Well if I want it to be accurate to SF2WW I could use this to look into the game to see the Velocitys or whatever it is. Or I said that because I wasn't paying attention.

Maybe it'll help if you're referencing a certain character for Gouken's moves or whatnot (like how I'm studying Kang in ROTD for one of my WIPs) (UNWARRANTED PLUGGING)

Well guys, looks like there won't be MAME compatibility. Why? Because I can't find a pointer to anything because MAME throws the data wherever the fuck it wants to.

~~So I will focus on DEmul next with Vampire Chronicle.~~

EDIT: I want to focus on CvS2 now, actually. @Odb718:, any idea how to find the projectile data such as position, velocity, etc.? The difference between P1 and P2 is 5D0 but I added that to P2's Vel X address a few times and found nothing.

EDIT2: I've found several pos X values since projectiles are allocated. This is gonna be tough. An interesting note is that projectiles dissipate with time, even if you freeze them. I noticed this with Ryu's Hadouken.

EDIT3: Here's all the possible addresses a projectile Pos X can be at.

Total of 32 projectiles. ~~The things I do for love.~~

Now I just got to get the base addresses for all of this. It's kind of tough because of the odd spacing between P1 and P2.

Shame on you!

Have you tried just browsing the memory while playing? Resizing the windows and getting the positions just perfect can be a hassle but it pays off.
Also, sometimes instead of having everything listed by player, it's grouped by what it is. So P2's projectiles could be right under P1's.

Because it's based off of the pos x on screen? couldnt you have 2 Ryus, then P2 hops to the left and wouldnt the values be about the same? Could you track it down that way?
I'd say move all the way right, find P1's fireball when it's dead center. Move P1 all the way right, P2 to the left side of the screen and throw the fireball.
Maybe that could help?

That should be every possible location for any given projectile. I'd need to see if P2's projectiles can occupy the same space, but right now it's looking like there are a total of 32 projectiles, just like in SFZ3.

The hardest part is going to be finding the base addresses for P1, P2, and the projectiles due to the odd offsets. 0x5D0 isn't even evenly divisible by 0x180.

It's gonna be a fucking nightmare trying to find the possible projectiles for MvC2.

Going to try it with Darkstalkers tomorrow to get a hang for it. If I do well with it I'll move onto CVS2. Maybe I can assist you.
Did you make it where it can output the number of ticks a frame is on screen?

The other CPS2 games should be very easy. The script should be generic enough now to where you can plug in the values from the hitbox script and it will work. You'd still need to get the other data that's not provided by the hitbox script though such as vel X and vel Y.

With that being said, maybe a better idea would be to make a generic CPS2 tool? I've made it detect game names in Kawaks, after all. Then again, you'd need to change the table itself so it could find the different life and timer values because the UI doesn't have a way to freeze/display said values ATM. It'd be easy to add but it wouldn't be as clean anymore. Maybe have it freeze the timer by default and have an "End Round" button that sets the timer to 0 so people can get winposes?

It would be trouble for home ports though, which I also want the VS/SFA3 tool to work with. So maybe it should be kept separate, but I'd like some input.

Found the box table pointer. Example is with Ryu's c.HK on his stance. ~~CvS2 appears to do it quite differently from Zero3 as they compress it all into a 2-byte value rather than 4 bytes.~~ nm.

Found the hitbox offsets for CvS2. Thank god. We're not far off.

Can this also help to rip the sprites in their full scale (like what I tried with CvS1, for the Alpha styled characters)?

Too bad I can't run MvC2 with DEmul 0.57.

Yes. You just have to find the player scale value.

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:

I'm getting the same thing. At 1st I noticed I had 1.63 so I went back to my 1.62 and it's still doing the same thing
I even did a clean install. Is there a certain version of Vampire Savior I should be using? Tried US and Japan 970519

Shouldn't matter but Euro. Did you DL the latest script? And did you make sure to have Kawaks open BEFORE you started CE?

Not starting Kawaks 1st might be why I was getting that particular error at times. But I was getting this one too. And this is all I'm getting now.

Error:[string "-- Prints the data into a form...."]:351: attempt to perform arithmetic on local 'abOff' (a nil value)

The timer values can freeze so it seems the offset is fine. (I've not attempted any sort of offset)

I highlight player 1 while he's standing and it's outputting this
