# **1. Information**

**Why another change?**

- To provide even more fairness and accuracy as the times get closer and closer

****

**When would only YRT (Real time) be used?**

- If LiveSplit timer is not visible on the screen
- If framerate of the video is not consistent enough for accurate reading
- If load removed time (**ALT**) equals or is below 0

****

**Accounted for, are**:

- Autosplitter loads
- Autosplitter starting too early or splitting too late
- Missing starting fade-out, 300ms penalty

****

# 2. Links

- Tool used to calculate time between frames on YouTube: [GitHub Link](https://slashinfty.github.io/yt-frame-timer/)
- Example run used for this demonstration: [YouTube Link](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBxdVwUxeMM)
- Make sure you select correct frames in the frame tool as per the YouTube video

****

# 3. Method

**Test YouTube Time (TYT) [YouTube frames]**

- From first visible gameplay frame, first frame when the time is not zero [5.166666666666667]
- First frame that shows "End of" result screen, if LiveSplit timer stops too soon then use frame of the timer stopping instead [144.38333333333333]
- Calculate with "Compute time" button

Time result is: **02:19.217**

****

**Test LiveSplit Time (TLT) [LiveSplit timer]**

- From first visible gameplay frame, first frame when the time is not zero [00:00.001]
- First frame that shows "End of" result screen, if LiveSplit timer stops too soon then use frame of the timer stopping instead [02:19.114]
- Calculate with subtracting one from another

Time result is: **02:19.113**

****

**Autosplitter Load Time (ALT) [Manual]**

- Calculate with equation: **TYT** - **TLT**

Time result is: **00:00.104**

****

**YouTube Run Time (YRT) [YouTube frames]**

- First visible gameplay frame [5.15]
- First frame when End of Chapter 1 appears [144.45]
- Calculate with "Compute time" button

Time result is: **02:19.300**

****

**Lost Load Time (LLT) [YouTube frames]**

- This is to account Autosplitter splitting too early and final load time not being counted
- This is only to be calculated if Autosplitter AUTOMATICALLY splits before the credits screen appears
- First frame when LiveSplit timer stops [144.38333333333333]
- First frame when End of Chapter 1 appears [144.45]

Time result is: **00:00.067**

****

**! Fade Bug Penalty (FBP) [YouTube frames]**

- Sometimes when starting the fade can stop abruptly and teleport you forward
- In the game code that fade takes 300ms
- The penalty is 300ms minus the time from first visible gameplay frame to the teleportation frame
- For example in [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xwShxHkf3A) video the penalty would be 300ms - 1 frame, at 60fps that's ~16.6
- So the final penalty for that run is 283 and it's added

****

**Final Run Time (FRT) [Manual]**

- Calculate with equation: **YRT** - **ALT** - **LLT** + **FBP**

Time result is: **02:19.129**
