you know what here's metatable shenanigans that ain't useless

Code: [Select]

enemyMeta={}

enemyMeta.__newindex=function(t,k,v)
    local base=0xF7A+(t.id*0x40)
    if k==pos then
        mainmemory.write_u16_le(base,v.x)
        mainmemory.write_u16_le(base+4,v.y)
    elseif k==hp then
        mainmemory.write_u16_le(base+0x12,v)
    end
end

enemiesMeta={}

enemiesMeta.__index=function(t,i)
    local camx = mainmemory.read_u16_le(0x000911)
    local camy = mainmemory.read_u16_le(0x000915)
local oend = 20
local base = 0xF7A
if i > 0 then
base = 0xF7A + (i * 0x40)
elseif i>oend then
        base = 0xF7A + (oend * 0x40)
    else
base = 0xF7A
end
local worldx=mainmemory.read_u16_le(base)
    local worldy=mainmemory.read_u16_le(base+4)
local screenx = worldx - camx
local screeny = worldy - camy
local xrad = mainmemory.read_u8(0x0F82 + (i * 0x40))
local yrad = mainmemory.read_u8(0x0F84 + (i * 0x40))
local hp = mainmemory.read_u16_le(base + 0x12)
local enemyTable={id=i,pos={x=worldx,y=worldy},screenpos={x1=x + (xrad * -1),y1=y + (yrad * -1),x2=x+xrad,y2=y+yrad},hp=hp}
    setmetatable(enemyTable,enemyMeta)
    return enemyTable
end

local enemies={}

setmetatable(enemies,enemyMeta)
what you're seeing is DFHack-style enemy manipulation in Super Metroid

you're welcome

(it doesn't have everything yet, though--conveniently, however, everything is available)

MetHack when?

[Putnam]

basically never, their modding tools are super good (as far as ROMHacking tools go) anyway

it could be REALLY GOOD for TASes though tbf

My exams are over.

Thank
the
lord I don't believe in.

I only have one more. Biology II, and I can analyse diagrams and write essays, so it should be fine. And then I'm freeeee for a day before I have to start working again.

Just got my full final exam results. 94% math, 93% english and 82% estonian. Which doesn't even matter cause I could already get into university based on some other criteria.

But I expected to do better. It's absolutely retarded to complain about the results I got, but somehow I still want to have a few points more.

Well, whatever, the world is my oyster and all that. Can go study whatever I like with these.

[Arx]

I fully understand. Somewhere around eighty percent you start getting more disappointed as your mark improves instead of less, because there are fewer things that you should just not have messed up dammit.

Or at least, that's how it works for me. Ninety-eight percent just means that you only needed to make four less mistakes for a perfect mark.

Caught someone stealing my food yesterday, told staff. Today they're gone. Pretty quick response time by staff, really.

[Dutchling]

no alleecat

he is food now

We believe in a strictly eye for an eye, kidney for a kidney, steak for a steak approach here.

When the result approaches 0, you count every point you got.
When the result approaches 100, you count every point you lost.

[Tawa]

I've never really felt that way. Mid-high 90s and 100s always just seemed interchangable to me.

Lucky sod. I was bitten by a radioactive overachiever when I was twelve, and have rarely been satisfied with a mark since.


The feeling of lightness you get after a good workout is amazing.

[TD1]

Lucky sod. I was bitten by a radioactive overachiever when I was twelve, and have rarely been satisfied with a mark since.

Ditto.

Though I was bitten later.

[scrdest]

I went the opposite way. I've been exposed to too much fucking over independent of my effort and pressure to do well I stopped caring.
