Autosplitter

Hey I made an autosplitter for the game, it's not completely finished, but here's what it's doing for now :

  • starts automatically
  • pauses when loading the start of the game
  • pauses when loading a chapter
  • pauses when menu is displayed
  • splits at the end
  • resets automatically

You can download it here : http://www.mirari.fr/X9Y0

How to install it :

  • Download the file
  • Open LiveSplit
  • Edit Layout > + > Control > Scriptable Auto Splitter
  • Double click on Scriptable Auto Splitter > Browse > The location of the asl file > OK > OK
  • Right click on LiveSplit window > Compare Against > Game Time

What needs to be improved :

  • Need to stop when loading after a death
  • Need to agree on when the timer starts exactly
  • Need to agree on when is the last split exactly

When the autosplitter is completely done, the installation will be much easier (see Edit Splits window).

Please tell me if you encounter a bug !

Good job Baruch! :)

I haven't tried it as of yet, but I have a few suggestions:

Pauses are great, but in my opinion shouldn't be included. For the sake of simplicity I'd say from now on we continue to use the "press start" as the start of the timer; you'd have to retime all existing runs otherwise. :/ I don't know if pause buffering is used by anybody in a run anywhere but if one would choose to do so, the timer shouldn't stop during the menu but continue.

It's cool that you included these functions, but overall I wouldn't consider it in an RTA run. Not sure what others think of it though.

The thing is that loading time after pressing start is different among runners

Ontario, Canada

it actually is only different if you don't do "start new game" twice. the first "Start new game" is stalled. Something in the coding that makes it slower the first time.

Bretagne, France

It is also slightly different depending on your support: Good pc, bad pc, ps4, ps3, 360...

I could imagine using the "detailed timer" for this autosplitter feature and have one for manual splits, to have a comparison. Would that be possible?
