Question about recording individual levels on Twitch
2 years ago
Lancashire, England

Just a couple small questions, but if I recorded a whole run on Easy and wanted to break it down into individual levels, what's the easiest way to go about doing that? Is it easier to do offline (record on OBS)?

I also wanted to ask when the actual timer starts and finishes on a level?

Do you use livesplit? There is an auto splitter that runs automatically when you use it + turn it on. We would rather you did the levels individually instead of having us work out the times for each of your stages. Most people stream + use twitch's highlight option to grab your run/stages. Obs recording is the other main way on pc

We record the game using IGT anyway. So as well as the auto-splitter that Bill mentioned, just know that it really doesn't matter. Using livesplit is purely for the player's own interest; it's the in game timer that is used for this game.

Twitch Highlights work well for breaking down full-runs into individual videos. However a word of advice - 9 times out of 10 you'll find you'll get a faster run by going into Level Select and just playing the individual level on its own. Although there are the odd runs here or there that have an amazing individual level that never gets replicated on Level Select, like I say if you're wanting to try to get the best time possible on a level, level select is usually where you want to be.

Hope that helps :)

I used Auto-Splitter but for some reason it didn't actually split, it just paused the timer when not in-game. Did I set something wrong in LiveSplit?

The timer will only run when you're in a stage unpaused

I think I'm just being stupid, lol, it just makes it easier to consistently split, and I need to press numpad1

Edit: Or it only works when going into it from Level Select.

If you want to manually split, I suggest watching other runs and seeing exactly when the auto-splitter starts and ends.

Like I say, it doesn't matter though because any runs you submit here will be on your IGT anyway. But if you personally want to manually split your runs for your own benefit, just watch any other run and it will show you exactly where the splits start and end.

Also it may have something to do with you having not done a run before. I don't know a lot about Livesplit but I know it always acts funny my first run of a new character then corrects itself on my second run onwards.
