Abahbob actually did say there that he's coming back eventually. So that, combined with the length of his post, suggests that he will come back a lot sooner than MUGG, if MUGG ever does come back.
I can't believe we lost two great TASers because of the new site changes though.

Which site changes are you referring to?
Edit: Nevermind. Found it and read through the thread. Yikes.
Please don't leave us, Abahbob! D:
Your counterargument would be like me saying that the Earth is round and then you telling me that I need to show it's flat so I can "prove us all wrong".

How are you optimising superswim, if at all?
I'm watching the speed values, and brute forcing the frames. Its pretty crappy, so I'm most likely losing 1 or 2 frames per superswim (depending on which frame to start turning around, or which direction to start. I'm confident that starting facing the direction you want to go is fastest, but there are multiple things that go into it).
Pretty much I find the frame that I go the fastest before it starts going slower, then I see what frame I arrive on the island. I then test the next fastest frame and keep testing until I arrive there the fastest. It takes a while, but it isn't too horrible. The turning I do to get the right angle doesn't lose speed, and at the end, the island loads on the same frame no matter what, so I was just adding some random crap. I'm saving some cooler moves for later in the run.

10 years from now the TAS will wrong warp from forest of fairies to ganondorf and use the Master Rock to defeat him
Looking good, very entertaining strats

It fixes a glitch from skipping it. It lets me get the 2nd rupee bag upgrade, which saves enough time to make it worth it.

Double post for an update:
My computer has been broken for almost 2 weeks, I finally got it back today. I got a lua script to help me figure out superswims. 6166 frames of continual superswimming: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AmVhHgQ1lALLdExsMTdrTDJTUnRpZFU1ajVHVGdTMFE#gid=0
I'm going to get back to TASing tmrw, right now I have to finish up this superswim to NFI, get the bag, take damage, and finish FF1 for the next segment. My reasoning for another short segment is so the one after can actually have new material and not have everyone just skip the beginning. I'm starting driving school, so I will have significantly less time to TAS for the next few weeks. I apologize for the delays with getting this done, just please bear with me. I'm still using a pretty crappy computer for this, hopefully I can start building my new computer soon.
Also, have some crap!

I left the site back when it was "hip" or "cool" to leave the site. And I was so good what no one considered me a "great TASer". Wait, I'm still here?
Anyway, great progress with the run and all that.

Edit: I'm an idiot, I was using the wrong type of graph in excel... But there still is some slight difference.

I'm going to find out which frame of the swimming animation is the fastest. This is going to take a while.
Edit: NVM, it's not that drastic. Turns out the excel just sucks at showing graphs.

That is the velocity of 1 axis, when the other axis is in insignificant number, around 1E-6. But I've improved my lua script to automatically get the full velocity, so I don't have to worry about that. First value is the "VI Count" (It's not accurate at all), 2nd and 3rd are the velocities on X and Y axis looking from an overhead view.
al=getAddressList()
vi=addresslist_getMemoryRecord(al,0) --get the first entry in the list
mr=addresslist_getMemoryRecord(al,1) --get the second entry in the list
mr2=addresslist_getMemoryRecord(al,2) --get the third entry in the list
lastValue=memoryrecord_getValue(mr)
lastValue2=memoryrecord_getValue(mr2)
lastVI=memoryrecord_getValue(vi)
print(math.sqrt(math.pow(lastValue,2)+math.pow(lastValue2,2)))
function readValueTimer(t)
local currentValue=memoryrecord_getValue(mr)
local currentValue2=memoryrecord_getValue(mr2)
local currentVI=memoryrecord_getValue(vi)
if currentValue ~= lastValue and tonumber(currentVI) ~= nil and tonumber(currentVI) < 20000 then --value changed
print(math.sqrt(math.pow(currentValue,2)+math.pow(currentValue2,2)))
lastVI=currentVI
lastValue=currentValue
lastValue2=currentValue2
end
end
t1=createTimer(nil)
timer_setInterval(t1,50) --check every 1/200th second if the value has changed
timer_onTimer(t1,readValueTimer)
To stop it:
object_destroy(t1)

Not sure if this is very useful, but here's a Gecko code that forces broken door physics mode:
82200000 003CA410 # 003BD910 on JPN
86000000 00000494
86210000 00004004 # 00000004 for broken slopes only
That's actually really cool. It'll be useful for console testing I'm sure.

Also, there are only two functions that enable this "low-collide" mode: door open (of course) and an unknown case of "large damage". Not very promising in the barrier skip department.

How are you able to tell this? I would definitely be interested in looking into this type of thing. One thing I want to look into is superswims. The swimming pattern is starting to look like it's based off the animation, which is based off the speed. I'm thinking it's a natural function to create the flow with big and small strokes normally.

Provided you could somehow trigger this type of "large damage" arbitrarily, barrier skip would be trivial.

I'm not entirely sure how the swim movement code works. There's definitely some vaguely-sinusoidal "stroking" to the velocity though, and the period of the stroking is based on the velocity (faster is shorter).

I mean, I want to know how you can tell what they do. Like how do you check the code at all. Where is it, what program, etc.
