Research direction

Reproduce the behavior with the provided Python socket script, focusing on the initgametime, setcomparison gametime, and getcurrenttime commands. Trace the server entry point that handles getcurrenttime and its use of TimingMethod.RealTime; done means the command returns game time after the shown setup.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

'getcurrenttime' is the only command that will directly retrieve livesplit's timer data, and it always retrieves via TimingMethod.RealTime. I've initialized game time. I've setcomparison to gametime. Doesn't matter. When I ask for 'getcurrenttime,' I always get back the RealTime.

Python:

import time
import socket

livesplit = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
livesplit.connect(("localhost", 16834))
livesplit.send("initgametime\r\n".encode())
livesplit.send("setcomparison gametime\r\n".encode())
livesplit.send("starttimer\r\n".encode())
livesplit.send("pausegametime\r\n".encode())
time.sleep(3)
livesplit.send("getcurrenttime\r\n".encode())
ls_time = livesplit.recv(1024).decode()[:-2]
print(ls_time)
