Hey, I'm currently working on an autosplitter and I have a small question for you : Would you mind having to install a mod to have a better autosplitter ?

Let me explain a bit my situation. I'm not that great with Cheat Engine, but I'm pretty good at modding a game. Doing so will allow me to auto-start, auto-split and remove loading times.

Without modding, my poor skills will only allow me to auto-start, and maybe remove loading times but I'm not really sure. It would take me more time to do it as well.

What do you think of all that ? I personally prefer to have a mod, but it's up to you guys :)

PS : Having to mod the game means it would break for a few days when the game gets an update. I may bypass that but it would require extra work/time.

I don't mind it as long as it won't be an intensive thing and be difficult to remove later when it does eventually break from updates, and as long as the game plays the same. Personally I don't like the game being "modded" and then speedrunning it because that makes people question that and it not being the same game, but if it's a small thing to make the splitter easier to make, I don't have much of a issue with it.

How exactly would it work from a technical point of view?

EDIT: My curiosity has been sated. I think I'm okay with this.
