Saving Campaign Battle Replays - It's possible

**Soul Firez** · July 08, 2009, 01:10 PM

no it makes a replay folder as soon as you make a replay me i only got this to work once and then all i get is this in my log as the game crashes when i try to play my saved replays

REPLAY checker difference at tick 1459!

thats what it says in my log the tick is a different number every time but its always the same crash on load of replay ( ys i am trying to play it in the mod replay not med 2 replay LOL

but strange thing is, that i can't exit this replay. when i hit <ESC>
and qo on exit battles it asks if i realy want to - and no matter
what i hit than - it goes back to the <ESC> menu.
yeah well - i dont matter - the replay is running and that's what count.

I agree, axnsan is indeed amazing

Yes i saw that trouble with exiting, i will update my OP with the small problems you may encounter.

**Soul Firez** · July 08, 2009, 01:23 PM

have you cut + moved the .rpy from the replay folder in the main
directory to the replay folder in "./../mods/Third_Age/replays" yet?

**Soul Firez** · July 08, 2009, 01:29 PM

i copy and pasted it does it change it if i cut ???

hmm tried to cut and then paste nope same thing i just crash with log saying that bloody ticker difference LOL starnge how it worked perfectly the first time (well couldnt exit the replay but it worked but everyone since has had the ticker difference??

**MaxMazi** · July 08, 2009, 01:40 PM

I've just saved my second battle replay and it worked when i've played it.

For the ones that are doing tests in order to help the ones with problems, don't fight the whole battle, just redraw all your units from battle, it's much faster for testing.

I've updated my first post, with the users that have problems, please try to help them if you know how. I will try also.

no it is the same no matter if you copy or cut the file. try this .rpy from legolose andmaxmazi an tell us if this one works.

or you can quit after a few minutes - the result table is
coming in every case. and there you can save.

**Soul Firez** · July 08, 2009, 01:58 PM

ah it came up with warning played with different version of the game and then well crashed with again a ticker difference entry in my log oh it actuall makes a seperate file in the log by the way not just the log eentry this ticker difference apears inside the log in a file called dsync replay

ok wierd the second one worked i checked my log it stil had that dysnc log inside it with ticker difference but it did work got me buggered now LOL

**Soul Firez** · July 08, 2009, 02:19 PM

sorry for double post seeing the second one worked for me (even though it said different version ) i tried again and on other mods to that have no log entries when playing at all and still same thing crash with the entry in log saying replay dsync inside that file difference at ticker some number different for every replay hmm

i guess just not ment to be worked once for one of my own replays and never again

**axnsan** · July 08, 2009, 02:22 PM

Try to see if replays for custom battles work...

**MaxMazi** · July 08, 2009, 02:28 PM

Soul Firez do not get upset man. If we will not find an answer for you, you still have the alternative to play it with cinematic editor.

(and trust me, it's better).
Can you please attach your problematic campaign saved battle to check for myself?

**Soul Firez** · July 08, 2009, 02:37 PM

yeah a custom battle normal replay works and even if i dont save the the replay normally and i use that console command to save the game that works also for custom battles LOL just not campaigngames well apart from the first one i did crash ever since

yeah i need to down load and learn how to use the cinematic editor LOL

**Soul Firez** · July 08, 2009, 02:48 PM

here is a quick one i just did i stil find it strange i can use that console commabnd to save a custom battle and it works but not a campaign one LOL ah well try this one if you like

**MaxMazi** · July 08, 2009, 02:55 PM

Man, i've checked everything i could think off. I've loaded a 1.0 saved campaign (because i thought that will not work when i will try to play it with 1.1 installed), saved the battle, play it, it worked, and that's my fourth save in a row that is working... I suggest you to do a clean reinstall, keep all your saved campaigns, battles... and then try again. If you send me the file, i will try to play it in cinematic editor to see if it's working. If it will, i will teach you to watch it, it's very very easy just to watch.

EDIT: Please provide me with the faulty replay, not the custom one that worked.
EDIT2: Ups, sorry, this is from campaign, am i right?

**Soul Firez** · July 08, 2009, 03:01 PM

i cant see a clean install working i have tried it on vanilla also and i got the same error but i can save a custom battle using that console comand and that works fine LOL( as did the first campaign one i did

) but after that i just keep getting that ticker error i uploaded a replay did it work for you?? maybe its a vista thing ( yes i have user account control turned off ) ah well thanks for trying ill try getting a cinematic editor and see if i can see it in that

thaat is a campaign one that didnt work for me 8) but it obviously works for you

EDIT now i am really puzzled as that second one you uploaded to test worked fine for me but none of my ownbarring the first one one of lifes puzzles

**MaxMazi** · July 08, 2009, 03:14 PM

Sorry, bad news, the replay you attached it doesn't work in cined also.
This is the log for the error when trying to play it in game:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

I am no expert in this, but it seems that you had some submods, then you removed them?
Maybe someone who can read that log can help you.

**Soul Firez** · July 08, 2009, 03:30 PM

ah i havent removed any submods i have visual enhancement and RR/RC everything works perfectly well except this i plus reped you for the effort mate thanks( i did try vanillia also and it didnt work for me same error )

i would say it is making that log because you dont have RC/RR which has many different ancillaries with the imortal nazgual thing etc but the game works fine for me that the main thing bugger though replays would have been great

saved replay games have a .rpy ending
they have to be put in ".\..\Mediewal II - Total War\mods\Third_Age\replays"

Jan, i've added this info in my OP. Thanks mate.

Thanks and sorry mate, your problem is weird, especially because you made one replay that is working... Maybe a solution will appear, so stay tuned!

I've edited my first post (original post, OP) with all the info gathered so far, and all the steps for making this to work.

**paradamed** · July 08, 2009, 07:43 PM

I had to create the replay folder manually and then it worked. Anyway I got a CTD after a few seconds of replay.
