Changing audio without reencoding: I am not familiar with the game, I just suppose there might be a difference (even if just 1 extra cpu cycle or mario becomes wario) with a different audio.
What was the argument about?

According to your post above this... how do these are related to the PSX Monster Rancher (hope iirc) ? Any CD is just a user input,similar to audio. It's not our fault the game process some me data. Why the restrictions so hard then again? I insert the CD, no need to replicate if it would be contained in the 800 megabytes submission file.
The only problem is that the extra CD outright replaces the game image. We don't allow replacing the game image with arbitrary images. If this was done without taking out or otherwise interfering with the game CD, we wouldn't limit it the way we did.

Then you can run adobe flashplayer for linux (version 11.2.202.644 is the latest standalone 32-bit release for linux) on linux installed into PCem. Dacicus did tons of tests in that regard and proved that it works.

- (2019-04-03 17:54:19) feos: and it doesn't even need to be in the encode because the game doesn't output it <--
Just because it's not output, it still gets processed by the game.
That is, different soundfiles might have different outcomes.
Therefore it's a real factor in completing the game.
Yes, and it doesn't mean we need to mix it into encoded audio.

- If a TASer want's to complete a game, he should at least use the same process as the game wants.
Imagine completing a game released in 2010 but the audio used is from 1999.
Imagine completing a game that act differently according to volume (for example PC Tonsil Terror). If the game waits for input from a microphone, than you shouldn't allowed to make a compressored audio sitting on 999 dB, in case if it's simply impossible to do with a microphone plugged in to a PC.
Imagine a game acts differently according to various data of a sound (for example visualizers).
Mic audio is just user input, similar to analog or buttons. We don't demand that gamepad or keyboard input is generated the way the game asks, we just send whatever it can digitally process. What we want is optimality. It's not our fault if the game fails to process some kind of data that it is meant to process. We reset during saving even though the game asks not to touch the console. It's not our fault the game doesn't properly verify save data. Same with mic audio.

I meant that as the above elaborated stuffs: Using an audio that made by someone else that probably impossible to replicate at bytes level (Try replicating a Jason Richardson solo). Using an audio that made before the game release / TAS / anything that related to the game and it's console's hardware.
We record mic input into movies, you don't have to replicate anything.

I don't have any problems with discussing the hell out of this subject as long as you have questions or complaints.

Ignore gnash-sdl and libTAS and just see if that game works in regular gnash for linux.

It's a linux build of gnash, right? The windows build is terrible, the linux build works just like flashplayer 9.

There's no way to TAS a browser. You have some game that doesn't run in gnash? Or a game that doesn't exist offline?

You mean you could have had more HP that'd allow taking damage, and decided against it?

Matslo123, please post the same couple of movies as for any%: the one that ands at the final hit and the one that reaches the credits and lets them play.
Also, is having 1HP inherent to this difficulty or it was independently added as another goal?

The submitted movie has one frame of blank input in the end, I removed it here:
http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/info/54365826551849070
And this is what I think is the best solution for the encoded ending:
http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/info/54365565491120826
It lets the credits fully play and then skips the cutscene with A. Skipping the credits feels odd and we prefer to show them as a full ending. The music loop doesn't match the length of the credits though, but it has played at least once when they end, and the dialogue automatically starts, so it should be fine.

Since the publishing of the movie is fairly soon, I decided to work some more on the Atlas encode. This time with a dynamic camera that needs a bunch of fixes to make transitions not as jarring.

The work you're doing is absolutely incredible! My dream is having this kind of encode for the whole movie, available when it's published! I know it's super hard and takes lots of time, but we could also delay the publication a little bit. I just really think that such a video is the only way to fully understand and enjoy a movie like this. And if we publish as is, and add the atlas encode later, it might not help the publication rating, leading to lower rating than it deserves overall.
As a solution for off-screen chars (sorry I haven't been following the talk), maybe just make the tool write down the frames when they're off-screen, then attach the camera to Sonic for one vid, to Tails for another vid, and make a split-screen encode for those frames? Whether it's vertical or horizontal could be determined by which direction they go off-screen.

Correct, and also as this game proves, you can't always use just anything for mic audio input. This game expects the blowing sound, and it handles it specifically. It also explicitly tells you to blow into the mic, which is what this movie is doing.

Since the audio is contained in the movie, it falls under the Creative Commons requirement for all movies, so everything is implied already.

It's up to the C#-Lua implementation maintainers. And there's no of Lua 5.2 (or 5.3) in what we use.

You still missed one more Esc that triggers the final cutscene.

Wow incredible job! Didn't expect this game to surprise me (after having touched the 2p movie years ago, which led to me dropping it), and the lizard boss glitch left me shocked! I rewatched it several times and still couldn't figure out what happened!

TAStudio menu -> Config -> Set autosave interval -> Enter 0.
Otherwise, what would really help me fix this is if you record a video of how you get this crash from fresh unzip of 2.3.1 release. Maybe reducing the Capacity will help to trigger it sooner so you don't have to record too long a video.

OH MY GOD
This is the best April Fools day ever! This movie blew my mind, I've been hoping that this movie ever happens for so many years, and I even accepted the fact that it's never gonna happen, and now this thing spawns! The strats are incredible, I'm instantly considering starring this movie, and absolute Yes vote!
