It no longer splits at all now or it no longer splits at the time it used to? Nothing changed for the split code-wise so Capcom must have made a change to the game there with how the inventory works, oddly.

Someone found it already but it's a neat strat :) http://www.speedrun.com/re7/thread/nmdsi

@XTerminator just because the autosplitter time pauses doesn't mean the actual game time isn't rolling. I've explained before that the IGT begins rolling a few seconds "early" even when the game is "telling" LiveSplit that the game is paused and should not run the LiveSplit IGT. So no, you're probably not just "deleting time". That's why I made the thread to actually time your retries correctly.

Because people were timing retries incorrectly based on the fact the LiveSplit timer is paused... and that's an improper method of timing.

Yes, for some there are. I will also reject runs with game audio muted in older RE games for example, as well. Because then it makes splicing together runs that much easier (think the door load animations). It's not as much a worry with 7 since you don't have the door loads. But I want to be able to hear the game audio just in case. I'm fine with music playing over a stream, but if I can't hear the game I'm probably going to walk away and let another mod decide. If your submission is muted in any segment due to copyright, or the game audio is completely inaudible for any other reason, then I'll just reject. Part of it is habit from the older RE game verification process, but I still think it's important personally.

Yes, please. I don't care who the runner is, if your VOD has any portion removed due to copyright because you're blasting music, I'm rejecting it. Game audio is important for a RE game in the verification process (not so much with 7, but still, please stop blasting the music)

It was not Carci. I will be having a discussion with the mod that rejected it for being too long, however the run still should have been rejected due to the game audio not being present.

The run shouldn't have been rejected for being a "guide", but it should have been rejected due to audio issues. I'm not sure what mod you're referring to, but I doubt it's a personal vendetta. They should be reminded that times, regardless if they're slow or not, should not matter when it comes to submissions if it's within our guidelines. Your example isn't, but if you submit a run again within that time period that follows the rest of the games rules, I will personally make sure your run is verified :)

No worries, I'm happy to help. Also make sure you do things in order of your splits or it'll appear autosplits will trigger incorrectly.

For example, the dog heads. If I get the white one before the blue one, but my splits have the blue one first, it'll trigger the split for the blue head when I pick up the white one. So following your split order is important. Also make sure you're comparing against game time in Livesplit so that the timer pauses on loads and when you have the game paused.

Have fun :)

First, you probably don't want to check all of them. There's things that aren't applicable in certain categories.

Second, now you just need to make your splits themselves. Right click again and click "Edit Splits" and insert them. Name them whatever you want, just make sure they correspond with a split you have checked. It doesn't populate or force split names.

For example, if I have the Reached the Guest House split checkmarked in settings, I added a split called "Guest House". If you have the guest house split checked in settings, the script goes "okay, you're now in the guest house for the first time, so I should split". It doesn't care what split you're on, it just knows "I need to split now as my conditions have been met". So since that's my first enabled split (chronologically speaking) my first split should correlate to that, so I named it Guest House. Though again, you can name it whatever you'd like, such as "Reached spooky demo house"; livesplit doesn't care, it just knows the conditions have been met to trigger a checkmarked split, and so it does.

Hope that makes sense.

The splitter broke with a Steam update tonight.

I'm proud to announce version 4.0.0 is now released that supports this latest update. It was also suggested that I add a donation button to the github project page (you can visit it by clicking the "website" button when editing your splits). Donations aren't necessary at all, but it's definitely appreciated in keeping up with these updates. At the end of the day, I just want people to enjoy the splitter.

Let me know if you run into any issues :)

That would do it. Anyway, make sure you have the latest version and your herb using won't trigger that split anymore :)

I'm still not convinced the mia drop animation skip actually saves time with the timer starting early. I guess I've never timed how long that animation takes though to know for certain, but it seems silly to me.

Game time, same as with PC..

Okay, I think I know what caused it (chainsaw duel) to split early. I'm going to venture to guess you probably healed, or used the last of a disposable item (like ammo or something). Something that would cause the inventory to "shift" data-wise. I had a similar problem with a few other splits, and I applied the same fix to the chainsaw split.

Regarding evie, I'll take a look at the map name when I get home.

Newest version is 3.0.2

I'll double check the code for Jack and Evie, but it should split midway through the animation for cutting the door open. I've never had that one "misfire" except a few times when death accidentally triggered it (which I patched). What version of the autosplitter are you guys using (edit splits and let me know version number). There used to be a couple of bugs related to that split, potentially you're using an old version. Otherwise, I don't know. The script checks to see if the chainsaw vanishes from your inventory (and you didn't die as a result) and triggers a split if so. Very odd if it's spliting early and you're on 3.0.1.

As far as injecting evie goes... Every time I've tested it it's split correctly. It's very hard to say why it misfires. I guess I can do a run to figure out the map name where you inject her and add that as another condition.. At this point, if you're using 3.0.1 and these splits are firing on retries (Evie) or incorrectly then I'm going to have to blame it on the game temporarily nulling your inventory at odd moments, which would cause the split to trigger. Which just comes down to it being a game problem and nothing I can really predict. I'll take a look when I get home though.

Hi Syncoope! Thanks for noticing that. I knew I forgot adding checking against if the player died in one of the splits; now I remember which one!

This has been fixed. (Latest version is now 3.0.1)

I'd be more down with making this version of teh game a sub-category rather than making people go through the hassle, to be honest. Especially one that's sketchy (VPN's etc) and can jeopardize accounts. If it's not easily and readily available to the masses, it shouldn't be allowed in the main categories. We're not talking about importing a game from Japan or even flea market or eBay hunting for a specific region of the game.

Correct, and I have rejected the run for this reason.

Just a heads up that I'm expecting the autospliter to likely break between now and the banned footage DLC. Or not. We'll find out. Don't panic if it does though, I'll be on a patch as soon as I'm aware of any breakage.

I guess the Amazon sales page and Metacritic are wrong, too.

Biohazard is the subtitle. And Resident Evil is the subtitle in Japan. Ask Capcom yourself.
