Ouch, I have the US rom, so I will be likely downloading another rom...
oh well.

Wait... What? Where did you see that we have to use a rom that isn't US?

you can use any version but i used the PAL version so f you want to u can use USA version
oh and im not entering. i suck at dampy grave race so good luck guys!

Aww... :( I think you should enter, I don't think anyone that is entering this is actually good at doing TAS's (please correct me if i am wrong) and It would be cool to compare your usage of explosives to other peoples (That is the only thing I can see being different in this task to be honest)

As far as I know, you're correct Warburner. I've never TASed OOT before, so I guess I'll just try my best? lol (Ive still yet to start this...)

tylerartrip is joining :):):):):):):)

oh and ok i will join ;)

Not sure if I'll join this task or not, though I got a few of my own, and Grunz is hardly ever on to make any, or reply to messages I send him, lmao. So complete Dampe Race as a child? I think I'll pass on this one(working on some challenges for OoT and a route for another tas). Also, might be easier to make it simpler to read for others. Kinda like this(used your challenge as an example):

Challenge: Complete Dampe race as a child

Start/Finish: The frame you arrive in the grave to speak to Dampe to the first frame you begin to talk with Dampe after the race is over

Special Rules: No Nayru's Love/Hookshot. Max of 3 explosives to use.

Due date: April 9th

Snapshot: *insert a snapshot here if needed*

Savestate: *insert savestate link here*

Not trying to be mean or anything. Just decided to look through this topic, and just happened to see a bit of confusion in the beginning replies and thought I'd make a quick post. The Dampe race looks like it'd be interesting to watch some newcomers in tasing. Hope this can all turn out well for recording!

The save state is adult, you have to glitch inside to access dampe's grave as a child!

The save state provided is for PAL roms, and the US rom is NTSC. (The file said it was made on the European anyways)
I also checked in mupen, and it gave the error 'Savestate Wrong Region'. Even if you were to use the state on the US rom (you can in PJ64 from what i've seen), the result would be the emulator equivalent of CC.

You can use the US rom, but if you want to use the provided save state, you will need to use a European rom.

Wait...so......what? The challenge is to do the race as a child, but the savestate is for adult? Seriously, poptart, you should think these sort of things more thoroughly before posting. Im not trying to mean, but it confuses the hell out of everyone. Just sayin'

noooooooooo.
race is adult or child!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OOhhhh. Ok. That makes things a bit easier. Just to clarify:

No Nayru's Love, No Hook/Longshot, 3 explosives only. Time starts the frame Dampe speaks at the start, and ends the frame he speaks at the end?

yes ;)

so since timing doesnt start til dampe speaks first, does that mean we can use a bomb before then and it won't count towards our 3 explosive limit?

i guess so..........

Haven't any of you seen Swordless' TAS? ... You shouldn't be using any explosives during the dampe race.

Why not? What is wrong with using explosives?

DUFI: Don't even bother. There is a reason that everyone who has been here for over a month or two has completely ignored this topic. Okay I lied, I count at least 4 reasons.

I think I can see why you say that explosives are unnecessary after the race starts: the time taken from using the bomb is greater than the benefit.  Doing so restricts movement (no sidehops/rolling) and time to grab/roll/whatever else you need for the glitch. Ground jump needs you to roll, grab, and block damage (not good), mega flip requires a roll, ISG is completely useless here (also requires a stop stab & grab) and things like superslide, ess, z-slide and a-slide do not make the race faster OR if you do get ahead, dampe will become really slow, and you will lose more time than you gain.

Also, I joined in December, but I had been looking at the site before then, so I've known about this site for at a minimum of 4 months. The reason I joined is because I wanted to participate in a competition. Well, I didn't get to do so, and it looks like I still won't get to, considering how things are now.

I think the problem with using explosives is you'll be too far ahead of Dampe and have to wait longer for him to open the doors. This happened to me once when I did a ground jump to get ahead, and I eventually had to wait a while for him to catch up.

So nobody entered this task  >:(.  any good ideas for the next task?

what about getting the kokiri sword? timeing starts from control and end the first frame you open the box. you would not need a save state sence itoms are banned. let me know if it is dumb or cool  ;)

For a beginner TAS it sounds pretty good. I think it'd help with improving their general movement.

Ok than getting the kokiri sword it is. Itoms are banned. Due date is may 5th. Upload it to media fire or dehacked. Then message me on zsr the link. No need for a save state. Time starts from control to first frame opening the box

ok so nobody wanted to join so lets try agian.
same task, same rules.
