Adventure Mode auto-splitter - can anyone help me test it?
8 years ago

Hiya,

I've created an auto-splitter for Peggle Deluxe Adventure Mode, which I've made available at https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Sophira/LiveSplit-AutoSplitters/master/Peggle%20Deluxe%20-%20Adventure%20Mode.asl . (Right-click that link and save to a file to download.) I've used it in a verified run (2:41:20 - http://www.speedrun.com/run/nz1pde7z ), and now I'm looking to make sure it works for everybody on their systems before uploading it to the Resources section and requesting for it to be included in LiveSplit itself.

I've tested it only with the Steam version of Peggle Deluxe, but it should probably be suitable for the non-Steam version as well. It doesn't work with Peggle Nights or Peggle World of Warcraft Edition. (It ¤does¤ seem to work with the free Peggle Extreme, but that's not by design; just a happy coincidence.)

Would anybody be willing to download and test the auto-splitter for me? You can use it after downloading by editing your layout to include the "Scriptable Auto Splitter", in the "Control" submenu. (It doesn't show up visually at all, so it won't mess up your existing layout.) Then, in the layout settings, in the "Scriptable Auto Splitter" tab, click "Browse..." and find the auto-splitter itself that you downloaded.

The corresponding blank splits file can be found at https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Sophira/LiveSplit-AutoSplitters/master/Peggle%20Deluxe%20-%20Adventure%20Mode.lss . (Again, right-click and save to file.)

The timer will start once the first story screen ("A Brief Introduction to Peggle") is displayed. This only displays the first time you start Adventure Mode after creating a new user, so you must create a new user in order to begin a run.

Splits occur when the next level is displayed, or (in the case of the starting level in each set of levels: 1-1, 2-1, 3-1, etc), when the corresponding story screen for that level set (introducing that level set's Peggle Master) is displayed. Note that this means that any time spent at the end of a level is included in that level's time, even score counting.

Timing ends when the ending screen ("The Peggle Institute Certificate of Excellence") is displayed.

Thanks to anybody who is willing to help me test this!

I tried it, but unfortunately I don't think it works on the EA Origin version of the game.

Thanks for the report! I've updated the code and it should work now. (I got Peggle free once on Origin's "On The House" system but never normally use Origin, so I hadn't noticed.) Could you download it again and give it another try?

Hi Sophira! I tested the script both before and after my reboot, and unfortunately I still have no luck. Tomorrow I am going to try the script on the family computer (Running Windows 8 ) just to see it work! And I will also try it on my laptop (Running Windows 10) to see if it yields any different results! Also, thanks for stopping by the stream, I do appreciate the company lol Kappa.

I just found this game and looking into speedrunning it. i use the non steam version and the auto splitter did not work for me. I am using windows 10 so if that might be a part of it could someone tell me? Also do i have to do something to connect livesplit to the game for it to work?

EDIT: I got the steam version and the autosplitter still did not work. I want to know what @NuMetalz results were with windows 8 because it could be different on windows 8 then windows 10 which is what i have.
