Trackmania TAS Compilation | Best of TAS

- CORRECTION: A05 RACE WAS DRIVEN BY LinkMax, NOT Reilem. My apologies for this. Also, I wrote A11 Acrobatic instead of C11 Race (I tried calling it "acrobatic" as a joke but then ruined it for myself..)

Also, according to this tweet, Wirtual helped Sokko perform the C09 TAS, specifically, improving the second half, so credit goes to him as well! WirtualTM/status/...
I want to start this by thanking everyone who has been driving these records. None of these records and videos are mine and I would never dare to take any kind of credit for them.
I also want to thank Donadigo for his efforts in releasing the TAS tool.
This is a video I put together when I realised how many short clips there were of TASes on KZbin. I wanted to group them all together for viewing pleasure. If more TASes come out (Im refreshing every minute Im more obsessed than Traba) I will probably make another compilation, until then we can enjoy what we've got already. So much more is coming.
I know I didn't include every single TAS that has been released. For a couple reasons. One had super sloppy framerates, some were just optimization but not exactly flashy enough to put in this video, and some like Trinity's rambug TASes, while amazing, felt a bit repetitive. Definitely check out every creator listed in the video:

Btw the run by angecide was made using our old tool. No bruteforce. No speedup to reach the next section faster. Restarting the script after every run. Pretty much only hours of manual inputs. Mad respect.

[@psclly]

It was also one of the most controversial videos posted. That comment section was getting more and more heated in every video Still, the pioneers of TAS are truly the trendsetters here, you all showed what could truly be possible with the game, so indeed mad respect I was thinking of giving all you lads a section for yourself but I'll leave that to Wirtual's history of TAS video :P

[@tormod1957]

what is bruteforce? like, something different from, bruteforce?

[@psclly]

@@tormod1957 from what I understand, bruteforcing is having the computer put in random inputs in a certain section of the track and going through as many possible combinations as it can, to find the right set of inputs that nets you the fastest time. It's extremely powerful if you're looking for uberbugs that need random inputs. C11 (which I labeled a11 in the video) was bruteforced to find the uber. Donadigo's run with the wallrides is also bruteforced to find the bugfin

TAS is still limited by human inventiveness. They will brute force certain parts but may not find some crazy “drive over this barrier right next to the start to send the car flying to the finish” exploit.

Thanks to absolutely everyone and everyone who contributed to this, every player and non-player, thanks to everyone from the bottom of my heart p.s. sorry my bad English

It could be very cool to create like a "tmnf TAS world records" playlist ! If you can it could be very entertaining To see how far it goes ! Ty for this compilation anyway

[@psclly]

This would indeed be awesome, but we'd have to get a semi-official submission forum for the runs. I'm happy to keep tabs on what the records are, but creating a leaderboard without users sending their own replays could become messy and incomplete. If I do have a list of TAS WRs in a playlist, I want every single one of em :D If theres more runs coming up I'll create another compilation, and if theres so much interest in TAS that people start actively seeking WRs and improvements I'm down for a proper TAS leaderboard. For now, lets just enjoy the show ^_^

With that tool delievered does even fwo still have a purpouse?

[@psclly]

Hmmm.. It's a controversy for sure already if TAS is healthy for the game. Right now it's used to test limits and since it just became available everyone is jumping on the train. However, this isn't trackmania anymore, it's TASmania. I think that as soon as this trend dies down a little we will be going back to normal cut actions, but I wouldn't be surprised if humans proving cuts stops becoming something to look forward to, as it would probably be done in TAS first. I think it's important we understand how different these modes are. I bet competitions like Kackiest Kacky will be even more relevant now as TASing won't completely destroy the timesheets there, if everyone can agree not to TAS it. TMNF never truly chokes when it comes to content, but everyone can agree everyone was reaching their limits on the maps, whether it be motivation or physical human limits (A01 cough).

[@dalog9194]

13:18 nice.

[@GreyWind]

Can someone give me a vague idea of how the tool works? Because it seems even if you try countless times and tweak countless times some run just seem impossible

[@psclly]

Since all trackmania inputs in a replay are saved to a file. You can edit this file repeatedly, changing inputs one by one, changing the outcome of the replay. The tool lets you freely edit, redrive, remove and add inputs. Other than that, there's slow motion, letting you manually slowly drive, but you can also use "brute-force", where you make the program go through thousands of possible random inputs to find small improvements. That's how the tool works. You can create theoretically perfect runs, but that really depends on how many hours you want to put into it.

[@GreyWind]

@@psclly Wow I'm really intrigued by the "brute-force" algorithm, I wonder if it can get creative and find those flashy shortcuts by itself. If not it's just sheerly impressive of the runs' creators' creativity! So I guess they must've set up creative ideas and "isolate" the section to let the tool run. Would that be remotely correct?

[@psclly]

@@GreyWind Unfortunately the tool isn't strong enough to find shortcuts on its own (lets be real, theres more possible combinations of inputs than there are possible games of chess), and the brute force tool only records and saves the inputs if something factually meaningful is found. Like if you already have a 22.35, and you use brute-force on the entire run. It will mention having found a 22.34 through careful changes. It's hard to expect the current tool to find shortcuts on your own, but as you said quite accurately, it is used to improve on ideas in isolation. Usually TASers create base runs with their own manual driving in slow motion, from there they can choose to brute force the run up until lets say checkpoint 1, and they can continue driving once the brute force program found the optimal route. Rince and repeat for optimization. This video by now has grown outdated and old, considering the kinds of shortcuts being released nowadays, but brute force remains a perfect tool to squeeze out hundreds. If a map only takes 10 seconds to complete, brute force is your friend to find a possible solution that brings you that extra 0.01 seconds gain, and it's lovely.
