Install [tapLua](https://github.com/EngineMachiner/tapLua).\n\n### Linux\n\n  2. Run the next commands in the game directory:\n\n  ```console\n  curl -o bitEye.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EngineMachiner/bitEye/refs/heads/master/bitEye.sh\n  ./bitEye.sh; rm bitEye.sh\n  ```\n\n---\n\nOr it can be installed manually:\n\nBe aware that to successfully install bitEye in your game build, it's important to have a basic understanding of **scripting and theme structure**.\n\n  2. Clone the repository in the modules folder.\n  3. Load it after tapLua.\n  ```lua\n    LoadModule(\"bitEye/bitEye.lua\") -- After loading tapLua...\n  ```\n\n   4. Load the actors to each screen top layer:\n   ```lua\n   bitEye.actor(\"OptionRow\") -- ScreenMiniMenuBackgroundChange overlay.lua\n   bitEye.actor(\"EditNoteField\") -- ScreenEdit overlay.lua\n   ```\n\n   5. Use the [inputs](#Inputs) to interact with it.\n\n---\n\n## Inputs\n\n- **LEFT ALT:** toggles the visibility of the preview.\n\n### OptionRow Actor\n\n- **LEFT CTRL:** toggles the visibility of the search box.\n\n- **RIGHT CTRL** key zooms in and out the preview.\n\n- The search box accepts input and performs a search based on it.\n  - You can navigate through the results using the **arrow keys**.\n\n---\n\nRemember, if you're having problems with the texture being white, not showing up \nand you're using legacy builds, you should enable only OpenGL as renderer in \nyour `Preferences.ini` due to D3D not being able to render textures in these builds.\n```\nVideoRenderers=opengl\n```\n\n---\n\n## Credits\n\n- [TeamRizu](https://github.com/TeamRizu)\n- [Inori](https://github.com/Inorizushi)\n- [leadbman](https://github.com/leadbman)\n- [Accelerator](https://github.com/RhythmLunatic)\n\nThank you to everyone who contributed to the development of this project!\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fenginemachiner%2Fbiteye","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fenginemachiner%2Fbiteye","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fenginemachiner%2Fbiteye/lists"}
