Different "offset starting frame" for multiple runs (Need adjust time)
5 months ago

Hello!

I have been thinking to maybe come back to this game and I was looking at random IL. Some of them have "offset starting frame" in some case, causing to be 1 frame slower/faster (depending how you see it). That "offset starting frame" is something that I did mention at that time to some people (but most probably forgot about it). It only happen for level that are inside other level because of how the timer code works.

There is a difference of 1 frame if you started the timer code before entering the sub-level versus started it before entering the top-level. (Or something like that, I don't 100% remember the details)

I did not check all IL time for star in level with sub-level. (maybe later) But, I checked for : Creepy Cap Cave Star Replica I compared all runs from the frame where the black star transition is exactly covering half the timer. Which is : 0.40 or 0.43 : depending if you have the "offset starting frame" or not

I will use 0.40 as the "correct" value A mod can feel free to double check, but here are my results: (NOTE : For youtube video, you can press "," or "." to frame backward/advance)

EDIT : Formatting keep breakings... so I made a google sheet for it instead.

Will see to maybe check the other stars later.

But, since this game is not that active, might not do that soon.
