Hello everyone
I've been working on a glitched TAS of Tomb Raider 1, for those who don't know, "Tool Assisted" means a sequence of inputs designed by the author of the TAS (in this case, me) to complete a game as fast as possible, usually created by playing in a rerecording emulator with tools such as frame advance, slowdowns, savestates, and memory watch.
In other words, it's playing the game in a special emulator with special tools such as frame advance and savestates and watching memory values (such as speed and position etc..) to achieve perfect gameplay.
There's already
a TR1 TAS that was made by Lapogne36 and is the current publication on TASvideos, but new strats and timesavers were found since then, making it outdated.
Some technical details:
Quote:
Movement speed:
Running: 47
Standing jumps: 50
Rolling: 50 (gets gradually lower and the end of the animation untill it reaches 0 when the animation is finished)
Swimming: 50
Sliding on slopes: 50
Running jump: 75
As you can see, the running jump is by far the fastest way to move, to the point where it is often better to take a seemingly non-optimal trajectory in order to make one more jump instead of running.
