How to Enable Replays <Retired>

[dead_man_walking]

DISCLAIMER: DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK. BACKUP INVOLVED FILE!

 

We have a Replay function in the game. However we do not have the necessary interface for it yet - it is still being developed. But since this can help in reporting bugs, here's "how to" enable it.

 

To turn the replays ON:

1. Close the game client.

2. BACKUP preferences.xml file found in the game folder.

3. Open the original preferences.xml for editing

 

4. Scroll until the last lines:

           </scriptsPreferences>

</root>

 

or

    </scriptsPreferences>
    <consoleHistory />
</root>

 

5. Paste these lines before </scriptsPreferences>

​         <isReplayEnabled> true </isReplayEnabled>
        <ReplayCameraUpdate> 30 </ReplayCameraUpdate>

 

6. This is how the result should look like:

         <isReplayEnabled> true </isReplayEnabled>
        <ReplayCameraUpdate> 30 </ReplayCameraUpdate>
    </scriptsPreferences>
    <consoleHistory />
</root>

 or 

         <isReplayEnabled> true </isReplayEnabled>
        <ReplayCameraUpdate> 30 </ReplayCameraUpdate>
    </scriptsPreferences>
    <consoleHistory />
</root>

 

7. Save the game file and launch the client

8. Enjoy the game!

 

To run the replay:

1. Close the game client

2. Find the *.wowsreplay file in the \replays folder inside the game folder

3. After closing the game, drag and drop *.wowsreplay file on the icon of WorldOfWarships.exe

Note: You have to be using the same version of the game. Replays may not work with different versions of the game than was used to record them!

4. Replay controls:

PageUp & PageDown for playback speed control
Home for normal speed
End for pause (which is actually x100 slower speed)
LMB for  toggling between free camera & recorded camera

> & < for fast-forward & rewind (can be used together with Ctrl)

Ctrl+G to hide the user interface

 

 

That is all - good luck and have fun!
