Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't turboing A while sidehopping leak frames here and there?
I don't know the game well enough to say if the route and movement are optimized, but it was a really great watch. Keep up the good work !
Hathor, could you reupload the link to your ram watch/lua script, the link is broken. Also Is anyone interested in working on an all masks TAS with me? I've only been working on it for a few days now. I'm currently trying to get the text skip before the twisted room.
Your goal might be a little bit arbitrary.
Just a friendly reminder that you have a mismatched closing tag for the video, breaking the link and hiding the rest of the post. :)
If you want to test it, you can download the patched version of BizHawk here and the plugin here. Place the dll and param.xml files into the GameTools folder. Rename the dll like this: Legend of Zelda, The - Majora's Mask (USA).dll Run BizHawk, start the ROM and then Tools => Custom Tool (below Lua Console); it should normally work.
it sounds a really bad idea the idea of separating and then getting everything together
Then in ToolManager.cs: In order to handle an incorrectly load tool, I added a null return at bout line 70.Language: C/*...*/ new PathEntry { System = "Global_NULL", SystemDisplayName="Global", Type = "Multi-Disk Bundles", Path = Path.Combine(".", "Tools"), Ordinal = 12 }, new PathEntry { System = "Global_NULL", SystemDisplayName="Global", Type = "GameTools", Path = Path.Combine(".", "GameTools"), Ordinal = 13 }, /*...*/
Now the biggest part is in the function CreateInstance that I reviewed like this:Language: C/*...*/ var newTool = CreateInstance(toolType); if (newTool == null) { return null; } /*...*/
Finally, I added this line ine the LoadRom function (in MainForm.cs):Language: Cprivate IToolForm CreateInstance(Type toolType) { IToolForm tool; //Specific case for custom tools if (toolType == typeof(ICustomGameTool)) { string path = Path.Combine(Global.Config.PathEntries["Global", "GameTools"].Path, string.Format("{0}.dll", Global.Game.Name)); if (File.Exists(path) && MessageBox.Show("A custom plugin has been found for the ROM you're loading. Do you want to load it?\r\nAccept ONLY if you trust the source and if you know what you're doing. In any other case, choose no." , "Answer to life, universe and everything else?", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, MessageBoxIcon.Question) == DialogResult.Yes) { try { // As the object is "remote"(external to the project), the CreateInstanceFrom returns a handle.We need to Unwrap in order to make the casting tool = System.Activator.CreateInstanceFrom(path, "BizHawk.Client.EmuHawk.CustomMainForm").Unwrap() as IToolForm; if (tool == null) { MessageBox.Show("It seems that the object CustomMainForm does not implement IToolForm. Please review the code.", "Boom!", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation); return null; } } catch (MissingMethodException) { MessageBox.Show("It seems that the object CustomMainForm does not have a public default constructor. Please review the code.", "Boom!", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation); return null; } catch (TypeLoadException) { MessageBox.Show("It seems that the object CustomMainForm does not exists. Please review the code.", "Boom!", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation); return null; } } else { return null; } } else { tool = (IToolForm)Activator.CreateInstance(toolType); } // Add to our list of tools _tools.Add(tool); return tool; }
The code of the external tool should reference the Exe and looks like this:Language: CGlobalWin.Tools.Load<ICustomGameTool>();
When compiled, renamed like the targeted ROM (c.f. in gamedb) and placed into the GameTools folders, the form will be automatically shown (exactly the same way as the RAM Watch for example) when the ROM will be loaded. Same questions: What do you think about this? Could it be interesting? EDIT: GitHub link. I applied my changes from the current Release branch of the official project.Language: C/*...*/ namespace BizHawk.Client.EmuHawk { public partial class CustomMainForm : Form, ICustomGameTool { public CustomMainForm() { InitializeComponent(); } /*...*/
How's this been going, Hathor? Not to nag of course, I'm just wondering. :)
Why didn't you go back to the other witch after bottle 'cause you need her healed to get pictobox?
Getting the 50r in the lens grotto seemed odd when you got the wallet maxed out later.
A suggestion for the Aliens: Have them all be one frame from entering the barn at the end.
Are we sure US emulator is faster than japanese emulator for loading zones ?

That is a lovely looking ui, mind sharing the script (also is it 1.9.4 base compatible, or do I need to use at least a certain SVN revision)?
I'm no MM expert but to my eyes it does look good. Keep up the great work !
It's not fully fonctionnal but it works. Drop downs are to set values but it doesn't for the moment (I didn't write the code yet). It is cool to reproduce a specific situation for testing stuff (and easiest than use the ram watch to poke values).
The smallest window is mainly used for macros.
Finally, I give you my current ram watch. Keeta really helps me to make it.
Enjoy
@codepoint92: Great :D Normally, when we have to beat this Geko, we have the bow and fire arrows but we never know what the will be in the future^^
The 100% RTA definition is: Everything you don't lose when you play SoT. And that includes notebook entrys (as well as maps, compasses and boss keys). So, I'd say should a 100% TAS ever be created we should do the same thing.
After hacking Twitch chat, TASBot is able to re-write ROM over network... Impressive.
So, thanks everyone! and good luck for future releases :)
*Back to lua scripting*
Hathor, reboot.
emu.frameadvance is special and can only be run from the lua main loop. basically "emu.frameadvance" is equivalent to "exit lua and run for a frame and then return to lua". This is nonsense from the context of a button event, and consequently it got coded in such a way that when you tried it, it just crashed. Don't expect this basic execution model to change any time soon, so don't expect this to work any time soon. You should work around this by using emu.yield or emu.emuyield or some such in a loop so that your lua script doesnt exit. then when the button is pressed, set a flag. pick that flag up in the main loop in your lua script.
As we can see, it happens when I try to load a N64 ROM. The weirdest is that the same ROM successfully loads few hours ago. I tried to load another ROM and it works.
So, I suppose that a wrong setting have been saved but I can't find where... I tried to remove my config.ini and even a fresh downloaded package; the result is the same...
I also had look into my appdata folders but I didn't find anything...
EDIT: Bizhawk version is 1.9.4
local function foo()
console.log("Before call");
emu.frameadvance();
console.log("After call");
end
local form = forms.newform(200, 200, "Test");
forms.button(form, "Click Me!", foo, 50, 15, 75, 25);
