Shogun Replays!

[Jochi Khan]

By the way, can someone remind me how to record and play back games?

Thnaks.

Hi Krast

Create 2 d/top icons name one Record and in Properties in the Target line ,after exe" leave a space and put ER
and name the other one Replay and in Properties in the Target line after the exe" leave a space and put mEP

Run the game from the Record icon (the game is saved in the Dumplog)

Run the game from the Replay icon to view the replay. (each game has to be renamed replay to view)

Happy hunting.

is there no stand alone replay viewer that can play all replays from the diferent games?

if not..
any one here have the background for making one?

m prety sure that all the pic details excterea are in the game dir.
and the replay files are basically algorythms of what happend "for want of a better word"
Logically it should be possible to make a stand alone viwer that has the the data to play all the replays.

but i cant even pretend to know what to do :)
i can make little tile based rpg's with litt;e scripts in them that warp you to a nother room when you walt over a certain tile..

(took me 3 weeks to make 5 rooms 4 charicters "3 were npc's with dialoug 1 of them ran a shop. 12 weapons and a set of clothes and it still looked like a 6 year old drew it)

So i dunno..
any 1 here able to do it?

You could record with FRAPS and encode it with xvid to reduce the size.
Would cost a lot of time, though.

The replay has to be run back through the same game and same unit stat files with which it was made. The only thing in the replay file are the commands the players gave the units.

Yeah i kind of guessed that with the replay file sizes.

I still believe that its possible to make a stand alone player that has the data needed to play replays.
The only way i could possibly make 1 is to start decompiling shogun.
Which im not allowed to do.

but there are many clever people in this world.
who could probably figure out how to do it.

Was hopeing one of these people would be around.

Where's the Properties, and what do you mean by Target line?

Shaka, you do have a shortcut to Shogun somewhere on your desktop
or your startmenu. Right click on it and select Properties.
A window opens. Select the register-card "Shortcut", the middle one of three.
Look for the entry "Target" which looks ca. like this:
"C:\Programs\Shogun_Total War\Shogun.exe"
Change it to
"C:\Programs\Shogun_Total War\Shogun.exe" mEP

Save.

WOW, thanks m8! I don't even have to download an extra program. I'm surprised that I didn't know this for such a long time.
