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

1. Download LiveSplit from https://livesplit.org/downloads/ and unzip it to a directory of your choosing.
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.
3. Launch LiveSplit and do the following:
   • Right click, Open Splits, select [name of the race].lss.
   • Right click, Open Layout, select [name of the race].lsl.
   • Right click, Edit Layout, Layout Settings, then in “Scriptable Auto Splitter”, set [name of the race].asl as the script path.

Note: When the game is loaded with LiveSplit running, or when you start LiveSplit while the game is up, LiveSplit will lock up for 15 seconds and not respond. This is because it has to wait until it can be sure that the game has written a journal file.

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 stop 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 %AppData%, 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.

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.
