TAS Competition

Eumeus14 and I wanted to see if anyone would be interested in a TAS competition since MTA hasn't continued his in so long. Here's the challenge we came up with. Let us know if you would like to join. I'll put more information about deadlines and stuff if enough people want to join.  :)

Bizhawk savestate: https://www.mediafire.com/?r9da7259mpx2qei (only works for version 1.8.1, sorry)
Mupen savestate: http://www.mediafire.com/download/ejxwq5vypik05ra/Task_1.st

Try to have it done by May 27, 2015

If the due date isn't too short i will probably join this TAS Competition. To be honest i really like the idea of giving a Zelda TAS Competition another try.

Okay. I'll probably set the date to the end of the month. Is May 26-27 good? I'll be out of town on the 28th

me and moronicTAS would love to join but we cant open the download file.
could you reupload it in a rar or zip archive ? we dont know how to extract or open it.

im not sure how to make it a zip file. are you guys using bizhawk or mupen? why won't the file open for you?

here does this work? https://www.mediafire.com/?r9da7259mpx2qei

we are both using mupen im sry for wasting your time
could you upload the mupen savestate instead ?

oh okay sorry. https://www.mediafire.com/?xofzltj6qrrztni here

darb....are we really that dumb xD ? what kinda file is this "task" file...
we cant open it with mupen o.0
how are we supposed to open it xD

You said you wanted a zip file, so i put the state file in a zip file. ._. i'm kinda confused. Why didn't the original state file load for you?

the file you uploaded is not a savefile .... a normal savefile would be .st or st1 and so on :)
we really want to do this tas but we cant open the file
if we select run in mupen and then load as we cant open it it doesnt even show up so my guess is it has to be some other file

Okay. I'm really sorry. I had to have my friend make the mupen save state for me because I use bizhawk, but i'll try to get a working mupen state for you. I've never done a TAS competition before so I'm not familiar with doing this kind of stuff :O

http://www.mediafire.com/download/ejxwq5vypik05ra/Task_1.st here you go! hope this works  ;) ;)

its totaly okay dont worry :)!

my apologies for the faulty mupen state, hopefully it will work now

thx for reuploading im gonna check it out later :)

ok let me know if it doesn't work for some reason

Yes that's enough time for me to participate the competition, i wish you guys good luck and fun, may the best win. :)

:) glad you can join. let me know if one of the savestates doesn't work. We were having trouble earlier

Don't worry everything worked perfectly first try for me, no issues with the .st file for mupen.

I do not know a lot about it yet, but I would love to do this.

I'd love for you to! Don't worry about experience. It would be impressive to me if you just finished this. There's another entrant who doesn't have any TASing experience either so you are up against some fair game.

Is it allowed to change the Item on the B-Button?

as long as it isnt one of the banned items. It can't be any projectile, so no elemental arrows on B

Hey dennis were you planning on BAing boomerang?

I think I'll try to join it :)

Is it a problem if I use Bizhawk 1.9.x ?

I might give it a try if I can get the time. Good thing I know just about nothing about TASing this game Lol.

Cool challenge tho. I look forward to seeing what everyone does.

Amateseru: You can use 1.9.x, but you'll have to get your own save state. If you decide to do that, just make sure that the pillar blocking the loading zone to Death Mountain Crater is pulled out. But for future tasks, I'll provide a savestate from 1.9.x so everyone can use it. I'm sorry for the inconvenience of this task.

Keymakr: That'd be awesome if you could join. So far we have close to 10 entrants/people interested which is beyond my expectations. The more the better. Also, don't worry about inexperience. There are a couple others who are interested who have never TASed either. Also for your first TAS, it's an accomplishment simply to finish a TAS regardless of how unoptimized it is.

No problem for the savestate, I know I just have some trouble with 1.8.1 on my computer, not sure why... But I don't see what block you're talking about ?

you know the block in darunia's room that you have to pull? to open the path to death mountain crater? that one
