ZiNc input plugins

Although ZiNc is currently the best option to play TGM, it is known for its frame input delay and it doesn't have a recording/playback capability of its own. However, you'll find here an input plugin for recording/playback.

=Input recorder/player=
 * Source
 * Windows
 * Linux

This is a proxy or filter plugin that stands between ZiNc and the actual input plugin. As such, it doesn't run by itself. On top of recording/playing back, it effectively turns tgmj into a 4-way stick game by sorting diagonals to a single direction.

Here's the instructions:

Installing
 * 1) Rename your actual input plugin to realcontroller.znc (Windows) or librealcontrolznc.so (Linux)
 * 2) Put this file in place of the actual plugin

Recording
 * 1) Before running ZiNc, backup your game's .cfg file
 * 2) The first time you run a game, the plugin will create a .znp file
 * 3) * Actually, this happens when the respective .znp file doesn't exist
 * 4) * Remember, the backed up .cfg pairs with the created .znp file

Replaying
 * 1) Put the backed up .cfg in place
 * 2) The second time you run a game, the plugin will read the respective .znp file
 * 3) * Actually, this happens when the respective .znp file exists

Here are two batch files that might help: @rem record.bat @echo off copy /y cfg\tgmj.cfg cfg\tgmj-before.cfg del tgmj.znp ZiNc 24 @rem playback.bat @echo off copy /y cfg\tgmj.cfg cfg\tgmj.bak copy /y cfg\tgmj-before.cfg cfg\tgmj.cfg ZiNc 24 move /y cfg\tgmj.bak cfg\tgmj.cfg
