I'm feeling the same way as some others: a tool-assisted speedrun of Elma might be more interesting if all the moves performed were legit, that is, as would be accepted in a normal run by WR-table standards.

vectrast levels are very cool. The vertices are being traced following the traits of a given image. There are many possibilities. Feel welcomed to post the original image too, so we can see where it's coming from! (thread inspired by this picture: http://kopasite.net/up/wpfio72vaj995e2/birthday_card...

Maybe I'm the last person to comment on that game, since in Elma I'm interested in unique styles instead of höyling. The vast majority of those styles are really basic by even 1997 Across standards. You're nailing down something here. I may be wrong in some aspects, but to exaggerate things a littl...

HatCat

Can you show some more complex styles/moves that are possible in Trials? I've spyed some videos and it seems extreemly uninteresting with a focus on fancy graphics and explosions liek woah duuude awsom kickass radical! Sure. Personally I prefer Elma, but for me Trials HD definitely has something (e...

It might be interesting to hear the specifics, though.

if any one ever read this enough to be influenced by it: try the "big pack" dlc, which smooths out the learning curve a little bit. plus, its tournaments are beatable, contrary to the ones of the latter dlc, which for it to be said is not recommended by everyone. i personally feel the firs...

I played Trials on a game website when I was a kid, it was fun but then I found Elma =) yeah, that was back then, when there was no progressive acceleration available (like in trials hd). i lived emotions in elma, and i think i like this game more, but trials permitted me living more intense emotio...

It impresses me that there is no thread on this game yet. Someone should create one! I have been addicted to this game since the first time I've seen it. Two (or three) hours later, I drove a great time on the first level which has stuck ever since. I devoured the game. At first I had only two fault...

great and interesting tbale, but me personally at least, don't see the appeal of bugged recs (such as precarious' and stini's enigma). others are awesome... i just checked a few but am still amazed to having watched tag (sled) a few days ago.

Damn. He made my shirt and has been very nice to me. I was jogging next to where he was living once and didn't want him to come with me as I didn't want to be slowed down. I regret that. I have never seen him in person.

This whole thing makes me sad.

Okay. But last time I tried, grass or textures were offset that way (using the EOL zoom). That can be seen on the fifth level, amongst others. Grass or textures at the start are moved away and zoom cannot seem to fix it, IIRC.

HatCat

Yes, I understand that. I was referring to patches (v1.2, v1.3, etc.).

But upon rendering, is it theoretically possible, to double the scaling? (doubling pixels on each axis)? Or would that just _overthrow_ the limits of dll coding?

HatCat

I really don't want to push, but I'm asking, mostly out of curiosity: can that dll control the scaling? The community versions permit that, but the grass is offset then. To scale the output 2x (multiplying every pixel by four), without interpolation. I'm curious. On top of that, I'd pay anyone for t...

Unfortunately, Elma still won't launch whenever ddraw.dll is called. What's your guess? Hard to say. There's nothing - at leats in my code - that causes the game to terminate without informing anything. What I'd have in mind is that it outputs to command-line window lines such as "step 1"...

Virtual machines are known to lack some opengl extensions which might make the dll unusable. It should tell if any of the extensions are unavailable, though. Yes. It seems to support quite a lot of OpenGL extensions, though: http://www.geeks3d.com/20110119/virtualbox-4-0-2-released-78-opengl-extens...

The game does not start for me. EOL works with intense slowdown under VirtualBox (although vanilla performs 5x better). This is with either VSYNC off or on.
