I wrote a Dragster lua script for visual feedback while practicing or for recording a stepmania chart to play against.
Please use responsibly. 5.57 needs to be legit. Using the script in a direct manner would invalidate the run.
EDIT: Newer script here: https://pastebin.com/FrZM5FgD
Also I reviewed darbian's 5.61 video:
- His first shift was on the correct frame, but he held the gas one frame too early at the start, so he already missed 5.57 off the start.
- As a result, all of his gear 2 through 4 shifts were about 0.1 seconds too early if he was doing them visually or by audio.
Emphasis: The first three shifts are everything, and even if you get a 5.61 you might be doing them relatively wrong.
The script is pretty good at telling you if you got the first few shifts right (green) or wrong (red) Wrong makes a 5.57 impossible. You will find it is quite difficult to get them all correct.
To my understanding, the game only reads input every other frame at 60 fps, correct me if I'm wrong. This means every button must be held two frames. This is why it seems like inputs drop sometimes.
I updated my script to make resetting easier.
