Simultaneous movement buggier than turnbased?

[PvK]

I think you just have to never press the button that shows the replay for every ship. Otherwise, with 100+ ships, you will see the replay 100 times, or something, IIRC.

Last time that happened to me was like Version 1.49, I reported it to MM at length, and unless I'm mis-remembering, I think I've been afraid to press that button ever since.

As long as you press the other play button (and don't do PBEM/PBW with multiple computers without loading the previous turn first), I don't think you'll have a problem. Or at least, I haven't had that problem since way back then.

Does the movement log work in a simultaneous game these days. I am in a game using a mod and I copied the log file that came with the turn into the saved game folder, the game folder and the mods save and game folders and when I click on the movement replay it just says "movement log replay is unavailable". The reason I want to see the replay is to see if another ship moved into an opaque storm.

I dont use it unless I REALY have to. it takes such a loooong time.
why didint he just have fleets move as one unit???

The movement log should work fine if you played the previous turn on the computer you are trying to play the log from.

Fyron, could you elaborate with a bit more technical stuff. every turn I play is on the same computer. I keep a copy of every turn I download zipped in a folder for each game I play.

eg. se4\savegame\gamename\gamename1.zip etc.

some games have the info for everything like player1_events and player1_stats. Most don't. When I want to replay combat I copy the combat file to the root savegame folder. Are you saying I need a file from the previous turn plus the current turn?.

editns out placing pointy brackets on each side of a word makes the word not appear.

How the movement log ('play all' part anyway) works is that it will play the movement for the entire system the ship is in, but it does this for every ship you have.

So if you have 20 ships in one system, you will see the movement log for that system 20 times, and so forth throughout your empire.

It's a rather confusing way to do things, but it kinda maybe makes sense if you try hard enough to come up with a reason for working that way.

I don't know if I am going on a misunderstanding or not. I want to run the log so I can watch a system and see if someone else whose ship was there before, has left the system or if they moved the ship into an opaque storm in the system.
