In mass effect 2, when you start the game, you walk down a hallway for 30 seconds and then there's a 10 minute unskippable cutscene, and then the game starts for real. Runners have agreed to start the game from a loaded save after the cutscene, effectively choosing to not play a part of the game becuase it isn't fun or interesting. They've invented a new game to run that is mass effect 2 but slightly altered.
I see bioshock infinite in a similar vein. There's bioshock infinite, a garbage game that is no fun, and then there's bioshock infinite prime, a cool game for chill people. Nobody is stopping you from running the bad game. The times aren't tracked for it because nobody actually wants to play it.

Loading an in-engine cutscene that takes place in another part of the map so quickly is amazing enough that not keeping track of a cool down timer while maintaining the location and momentum of the box when it gets back to where you are is amazing

I'm pretty sure I've played games where similar events would just flat out reset all physics objects to their default locations

They're prerendered cutscenes.

No, Tfue got a 30 day ban for it and it mysteriously changed to a 7 day ban about 24-48hr later. So you tell me, if this was such clear cut horrid racism, why would they be lowering the ban?

The official documentation is here:
https://github.com/LiveSplit/LiveSplit/blob/master/Documentation/Auto-Splitters.md
In particular, the first step is here

quote:

Testing your Script

You can test your Script by adding the Scriptable Auto Splitter component to your Layout. Right-click on LiveSplit and choose "Edit Layout..." to open the Layout Editor, then click on the Plus-sign and choose "Scriptable Auto Splitter" from the section "Control". You can set the Path of the Script by going into the component settings of the Scriptable Auto Splitter. To get to the settings of the component you can either double click it in the Layout Editor or go into to the Scriptable Auto Splitter Tab of the Layout Settings. Once you've set the Path, the script should automatically load and hopefully work.

and then you can look at examples of scripts here:
https://fatalis.pw/livesplit/asl-list/

You're going to need DebugView if you want to be able to see the output of print statements in your script to help you debug it.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/debugview

if you need help with using cheatengine to find pointers (I think you're saying you've got it already, but just to be certain), here is a short overview of what you're trying to do:
https://www.reddit.com/r/speedrun/comments/789bu4/how_does_one_go_about_creating_a_load_remover/dosvdb9/

Once you're done, the official documentation also tells you how to add the completed script to livesplit so that everyone can use it.

Most speedrun.com moderators are good nice people and it's not like the doom guys are actually powertripping jerks. They just obey the convetional wisdom on what makes a speedrun.com leaderboard. "It's a meme category" could also mean "nobody has actually run this in earnest yet"

In general, people want you to be good at the game and teach you everything they've learned. It's not about winning. It's about discovering the best speedrun. It's hidden inside the game and we all have to work together to get it out. Plus, people dedicate a ton of time to studying the game and they get excited when they have someone who is intered in learning.

Even if they're hyper competitive and are all about havimg the WR, the record means more the more people who are competing at their level.

honestly, I came here for posts about speedrunning, and I get a very politically charged thread. Clearly people who do not agree with you are not welcome. I know not agreeing with you makes you a Nazi(a defunct political party, which no one is a part of, but you can feel good that your 'fighting' Nazis). I guess it would be too much to ask you to tone it down, or make a separate thread. (GDQ drama thread, GDQ community thread).

You can do sd capture for cheaper. You can also just play the game fast and not record it.

Back in the day, everyone had sd consoles and a vcr, so capture was no problem. You'd just mail the tapes in to sda.
