I missed the part where I needed to launch bootstrap.swf, not the main game file. The text works correctly that way.

Looking at the site map, Wiki: AdvancedLuckManipulation could be a subpage of Wiki: TASingGuide (where AdvancedTools already is). Maybe TASingGuide could become an actual online course combining many stray pages, organized from beginner to expert skill level, and adding additional text (and a "Hello World" TAS?) to tie it all together.
Sounds good!

I will say that the author and judge both made a mistake on the previous submission, and unpublishing can rectify that. It's probably equivalent to a 100% run not actually getting 100% (and that being known at the time, rather than a new discovery towards 100% later on).
The analogy with "full completion" is incorrect, because there's no clear pre-defined known in-game limit we're aiming for. A more correct analogy is "maximum score" where there's no known limit and we're just trying to maximize it by applying due diligence. If someone finds a way to get more score, that's a clear improvement. An imperfect movie is not anyone's mistake. On the contrary, only aiming to publish unimprovable movies would be a mistake.
There's an argument that the published run didn't achieve its own goal. Indeed if its goal was, say, collecting all items, and it missed some, it would have been a mistake. But we don't consider the "pacifist" label a mistake for movies that have to kill enemies nobody knows how to not kill. We have to kill them, and if somebody manages to avoid that, a new run obsoletes the old one.
Since there's fundamentally potential for missing more spots to properly color, I don't think we're only allowed to have one definitive version of this goal published, replacing the movie every time an improvement is found. Just like with all other human-invented goals in Alternative, initial enthusiasm is enough to publish the category itself, and then new iterations don't even have to be entertaining anymore, because we already know there's demand, and people interested in both watching and making it.
Another argument was that if we don't unpublish/update the existing publication, the burden of making a new submission would be on the same author, which would not be a good idea. And I don't see why the original author is the only one allowed to participate in that movie, and nobody can simply go and submit an improvement like Randomno did.

The "Name" field in the Game Version should be "File name". When cataloging I've been doing the bare minimum necessary to add the system (copying the game name and leaving the region as U, unless I know it was only released in a certain region).
Please send us a pull request.
Not sure about the rest tho.

The JJ fight and the final fight (including picking the sample) are quite a bit slower in this run than in the video linked above, as well as in both GameCube humanrecords. psxVEVO, did you use any existing record as a reference when making the run?

I'm getting broken text no matter what I try. Can someone else try this?

I feel splitting them by "level" has value, because it allows to watch them individually based on what you're looking for (if there's ever been anything to look for). Unless there's literally no change other than the counter.

My point is we'll need to add the playlist link right to the publication text, because otherwise the link won't persist in the video description, and we can't add playlists to publications on the new site (and I don't know if we want to).

Only including the first 6 hours and the last 6 hours in an interesting idea for youtube. At least for a regular embed. Then there could be a playlist with unlisted videos of the whole thing, and we'd link to it in the description. Or we could upload the first 12 hours, and still make a playlist of unlisted encodes of the whole thing and link to that playlist, and the first 12-hour encode would be the one embedded in the publication.
As for the SD encode, there's also a question of who would ever consider downloading it, and its only purpose would be an archive record that "yeah this is real" that may never be actually useful. Though I don't particularly mind having them split and only embedding the first one in the publication, and linking the whole item in the description. Making a singular SD encode feels questionable.

You can step on the plants right after they start hiding.
You can manipulate your horizontal position more precisely by holding L+R than by letting go of R, this is useful when you need to jump from the very end of a platform.
While the plants are on some kind of a timer, it's not a global one, and the last plant starts hiding 10 frames earlier in my movie.
Getting around platforms with one jump is faster than having to jump on them several times.

We agree on the support but somebody needs to add it to the site.

A TAS probably won't give enough time for the auto-skip to kick in but still better to wait for a bug free build.
I'd need more info on this. One of the problematic levels is not beatable even in a TAS?

Ah, it synced after I changed it to 24 in the movie (just opened it with 7zip and saved the edits).

I can't get this to sync on the only version of the game I could find:

The very first jump fails to make it to the pipe.
libTAS and ruffle are the right versions.

This submission seems to aim for the same thing as #7570: Randomno & TheAmazingYucemu's Flash Astro Barrier in 00:21.21 but does so properly because it doesn't skip initial levels which is notallowed. 7570S was sent to Playground with a clause that it would be obsoleted by the full game run, but on PG we don't obsolete, we just reject if the same goal is achieved properly by an acceptable movie.
I also wonder if there's a way to run this on an unmodified game (like is it possible with some tweaks, or not at all)?

I'm requesting acceptance of this fork of Ruffle which fixes Astro Barrier. The pull request that implemented the fix is now over 2 years old; it was not merged due to potential side effects. Last month I asked the Ruffle developers if there was any possibility of some sort of official fork or development build, and they said they couldn't help. This unofficial fork is hosted by TASVideos and easily available.
Works for me. Tho I don't think we need to change anything, might just mention it on the ruffle page.

TOSEC only knows about cracked versions, I guess it's good enough here.
