The tutorials need no save and are ~1 min from a cold boot, so they are the cheapest route into a live flight scene. The HUD prints the equipped weapons as NOSE BM 06000 / MAIN MPM 00300 — matching wep_01's LoadingCount 6000 and wep_02's 300, with the weapons identified from the HANGAR loadout rather than from the ammo number. That makes it a genuinely independent confirmation of Ammo Capacity == LoadingCount, from a different renderer in a different mode. Also inventories the HUD elements (heat gauges, shield/armor pools, target armor gauge, per-weapon RANGE markers) and notes that the RANGE gauge draws each weapon's MaximumRange on a scale — a route to a real number where the Arsenal panel only gives a letter class. Adds autopilot.py (waypoint-arrow chaser). It detects reliably but oscillates; recorded as such rather than as a working tool. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Runtime-capture harness (sylph-re container)
Screenshot-driven scripts for reading the running retail game's menus under Xenia
Canary + lavapipe, headless. They assume the container helpers screenshot,
vgamepad, pad are on $PATH and HOME=/sylph-home/re.
| Script | What it does |
|---|---|
skip_intro.sh |
Boot → main menu, unattended. Taps A only while the intro movie is actually playing (frame-to-frame RMSE), then once at the PRESS Ⓐ BUTTON title. Static logo screens are left alone, so a stray tap can never land on NEW GAME. |
wait_title.sh |
Older variant: wait for the title (green Ⓐ glyph at px 625,618) and tap A. Superseded by skip_intro.sh. |
step.sh |
One Arsenal navigation step (down/up/next/prev/none) + a compact capture: weapon list stacked over the DATA SHEET. |
sweep.sh |
Walk a whole weapon-type list, capturing only rows that show a DATA SHEET — locked rows (a "Conditions to Develop" panel) are detected by the brightness of the Range Class label box and skipped. |
type.sh |
Change weapon-type tab N times (RB) and report the header strip. |
hp.sh / cyc.sh |
Hangar hard-point carousel: cyc.sh steps it (d-pad down, not left/right) and captures the Name + DATA SHEET. |
Input timing under lavapipe: the game polls input at its own low frame rate, so a 60 ms d-pad tap is dropped roughly half the time. 200 ms is reliable; 300 ms starts to auto-repeat (two rows per press).
