It's related; the bullet vanishes at the top of the screen but Keen doesn't get to leave the level that way (Not through the top!) Instead he looks for another platformish sprite to be teleported to.mortimer wrote:No idea if this is related. But https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jE-Rj8C8d7c
What you really need, not what you think you ought to want.

Re: Bullet Step trick (K6) - looking for a gif
hey guys,
I need some help. I'm about to update the Impossible Bullet Trick page. The Impossible Pogo Trick article already features a neat .gif image, which illustrates the impossible pogo trick.
Can someone record something similar for the Impossible Bullet Trick, please?!

Re: Bullet Step trick (K6)
excellent loop! thanks very much.
can you also share the raw video recording, please?! this should help shrinking everything down to 320x200px (I can do that). next step would be to convert it into a GIF file. what kind of tool would you recommend for doing stuff like that?!
Edit: just noticed that ffmpeg can also handle a pixel perfect converting step.
Edit: ffmpeg + imagemagick =
Edit: for anybody interested, these are my parameters:

Re: Bullet Step trick (K6)
Yes, the loop did turn out rather okay, what with the blue blooglet's walking cycle being seamless
but I'm afraid I went about it all the wrong way. I DosBoxed some footage, uploaded it to Youtube, and then plugged the link into Imgur. Hence the poor quality. To be of any help, I'll have to start from scratch.
Anyways! Looks like you've got it now! Well done!

yeah, the problem with online converting services is, that you never know what parameters they use to transcode your source material into another format. results are mostly average.I don't trust these tools.
I was also too lazy to do some research in the first place, but eventually did it anyways. I recorded the sequence via DOSBox, extracted every frame into a PNG file and finally converted everything into a GIF. With the small script shown above, the conversion took about 10 seconds.
