Since I reassigned read-write hotkey to Shift+Q, I have no problems with it. Also, if your first fm2 file has no author comments, tasedit doesn't touch it. You probably shall just wait more time to open another project. If it's the version of the same TAS, you'll have some frames already greenzoned. Tips. To load your memory off save project each time you get to some successfull point. Otherwise all the session would be kept in your RAM. You may fastforward the fm2 to some part, then engage tasedit & resume playing the movie back, loading only next data to tasedit. This allows it to save projects faster. You even can load a movie starting from savestate & engage tasedit then to work with this movie. As for tutorial... Link to video And yeah, tasvideos already have published a movie done completely in tasedit. See my profile for it.

The second variant freezes milliseconds. Yes, i need milliseconds, not frames after "." and to have them always as 2 digits, either ".00" or, say, ".70". EDIT:

Language: lua
while true do
   secs = math.floor(movie.framecount()/60) 
   millisecs = math.floor((movie.framecount()-secs*60)*100/60)
   gui.text(1,160,string.format("%s.%02d",os.date("!%H:%M:%S",secs),millisecs)) 
   FCEU.frameadvance()
end

Is this fair? I don't remember if I shall round the third millisec digit up or not round at all (how does the site count that?).

Yeah, I know about RSS, but it seeds too much enrties and suggests me to monitor WANTED pages changes by myself anyway.

How to convert framecount to common time display format for lua script - hours:minutes:seconds:miliseconds? Just like the frames option does: 1:09:03.47

How about a wiki changes watchlist with e-mail notifications? I'd like to be hip to some pages' changes. Like, subscribe on changes function.

I am the author of Russian page about TAS in Wikipedia. There's a phrase that TASVideos is the largest internet-comunity dedicated to TAS, that was fixed to just large, because there are no sources about other ones. Can you write here other sites about TASing (all over the world)? I recall only SpeedRuns.net by webnations. But I know that there's one in China, though don't remember the address.

Evem if i get out of bounds (L+R, both players) at the pre-last propellers (after the last gear) and fall down between 2 areas to make the 1st duck appear, then go right & swim normally, so that the last duck appears too, the touched END checkpoint isn't activated. Will experiment with this one tomorrow more. EDIT: The only way to activate the END is to keep one toad's Z unshifted. But this shortcut hardly saves time as it takes much time also. Some day I'll compare both optimized this path and normal path of this place. Link to video

woabclf Here are VISUAL checkpoints (4 white spots). http://i1139.photobucket.com/albums/n547/feos-theos/Battletoads-Level09-TerraTubes-CHECKPOINTS.png But the game detects the way you go, so for example I can't pass some places successfully as well as technically. Now trying the last way I have in mind. EDIT: Shit! Everything fails!!! The damned level needs the exact passing as it looks, all other ways fail to spawn checkpoints & enemies!

Checked one more way to get out of bounds. Press left+right until the floor gets loaded off the memory (common trick of this engine). Here, allows to jump over the vertical tube edge. After landing you have Z value a bit lower than normal & see the sprite lower than the level layout. Worked perfectly, but proved we have to activate ALL checkpoints to finish the level. Link to video EDIT: Will find a better place to use this trick.

Just watch it. Link to video You can throw the opponent out whenever you're close enough to the upper border of the pipe. But now we need a script that shows where in this outside area is water, & where's air. Because I keep dropping out of water & fall back into the pipe.

This out-of-bounds trick also failed.

The toad drops back into the tube in this place, dies from spikes in others. If he doesn't drop back, he could swim inside the background till the END checkpoint.

Damn it was cool! After I learned to finish the 9 Level without losing a life, I decided to spend it on this:

But now only if I do a Lvl 3 glitch with one more life left I can do this thing. Thanks for idea! EDIT: Going at the top of the level doesn't activate some chackpoint, so only this laggy route below the tube is possible.

Feos, are you plan to improve 2P, warpless version?

The 1P isn't done yet, and you are asking about that? No, I don't plan to improve it as it shall simply include the same stuff as 1P in some levels, but the rest levels are too much autoscrolling, which I don't feel like redoing after FODA.

You see what's happening, right? Even pressing left can't prevent me from going forward. This obviously was tested by Phil. His 1P runs look very close to absolute frame perfection.

Guys, look at that lag. The objects of robots don't disappear as there is a check, if you reach the wheel the right (relatively) way. But surely some testing must be done. Though, the simple jump to the propeller from the right border of the tube doesn't help. I mean, we need to activate not only checkoints for the wheels & finish, but to get rid of enemies & lag. This is the case of the stick glitch, it doesn't destroy enemies & brings such a lag that the graphics glitch. PS: nice idea, Sonikku.

I scroll the screen after the 4th wheel with one toad, while the another activates the checkpoint. Also, I hit the toad to reach the end checkpoint faster & without losing a life. But yeah, the first part of level 9 lags hard. Most of other levels are much faster than with 1P.
