Okay what the heck am I doing wrong?

I'm no wiz at this stuff by a long shot, but I followed your directions here: (after selecting winkawaks as the process)

Select "yes" when it asks to run the Lua script and click "Start Diagnostics" to begin reading data. There is no need to synchronize the table.

And this is what I get:


What do I do? I'm certain it's a simple thing, since I am a moron.

See I told you I'm a moron.

I had kawaks ver. 1.61

Downloaded 1.62 and now it works.

Yeah I probably should've mentioned I was using 1.62. I assumed it would work on all versions of Kawaks but I guess I was wrong. :(

I like the memory function and the search fields are more comprehensive than artmoney's (though a fucked searches filled my SSD with 10 gigs of temp files). Resyncing the data is actually a lot quicker than in artmoney too.

I'm still getting nothing in terms of finding position and velocity data in Hyper NeoGeo 64 games, so it hasn't one-upped artmoney yet. I might be able to access it through memory now though.

Also, since you've ran some scripts to automate data collection, how much lua do I need to know to write them? I can see this coming in handy for delving into SS64.

I knew very little Lua when I started writing this script. The most Lua I knew came from making FF scripts and my knowledge of Python (the two languages are quite similar).


Also script was updated again. It now works on SFA3. It should automatically detect which game is loaded, so no need to re-run the script in between loading VSav and SFA3.


I've also begun making it as generic as possible so that plugging in other games for future scripts will be easier.

Next I will add a calculator for total distance so that it's easier to cross-check results. I'll also add a ΔX Pos and ΔY Pos for checking results because you shouldn't totally rely on the velocity values it gives you. The perfect example of this is Felicia's Rolling Buckler. At the end of the light version, it will say her Vel X is 9 when in actuality, it's 8.

I'll try adding another window for getting projectile data, but that might be a little more difficult since there can be more than one on-screen at once.

After that, I'll move onto MvC2 due to popular demand. I think I recall Jedpossum getting hitboxes from that and showing them at SRK a while back so stay tuned on whether or not that's possible (follow me on Twitter @Jesuszilla_TM for more progress updates as I usually post new developments there). Velocities should be doable but I recall having some trouble with those when using ArtMoney.

So I've been talking with Jedpossum and he used CheatEngine too when he was searching for the hitboxes for MvC2 and CvS2.

Get ready for Marvel!

Y'all don't even know, but I have big plans for Marvel once JZ's done. This whole data thing is a giant oyster....

This should def help increase the already increasing community standards, this is very exciting!

But are there truly grown men in this world?!

Marvel may take a while. I can't even find Vel X and Vel Y.

I think I remember Cyanide saying that there's something weird with how Marvel calculates vels. Like how every tick changes or something.

I found them! Unlike other Capcom games, which store a separate part for the int part and a 2-byte integer for the float part, MvC2.... uses actual floats!

They're scaled to 480p, though. So they're scaled by 2, then scaled by the CPS2 scale of 5/6 (or .833333...). So Jin's forward velocity in MvC2 is shown as 4.166666... His velocity in MvC1 is 2.5. So his velocity in MvC2 is 2.5*2.0*(5/6) = 4.166666...

I will try to account for this in the tool as best as I can (floats are by no means precise). I'll see if I can find some values before applying the CPS2 scale. If not, it'll basically be an approximation that should get correct results most of the time. Bloody scaling!

BAD-FUCKING-ASS.

Now I can make the characters 100% accurate. (as their vels were mostly guesses).

lol, no.

Now you finaly will eb able to gather accurate data, just to find out that mugen starts doing stupid shit with it, it's been like that for years with kof.

100% accuracy in mugen. It's nice to dream.

Can't wait to start fiddling with this. If only I had time to actually try it out.
