Inspired by by recently popularized attempts (Chihuahua_Charity
and elpern) of completing the Company of Heroes 2 Eastern Front Singleplayer Campaign as quickly as possible (Any%), I wrote a script to automatically split the mission times and pause the timer during loading screens.

Instructions and necessary downloads are available on GitHub: https://github.com/Janne252/LiveSplit.CoH2CampaignAutoSplit

Quick summary of supported features: Detection of starting a mission, detection of restarting of a mission (either via pause menu or by loading a savegame of the same mission), detection of ending a mission, loading screen time skipping, "Game paused" time skipping.

The script is ready for testing and has already been successfully used by Chihuahua_Charity on a full campaign playthrough. See the GitHub page for usage instructions, notes about known issues, and "good to know" details.

Thanks to Chihuahua_Charity for helping with testing the script.

Janne, I noticed three entries in the LOG file for missions:

Code

17:55:40.88   GAME -- Scenario: DATA:scenarios\sp\coh2_campaign\m08-tiger_hunting\tiger_hunting
17:56:09.95   PerformanceRecorder::StartRecording for game size 4
18:07:54.14   PerformanceRecorder::EndRecording - game size=4, max average=0.045077, worst frame=0.010000

Which entry are you using to start the timer? It seems like the STARTRECORDING entry would be the correct one, but the GAME -- SCENARIO entry gave closer times to the test plays I had looked at.

PS
Amazing work as always!

I used

Code

GAME -- Starting mission:

Because the line also contains the unique path of the mission scenario file. Seemed to trigger at the right time & easy detection of progression per mission, especially with restarting a mission.
