I definitely stop my fast walkthrought.
My HDD has been stolen like others things, so i stop this.
I was at Puritas in about 2h30 ( that depend where i am at Puritas, i don't know the time at the entree ).
I'm just now sure SOM TAS-No Glitch can be done under 3H.
It had 42 000 + Rerecord ( i didn't remenber for the 1h47 i posted, but it was something like 8000), level of movie became always better with the time. When i replayed the movie, it was really impressive I played at 2% for switching char ( i didn't use frame advance, it isn't even TAS ), took lots of screen of bug ( which are now losts ). SOM needs really a full run. If you're planning a room since a long time and have difficulties, just think that at the end, you're always supposed to reach the room and give in the same time it's very linear.
I had char bug, map bug, and cheating between the room is perharps possible like ALTTP, with emulator only of course. There is less teleportation than ALTTP, but i'm sure interresting thins will be found in the future.
This game will really need a ton a time, because of this famous bug of the 100% barre wich need anormally to be reloaded more than one time for to run, when you use lots of time the select button in a short time. If the way to have this can be see, perharps it can be missed.
The room before the 3* clones ( insides the moutain ) will be a true pain to TAS, i had this bug all the time !! Because you're switching the char is this very fragmented directions ( you need here 0 or 1 or 2 select ), then you always retake the char with the axe for to delete the rock : this precise and needed alternance does a ton of matter by creating the bug of 100% barre.
I'm glad there is always motivation for this game.
Gorash can you up your the full smv of your current work ?
And there is a long time ago, i posted a french site and it has been translated -) i have forgotten to say thanks.
---) Just about glitch speed run/TAS, i don't like that ( like you know ) because : you cut, you cut, and at the end after a few accepted speed run/TAS glitched, you finish the game in something like 10min...
Perharps with the end of this smv ( i will not restart with the 1h47 i posted because these first 1h47 are really crap when i see the next stuff ) it is the way to start a TAS for me, i'll see. But i'll never do that alone.
For the names of the three characters, i think the best can be finally one letter for glitched TAS, and true name for no-glitched TAS, however, to put the trues name even in a glitched is fine because the run remain nice, before it will be finished in 0h20min in a long time :(
TorZelan i have a sad english, i didn't understood what you say about my old run, there are just boring french text or you are a french which just like to understand french text in this boring run ?
No difference between JAP and US, these NTSC have the same glitchs i think, and about the quantity of the text, i think it will be diferents categories so i just recommand US version.
Arg please no hack for this game.
SOM desyncs easy, just let the misc like at the begin of the record.
I understood why sometime the vid desynchs itself, perhaps someone knows better than me, but i already had that ( and i remenber a strange case for DKC2 on this forum, but i don't remenber exactly ) :
1-Rerecord the vid TAS
2-Close the vid, with rerecord savestates at the end
3-Reload the vid in rewind mode, and try to open a rerecord savestate : it's the same vid, but emulator tells you you can't reload it ( "it doesn't exist" )
4-However, it killed this rerecord savestate, and the movie is now desynch when you replay it, and you can't even see it if you take a younger rerecord savestat -) bad surprise at the end when replaying the movie for to see your stuff.
5- Safe solution : delete all savestates and recreate them by replaying the movie in rerecord or rewind mode ( now it doesn't desynch anymore, except if you have continued the vid before to delete the saves :( ), that depends of what type of savestates do you want.
-) I did that more than one time, but now each time i forgot to uncheck rewind mode and when i see savestate doesn't exist, i close the vid, delete the saves and recreate them.
***Magical Damage
-When i was manipulating Magical Damage, well in fact the boss fights will not be to hard, you have to manipulate spell one per one, freeze, the most common, is easy, if there is a crap dammage, just wait a frame ( of the game, not of the emulator of course )
-However, there is a few hard magie like earth slide, if you don't spam perfectly this spell, the boss will not take all the dammage in the face in one time.
It is the same situation for the spells which need to be finished before the next, it's just here you can have more matters.
-There is too the matter of Undine Level 8+ against Dark Lich, with special animation which ruins the spam.
-And i think Luna/Dryad MUST be at level 4.00 for the final fight :/
If not, effect of Mana Sword+Luna combo is too short for one cycle of Demo Mana.
-There isn't critical magical damage, just good damage, normal damage, bad damage, and randomly crap damage, this %random decreases while Level of Spell increases.
TAS will be addition of good damage.
Well i learned a ton of things of this game -) TASers, i will help you when you'll be at precise point ( boss fight, training ), and about the rooms, well i can perharps say what i think even if you'll know more than me for rooms ;).
Gorash : less than 5min of fight ;). Do you restarted your movie ? The movie which reachs Spikey Tigger, what have you done then ? Up all of that please, it's always good for motivation ;).
Recca : what about you now for the smv ? ;)
Gorash, you always want to do the TAS alone ?
He or i can help you in the way to put this sword at l2+the other at l1, even if i don't like glichted run :)
For the other weapon at l1, have you an idea ( which weapon ) ?
I should test differents things with your vid.
