If you want to convert to negative, subtract 256 or 65536 from the number as appropriate for the data size.

I realized it could be used for botting
Just when I thought this Lua thing couldn't get more awesome, I realized it could be used for botting, and created a rudimentary bot script for SMW. How it works is, it runs to the right while holding Y, and randomly presses B. Brilliant, isn't it?
looks very nice to me tbh, you plan to expand it? :) would be great to see a more general version (e.g. one that does not assume that holding right+Y is best, and one that might start flying? :D)
The inputs will become more random in the next version. It might also be cool to use hard-coded input sets to affect flying and certain glitches from the TASes, but I expect that it will be stuck as a dodo, considering the unlikelihood of Mario grabbing a feather. ;)
Just when I thought this Lua thing couldn't get more awesome, I realized it could be used for botting,
while(score < MAX_SCORE){
score = 0;
save state 1 frame before the gate;
poke score with desired score;
when lagging increment a lag counter; //hard part
stop incrementing lag counter;//stop time not important as long as all lag is recorded
file I/O;
score++;
load state
}
DeHackEd: I think this bot is a good example of an alternate usage of lua scripting that isn't just for gui displays. You might want to take an in-depth look at this ;)
if (!(address >= 0x7e0000 && address <= 0x7fffff)) return; // These might be better using binary arithmatic -- a shift and an AND int slot = address / 8; int bits = address % 8; extern unsigned char lua_watch_bitfield[16384]; // Check the slot if (lua_watch_bitfield[slot] & (1 << bits)) S9xLuaWrite(address);
Reminds me of when I created this topic?
It's touch-and-go for me to say the least, but the only thing stopping it from working perfectly were finding out how to correctly determine what a lag frame was, and make sure that the amount of lag does correspond with a "poked" score.
v0.04 is crashing whenever I load a ROM. I'm just going to assume the problem is my system, until someone else reports the same problem.
Doesn't improvement 12 beta fix the problem?
