Load Removal Time implemented

Delaware, USA

The time has come, and I definitely have too.

By the grace of whatever deity, the awesome @Mysterion_06_ has finally blessed DMC4SE with an autosplitter (with optional doorsplitter btw) and a load removal script. All of this is integrated into LiveSplit for you to peruse at your leisure.

This is a great QoL change in many ways.

  • No need to buy expensive hardware to get better times
  • Easily see where you actually lose time (no load time inconsistency + specificity with doorsplitter)
  • Pausing the game will pause the timer, so you don't have to suffer when you need to go to the bathroom (please do not abuse this and go eat dinner during your PB attempt)! Item usage is still timed though, don't worry.
  • If your hardware is not the best (shoutouts to @LonerHero ), then you can select from script refresh-rate variables that are included in the options. Please utilize this if you happen to see your timer splitting late, or stopping for incorrect amounts of time.

As a result, the leaderboard has separated into PC and Console categories, so that Console runs are not simply pushed to the bottom of the board.

Please check resources for the following:

  • Downpatch fix for LRT to work. This is a simple downpatch and will not change the run. It also allows you to use SuperTrainer v9!
  • Splits for doorsplitter. There's a lot of splits there, so we did the legwork of providing blank ones for everyone to use.

At this time, we will not be implementing LRT for ILs (Bloody Palace and Boss Rush), but it's something we can revisit in the future. Thanks for reading, and happy running!
