The idea behind this project is to go over all of your SSBM slippi replay files and get the conversions (as defined by slippi-js, basically combos). These are stored in a sqlite database, which we can search from. You can assign conversions to playlists, and then play them and record them (using OBS or dolphin frame dump and eventually upload them to gfycat). There are several settings that need to be set.

PLATFORMS:

• Windows (see releases)

Versioning:

• Expect every release to contain breaking changes for the foreseeable future

Security:

• No

How to use:

• Application Workflow:
  • Go to settings, set Replay Path (for replay loading). Set Iso/Playback path if you want to be able to play clips. Set recording options if you want to be able to record playlists.
  • Go to Home - this will start the replay loading process
  • Go to playlists and create playlists (you can't create them on the search page yet)
  • Go to search - here you can search for combos, watch them, and add them to playlists
  • Go to playlists - here you can order the combos, play the entire playlist, and play&record the entire playlist
• Settings:
  • Replay Path - Select the folder where your Slippi replays are stored (usually like Documents\Slippi)
  • SSBM ISO Path - Select your SSBM ISO - any ISO that works with Slippi will work (ex: Animelee, Crystal, Diet)
  • Playback Dolphin Path - Open Slippi Launcher -> Settings -> Dolphin Settings -> Playback -> Open Containing Folder -> Use that Dolphin.exe. This is a special Dolphin for playing back replays
  • Recording Path - where you want recordings to be saved
  • Preroll frames - This will start combos earlier, so "30" would start the combo 30 frames before it actually begins
  • Postroll frames - This will extend the end of the combo, so "45" would include 45 frames after the end of the combo
  • obsPassword/obsPort - OBS Websocket settings found in OBS -> Tools -> WebSockets Server Settings. BOTH must be set to use OBS recordings (see below)
  • Recording method - Dolphin framedump or OBS (see below)
• Recordings:
  • There are 2 methods to recording, each with their own pros/cons:
  • Dolphin framedump
    • PROS:
      • Recordings should always be at 60fps
      • Can control resolution by opening Playback Dolphin -> Graphics -> Enhancements (Set desired resolution), then -> Advanced (Full Resolution Frame Dumps)
    • CONS:
      • Slow, based on what you set the resolution to
      • No audio at all at the moment
  • OBS Websocket - you must install OBS, then OBS Websocket, then set the OBS password and port. You must have started OBS before you record
    • PROS:
      • Much faster
      • Has game audio (game music can be disabled by opening Playback Dolphin -> Right click your SSBM ISO -> Properties -> Gecko Codes -> Optional: Game Music OFF
    • CONS:
      • If your replay stutters, the recording will stutter
      • Will record audio from other sources on your computer

TODO (no particular order):

• Add option for gfycat uploading
• Add option for recordings of playlists to be split into different files
• More search options (search based on moves in conversion, etc)
  • AFTER/BEFORE date
• Better table display (configurable columns?)
  • after page 2 stuff starts to get cut off
  • create playlists in dropdown in table
• Game/converion stat breakdown
  • Form to select Player and get stats?
  • Show stats over time
• Analysis of playlists to predict/suggest additions
• Make the code consisent and look sane
• Webpack/PROD babel build of code
• Conversion-level preroll/postroll overrides in playlists
• Add loading icon to long operations

ISSUES:

• Need database migration system, currently have to delete DB everytime
  • Electron update!
• Load up is very slow
• First search call is slow
  • Must be an indexing thing - only happens on very first call
• React components getting out of hand
