replays

[Originway]

my friend and I were discussing this and wondered why this isn't available yet?
since mp games are in sync then could you not just copy the data the game sends to a file instead of another player?

replay as in... video replay? That would more or less require either saving each frame to a texture then showing it back over again or saving all data each frame so the renderer could play it back each frame. If i'm following correctly anyway.

If the JS API gets some additional events / functions, it would be possible to create a set of scripts that record the in-game events and then later play them back to within 100ms accuracy. Wouldn't be 100% accurate, but would be do-able.

Emm no.
"replay" as in "file that stores only orders given, not things that exactly happened". Since the game is deterministic since 3.1, it should be enough.

[vexed]

While I suppose that is possible, there is no glue code to read from the file to inject the orders.

[Iluvalar]

since 3.1

But it doesn't exist yet.

to read something we need to write something
is somewhere option which makes possibility to write log of actions?
