Verified Tools

If tool validity changes, this post will be updated or recreated and an announcement will be made. Please take the time to read this post. If you're unsure about an application, feel free to reach out to the moderators about it for discussion.

Memory Leak Manager

The TY Memory Leak Manager is a tool created by xMcacutt designed to help mitigate the risk of runs dying to memory leaks. It reads the currently used memory similarly to how Task Manager tracks memory usage and determines the number of runs left for a category before the game will likely crash. It also has an auto restart feature meaning if Ty does crash, the game will boot back up almost instantly onto the main menu making game resets faster.

Collectible Tracker

The TY Collectible Tracker is an OBS plugin created by Buzchy designed to help runners of more collectible heavy categories keep track of their collectibles. This provides no mechanical advantage but reduces the stress of not knowing if you've missed something without having to pause the game. It reads the collectible counts from the game and outputs them to an OBS overlay to add to your scene.

Auto-Splitter / Load Remover

The Auto-Splitter / Load Remover created by Rythin and rewritten by xMcacutt does what it says on the tin. It automatically splits according to some user defined preferences and allows you to add a load removed timer to LiveSplit to see your loadless time. It can be activated from directly within LiveSplit once you've selected the game.

In the event of any suspicious behaviour in runs, we may ask for a LiveSplit Auto-Splitter log file. If you don't use LiveSplit or the Auto-Splitter and cheating is suspected, further action will be taken. The log file simply gives you another layer of protection if something odd happens in your run and gives you peace of mind that we have strong anti-cheat measures in place.

Key2Joy

Key2Joy makes it possible to rebind certain controls which are typically only available on controller to keyboard and mouse. As of 26/08/2023 it is considered a verified tool.

Setup

• Key2Joy uses the scpvbus driver which can cause serious damage to windows if uninstalled incorrectly. The CORRECT uninstall tool is packaged with the application and named ScpDriverInstaller.exe.
• The application is still in development. As of v0.6.0, there is a bug causing corrupt configurations to prevent the app from running. If this bug occurs and an exception is thrown, delete the Key2Joy folder in your user documents folder and reopen the app.
• To configure a control binding, select add new mapping and set the trigger and the action. You should create two mapping for each binding; create one mapping for the keypress and one for the release.
• Avoid using Ctrl as the hotkey due to bugginess.
• Rebinding the abort key is strongly recommended.
• If you're not sure about setting up, a default profile is provided here with left stick up bound to F and interact bound to G.

Rules and regulations

• Binding multiple inputs to one key is prohibited.
• Binding forwards for outback movement is encouraged.
• Binding interact for intro cutscene skips is encouraged.
• Failing to provide a key2joy profile within a reasonable timeframe when asked by moderators may result in a run being invalidated.

Buzchy's Outback Movement Script

As an alternative to Key2Joy, Buzchy's python script is also permitted for runs. The rules for use of the script are identical to Key2Joy where applicable.
