TAS-Life v0.01 file

======================================
TAS-LIFE v0.01 A speedrun Modification
======================================

How to Install
===============
Place 'taslife' folder in your Half-Life directrory, then restart steam

Features
=========

SlowMode: Slow game down

FrameMode: Frame advance on user request

Laser Pointer: While slowed or stoped, this pointer will take the guess work out of where your view will end up next frame.

Stats Menu: Important heads up info, usfull to the speed runner will be displayed in here

Whats Broken
==============
While slowing or stopping frames, any action that needs to be held will not work.
Eg: Ducking, Gauss charge, egon fire, cooking nades ect
What its doing is pressing and releasing each frame, this side effect allows bunnyhoping

Finding if the game is paused or not is done by reading a specific part of memory in hw.dll
hw.dll is loaded if running in ogl/d3d. Running in software loads sw.dll not hw.dll. This will not work correctly in software mode.
The address is hardcoded so different versions might break this. Works with the most updated steam version.

===CVars=== Check the Binds in options before setting these manually. Most, if not all are in there.

tas_slowmode 1 || 0 Enables slow mode
tas_slowframes 0 - 20 Length of time between frames (int+1) in slow mode
tas_framemode 1 || 0 Enables frame mode(Higher priority than slowmode). stops game completely.
tas_frameinc 1 || 0 If 1 and in framemode, advance to next frame
tas_pauseonload 1 || 0 Starts paused on level load (not working yet)
tas_pointer 1 || 0 Pointer that will show you where you will be looking next frame.Will only show on paused frames!!! This is to avoid being shown in the demo
