During my first attempt, which resulted in et01x047, I gave a try to perform a zero-press on the switch behind the red bars which would be an even better shortcut. Unfortunately, I didn't get a positive result and took red key path, being sure that zero-press is impossible.

After a long while, El Juancho proved it's actually possible to perform that zero-press, and I decided to give it another try. After 1 full day of brute forcing, I made it and examined it better.

My main oversight is that if a switch cannot be activated using .000000 trick, then zero-press is impossible. Usually it works if the distance doesn't exceed a specific number of map units, but sometimes it works if your target coordinate (either X or Y, in relation to the switch side) can vary by ±0.01. It takes 3-4 tics to brute force mashing small numbers of SR and SL.

As I found for the second time, it makes sense to kill the shotgunner (thing 74) and take the gun on your way in, to have your gun ready for removing an obstacle on your way out of the yellow key section. This time I got lucky - nothing was blocking my way on the stairs and I performed a wallrunning trick while in the air.

As a result, I moved from using Andrey Budko's slow-motion TAS, to using ELMLE's red key item grabbing trick, to performing a zero-press discovered by El Juancho.

P.S: the lighting is pretty bad on Software render here. Wish I could switch to OpenGL on VirtualBox.
