Fit Check (plugin)

Pull request 326's Fit Check as a sandboxed Luau plugin. Press V on the Board screen to spin the board, or on the Skaters screen or any of its grids (tops, shoes, hats, outfits, emotes) to spin the skater. It turns once by itself, hands off, and is saved as a GIF, APNG or WebM, cut out from the backdrop, with an info card beside it: the deck, grip, trucks and wheels, or the outfit, by name, the item highlighted in the open grid in place of the one worn. V again stops it.

With Spin off it is not turned: it records the Length setting's seconds of it as it stands. An emote is always recorded like that.

How it works:

• It holds a stand-in pad's stick over with reskate.room.turn, as a player turns the board on the stick, so it works on mouse and keyboard too.
• reskate.capture captures every frame the game draws, before ReSkate's overlay, and cuts each out by the game's depth (or by colour when there is no depth).
• The warm-up while the stick brings it up to speed is a capture of its own, and the real one starts straight after it. ReSkate only copies the game's depth while frames are wanted, so skipping the warm-up frames left the first frame without depth, and the whole recording was cut out by colour.
• The first frame of each capture is never used: it can be the last frame of the one before (the snap at the start).
• In a grid, the area ends above the grid's button prompts.
• Once the turn has come round, the frames nearest evenly spaced moments of that one turn are saved, by when each was taken, never one twice. When the game drew fewer frames than wanted, all of them are saved and it plays a little quicker; when far fewer, at a lower rate (for a GIF one of 50, 25, 20 or 10 a second, which it plays evenly).
• While it turns, the game's screen-space contact shadows, bloom, lens flare and dirt, film grain, chromatic aberration and motion blur are switched off with reskate.settings.set. For a skater, screen-space reflections and ambient occlusion are switched off too. All of them are put back afterwards.

The files are saved in the plugin's data folder, Mods/.reskate_plugin_data/fit-check/fit-checks/, as <deck name>-<time>.<gif|png|webm>. OPEN FIT CHECKS FOLDER on its page opens that folder.

Files:

• plugin/turn.lua: the rules, with the game passed in. They cover:
  • the screen areas;
  • when a turn has come round;
  • easing the stick off when it turns too fast for the frames wanted, and speeding it up again when it stops;
  • which frames make the animation;
  • the card, which shows the item highlighted in the open grid in place of the one worn;
  • the file's name;
  • the settings switched off.
• plugin/tests.lua: checks of those rules, run by fitcheck test.
• plugin/main.lua: the wiring to reskate, which covers:
  • the V key;
  • the banner while it records;
  • the console command;
  • its page in the menu's PLUGINS section.
