Possible to start timer at x seconds?

[bngs]

Hey, I was wondering if its at all possible to make the timer start at x seconds. I want to start a run at 50 seconds while training so I dont need to watch the intro everytime and use savestates instead.

I've seen through the settings in the README, but I can only find start delay. Did I miss something?

Actually urn already supports that through the start_delay option. Simply, add "start_delay": "-50" to your splits file (.json). Please explain if this is not a satisfactory workaround (I'd guess it causes some sort of problems if the first 50 seconds of the run span over multiple splits ...)

Thank you @resilar!! I read through the options and saw this

start_delay Non-negative delay until timer starts

I thought that meant I cant put -50 as the start delay, but it seems to work.

Thanks for this!

Setting a delay in my splits file does not make the timer start and the delayed time I want. Do I need to add something else to my theme file in addition to adding the "start_delay": "-1.50" ? does it support the decimal format or does it have to be rounded format?
