good videos
« on: February 24, 2011, 12:01:10 pm »
Hi guys,
is there any good player who can post a video of a game (or part of it )? I'm curious to see some different approach from mine to play AI War.
Thanks!

You're probably already familiar with the videos available on youtube I take it. Although I don't think any of those show a full game (because it would be about 5,000 different video segments) and they're pretty much all outdated. I would also be interested in being able to see how others play the game.

In fact, what would be really cool is the ability to record a demo file that can then be passed around and played back in a sort of spectator mode. No doubt it would require more coding than would make it worthwhile, but a man can dream.

I'm actualy kind of surprised we don't have Replays. Most good RTS' do. Mantis issue! Mantis Issue!

This would also probably help with bugs and stuff because instead of saves we could get some replays instead. Save some work and be a little more accurate.
Options are deadly.... :O :O :O

Go forth and vote it up, and give Chris and Keith a headache!

Edit: Oh well, so much for that idea! At least I got a great explanation of exactly why it's impossible.
