Whenever i double click on them, a subcategory called Test_2.tbm comes up, and that doesn't work at all! On top of all this, whenever I try to change the gamerules to make gravity -30 instead of that stupid -9.82, it says that it is changed, but I get the feeling in game that it has not. For instance, I went through Mocucha's first few minutes of his tutorial piece by minute fucking piece after I couldn't do it myself and it still would not work! Even when I replicated his first few steps EXACTLY. WTF is wrong? Do I need to reinstall toribash?
You can't just watch a video and expect to be great. Practice practice practice. About the test_2 thing, I get it all the time too. I've posted about it in the support/suggestions board, and they just tell me to type /loadmod xspar.tbm. I've told them that it's an annoying hazard, but nobody agrees that it's enough to change. Try just running around on the ground, or trying new parkour maps. It's much different to run on a modded surface than the regular floor. Go through your runs frame by frame, step by step, and edit where needed. Besides, your run isn't bad either. Just don't lean over quite as far, and add some pec movements for realism.
BTW, I watched this when it first came out and it was a great vid. It didn't really teach me how to run, but it told me how to smooth it out and such, and what to change and when. GJ
