Brilliant Mod Idea - Replay Recorder

[Navaros]

Can someone make one?

In War3, after every game you are given the option to "Save Replay", and if you do this it saves a very small file on your HD (like 64kb) that records the entire contents of the game that was just played. So you can watch the game over and over again, and see every single thing that happened.

If there was a Mod like this to record replays of ranked Emperor games, EVERYONE would love it. It would be the most popular mod ever.

Would it be possible to do this?

maybe..but it WOULD be hard...

apart from a video recorder with your screen, no it isn't sadly.

how does War3 do it then? they don't use a video recorder.

why not just use a similar technique to the War3 one?

wc3 has it programmed into the game engine

emp doesn't

we can't change emps engine

Actually Olaf wrote something like this for Red Alert 2. You can see some of the details over at his site, http://xcc.tiberian.com/

what do you mean by replay recorder?

[Desert_Eagle25]

It records the game and then u can replay it see whut happens allt he way from beggining to end, and u ahve options like remve fog of war so u can stufy ur oponents strategies and stuff

ya the problem for doing that in emperor is that you would only be able to see what you were doing not your enemy

Lol... I only have theories.If I would make any replay function for my game... It would just store where any buildings were placed and where you clicked to go...My map file is only theories...I am making a map file I have no idea if I can use it for my new game lol

This website has a program that lets you record and watch games from Total Annihilation so it should be possible to do it with WW games as well.

The thing Olaf did, was actually programmed in RA 2 itself I believe, it was just a tag you could use in DOS Mode or something like that. I forget since I lost everythign I had dealing with RA 2, and just went to Emperor... ::)

any way u need a extern program so a modification is not made...
