Replay

[Razz1]

Replay may cause some one an epileptic seizure.
I recommend to turn off the highlight for unit movement on replay.
You could slow it down a couple of milli-seconds but I believe the issue is the highlighted range of movement.

Also, I wanted to exit the replay and game CTD.

Hit escape during replay.
Click on Main menu.
You get a pop up and CTD.

Just another note... I was unable to upload/attache the replay from Border Raids. This site said that the file extension pzrpl was not allowed for this site.

Compress the file with a packer to .zip and then attach it. if you have none you can use http://www.7-zip.org/. It's small, good and free.

I can not load a replay during a scenario. It load not the mission itself then but the last turn of the game contained in the mission. To be able to watch a replay i have to quit the current scenario and go to the main menu then loading and playing the replay works. While this may be intended it would be worth mentioning it or even better disabling the ability to load replays during scenarios.

Just to back what Razz said about a CTD when trying to pause/end a replay. It would be helpful if the replay can be paused or ended by a button rather than needing to play the whole thing through.

Well CTD aside, you can end the replay using game menu, just like you end normal scenario. Do we really need another button for this?

Pause/resume would be useful, yes.

I would like to second this. It's hard on the eyes.

Resume/Pause buttons have also been mentioned, also a good idea. Tarrak also noticed you must load replays from the main screen, otherwise they don't work properly and load like a saved game.

Menu is fine - the CTD was the real problem, of course.

I loaded Monkspiders game here:
viewtopic.php?f=148&t=42303&p=401259#p401259

It plays the first turn then stops. Nothing you do will get it to work.
So I quit to desktop, load the game and load the replay from the menu. Still only able to see one turn.

I tried it too and i have exactly the same problem. The replay stops after the AI finished the first turn.

First of all, I love this capability!

But...
1) How do you control it during replay (pause, forward, reverse,etc)

2) When I try to exit during playback, it is tough to finally get the menu to select exit. Then once exit finally is accepted I get a microsoft error that the progran did not close properly. Maybe because I have to hit the exit to desktop from the menu so many times gefore it takes action.

3) I also noted that you have to go all the way back to the Main menu to load a replay upon completing a game. i.e., it had issues of going to the esc menu and loading the replay from there.

Where is the replay documented,

I have tried to upload a tester replay file, but didn't find a ny way to use it in game. I noticed the replay folder on the load screen, but don't know in which directory the replay should be located?
I have no idea how to save replay from my game either?

Any help would be appreciated.

The folder is at the same location as the save geame folder.

Thanks for your help.

That was my initial thought. But it didn't work at start. After various experiments I finally sucessuflly replayed the file.

My saved games use to be in Documents\MyGames\PanzerCorps\Save
and the replay goes in Documents\MyGames\PanzerCorps\Replay
