This is a livesplit autosplitter for Halo: CE. This project targets the gearbox 2003 retail release as well as custom editon (2004).
The autosplitter is built into livesplit. To enable, in the "Edit Splits" window, enter "Halo: Combat Evolved" under Game Name. You should see "Autosplitting for Halo: CE (2003 PC version, by Cambid)". Activate the autosplitter if it is deactivated by clicking "Activate".
When speedrunning standard campaign missions, the autosplitter will detect whether the map files are built with tool.exe rather than a 3rd party solution and will refuse to start if it does not detect this. This is because maps built with 3rd party build tools cannot be guaranteed to be 1:1 with the official build tools (Example being the "Refined" campaign maps).
The autosplitter functionality can be customised under Settings in "Edit Splits" By default the autosplitter is set up for full game runs. Only "Split on loading screen" should be selected under Advanced. To swtich to timing invdividual levels, select "Individual level mode". This will overrride the previous options if they are ticked.
