Loading from replay

Post by Decimator »

Would it be possible to allow loading from replays? They are always saved, so it would be very useful when a player drops or has sync errors. Perhaps the host could put in the time he wants to resume from and the clients would load the host's replay and run it until they reach the desired point. With graphics disabled, it should be able to run quite quickly so it wouldn't take long to load.

It wouldn't work in its current form, IIRc... there's certain information in the replays that is lost and not stored, so even if you did load, all sorts of things could go randomly wrong.
