Dooty and I need a Lua Script for Abe's Oddysee PC and for the PCSX-rr emulator. In the new 100% TAS that Dooty is working on, he uses a new glitch which makes him invincible. As discussed in the Playstation section of the game, Antd suggested making a square box whilst Abe is invincible and a PS1 controller show what buttons are pressed during the invincible moments. If anyone would like to help make scripts, that would be bloody marvellous!

By "invincible" do you mean "Invisible" ? Otherwise I do not see the need for a box around the character?

There are some levels in the run where you can't see him but you can control him.

That would be "Invisible" then :) Sorry, just wanted to make sure I wasn't getting something wrong.

You can already see the input with a pcsxrr hotkey. As for the hitbox, do you have the memory address?

Maybe this(RAM search tab) ressource may help you for the job :) So far, we can probably do some work with the (x,y) position of Abe and adjust the hitbox as he crouch, etc.

Is there anything we could do this source code: http://code.google.com/p/psxjin/source/browse/trunk/psxjin/plugins/gpuTASsoft/gpuPeopsSoft.rc?spec=svn417&r=417 to add Abe's game fix?

Yes, but no one knows what. I posted on Pete's (the creator of peops gpu) forum and got no response.

I have managed to get the input to show using the Peops soft 1.4 plugin and i can run the latest movie in 27:01 without any desync using the build posted on the Abe's Oddyee forum What I did was add the luascript and runit and i got input! Now we can add a hitbox to Abe and then I can record it using Camtasia with showing input and a hitbox.

I think input is displayed there using gpu message function, not real lua drawings like tas gpu.

It only works when I add the Lua script and run it.

Yeah now I remember. Making that gpu plugin work with lua graphic tool pretty much mean a full night(or more) of debugging just to understand what's going on with the graphic buffer pointer, etc... Then you need to make some kind of adapter for that particuliar plugin to get this working. I really doubt anyone would be motivated to fix this. At some point, I wonder if it would be possible to make a hud from an "external transparent windows" where you simply put it over the emulator windows. Then this external would simply read a file containing the data to draw and show some line or rectangle according to them.
