Timing starts at the first frame you get control over link after entering the grave and ends at the frame you open the chest. You have to use the items you have in the Save Stat I uploaded, so you MAY NOT use any items that are not in this save file:

You can use as many bombs and bombchus as you feel like.

TASK 2:

This task was cancelled due to a lot of people wanting another Majora's Mask task.

TASK 2:

Collect 8 Golden Skulltula Tokens of your choice in the Spider House of Great Bay. Bunny Hood is banned, every other item is allowed. You can start with any item on the C-buttons you want.
Timing starts when you first get control over link after entering the Spider House and ends when the text of the 8th token appears. Feel free to do some short freestyle play around after you collected the last token.

Here's the Save Stat:

Due Date: Sunday, 4th July 2010

O'boi! Another Majoras Mask Task! =D

Umm, what was it that you name your files again?

what name and what filename? Im figuring what is the best faster path to collect 8 skulltulas :P EDIT: done

Why is MrGrunz non-existant here all of a sudden?

It was : TASCompetitionTask2By<name>

i have done it 2 days ago, im waiting for him xD

I' not done, progressing slowly :)

Do what I did, send it via Youtube PM.

oh ok. I found a way to 'manipulate' the order that the 3 skulltulas fall from the lamp. But i didnt tell :P

Alright well I don't have enough time to finish my TAS today (3/06/10)
I've spent over 3k+ rerecords and 10 hours + (first Zelda TAS = a lot of hours of learning) hopefully when I finish it off tomorrow morning, before 11:30am GMT+11 and send it in, It will be allowed? <3
Getting Munted > Zelda.

Anyways... I'm gonna send it in UNFINISHED, and hopefully when I get back tomorrow, I'll finish it off, re-send it and hopefully out of the kindness of your lovely German heart, you will allow it <3

if I know, that people are still working on their TASes, I give them as much time as they need. last time pokey submitted on wednesday ;)

can be .m64 the video? or it needs to be .mp4?

how2send
Do I PM you the files or something?

Nope, simply need to read carefully

It wasn't written here. <_<

it is written in the other thread about the TAS competition

I changed it a bit:

I usually accept every late submission. and as anavrin said, just send the m64 and the .st file to me. I'll time everything then and encode it

alright sweet, you're legend allowing late runs ; )

Alright I sent mine in, But I've had a bit of trouble with my email lately, so can you confirm please? (:

I keep getting
"This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification.

Delivery to the following recipients failed.

tascompetition@web.de"

... so let me know, if it did fail : /

EDIT: I uploaded the files to Media Fire and sent you the link to your ZSR inbox.
Just in case if my email didn't work ; )

how can i get a .st file?

the .st file is in the same foulder as the .m64 file. it is named the same way as the .m64 file just with .st in the end.

please hurry and upload both files to me. upload it to mediafire or something and send it to me via youtube or something. please do it today because I want to end this task today, so I can create a compilation video  ;)

I pm'ed you the file

How about a tag race across the world for a future task? Going from point A to point B... to point C, maybe be a tourist and take a picture of Object A, B, and C xD

3 ideas for oot tases...

1) do all or part of the trading sequence for the biggorons sword

2)collect the cuccoos as a child

3) destroy all enemies in the graveyard in a savestate where you have spawned all the ghosts already (not sure but isnt there a poe that spawns for each normal grave you pull?

skipped a task this week? : (

Task Ideas:

Enter DC, Kill four Lizalfos.
Enter Spirit Temple, get chu chest.
Enter Lost Woods, as a child, enter FT.

and.. yehhhh.. I'm shit at thinking off tasks to do : <

collect 5 heart containers in the deku cycle

bluri, if you dont know/werent lurking in the irc channel yesterday, mr.grunz and some other zsr members got in a huge fight about the tas competition. so i dont know if there is another one, which really sucks cause i really wanted an oot one. but ya it was quite funny to watch actually.

=)

aww, well that sux, I was planning on beating him at task 4 or 7 :S

I have an Idea for an OoT Task:
"Enter the Grave of the Graveyard digger Boris,collect at least 21 Rupees,kill at least one Gibdo and reach as fast the goal as you can."

This would be cool,or?

