Hey guys, I'm learning how to make a load remover so that the timer of Livesplit pauses during a loading screen and runs after the loading screen, both automatically. Maybe some of you know the procedure of finding the right address and the right pointer for it with the help of Cheat Engine. Anyway, I've tested it with CSGO as it was the most comfortable game for doing that. Could you do me a favour? I've found a promising pointer which works for the Weapons Course loading screen. Now I would like to know whether it works for you, too. Basically verifying my work. Just copy-paste this code in a text editor...

state("csgo") { byte load : "materialsystem.dll", 0x000FC044, 0x1E4, 0x20, 0x10, 0x94, 0xC; }

isLoading { return current.load == 1; }

...and save it as .asl file. In Livesplit, change your timer to "Game Time" under "Edit Layout". Also in this Layout Editor, click on "+", go for "Control" and select "Scriptable Auto Splitter". Double click on that and browse for the .asl file you created and confirm with "Ok".

Now, you can open CSGO and start the timer in the menu. It should run and when you select Weapons Course, the timer should pause in this loading screen. After the loading screen, it should run again.

Please note that the pointer doesn't work for all loading screens. I've just tested it with the Weapons Course loading screen. All I need to know is whether your timer with my .asl file also works properly.

Thank you for your help :)

Hey guys,

you know the strat for Tutorial you can shorten the reload animation by using melee when the ammo number updates. This works for Soldier. Did anyone find out if this strat also works for other heroes as you reload quicker than usual?

Hey mods, so it's been more than a month since I submit Any% and 100%. Here a friendly reminder that someone shall watch my runs and decide to verify or decline them soon :)

Hey guys, I'm planning to do a twitch livestream on the 5th of August, at 12 noon (UTC) beating my own WR on 100 %. Maybe, you wanna be my viewers as the loading times are long, so I can chat with you (and of course you enjoy my gameplay).

See you :)

Hello speedrunner, nice to meet you here :) You want to speedrun this game? No problem, just read this thread and the rules first, submit your video and if everything is correct/not suspicious, I'll verify it.

Q: Are glitches allowed? A: Yes, but the rules of each category still have to be followed.

Q: What's actually a "glitch"? A: A glitch is the exploiting of an error made by the developers using the normal in-game features. There are many different types of glitches. The most famous glitch for me is called "Out of Map" (OOM). For example:

Q: Why are emulators banned? A: Emulator option is now (4th November 2018) available as I can't see unfair advantages compared to normal PS2 version.

Q: Any rules for the video itself? A: Yes, upload your video on YouTube and/or on Twitch. For YouTube, make sure that your video is public or listed. For Twitch, your stream shall be saved as a highlight, not as a previous broadcast because it disappears after 14 days. I'll inform you if your video isn't available anymore for any reasons in order to fix it. Otherwise, I'll delete your run to keep the fairness (run always with a video). And the timer shall be clearly visible and readable.

Q: Any behaviour rules? A: Of course! Respect each other, no swear words, no spam. We can solve everything with nice and friendly words.

Q: Why no discord? A: Maybe when we grow up but for now the forum is enough. Just open a thread when you have a question or sth.

Q: I want to be a moderator, too. Any requirements? A: Yes. 1) Submit a full-game run. 2) Ask me. However, I stay as the only moderator here for now.

Q: Something about you? A: Well, my name is Proenke, I come from Germany and I'm a speedrunner since March 2017. I have a YouTube, Twitter and Twitch account. I'm a huge fan of racing and shooter games.

Have fun and enjoy it here :)

Hey guys,

I have got an e-mail by twitch today that highlights from previous livestreams (26th of February - 8th of March) are deleted. You, too?

Anyway, my highlight of "One Huge Loop[R]" is lost. Shall I do this event again?

Hey Thursday, what about adding the IL leaderboard for PoN like you did it for Enter the Matrix? :-)

I'm interested in speedrunning some levels in the future.

Hey guys,

can someone explain to me what exactly timebug in challenge series is and how it happens? For instance, in Challenge Series #1

Thanks!
