TAStudio is constantly updated, use latest dev build instead https://ci.appveyor.com/project/zeromus/bizhawk-udexo/build/artifacts

Gimmick and RMMI have the lowest rating on the list, so we could replace the former with Celeste and the latter with something else MM related.

I do really like PoR All Bosses but my one question is whether or not we need a DS Castlevania in Stars in addition to the ones we already have for other platforms. If you're counting classic castlevanias in addition to "Igavania's" as they're called, we currently have 4. If you're counting only Igavania's, we have 2, but that is 2 out of 3 systems they were even released for. Over representation of franchises is a potential issue with the star list and I'm not sure this pick helps with that.
Right now there are 4 starred Castlevanias: 2 old-school and 2 modern, and the latter 2 do cover "all souls" and "all bosses" categories. If the suggested run is notably different from both, it can be starred.

I'd like more discussion about both of these suggestions. Celeste is kinda asking for it, but still.

I would like to suggest another Castlevania TAS for stars: [3588] DS Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin "all bosses" by mtbRc in 24:09.89
How does it compare with [2205] DS Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow "all souls" by Kriole in 35:08.59?

Trimmed on last input before credits (-7 minutes) http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/info/60059890207877968 There are 2 screens that the submitted movie skips (cheat unlocked and save), but skipping them isn't needed in the main movie. For encoding I can use either version though.

This should be added to movie annotations then.

The movie lasts until the credits end. Does it have necessary input there, or is it blank frames?

My main question from the start was, has he sent you WIPs that were faster than yours? He just said it's clear from the video (it's not). I interpreted your previous replies as "yes he improved upon me, but then I improved upon him", now you're saying he didn't. Which part did I get wrong?

This is exactly the case here. I used his input/old TAS for reference, but none of his input survided, so he gets credit in submission text
Sorry, I meant co-authorship. See these movies for example: [2406] NES Kirby's Adventure "game end glitch" by MESHUGGAH, CoolKirby, Masterjun, MUGG, TASeditor & illayaya in 00:35.91 #6545: illayaya, Memory, Bluely, Bloopiero & feos's NES Super Donkey Kong 2 in 02:11.63 Those were effectively a co-op work, regardless of whose input remained in which parts of the final submission. Consider this situation:
  • 5 people improved a movie consecutively
  • Then they couldn't improve it anymore
  • The 6th person arrives and improves it
  • Some more people arrive and improve it further.
In the end it may not be possible to track whose input survived where. Does that mean some of the people who successfully improved the overall work can be dropped from the final authors, even though it was a group effort? If it's submitted and someone actually works alone and overwrites everything, of course they would be a single author. But for a group effort, it's fair to count everyone's intermediate improvement. Especially when they do not deny co-authorship explicitly. Your personal rules are too strict, the site doesn't work that way.
TASeditor wrote:
You rejected the co-authorship by done exactly nothing, except little when being asked.
It's called an assumption. Why would we rely on assumptions in a hobby that consists of checking everything all the time?

10 seconds of net backtracking sounds like it's worth including this bit in the 100% TAS definition, at least in the future, for completeness.

If you can't figure out how to improve something, then show your movie to another person, and that person manages to improve your times and sends you their input, then they have contributed to the overall product by making it more optimal. If you then improve it further, you're using their contribution as a basis (you call it a reference). If the only help you've received was textual explanations, then it's entirely up to you how to credit that. But if the other person contributed ideas implemented as input files that improved your times, then it's co-authorship. This is how we handle frame wars too: someone's intermediate input may not have survived in the end, but they managed to make the overall work more optimal, so they deserve credit.

feos!I used to think you were a just man.But that was before,now I've changed my mind.You define co-work different in different periods.Do you remember this tas?The submitter is you,feos.You retained my 99.9999% input and made a little change.Then you wrote your name in co-work.After that I improved this tas again,all the input belonged to me,originality came from Koh1fds,this means there is nothing to do with you there.Why did you retain your name in co-author?
Koh1fds discovered the new technique, I implemented it after your input. Since most of the input was still yours, I put you as the main author of the movie. You asked for explanation of how the glitch works, I explained it, then you improved the segment I made. I tried improving it time-wise and couldn't. I tried making it more entertaining, and couldn't make more entertaining glitches fit into the movie length. I didn't exclude you from the author list, and I also included Koh1fds who hadn't actually send me any inputs, only discovered the glitch. What is unjust here? I'm not even saying "only people whose input is in the movie need to be credited", because that's not what I think. Any significant contribution can be credited as co-authorship, for example research and development, route planning, etc. I made your movie shorter, you made my movie shorter, we are both co-authors of it.

I watched the video. If I ask someone to co-work on a new movie with me, get a lot of help, and then only submit my own input to remain the only author, that would be extremely questionable. The way co-authorship works is, I send my WIPs to my partner, who then improves my times and sends it back to me, then I improve, and so on. With constant back-and-forth, we try to improve upon each other in every spot, until we can't improve it anymore. But then there may be all other ways of contributing, and depending on how important the helping was, one either gets credited as a co-author or just as someone in the Thanks section. Xipo, have you actually improved TASeditor's times and sent him those as movies? I'm asking here so that everyone doesn't have to watch the video.
