Default Re: Any spectate or replay function for Dom3 games?

OK that wont work. The game would receive the .trn not the .2h so the commands would not be viewable. But in many other ways that still might work. Have to think on it when I wake up later.

Edit: are the formats the same? I wonder what happens if a .2h is copied over a .trn file then delivered from the host.

Tested the 2h to trn thing. Didnt work.
The only way I can see a good spectator thing working is as a pbem thing.

The solution that you came up with can only be implemented locally, not over the network, but it should be possible to do this. It would be OS-dependent, of course, or at least require some scripting language like Python or Perl being installed, and might require a little setup from the user's side, so nothing for computer-illiterates. But the idea should be possible to get implemented.
