How to set up Splits for Refunct (any category)

Hello! In this quick guide, I will explain how to activate the autosplitter for Refunct and what exactly is needed to get it to work. Please be reminded however that you __do not need splits__ to submit a run!
Links to everything mentioned here are at the bottom. You can use the content menu to navigate directly to them.

[section=What you'll Need]
Before we start, we need to make sure you've got everything that's needed for setting up the splits for your runs!

* The most popular and easy-to-use program around is LiveSplit[big]¹[/big] and it is currently the only one that supports our autosplitter.
* Once you've downloaded the program you will next need some splits. You can find them in our 'Resources' tab on the left[big]²[/big].
Note: [small]The NGG splits are not enumerated correctly in the order of buttons, but instead merely count up. This has no deeper meaning other than the different routes taken in the various NGG categories.[/small]

* You don't need a specific layout in LiveSplit for this to work, but you're free to add one.
* Open LiveSplit, right-click the window that opens and click 'Open Splits' and choose 'From File...' to open the splits you downloaded.

[section=The Splits and the Autosplitter]
Now that you've got all the necessary files needed for your splitter, you're almost ready to start your timed runs! You can edit the names of your splits to your liking, it won't change anything.
**It is important that you have __31 splits for normal__ runs and __33 splits for NGG__ runs, though!**

* Next thing is setting the correct category you choose to run. For that, simply click 'Edit Splits...' and change the 'Run Category' field.
* In the same menu, you will notice an option to activate 'Auto Splitting and Auto Start/Reset' by BatedUrGonnaDie. This is what lets you activate the autosplitter (if there is ever a new update, the new versions will be updated on GitHub first[big]³[/big]).
* After pressing 'Activate,' your splits are all good to go. Start the game, try some runs, get good times!

Note: [small]I personally suggest turning off global hotkeys. The splits restart on their own until you finish a run. If a run is finished, you need to reset your splits manually. All golds get saved automatically.[/small]

[section=Links and Suggestions]
Unless you have a second monitor, you cannot play the game in fullscreen mode and see your timer at the same time.
I suggest playing either in windowed or fullscreen windowed mode. In fullscreen windowed, your cursor will overlap with LiveSplit as you move the camera around, but this is not an issue unless you perform a click.

If you want to show LiveSplit on your stream or video, I suggest the program OBS to record.
Once you have made the background of your splits a very prominent color (sort of like a green screen) you can then chroma key the window with OBS and add it into the recording. This will give you a very neat-looking overlay.

Why your splits/sum of best is inaccurate

have you ever been on a run where you saved 0.3 on one button and then lost it all on the next button? have you ever been confused about your sum of best being way better than your PB? don't worry, you are not the only one!

This has something to so with how the autosplitter works. it splits the tick you step on a button (unless it lags), this means you can save time on the current split if you hit the button as early as possible but you will lose time on the next button. you generally wont lose any time overall (depending on the circumstance) but this is where sum of best comes in

if you're new to speedrunning, a sum of best is an abbreviation of the sum of best segments. this takes all your best segment times and adds them to create a 'best possible time'. in Refunct however, the sum of best is basically pointless. if you hit a button really early and get a best segment, that will be added to your sum of best . in another run if you hit the same button really late, you have less distance to travel to the next button so you can gold it again. let me give you an example.

(numbers are just reference) Let's say you hit button 1 from the start and it takes 5 seconds to hit it as early as possible, then this is recorded as your best segment. then it might take another 5 seconds to hit button 2 which you dont gold. you reset and then hit button 1 on the side that button 2 is taking it 5.3 seconds to get to the button losing 0.3 to you sum of best but you then gold the next button by 0.3 because it will take you 4.7 seconds to get there.

Hopefully this clears up some confusion

heres a very rough guide on what time you can expect to get based on your PB

>2:47.00 (3-4 seconds within your sum of best)
2:54.XX to sub 2:47.00 (5-6 seconds within your sum of best)
low 3:XX.XX to 2:54.XX (7 seconds within your sum of best

Yusama Dive Hotkey input file for Low% normal

Doing this will give you a hotkey that jumps and slides on the same frame, which is what's needed for Yusama dive.

Follow this file path: 
appdata-local-refunct-saved-config-windowsnoeditor

Replace what's in the input.ini file with these lines below(the hotkey is set default as 'E' but you can change that by replacing the 2 instances of 'E' to another key):

[/Script/Engine.InputSettings]
ActionMappings=(ActionName="Crouch",Key=LeftShift,bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False)
ActionMappings=(ActionName="Crouch",Key=E,bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False)
ActionMappings=(ActionName="Crouch",Key=Gamepad_LeftShoulder,bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False)
ActionMappings=(ActionName="Jump",Key=SpaceBar,bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False)
ActionMappings=(ActionName="Jump",Key=E,bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False)
ActionMappings=(ActionName="Jump",Key=Gamepad_RightShoulder,bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False)
ActionMappings=(ActionName="Menu",Key=Escape,bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False)
ActionMappings=(ActionName="Menu",Key=Gamepad_Special_Right,bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False)
