GUI pulled up with a hotkey (probably P or something you wont accidentally press).

Speedhack
Slows the game down/speeds the game up by a specified amount, Toggled with a keybind.

Frame Advance
Click a keybind to pause the game, and then 2 other keys to go back one frame or forwards one frame, and the user can change inputs in that frame. Inputs are toggled instead of on press.

Inputs
Toggle that shows the user's inputs in the corner of the screen. Also helps to keep track of frame advance inputs.

Object Tracker
Shows the amount of enemies, items, and hazards on the map. Also option to turn on ESP for all items or individual items, all or individual enemies, all or individual hazards, locked doors, exits/entrances, mechanical doors, and open/closed vents.

RNG Manipulator
(Within what's technically possible) Let the user set odds for each individual scrap item, how many spawn, but don't allow the user to do the impossible, like having 700 gold bars on Titan or a pickle jar with 800 credits, unless toggled. Also have options for the value and weight of items.

Object Manipulator
Allow the user to change the location of an enemy or piece of scrap to a more optimal location.

Savepoints
Saves all the info of a specific frame in the TAS, the user can name this moment and go back to it at any time, even after closing the game and coming back the next day.

Macros
Macros for hard to replicate movements even with speedhack

Playback
Play, pause, or rewind a recording

Cheat Stuff
Item spawner, brings up a GUI with a search bar and every item available to you to spawn, even modded.
Enemy spawner
Weather changer
Fullbright, removes darkness.
Despawner, no more enemies can spawn.
Inf charge, stamina, etc.
Physics tweaker (speed, jump height, grab distance, etc.)
Place deco anywhere
Hidden value editor (Insanity, spawnrates, etc.)

Any other features would be cool too 👍

There's a reason mods like this shouldn't exist...

I think rng and object manip don't need to be part of a TAS mod but yeah I don't see why this shouldn't exist

#

atleast until better network validation gets added into the game

strange osprey
#

That's why

#

You basically are asking for a full blown cheat engine, not a TAS tool

hearty hazel
#

I was thinking that changing the game speed client side would desync anyway so it wouldn't really work on other's lobbies.

I'd glossed over the cheat stuff section, but given my assumption and the removal of cheat stuff, rng, and object manip, it should be fine?

#

Of course this rests on my assumption being true, which like you pointed out, might not stand.

#

But yeah network validation would really be helpful

strange osprey
#

the game speed isnt really what i was talking about but you get the point anyways

#

a lot of the things OP is asking for work client-side and mods exist for them already

#

i just dont want this to turn into another cheat mod menu like the rest of them, theres enough already 😭

#

but TAS tools would be useful, and the mod would be fine if it had network validation like you said

@strange osprey @hearty hazel

a mod like this would def be singleplayer only, so desync concerns don't really matter. RNG manipulation and object manipulation would allow for better runs, because you can optimize what object spawns where and prevent enemies from stopping you.

Most stuff in the cheat section is just there to make it some things easier or make something physically impossible be possible, but I see where you're coming from.

hearty hazel
#

I understand you'd want this to be single player only, but it'd be easy for others to just take the code and remove that restriction, which is why the others were concerned

#

The cheat section stuff can mostly (if not all) be done by other existing mods, either by letting you adjust the config or spawn stuff in

strange osprey
#

i think its also funny you called the idea TAS (tool assisted superplay?) even though thats not what TAS means

#

if this was truly for speedrunning then why all the over-the-top cheats? like spawning in items, placing deco anywhere, physics tweaker, despawner, enemy spawner, etc

#

i understand most of the things above

#

but not the cheats section

#

theres plenty of cheats/mod menus out there
