New load remover/autosplitter plugin for livesplit discussion

As of now, I worked with Szalasz, and he came up with a viable way to create an autosplitter for all cups (and possibly for other categories as well). His plugin will come with a load remover as well that works even with command line -sload. Since that would standarize the whole loading time issue, I believe that exiting the game (alt+f4 trick to skip the trophy ceremony cutscene) would mess up what we just solved, making loading times not count and thus removing the slight advantage a person with a better pc could have had. It also would introduce the issue where someone could split the run and make it effectively segmented without any possibility from us to be able to notice it. I believe this rule should be removed from the current ruleset, but I also want your opinion on this and on how we should treat old runs that make use of that trick. The current idea would be to retime all current runs (for loadless times) and add the time that got saved by the alt+f4 trick at the end.

I think that is a good idea. However do not quite understand the time addition you mention in the end?

Some runners used the option to force close the game while the ceremony is happening. With the new rule it would be disallowed, so we etiher: a) remove those runs b ) retime them and if they didn't use livesplit to submit the run we'll add the ceremony skip times to the final timer The latter option was that Vas0sky was reffering to, but if the runner submitted the runs through LiveSplit, we could add the ceremony times individually to the right splits. Also with the autosplitter that I'm working on requires every map to be a split, so the older runs with LiveSplit sumbit might not get those instantly, or not at all. And also there is going to be loadless time. This is the main reason we would like this weird rule to be removed. When I'm finished with it, I'm going to create a post about the whole thing.
