Hi there! I'm new here and have been playing around with speedrunning Trevor%, Deep Inside and others. I've been trying to follow up what the speedrunners do on their runs, however, it's a bit difficult sometimes as they're doing things as quickly as they can, making it hard to follow the exact step by step.

So I was wondering if this is something each runner has on their own and isn't necessarily shared or if it's somewhere in resources and I haven't been able to find it.

I saw that there are guides to trevor% as an example, however that's from a couple of years ago so I guess it's a bit behind on the things being done and utilized.

Thanks in advance!

There is nothing like a well documented stratbook or sth, best we have is the tutorial series in Guides. Trevor% is a little older, but still for the most part up to date, especially regarding beginner-friendly strats. That aside you can join the discord and 1) check the confirmed strats channel or also 2) just ask around, especially if you decide to watch WR and don't understand some stuff.

People usually don't share their notes, mostly because (from my experience) notes are very personalized, some people may even skip over some strats in their notes that you'd find essential.

Also, writing notes is of huge help to memorize the stuff yourself, so I HIGHLY recommend writing them yourself regardless.

Also if you're on PC, Livesplit has a sweet extension called SGL you can use.

Hey there! Forgot to join the discord so I'll do that now, thanks for the reminder!

SGL I assume is what updates as you're going over the different splits? that's great is there any post around here that explains installation/guide on how to use it?

I'll start watching the guide then and start with that, later on progressing with the new strats

Thanks for your help!

I think you need to just download the file on their website and put the dll in your livesplit/components. It should be documented on their website, worst case you can also ask about that on the discord

I've noticed on older LiveSplit versions that SGl can be problematic, so if you need a backup there is another (older) program called SplitNotes which is based off of a text file and works through the LiveSplit server instead of being an extension. I also have found SplitNotes to be more user-friendly, but that's personal opinion. You can find a download link here if you'd like to use it instead, but it's up to you: https://github.com/joeloskarsson/SplitNotes

Thank you! Will give both a look, have just been trying to get the hang on the prologue skip haha.

I appreciate it!
