/* If you are creating a script, PCGamingWiki is a good start to find fixes for problems https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Home . Or use google if it is not Nucleus-Coop problem-related ;)  
You can ask for support in our subReddit https://www.reddit.com/r/nucleuscoop/ and also, check the FAQ post https://www.reddit.com/r/nucleuscoop/comments/fjdqid/list_of_new_supported_games_and_faq/.
There you will also find an invite link for our Discord server.*/

/*You can find most of the lines in the Mod-ReadMe.txt (inside Nucleus-Coop root folder) and in the Master_SCript.js (documentation link inside Reddit FAQ post).
Check even the released scripts (usually, the ones of games that use the same game-engine share a lot of characteristics. Example: You are scripting an Unreal Engine 4 game? Use as a base-script one that uses Unreal Engine 4).*/

/*These lines will add/show in the first Nucleus options tab.
var answers = contains the possible answers that the User can choose.
Game.AddOption("Question", "Description", "ID of the option", *here what var answers this option will show);*/

/* (Anno 1404: Venice start multiple times without problems.)
Most of the games, need a specific (or more) mutex/event/semaphore to be killed. (Not all of them. There are games that you can start multiple times without problems, so try it before do work for nothing :p)
Usually, the right one/ones have the game-name or engine-name in the name. For example, most source games use "hl2"_singleton_mutex.
To check which ones the game use, we will use Process Explorer: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/process-explorer .
Open Process Explorer (with admin rights) start the game, click the game process on the list, and press View Handles (Ctrl+H). You will see the full list of mutex/event/semaphore...
If you think to have found the right one, right-click on it and choose "Close Handle". After that, try to run a second instance of the game and see if it open.
Be careful that launchers check if the game is already running. For example, Goldberg, make the game unseen from Steam. So, if it is a Steam game, try to create a script with 
With Goldberg enabled, test if the game starts multiple times (+ the mutex/event/semaphore...etc needed to be killed).
If you find that no mutex closed helps you (or is not enough), there are other ways:
- Change the game exe name for each instance (in Nucleus-Coop = Game.ChangeExe = true;)
- Change the title of the game window. You can use https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/winexp.html for testing. (in Nucleus-Coop = Game.IdInWindowTitle = true;) 
- Start the game as a different windows user. (For testing, you need a second windows user and press shift + right-click on the exe and choose "Rus as another user". In Nucleus-Coop you can use
  Game.LaunchAsDifferentUsers = true; and if needed Game.ThirdPartyLaunch = true;)*/

//		[Game Info]

Game.NotTopMost = true; //Should Nucleus not make the game windows top most (appear above everything else)

Game.KeyboardPlayerFirst = false; //Keyboard player will be the first to be initialized

Game.Hook.XInputReroute = false; //If enabled, will allow XInput devices to act like DInput devices. This allow to use more than 4 controllers. You can use only ONE XboxOne controller and you can't use at the same time the keyboard. You must click/alt+tab on the corresponding instance to make it work. In alternative you can try fix the problem by doing this http://www.snes9x.com/phpbb3/viewtopic.php?t=27510 or try Xoutput.

/*You can find out which dlls the game is using with Process Explorer. 
Start the game, open Process Explorer, click on the game process and click on View DLLs (Ctrl+D).
Search on the list, and you will find which Xinput DLLs the game is using. A game that supports controllers but not Xinput ones (old games) use dinput8.dll or dinput.dll.*/

/* [This is used to restrict each controller to a specific instance. Disable other alternatives if you are using this one. CustomDllEnabled is enabled by default so, if you will not use it, add this line in false]
If the game should be run using our custom version of x360ce for gamepad control. Enabled by default as the majority of our games need it. */

Game.HookGetCursorPos = false;
// These options hook Windows functions that can be used by the game to detect if keys are down.

// This filters raw input messages inside the application. This makes sure each instance only receives input for its designated input device.

Game.HookUseLegacyInput = false;

Game.SendScrollWheel = false;
//In some cases, you may need to forward raw mouse input. This is almost never needed as re-register raw input has the same effect with a much more efficient method. Forwarding input forwards raw input from Nucleus Coop to the game. This has a high CPU usage and many input events will not pass, resulting in choppy movement.
Game.ForwardRawMouseInput = false;
// The same as ForwardRawMouseInput, but for keyboards. Again, this should almost never be used instead of re-register raw input.
Game.ForwardRawKeyboardInput = false;

// If the game uses a custom cursor, you will probably not need this option. (This will be obvious if you see the games custom cursor and a fake cursor drawn over it).
// Be aware this is a 'fake' mouse cursor in the sense that Nucleus Coop will fake mouse input to the game via the other options and then the fake mouse cursor is drawn where the game should be responding to mouse input.
// The fake cursor is drawn by creating a large transparent window over the game. This may prevent the game from receiving mouse input from the 'real' Windows cursor. It is sometimes useful to disable this while testing.

Game.DrawFakeMouseCursorForControllers = false;
Game.UpdateFakeMouseWithInternalInput = false;

// This is usually convenient to leave disabled whilst testing.
