Battle Replays?

[Munch]

Hi,

I like saving battle replays when I have just done a really good battle, normally in campaigns, but during the campaigns, if I have done a battle, I don't have the option of saving the battle replay. Is this just me, or is this something to think about in nxt-gen mods...

Cheers for any feedback

There's a trick to it, what you have to do, is....

1. play the scenario or campaign battle normally, when completed....
2. go to your C:\Program Files\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\temp folder .........not sure about Total War: Eras, not sure if thats in the MTW2 folder or it's own folder, but you should have a temp folder containing your battle.rpy file
3. copy the battle.rpy file (this is a replay of the last battle you fought).....
4. paste the file into the proper replay folder...... each mod (including vanilla) has a individual replay folder..... if it's a Kingdoms Crusades scenario replay, it'll have to go to that mod's replay folder, you can, after inserting into the proper folder...rename the replay.
5. boot up in the mod the replay is on, and watch.
6. unfortunately unlike the battle replays of a normal game, with scenario or campaign battle replays you don't get to view the after battle stats...only the replay itself is viewable.

All this is based on MTW2, but from what I know, all these total war games and mods run along the same lines

Hope this helps, and hope the see ya in the game.

Nice try - but this doesn't work for campaign battles for RTW games.

I picked up a file from the temp folder and it was an old custom battle (from a while ago - I hadn't saved the replay so that's why the file was there).

With campaign battles there is no option to save the replay as there is no temporary file to convert.

Shame, but true.
