Tried to recover branch 0. It wasn't fully saved, and had some files missing. I took laglog from an irrelevant branch, so you might want to regreenzone it.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/h1c5nxqqre9i84c/GHv2-eh.tasproj?dl=0
In such cases remove the branches from the project file, and it will open. Or remove only those whose files aren't all there.

Was usedpizza's pizza input used here by any chance?

There's no question whether it is arbitrary in itself or not. The question is: Is it arbitrary enough to not publish it as yet another branch?
Yes, it is too arbitrary to be published as a separate branch. It wouldn't be so, probably, if there was only 1 published branch of SM at tasvideos. But we try to reduce the amount of branches to only have those that are meaningful to have as a TAS, which means they all represent unique features that can't be seen in other runs, and that the goals of those branches are solid enough.
So even if this was submitted before the first "all items" run, the latter would obsolete it, due to being more solid as a goal and having a lot of overlapping content.
Yes, this thread is where people can discuss the qualities of the run itself, and what they feel about it. But it won't help if it simply doesn't fit into the site by the rules we have. Everyone also liked the MM9 run which had that cheat to switch weapons. It was reasonable to some people for such a run to be made. But it didn't help, since it didn't fit into the site by the rules.
And no, the rules are not set in stone to be obeyed blindly. They simply express some basic principles we all consider the most important. Exceptions happen when the principles are challenged by some fantastic content that those rules wouldn't imagine, but they are extremely rare and obviously stand out in the first place. "GT code + arbitrary code execution" was exceptional. Right here though, it's not an exceptional case.

Yea, I think this may be a poorly implemented feature. I'm the one who started the thread you referenced, btw, and I don't want the 'bug' to stop happening, I just want to be able to control it. It is useful in some situations. Also, is there an easy repro setup for a project with lots of input already? That would be great if you knew of one.
Here's some hint as to how to control it: when you are appending the movie via drawing, the last frame's input gets stuck as autohold. Another example: https://github.com/TASVideos/BizHawk/issues/534

Finally got around to reencode the HD. Enjoy.

Agreed.

I haven't actually done any TASing in quite a long time, mostly due to time constraints, and the fact that at 30 years of age my hands and fingers can no longer sustain the abuse of hours-long TAS sessions and all the frantic keystrokes that go along with that. I estimate that well over a million individual button presses went into making my TAS, and I suppose similar estimates would hold true for many other authors as well.
Check out tastudio. You draw all the buttons with your mouse.

All in all, I wish you find interest in tasing in future. And if you do, make sure to work with partners, it helps to keep strong motivation in finding improvements and gives instant feedback about how good your latest wip was. Working alone, I fail to be so motivated in endless testing. But that might depend on the game (yes, I only truly enjoy tasing games I know since being a kid). Anyway, having a partner shows you unexpected possibilities.

Not up to me, even though I technically can. The point though is not "everyone who goes through these steps automatically gets the rank", but "you can't get it without them".

For a properly implemented hourglass resurrection, should it be possible to run flashplayer.exe? It allows to pass the game as a command line parameter and uses legit keyboard keys and mouse, so in theory it should.

Steps required: having commits in the official release <- making commits <- getting commit ability <- hanging on IRC.

Can anyone play flash games using gnash? I can only use win32 version and it doesn't play abobo well for example.

* Typing in analog inputs will conflict with hotkeys: For example, "-123" will result in lowering the speed, then selecting branches 1, 2 and 3, bringing up the "Branch X does not exist" message if those branches don't exist. Would it be possible to disable hotkeys temporarily in this case?
* Similarly, raising/lowering the value with the up/down arrow keys will scroll the piano roll alongside, making it somewhat difficult to keep track of the value while making small adjustments.

Notably well looking game, and I mean it: it has some really awesome graphics. But the gameplay is boring to me. Meh.

Hint: adding a brief tl;dr line can make more people want to read the entire post :)

Uhhhh, such a shame it doesn't work right away. That would be the final chance for this awesome game to get a reliable TAS.
The only way I could suggest is to try EVERYTHING. Every option of every plugin.

Инициатива е*** инициатора, очевидно же. Мне же надо как-то комфортно тасить дальше.

Uh, I don't even know the way to ban global hotkeys temporarily like that.
As for crash, I've never had it. Can you get it with Float from parent disabled?
Regarding Genesis, the reason is moving to elf, which saves the state of the entire core, but requires x64.

That has already been fixed on git.
Anyway, here's the build I want you all to test hard, because it has everything I wanted to fix/add for the next release. But it won't be soon, so here's the interim.
http://rghost.ru/6hTb6yBFf
If it works well, I'd consider tastudio ready for the next release.
