Hi everyone!

My name is CursedToast and I come from the Resident Evil speedrunning community. I'm known there as a mod and writing something called Autosplits for the series.

What are autosplits? As the name implies, it's a script that enables Livesplit to detect when to split for you automatically.

I'm a big fan of the Hotline series, and while bored at work I watched a few speedruns from this board. Then I had the idea, why not write one for Miami 2?!

So it works like this:

1.) The game timer starts automatically for you upon the start of Down Under. 2.) A split automatically occurs at the Results screen of each level, with the exception of the last level. A split automatically occurs during the scene with Richter. This is because of how Dennaton coded the game. You can always split manually when you hit the rainbow bridge if it bothers you. Sorry about that!

This obviously brings the convenience of not having to manually split (and accidentally forget), but more importantly offers precise consistency in your splits. Everyone using these splits will split at the same time, and you'll always split at the same place for each level, every time.

So here's a zip file containing the script and splits I made that are compatible with the script:

Instructions:

-Extract the archive and load the .lss file up in Livesplit like you would for any other splits. -In LiveSplit edit your layout and add "Scriptable Auto Splitter". Afterwards, double click the "Scriptable Auto Splitter" text and browse to the ASL script file. -Load up Hotline 2 and enjoy.

I did some quick tests of various levels and it worked dandy, but if you come across a bug please let me know.

Feedback is also appreciated!

I hope to see you all on the leaderboards soon. I'll be back later; time to learn the routing of this game!

nobody wants to run this game, even with autosplits, ty

Don't mind Linkcoeur, he's a bad guy

You should have made one for Hotline Miami 1 instead of 2 no one runs HM2.

If you made one for HM1 people'd use it, though if you are going to make one make sure to hmu because i can give you the preferred spot for splitting.

Yeah, I was thinking about making one for 1 as well. It didn't take long at all for HM2. Let me install Discord, I'll have some quick questions I'm sure.

Thanks for making this, if I ever go back to this game I'll use it haha
