A Super Mario World romhack autosplitter with ambitions to make all SNES emulator autosplitting easier.
Should work for most normal splits out of the box but I like fine-grained splits so there's support for checkpoints, room transitions, and more. Unforutunately SMW romhacks can be weird, so you will need to add a couple custom splits (or disable a couple splits) if using fine-grained splits and there is some rudimentary custom split support for this.
Go to Releases and download the zip. Instructions are in the README.
Customize splits in the Scriptable Autosplitter settings once it's installed.
You'll need to be able to debug to customize splits, add new emulators, or for development in general.
DebugView is a program for viewing debug statements. All errors from all your Windows programs go there, but LiveSplit and the LiveSplit autosplitter plugin, and kaizosplits will have useful messages there if you're stuck.
If you end up wanting more fine-grained splits, such as removing some checkpoint splits, custom credits split, or room splits for only one level, then this gets a bit complicated. Here's how:
Open your Kaizo.asl which is defines the whole autosplitter and take a look at the split {} section for the switch cases.
To add custom splits to a run, add a case for your run name which you can see in Livesplit or by using the DebugViewer debugging program.
Add a credits split, add regular splits, or suppress splits like this:
s.credits = CONDITION;
s.other = CONDITION || CONDITION || ... || CONDITION;
s.block = CONDITION || CONDITION || ... || CONDITION;
These CONDITIONs are usually:
w.SHIFT_CONDITION or (w.ONGOING_CONDITION && w.SHIFT_CONDITION)
The list of ONGOING_CONDITIONs and SHIFT_CONDITIONs are in Watchers.cs relative to this README file. You'll need to find specific room numbers or other values to fill in these conditions. Check the Debugging above for how to monitor values.
This is generic C# code, but if you follow the examples that exist there already, you shouldn't need to learn any programming.
Note that these custom splits depend heavily on your settings config, but currently you can't have different cases per settings config, so you'll probably need to change your custom splits if you change your settings config.
If you're trying to add custom splits for, say, a specific level, you'll need to know the level number. Same for or room numbers or whatever.
- Go to the
update{}section ofKaizo.asland find theMONITOR HEREcomment - Below it, add a line for each memory item you want to monitor.
t.Monitor(w.A_MEMORY_WATCHER_NAME, w);
t.Monitor(w.ANOTHER_MEMORY_WATCHER_NAME, w);
The list of MEMORY_WATCHER_NAMEs are in Watchers.cs. Some examples are levelNum, roomNum, or io.