I think, theTAS competition task finish, I hope some one make more

I'm going to get in on this new task.

what is the due date for task 3? i want to know how much time ihave to et this done.

tt

I'm like 200 frames away from finishing mine, so don't go posting results too soon ( ;
I'll have mine done by tonight, hopefully.

you have more than enough time believe me ;)

If I'm bored enough I might give this a shot later

Just finished my run, however I rushed during the end because I thought I wouldn't be able to have another crack at it until Monday~ : /
So when do you think this task will be due? ~
Not sure to submit my sub-optimal run or not : /

have you done yours?
or has anyone else?

If anyone has submitted yet, I'll submit. ; )

I've submitted mine, but Grunz says you have time.

alright mr.grunz, i emailed my submission to the email in the tasks thread.

thanks for hosting this! cant wait for the next one! =)

So when is due date actually?

i saw the tas compilation on youtube, but why havent you updated the thread? and also when is the next task going to start (i know i shouldnt want ANOTHER comp to participate in, what with the sm64, smw, and one i made at tasvideos.org, but i cant help it)?

thanks

I'm on holiday now for 2 weeks.

when those 2 weeks are over I will take this more serious and will post a new task every week. I have some nice ideas already ;)

Are next task gonna be posted soon? I wanna try to do something =D

oh c'mon, I'd like to join >_>
you're already back from holiday... i know it >:D

Same for me, I really feel like TASing some OoT/MM instead of SM64 atm!

same for me, sm64 is so boring to tas. it requires i ton of optimization and weird speed tricks (like the thing you do at the beginning of BOB, that makes no sense to me),where zelda is more interesting.

I was told, that I'm only hosting this competition to push my ego and to show everyone, how good I am at TASing. according to some people I'd also only choose goals, which I can't be beaten at. this really took my motivation away to go on with this thing here.

someone else is welcome to host the next goal, though, then I will at least not choose a goal I will win at any way and won't get another ego boost <_<

i have a question about the entry point. is the entry point from the entrance coming from the swamp, or the gossip entrance?

thanks

the entrance is the normal one coming from the swamp. you know the bottom one

question, can i get dq'ed by asking if/how you can do a certain glitch? (ex in a task to get from a entrance in snowhead mountain to the temple start (without lully), i ask if its possible to bomb hover from the normal entrance (where the owl is) to the temple entrace (just using it as an example))?

if you want to win, make sure you don't offer your strategy with this question

btw, bunny hood is banned as well

hey in your video deku palace awesomeness how did sideways backflip?

no chance... don't even have to try =/

I can host it, MrGrunz. I can't supply savestates ATM however ;_;

DUDE HE ALREADY HAS ONE GOING

the challenge is not to get the heart piece as fast as possible. the CHALLENGE is to grab the heart piece and THEN get to the deku kings chamber as fast as possible.

Oh well fuck it, blame my horrible lack of understanding...

Just found this task today (:
Tested some strategies, found an awesome one, then realized Goron mask was banned : <
But I believe this task has potential so out of procrastination I made this for all the confused people/newbies. (even tho I believe it was explained quite well)

Hope it helps.

Sounds like a good ideas, since my primary language isn't english, I tend to misunderstand things easily...

nobody submitted yet  :'(

it's a hard task lol : / I can only see one solid route, which I doubt will win it for me, as it's an obvious route and I'll need an awesome/unique route to beat awesome competitors : <  which I've come very close to finding (;
I just need the address value for MM speed?!

To use with MHS, and this (http://code.google.com/p/mupen64-rr/downloads/detail?name=Mupen64%20v8%20installer.zip) version of mupen, "00CEC300" type float

grunz, perhaps you should extend your due dates to 2 weeks at least.its less work for you since there are less tasks, and maybe more people would enter. i got about halfway done with my movie before the 6th so since i dont have as much time to TAS in the school year i just assumed i would not be able to finish, so i stopped. if i had known i could still submit over a week later i would have finished.

just an idea.

had a very weak start, recognizing that I'm unable to manage the start with sidehop...
Recoil flip through the guards, HESS ... no mask -> failed

have about 200 rerecodings and stopped, because it's too hard for a TAS newbie like me =(

YES! I LOVE YOU! <3 Thank You (:

Woah the due date is extended to nov 1rst?  :D the route to the piece alone is bullshit hard but ill try  ;D

This is epically long, it as been a month now since this task was released, can we just go on yet?

ya when is the next task coming?

So, I'm guessing this competition is dead...

he pulled a "thundrio" and ditched his TAS competition. probably for the same reason i did, running this thing is a TON of work.
