An .asl file for LiveSplit. 

Enable it by adding it to your LiveSplit layout. Make sure also to select "game time" as your main timing method.

Once it is set up you can launch Descent3 and run the game. Livesplit should split at each level completion. Once the run is complete you can then close the game and see your time.

What is counted as in game time ? All the time spent in the active game engine. When you play, of course, but also in cutscenes. Not if the game is paused, not when a submenu is opened, and not in the main menu.

This means the time counted by LiveSplit should be equal to the time displayed in the debriefing of the level. Or superior, if you happened to load a save, or use a demo.

Be careful that several ways of timing have been used yet, and I'd like this one to be the official one.

Descent 3 Autosplitter

The TAS tools are in developement

To install, you need to have the game already (retail, gog, or steam version - piccuEngine won't work), and clone the repository of descent3 source code, provided at : https://github.com/DescentDevelopers/Descent3 . Follow the setup and build instructions. From there, you will need to clone this repository too : https://github.com/Isliiide/d3_tas , replace these files and make a built of the game.

The description of the tools will be in this repository in the readme.md file, and is subject to change.

The main method to produce a game TAS is to slow the game logic x4 and slow the audio x4, so speeding up the recording makes a valid run while allowing a more precise playing.
