LiveSplit Configuration

Greetings :)

Quick Question (I didn't found anything about that :/ ): What/How is the "best" way to configure LiveSplit? I had no problem with Setting Hotkeys and using them (although I don't understand them exactly atm xD), but thats it. I tried it by doing a "Game Dev" Speedrun, but don't know if it works correctly. Are there any Tutorials or stuff like that?

Right Click > Edit Layout to edit stuffs relative to graphical rendering Right Click > Settings Right Click > Edit Splits to edit splits There is no "best" way to configure LiveSplit, just different games, differents layouts, different way to display your timer. Global Hotkeys are used to key-bind the controls of LiveSplit. The most useful keybind is obviously "Start/Split" that allows you to start your LiveSplitâ„¢. The second most useful keybind is the most horrific one, the Reset (aka "RIP run :'(") Then, there are two key-binds that I personaly find very handy: "Undo Split" & "Skip Split" that allows you to go back to a split (in case you missplitted) and to skip a split (in case you forgot to split). Switching Comparison is useful in case you want to compare in case you want to display a lot of comparisons. Global Hotkeys is something that allows you to use hotkeys even when you have no focus on the window (well not really sure).

Thanks a lot :) This answers most of my questions.

By now, I also found a page which has downloadable Splits for different Games, so I figured the rest out.

I need to move myself over to using live splits or at least try it in comparison to WSplit. But most times configuration comes down to personal feel and how you want to lay it out. I've seen more commonly; that splits are either Vertically for more precise and showing information on individual splits, and Horizontally for Runs that tend to have less focus on individual splits but more on the overall times for the run. Do it how its best visible for you and use hotkeys you are comfortable with and do not use normally for other things, I suggest maybe the right side keypad area as and ideal hotkey placement. <3

Since this is active now...what is everyone's problem with "necroposting"? Especially with posts that are still perfectly relevent today?

Because either the topic has already finished its discussion or the questions asked were already answered. Making an unnecessary post on a dead thread is simply just spam, as it no longer serves any purpose.

I see no rules against posting simply because of a post's date, and it would be simple enough to auto-close threads after X number of days if such a thing is desired, so I still think such post shaming is uncalled for.

It's a hangover from when forums eclipsed any other form of communication. For a board this relatively inactive there is really no need for anyone get upset about bumping old posts.

This bump was a bit daft however, but in general it's not going to cause harm. But back when forums in general pulled in thousands of posts a day, rules like that were needed to keep things smooth.
