Me trying to bunnyhop  
new version 5 seconds fasterhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fa2kCGAKdXowhat do you think  
this was done with a cheat, which is host\_framerate  
played in slowmo and then viewed in real time

I don’t really know anything about TASing so do correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t using slowdowns technically make a run a TAS anyway?

a tas is a tool assisted speedrun, i used cheats not tools and by tools i mean programs

host\_framerate counts as a TAS tool, as it give slowmotion. So saying its not a TAS would be lying. Because your using a tool (host\_framerate) to assist you in speedrunning.

i removed the “this isn’t a tas” and added tas to the title

If you’re interested in TASes, try out YaLTeR’s Half-Life TAS mod. It has a lot of features like autostrafing so you wouldn’t have to wiggle your mouse manually and just hold a button to gain speed. Also, work on your acceljumps (aka prestrafes), you can start your bhop at ~480 ups instead of 320 ups (walking speed).

This was actually done in YaLTeRs tas mod, I just only used the bunny mod pro features  
And with the autostrafing it was only strafing forward i couldn’t go to the left or to the right with like curves and stuff  
and the prestrafes… it will take like months for me to start at 480 because im a beginner, ive only been bhopping for 1 week…

What do you mean? Surely if you’re playing the game at a much slower rate it gives you more time to get a good prestrafe?

If you want to do slowmotion TAS’s (like the ones in the TAS list that are not light-green highlighted) then you might want to use a slowmotion script instead of host\_framerate, because it is consistent and easier for realtime use. You can get one from [this](http://tasvideos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11655) page.

Copy it properly into your _userconfig.cfg_, then adjust the slowmotion amount by changing the number of \*\*pause;wait; \*\*'s in the _p4us3_ alias, then (in the example that you pasted) start a segment and press **k** to start the slowmotion and then press it again to stop it. Set your host\_framerate to 0 while doing that by the way.

You are using the Steam version, aren’t you? It doesn’t have \_special anymore.

Get NGHL and try again.

For example, like that:  
alias p4us3 “pause;wait;wait;wait;wait;wait;pause;wait;special”
