Recoil Output Information provided by Hexxed


As you all know, Andy Sinden has included external recoil support in the latest Sinden release. That means that Sindens are now capable of having the emulator and/or game control the speed and timing of the recoil if you happen to own a Sinden Recoil lightgun. While this allows the recoil to better match the game, this is also dependent on whether the game/emulator supports that functionality.

Thankfully, Argon (Demulshooter dev) provided some sample Mame Model 2 lua scripts so others could start creating their own lua scripts and share with the community.

Hook of the Reaper by 6Bolt (https://github.com/6Bolt/Hook-Of-The-Reaper) is a middleman app that now works with the latest Sinden update however the Mame lua scripts it uses seem to be hard for everyone to find. Here are the ones I've found and have permission to repost. I'm posting them here for everyone to use for their own systems. I haven't written them, tested them or set up HOTR (Hook of the Reaper) to work with them as my Sindens have custom recoil/rumble and won't work with it natively.

They have all been based on the Mame Model 2 sample files originally provided by Argon (Demulshooter dev). The included files are by Argon and FatherOfDucksAndMonkees plus updates to Area51 and Carnevil thanks to DiablosMatrix.

These lua scripts aren't solely for HOTR so, if you have other lightguns and are already using something like MameHooker or QMameHook, then chances are they should also work with your setup with some minor tweaking.

There is a readme file in 2 of the archives so if you have questions, make sure to read them. If you have questions about how to setup HOTR, here is the main tutorial page. It also contains a section on setting up Sindens with the app. https://hotr.6bolt.com/pmwiki.php/Tutorial/Tutorial

Have fun people and feel free to post any updates or additions to this list so others can benefit from your findings. This is all pretty new to everyone so support is minimal. Happy shooting!
