Ocarina of Time TAS Competition V3

TASK 6:

Enter Gerudo's Fortress as child coming from Gerudo Valley and obtain the 37th Heart Piece.

Timing starts at the frame you get control over link and ends when Link picks up the Heart Piece. Hovering is banned, ISG is allowed, though! You are allowed to use any items apart from Nayru's Love and Boomerang. There's no limit of Bombchus and Bombs.

Here's a Save State, so preparing for the task gets easier for you:

In order to submit, just sent Nahoc10 a message containing a download link of the m64 + Save Stat on youtube or send him an e-mail to the following address: coh_101@hotmail.com


Due Date: 26th February 2012
(If you need 1-2 more days of time, just tell me)

I'll try to do this :)

would be awesome. the more people join, the better. swordless link promised to join, sam, tylerartrip and soap will take part as well. maybe we can manage to get quite a lot submissions this time :)

I think i will give this a shot, might be a good starting point for me to TAS this game

I'll go ahead and enter this one as well (TAS'ing OoT is a bit more fun then MM anyway)

And I'll make sure I don't forget about A-slides this time around. >.<

Grunz you still need to show yours and mine from the previous task :(

also this sounds fun, time to learn to analog slide! :)

I have a quick question about this. The savestate you posted does not have the slingshot on it. So is the slingshot allowed to be used? or does it have it be exactly like your savestate? If i am allowed to get the slingshot to help me do the task, would i have to count the time it takes me to get to the slingshot as part of the task, or could i get it before i start counting time and just start from where you have the savestate?

The savestate is just to help you are allowed to get slingshot

Pokey needs to tell us how to do this trick

I could make a beast TAS with it :)

Alright, I've entered with my first OoT TAS ever. I was not familiar with the bomb physics so I got a crappy time.
Good luck everyone! ^-^

Another question. What savestate am i supposed to send with the movie? The first savestate for the run or the final or both?

When you record an .m64, it also creates and .st file with the same name as the m64. Send that one with it.

Alright, thank you :)

I just submitted my run to Nahoc, i hope it isn't too late. I accidentally sent it to MrGrunz cause I didnt read all of the first post. BTW, what is going on with this so far? Have there been enough submissions?

Yea there have been submissions by Grunz, RG, Pokey and Tyler, all of which have been timed, and I think a compilation video is in the works.

TASK 2:
Enter Zora's River from the Zora's Domain entrance and collect both Heart Pieces

Timing starts at the frame you get control over link and ends when the text of the last Heart Piece appears. You are allowed to use any items apart from Nayru's Love and boomerang. There's no limit of Bombchus and Bombs.

darn, i got last place :/
but you know what? it was fun and i would gladly do it again ^_^

yeah, you did very nice for a beginner, much better than I when I started. would be cool to see you entering the next task as well  ;)

@kosmicd12
you forgot to use B to press the heart piece text away quickly  ;D
you probably could have gotten 5th place, if you did this right.

a few minutes after closing the task, nahoc told me, that bloob submitted a TAS as well. Turns out we have to change the ranking quite a bit. In fact, everybody gets pushed back for one place.

Compilation going to come soon.

I am so stupied I wasted 5 seconds on that hp :(

Is the Compilation video going to have all the runs in it? or just the top 4-5? Just want to know before i upload a video of me doing this task, no real point if it will be in the compilation video
Heh, thanks for the compliment Grunz, I play the game in real time, so i have some experience with some glitches. I was going to try to do some analog slides and z-slides, but i couldnt figure out how to do them effectively, i only had a couple of Bloobieblahs videos to go by. I will gladly do more TAS tasks, its pretty fun. After i get enough experience i am planning on trying a 100% TAS of OoT.

The compilation video contains the top 6.

Dang, I wish I could download a TAS software. =/

But this was awesome!

Amazing job everyone! I love these things!
So much that I want to take part in these too, only I don't have any knowledge as to how to do the glitches... Is there a good resource I could use to teach me how?

Thanks,
~Hornlitz

Also one more thing:
I just attempted making a quick TAS with Mupen64 of the start of Ocarina of Time, from when I got control to when I got the Kokiri Sword, but for some reason it didn't remove the recording when I went back on the savestates, and now Link just does some random moves in his house. How do I fix this, or am I missing some setting?

Thanks again

EDIT: I tried re-recording it about 4 more times, and every time something went wrong, where something I had inputted didn't stay in the finished product.

Just saw the compilation video, those were some sick times.

It seems that your TAS has de-synced and you will have to do it again :(.

My guess is that when you went back in to edit it you weren't actually recording. To edit a video you've already made, make sure when you are about to start the playback and have selected the video that the box near the top that says "open read-only" is unchecked. Once you've done this, start your recording. make a savestate during it and load that savestate to start recording. it's weird ik...

I never actually went back and tried to re-record. I did all of my mini-TASes all at once, and none of them seemed to work...
But you just answered another question I had, so thanks :)

Sounds like a desynch. Those are for all intents and purposes random occurances that screw up a TAS. Read http://tasvideos.org/DesyncHelpTAS.html for more information.
