Don’t know what “LiveSplit” is? It allows you to time speedruns of your favourite games!

You are organizing one of the Magic 8-Ball races and want yours to be added to the collection? Just ask.

Setup

2. Download this repository (green button in the top right of the repostory view → “Download ZIP”) and extract it to a directory of your choosing. Alternatively, clone the git repository.

   • Right click, Open Splits, select [name of the race].lss.

Races

Race 1 – Back to Pareco

https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/the-buckyball-racing-club-presents-back-to-pareco-magic-8-ball-championship-race-1.598760/

The AutoSplitter will start the timer once you undock from Garden Ring. It will enforce docking at the race’s stations in the correct order. After 20 minutes you get one last stop, then the timer will pause and reset once you dock back at Garden Ring.

There are two settings:

• Write the number of stops to a file, e.g. for a stream overlay: Does exactly that. You can find the file in My Documents, the full path will be in the tooltip. Disabled by default.
• Automatically reset when docking back at Garden Ring: Automatically reset when you have finished a run and dock back at Garden Ring. Enabled by default.
• Automatically stop the timer after death: Automatically stop the timer should you meet an untimely demise. Disabled by default.

Note: If your next stop is Garden Ring when the time limit is reached, you will either have to reset LiveSplit manually after docking there or re-dock to have the AutoSplitter reset it for you.

Race 2 – The Aquarian Job

The AutoSplitter will start the timer once you undock from London Relay. It will enforce doing all steps in the corret order. There is no sane way to check for the distance requirements around Cooper Arena; as long as you land/take off within ~50 km of the settlement, you will get a split.

There is one settings:

• Automatically reset when refuelling or repairing: Automatically reset when you Refuel or repair, since that is against the rules. Disabled by default.

Race 3 – Wiccan BeWare

The AutoSplitter will start the timer once you undock from Dublin Citadel. It will not enforce buying the correct cargo, and not check the system you buy it in. It can also not detect if/when you fly through the tunnel at Gateway Interchange Hub, nor enforce the speed requirement.

There is one settings:

• Automatically reset when refuelling or repairing: Automatically reset when you Refuel or repair, since that is against the rules. Disabled by default.

Race 4 – On the Rocks

The AutoSplitter will start the timer once you undock from Rebuy Prospect. It will not enforce selling 1t of beer mats (split will trigger at selling anything), and not check if you’re buying water at Jack’s Town.

Since the order in which you visit the race’s stops is up to you, the splits do not have a specific order and instead just list the nth stop.

There are no settings.
