# Alternative solution

[There is now an online version of this tool](https://sonoftunk.github.io/SimpleLoadRemover/)

# Introduction

This is a tool used to calculate your load removed time (LRT) automatically by you just entering your "begin load time", "end load time" and the time you finished at. This tool only works on Windows and has so far only been tested on Windows 10.

# How to use

The program is simple to use, all you have to do is download the textfile attached to this post, rename the file to "LRTcalculator.bat" and double-click the application (do not forget to change the file extension to .bat or the program will not run).

The first time you run the file your computer may warn you that the file is dangerous, this is because Batch files (.bat) aren't commonly used and can be lethal to your system if created with malicious intent. The reason for why I used a Batch file for this project is because it's a simple language and works on any Windows system.

If it's Windows Defender which is stopping you from running the calculator then you can press "More info" and "Run anyway" to run it. The following times you run it, it should not complain.

# Example

When using the program it's important that you follow the correct format. The time format used is minutes seperated by a colon (:) and then followed by seconds (this is also specified when you launch the application). If I wanted to calculate the LRT of my world record as of 2023-12-25, which has the following splits:

- Begin load time: 3 minutes and 27 seconds
- End load time: 4 minutes and 21 seconds
- Finished time: 19 minutes and 50 seconds

I'd do this by opening the application and entering the values (in that order) 3:27, 4:21 and 19:50 when prompted. The program then spits out my final time of 18 minutes and 56 seconds in the format 18:56.
