For those who always wanted an upgrade to RAM Watch or just displaying the current frames memory values to the client window with lua;
It's now here, the
TAStudio Output Logger Framework!
With this framework you can write your own very simple lua script to display the memory values for each played back frame in TAStudio as color and text.
Not working
Branch action undo and branch reordering, it messes up the files and logs.
Features
GUI
It consists of a dropdown list with the branches and the time difference compared to the current section start, a number below 0 means the branch is faster than the current input.
The list is opened by clicking the '▲'-button and clicking on an item from the list selects the given branch as the branch to compare against.
Next to it are '-' and '+'-button to just decrement and increment the branch index by 1.
The 'Best'-button selects the branch with the shortest time between the section start marker and the section end marker, with the same notes as the the current section markers.
Finally the text next to it is the current section start markers text with the time difference to the selected branch at the end, a value below 0 means the current input is faster.
Sections
Sections are marker that don't start its note with "-" or aren't empty. Name the markers individualy - like "Level 1 Key", "Level 2 Key" and so on, or the section find algorithm might fail.
The sections are used to offset the index for relative branch comparison and to display the time difference.
Logs
A log consists of its name, a function how to retrieve the logs values from games memory and a list containing each logged value.
Branch Logs
When saving a branch the current values are saved into a branch log. And loading a branch loads the branch logs values into the current log.
Old Logs
The old logs are the logs with the values from the last input change, which means the old logs are only updated with current logs values when playing back over ungreenzone frames.
It also gets updated by loading branches.
Printers
Those define how to output the values from the logs into TAStudio cells as text and as color.
On how to write a script, please use the userfile notes as reference. Also have a try with the demo srcipt.
