As you can see in the splitter code, this autosplitter only checks if the game is in the menu or not. So there is no way for the livesplit to start the timer when granny starts moving on first input. I might be able to find the values using Cheat engine and make a better splitter.
Im starting to think the dev stopped working on the game.
Edit: Wow the game is out on steam since 27 May, 2019 have to get me some new runs soon.
@HiddenProject Im using Windows with diffrent Dosbox builds, i did rip my orginal cd for so i got the nice music and all but the dos version just seems bad.
i bought the original MS-DOS game still in the plastic. But its runs so bad. I want to run the game.
Why is there 2 leaderboards for this game? Snes and genesis? and no LB for DOS?
Damn i thought i was similar to the console version.
There is a config file for Dosbox that is a text file. You can open it with a text editor and change cycles=max . https://www.dosbox.com/wiki/Dosbox.conf#cputype_.3D_auto_.7C_386_.7C_386_slow_.7C_486_slow_.7C_pentium_slow_.7C_386_prefetch

"Add "split name auto incrementer" to your layout somewhere (after putting the .dll file in your /livesplit/components folder), then add "[0]" or "(0)" to any split that you want it to increment on in the "edit splits" menu, and it will automatically increment on every run that splits there.Note that it keeps track of this number across different sessions, so if you want it to only keep track of how many times you got past that split on a single day you have to reset the number by hand every day."
The shareware version includes the first episode and its very easy to find online.
3drealms (Apogee) still sells the registered version of this game & you can buy it on Steam or GOG. https://3drealms.com/catalog/realms-chaos_9/ Steam https://store.steampowered.com/app/358320/Realms_of_Chaos/ GOG https://www.gog.com/game/realms_of_chaos?pp=215bb47da8fac3342b858ac3db09b033c6c46e0b
reset { return current.win == 0 && current.win != old.win; }
I added this line of code to get the splitter to reset when we fail a run and go back to the dad selection Gonna do some digging in Cheat Engine and see if i can the value for pressing the "lather up" button. Cheers.
Great video pandora. It might be hard to detect cheating if people use macros on a controller, because you can still have the keyboard display. Glitches that require two buttons have to use 2 buttons of of course and use something like gamepadviewer.com to show gamepad input visually.
I got a pinched nerve in my shoulder on my right arm that causes pain and discomfort playing with the arrow keys. I do use a controller on many DOS games just because many of them got a simple controller scheme like Arrow keys + jump and action key. That work very well with my D-pad on my playstation 3 controller. I even use livesplit commands the L + R buttons.
Practice makes perfect. So i better start playing and learn learn those meta strats.
If you make an free account on 3drealms.com you can download the game with a nice installer and everything configured in Dosbox.
