.. i just need a game never tas on snes FTW !!!! or sms/gba something old.. even if im still a newbie i think i have train myslef enought to try new challanges, maybe a funny or bug exploit game.. what do you think about that?

hi ! i bring some news, i m acctially in australia, travelling around and i don t have the time to finish my tas for now. maybe when i come back , i dont know when but between july and november, something like that. for the tas in genral i was on the next levels, seeing if i have to loose hearts, lives.. the main problem is stills the bosses who always make desync when i play it back. i have to manipulate a bit the boss without loosing to much time and to be shure its not desync.. i'm ok if someone want to continue my job, i think there is all you need here. i just want to be on the final videos for my newbie contibuion/experience if yo succed in finishing it. i already know that it could be better ( maby 200 frames ) cause of thoses motherf***** bosses :( cheers

the sync sound prob is from youtube, my video don't make this pb :s if i remember it mp4 for the sound h264 for the movie. for the boss sync wtf pb you can see at 5.40 i'm on his 'nose' and the boss move a little bit, but i'm my recording frame by frame the boss dont move O_o i have obtimised taking damage on the turtle, winning like 200 frames. taking damage on bear, i haven't think about. it's really interesting with 2 or 3 damage to obtimise the invincibility time. in that case i'm not sure. i 'll calculate how many frames i loose taking damage on the way and compare it with the time needed to jump+die ( dieing on the room will make a death animation more longer than dieing on the bottom of the map too ) for multiples jumps i have noticed that when you jump ther is 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 frames jumps and i can rejump directly if i press b before touching the floor. exemple i'm running, press 8 for 7 frames 15 frame later pressing b until i jump tha will make me jump as soon as possible. i have test pressing forward+bottom and it's the same ps what do you think about the run in general? is it boring, fun, intresting? should i continue or have to kill me beacause it's crap? >< ps2 : is it possible to remake the stage 4 without loosing stage 5 6 7 ? i've heard that a linear record so i have to remade all of them from stage 4, and i reaaly dont want to re kill this awfull boss -_-

update ! i have completed 6 stages and i'm in front of the first boss ( stage 7 ). it's about 5 min of play. my friend told me something level 4, when i die on the turtle. explanation : ' you could loose 2 heart during the way, to save frames from ' invincibility frames ' on turtle. i have made some test death by turtle : invincibility time 97 frames 97 x 4 = 388 2 heart losing + 2 heart turtle ( 2x97 ) death : 'from kb to max speed ' frames lose : 28 frames from kb to max speed ( frames saves at max speed in death by turtle ) frames lose: 31 frames from kb to max speed ( frames saves from 0 to max speed ( 4 ) in death by turtle ) frames lose: 15 frames (2x28)+(2x31)+(2x15)+(2x97) 56+62+30+194 342 frames so: 388-342= 46 frames 46/60 = 0.76666666... sec do you think that's right? question from a newbie : how to display the number of re-record. question 2 from a newbie : how to compress the avi recording to have a good quality and not 4go for 5 min? ( windows moovie maker? but i have a bad quality ) question 3 from a newbie : do you want the .smv or a vidéo in the wip tread of thoses 7 stage ( boss not down, about 5 min ) ?
