Rule update(s): Timing for All Missions and ILs

Since the Real Time can be given but don't has to not all runners tend to use this function of LiveSplit and are just adding a time to it that it is filled.

Now for us Moderators the Real Time is actually quite important, for example

  • to see if somebody uses an HDD, they usually have loading times from 8-10 minutes.
  • if we wanna compare the loading times from a user he gets during different runs.
  • if we wanna re-time tram times.
  • if we wanna re-time the fade-in and fade-out times
  • if we wanna remove the time that gets lost to crashes or frame/ slow motion bugs. Another reason is that you could just join two runs on the loading screen together when you pause the timer.

So all runs in the future that gets submitted to any All Missions category have to display the Game Time and the Real Time, this rule does not affect ILs.

How to set up LiveSplit to display both times

  1. Open Live Split
  2. Make a right click and click on "Edit Layout"
  3. In the new window opened press "+"
  4. Select "Timer"
  5. Then select again "Timer"
  6. Double click on the new added timer
  7. Change the "Timing Method" from "Current Timing Method" to "Real Time" Here is a clip how you do it

This goes now for ALL featured Kitty (Mission) ILs Your timer has to be resetted for all ILs except M19, that means the timer has to start at 0.00 and it is no longer permitted to have these 0.0X load in times on the timer. They will delay the timer by 1s This means all ILs getting submitted like this and are #1 (might affect #2 and #3 either) depending on how optimised they are will get rejected or if they are still verifiable get +1s Since the timer acts the same way in All Missions all submissions from All Mission runs get +1s as well added to the final IL time Even the last AM point has to be done as well since in some ILs like M13 CC+FPS is nothing to pre-load what means you can theoretically archive in All Missions CC+FPS a sub 29s M13 what is with the IL timer of definitely impossible with the strat we use there currently
