Autosplitter

At the moment I (Urinstein) take care of the autosplitter, so if you have questions or bug reports, add and dm me on Discord.
Be aware that the autosplitter only works on updated. Original is not supported.

To use the autosplitter right click Livesplit and go to ***Edit Splits...***
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/518571658475339776/762398871056810004/unknown.png

In the next window make sure you have declared Hotline Miami as the splits' game, then click ***Activate*** and then go to ***Settings***.
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/518571658475339776/762399651705389086/unknown.png

At the top of the autosplitter settings you find the standard options ***Start***, ***Split*** and ***Reset***, in case you wish to turn any of these off.
More importantly, below you find the settings for when to split. Choose the category you want to run and then whether you want to split on every part, every level or (if you feel particularly degen today) every floor.
Hover over the settings for details. Do not check more than one of these settings.
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/518571658475339776/762401017152405554/unknown.png

That's it, your autosplitter should be running now.
Unless you are playing any version of Hotline other than the Steam or GoG versions. Only these two are supported.

Make sure you have the right number of splits, to go with your splitter settings.
For ***Parts*** just create 5 splits.
For ***Levels*** create 20 splits [or download these splits here](https://www.speedrun.com/resourceasset/c2do0).
For ***Floors*** you should definitely download the ones uploaded in the Resources.
[These are for any%](https://www.speedrun.com/resourceasset/ndwcc) and [these are for All Levels](https://www.speedrun.com/resourceasset/he52b).
If you download any of these splits, you will have to put ***Subsplits*** into your Livesplit layout, not ***Spits***.
if you want to run All Masks, you will have to add an extra split at the end for the second Resolution.

If you choose to split every floor in ILs, keep in mind that every floor transition will be split, so for example Hot & Heavy will have 7 splits, as you enter Floor 1 four different times.
Also make sure for ILs to change your active comparison to Game Time.
The IL splitter only works for levels, that have a scorescreen with IGT.
The IL splitter is only activated in the level intro screen, so after starting or changing your setting to IL make sure to reload the level from the level select.

Since the autosplitter will at all times read out the IGT, it is possible to show it even during full game runs. Just add an additional timer you your layout and set it to display IGT.
The **Track death in IGT** settings makes it so that when you die, the IGT does not jump back but instead includes your deaths' timelosses in the IGT.

Data Dump

https://urinstein.github.io/Hotline-Data-Dump/

This is a collection of Dump's data mining efforts. Crucially it has all the AI logic analysed and written into a table, but it also has some other stuff.

Fix to Updated Version Crashing

Updated hotline is known to crash every 20-30 minutes of continous gameplay in case of integrated GPU due to unhandled memory leaks (on the Original version it happens no matter what, hence amongst many other reasons we don't run on it). However, in recent days a solution to fix that issue was found, which turned out to be tied to the game savefile:


1. In the resources tab, you can find a 100% file or a file w/o Charlie (more suitable for runnning All Levels). Download either of these.
2. Change the name of the file to SaveData.sav (if it's not named like that already). Do not tamper with the format. The file should be weighting at 256KB.
3. Copy and paste the SaveData.sav file to the directory where the save is located: C:\Users\(your_name)\Documents\My Games\HotlineMiami . Replace the file when asked.
