[Outdated] Autosplitter v2 and refined rules
6 years ago
France

Yo stoned drivers, it’s your moderator RastaBobby.

4 months ago we switched to Real Time without Loads as the default timing method on all Trackmania² games thanks to an autosplitter and load remover created by my friend Nekz; But some bugs were found during All Flags speedruns while we were using the old autosplitter. In addition, due to a recent Maniaplanet 4 update, the autosplitter v1 stopped working.

Nekz and I have worked hard during the past weeks to create a bugless second autosplitter and load remover. This autosplitter v2 brings 4 major updates to the old one:

The way of functioning of the autosplitter has been completely revamped: in the autosplitter v1, we had to list the checkpoints count of each track. By reading the game code, the autosplitter would split on the last checkpoint of the map (the finish line). We had some splitting issues with this method. The new method we introduce in the autosplitter v2 is slightly different: Nekz found a value in the game code that indicates if a track is not played (value=0), is played (value=1) or is finished (value=2). The autosplitter automatically detects the change between the value 1 and the value 2 to split exactly when the track is finished (when you cross the finish line). This new method should kill splitting bugs. If you encounter any splitting bugs, please report them to me on Discord (RastaBobby#2025).

The autosplitter now works not only on Nadeo official solo campaigns but also on usermade solo campaigns thanks to the following option in the autosplitter settings interface in Livesplit: “Auto split detection for unofficial maps”. This way you could have fun speedrunning MrDVD’s solo campaigns or Spam’s upcoming solo campaign :D If some of these usermade solo campaigns encounter a lot of success, we might add these as official categories on speedrun.com.

We are proud to introduce splits landmarks: you can now choose on which tracks you'd like to split during the speedrun.. This feature allows you to split on every track for a short speedrun or every 2, 3, 5 or 15 tracks for example on a long speedrun like on All Flags speedrun.

The autosplitter continues to work properly after a game crash: all you’ll have to do is to exit the game (use Alt-F4 or Ctrl-Alt-Delete if needed), to restart it and to relaunch the last track you were playing before the crash happened.

The speedrunning rules for Trackmania² games have also been clarified. Nekz and I truly hope this new update will bring more players to speedrun Trackmania games and that it will lead to the creation of a Trackmania speedrun community.

Bye bye !
