New Class 2 Record + Script Update (Patreon)

As an update to the previous post thanks to our new understanding of the races in jak 2 me and  ⁨@Bintendo⁩ cooked up some new lap skips and after she refined a new route including them she managed to get a new world record on class 2! Go check it out if you are so inclinded. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVr4tVhN94g

In script news i might have been a bit bullish on the estimate but i should be in the voice over and editing phase by monday next week at the latest. Theres been a few hangs trying to read into the code and fully decipher what is going on the most recent one being protect samos. Theres a giant list of set! lines with if statements after followed by suspend-for X seconds every so often. My current understanding is that the game has 2 conditions for the mission to be over, first making it to the end of this suspend list which roughly lines up with the timer strat checking if all the guards spawned from the carriers are cleared and second it sees if all 4 waves of hover enemies are cleared (the jetpack guards). Then if both are done it ends the mission. I just need to find the exact conditions in the code before i pull the trigger on that explanation so i dont unintentionally spread misinfo. The upcoming missions are alot simpler to explain but theres a few esoteric tricks here and there so after this and another hang in the tomb daxter chase skip are solved should be relatively smooth sailing from there.

Finally, thank you all so much for getting the jak 3 video to 11k!

Yo patrons this is a secret message only for you 😱 My process now for script writing is to write everything down physically to avoid distractions. Would it be worth it to yall for me to take the time to transcribe it down so you could read it in full? Or should i instead just use that time to try and get a video preview out as fast as possible after finishing the script instead? Im leaning towards the latter because i think the video previews would be more interesting than the script as its pretty reliant on visuals for some parts to make sense but up to yall. Hope life treats you to something nice soon, peace out for now.
