LunaLua Offical Thread - SMBX Usermod Framework

[Hoeloe]

How do you create a lunadll.lua file? (The one for your episode)

Create a new .txt file, then rename it from "New Text Document.txt" to "lunadll.lua". You should get a warning about changing the filetype, but that's fine, just click OK. If you don't get a warning, chances are you haven't changed the filetype, and you may end up with a file called "lunadll.lua.txt", which won't work, so keep that in mind.

[HenryRichard]

...and if it's for the whole episode call it lunaworld.lua and put it in the episode's folder.

Hi all

I made a NPC Script who is debbug pos and id of the NPC , I wanna make one for Health with graphical bar also but
not sure how to make it

you need textblox for this to put the text on Scene
Enjoy

P.S. : Any one know how to get only NPC from a camera ?
I tried but I dont know how Camera class work

Code: Select all

local ThatNPC = NPC.getIntersecting(player.x - 500  ,  player.y - 500   , player.x + 500   , player.y + 500)

for k,v in pairs (ThatNPC) do
 
 textblox.printExt ( tostring(v.id) , {x= v.x ,y= v.y, font=textblox.FONT_SPRITEDEFAULT3X2, bind=textblox.BIND_LEVEL, halign=textblox.HALIGN_MID, valign=textblox.VALIGN_MID})
 textblox.printExt ( tostring(v.x)  , {x= v.x ,y= v.y - 25, font=textblox.FONT_SPRITEDEFAULT3 , bind=textblox.BIND_LEVEL, halign=textblox.HALIGN_MID, valign=textblox.VALIGN_MID})
 textblox.printExt ( tostring(v.y)  , {x= v.x ,y= v.y - 34, font=textblox.FONT_SPRITEDEFAULT3 , bind=textblox.BIND_LEVEL, halign=textblox.HALIGN_MID, valign=textblox.VALIGN_MID})
end

I prefer having my values for debugging not spaz around on the screen but I guess this could be useful for some people.

Yup I did this because sometime too much value on the screen instead of scene can be hard to debug if you are lost in the code
with this you are sure is the good npc (and with less lines )

[Quantumenace]

I use something similar to test NPC memory offsets. I found some info not on the wiki:

Code: Select all

Contained Within 	NPC+0x138 	FIELD_WORD
	1 = spawning from top of block
	2 = spawning from below block
	3 = unknown (moves downward)
	4 = spawning from a warp-type generator
	208 = inside Mother Brain jar
	
Generator Spawning Direction	NPC+0x144	FIELD_WORD	The direction this NPC is being spawned from a warp-type generator
Spawn flag?	NPC+0x14C	FIELD_WORD	This is 1 for a single tick when the NPC spawns or respawns by appearing on the screen. Does not apply to NPCs spawned by generators.

Block Collision Index?	NPC+0x150 	FIELD_WORD 	For NPCs that can be treated as blocks by other NPCs (but not necessarily players). Starts at around 40-80 and indexes with each NPC, left to right. Is 0 for NPCs not treated as blocks by other NPCs.

I used 0x138 and 0x144 to create what looks like a normal generator but can't be blocked by NPCs or players. You have to set the fields back to 0 manually to stop them when they're "done spawning", I'm not clear how that works with a real generator yet.

Thanks for that one , I tried with my script to debug on how a generator work but apparently the tools npc who use the player like the one who hold the canon is not a generator on what the code say :S its weird.
I can remake a videos on what how a generator work with my script I posted before.

But any one know how to search those offsets code in cheats engine ? If some one can tell what is those memory offsets I can make advance the research more far.
Thanks

Edit :
There is the video about generator and the code

Code: Select all

Is a generator	NPC+0x64	FIELD_WORD	Is a generator?
Generator delay setting	NPC+0x68	FIELD_WORD	Generator delay setting
Generator firing rate	NPC+0x6A	FIELD_WORD	Generator firing rate
Generator delay countdown	NPC+0x6C	FIELD_FLOAT	Generator delay countdown
Direction to generate NPC?	NPC+0x70	FIELD_WORD	Direction to generate NPC?
Generator type	NPC+0x72	FIELD_WORD	The generator type (1 = Warp; 2 = Projectile)
Invalidity/offscreen flag?	NPC+0x74	FIELD_WORD	Invalidity or offscreen flag?

