Enable replay mid-game?

Post by adogreen »

Is this possible? I've put about 8 hours into a save before I realised that apparently I forgot to tick the box in the setup??

Alternatively is it possible to start a new game with replay enabled and just copy the map over? (I don't particularly not recording the bit I've already done)

Thanks

Normally, no. A replay file isn't very different from a tool assisted speed run in that it only copies player actions and the rest of the game runs from there. It is not possible to start a replay mid game since the previous inputs are required to make it work.

It is technically possible to begin a replay mid stream if you have the complete game state on hand before starting the replay. But that's a pretty unusual feature for any game.

Yeah that makes sense, especially with what I know about replays desyncing.

I'll just redo what I've done , it's only 8 hours at least :)

Thanks!

I wish it was possible... so that the replay itself starts from the point you enabled it.

I think, if you turn the save into a scenario, then start the scenario with replay enabled, it should work