[Quantumenace]

Yes, I know about those values, what I don't know is how the game knows when the NPC being spawned from the warp-type generator is "finished" and stops it. There's nothing that looks like a timer. I can't identify offsets 0x140-0x142, and setting either to 0 causes the NPC to act like it's finished spawning. It looks like it might be a reference to the generator NPC it's attached to.

[HenryRichard]

Has anyone found the max running speed addresses yet?

About on when it's finished it's not with this ?

Code: Select all

Invalidity/offscreen flag?   NPC+0x74   FIELD_WORD   Invalidity or offscreen flag?

when the npc is offscreen then it's spawn an another one ?

@HenryRichard
What do you mean about max running speed addresses ?

[Quantumenace]

No, that indicates that the generator won't spawn when the generator itself is offscreen. I use that to force them to run instead of deactivating.

Code: Select all

function ForceGenerators(section, npcs)
	local group = {}
	if npcs ~= nil then group = NPC.get(npcs, section) else group = NPC.get(-1, section) end
	for k,v in pairs(group) do
		if v:mem(0x64, FIELD_WORD) ~= 0 then
			v:mem(0x74,FIELD_WORD,-1)
		end
	end
end

[HenryRichard]

By that post, I meant has anyone found a way to alter a player's fastest running speed, which is currently locked at around 6 (varies depending on the character).

[Imaynotbehere4long]

I downloaded the latest version, and even though I chose "full installation," it won't run because MSVCP140.dll and VCRUNTIME140.dll weren't included in the download.

[HenryRichard]

There's a file called vcredist_x86.exe or something like that included. Run it.

EDIT: Is there any way I can draw the default graphics using Graphics.drawImage? That would make things a lot easier than having to make a bunch of graphic files that are literally just duplicates of already existing graphics.

[SecondScolipede]

Okay, sorry if this is a silly question. This is coming from someone who doesn't know anything about LunaLua, but:

Is it possible to use Lunalua to make link keep his running momentum if he attacks while running? I know he keeps his momentum if he attacks in midair, but if he attacks on the ground, he completely stops moving. Is there any way to prevent this? (And, possibly make the sword range larger?)

[DarkWolf658]

Well, im back on this thread again...

For some reason lunalua likes to show me every single god damn frame even when disable frame skip isnt checked. Is there a way to fix this? (right now lua runs slower than normal smbx)

Lua version: 7.2.2 (Luna Loader)
Windows: 7
RAM: 1.25 gigs (about half is used normally)
Open gl: No support
Direct X: No support

[Kevsoft]

Did you get a message bpx about missing features of opengl? Because if you say than your computer doesn't support opengl, you should have got a message box and the rendering system should automatically go back to the original renderer.

[DarkWolf658]

Did you get a message bpx about missing features of opengl? Because if you say than your computer doesn't support opengl, you should have got a message box and the rendering system should automatically go back to the original renderer.

The box shows up every time I start lua and tells me that its using the normal renderer, but the game in general runs slower, but ive noticed that it doesnt skip frames, or at least doesnt skip as many as normal. Also on some levels or episodes, the lag I get causes said level or episode to be become unplayable. ive also noticed that checking disable sound and manually removing any music makes it run slightly faster. (But still not normal speed)

EDIT: i just checked and whenever i use lunalua, my cpu bar goes up to the max. Maybe thats the problem?

[PixelPest]

I know that to adjust/find the player's power-up you can use player.Powerup. Is there something like that you can use for a ride (Yoshi, boot, etc.) or is there a memory value I can use? I need to test to see if the player is wearing a boot (or if one is spawned works too).
