Upload your awesome replays!

[Dedas]

Why not share some of those cool replays that are just collecting dust on your hard drive? Glorious victories, tragic defeats or something hilarious, everything is welcome. Let your friends here on the forum enjoy them all. Who knows, it might even be educational.

Just make sure post map and mod name used with the save game.

*runs off to find replays of epic battles...

[Argitoth]

what about posting videos? just click and watch, much more accessable. not everyone can post videos though, but I can.

I have a game going right now where most of the battles are pretty epic.

[Dedas]

Videos are cool but I rather like looking at the little details like scripting and such.

[theenemy]

I have a SP game as Sauromatia right now(damn you Baalz:) and I may post some videos if I get some epic battles.

[Dedas]

Please do! I'm curios! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[Argitoth]

You know I just tried creating a video. it's just not practical. The size of the video is too big. Uploading to YouTube would degrade the quality so much you wouldn't be able to see anything...

[Dedas]

Just upload the save game then. It is much smaller and contains all the details.

[lch]

You don't need to upload the map images for people to look at your replays. They can just copy/rename an existing graphic to have the same name in order to view it. They won't have a usable overview map, but they can watch the battle replays.

[Dedas]

Thank you so much for that neat little trick, Ich.

[Twan]

I have a cruel one.

Ermor is besieging me with this little army.

I send some troops, 2 tartarians and an air queen to weaken them a little.

It worked rather well.

(and the air queen survive)

Ermor anyway storm my fort. But my 35 or so mages inside, some equiped with crystal matrixes, had a rather good round one script...

And, finally, after some more buffs...

(the guys taking more than 1 dammage still serve Ermor)

Casting first in defense is really a too big advantage...

(save attached, need worthy heroes 1.8 and a map called worldofgeometry2.tga to view it)

[Dedas]

Wrathful Skies is now my favorite spell to cast with C'tis!

[Dedas]

LOL! How humiliating!

Psst... who was it? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[Argitoth]

Wazooking, he's been fighting me an Pan for the past 70 turns or something. It's basically 2v1. He's been putting up a good fight. However, the whole time it's been a deadlock between me and Tir because he never attacks me. I try to attack him and he counters it. He attacks me, I counter it.

However, it was just his luck that I started preparing an army that could finally get past his Air Queen's Trapeze + Wrathful Skies. He attacked before I could send out that army, so I just broke siege.

Edit: Twan is so lucky. He won and got the enemy to die in retreat. I was going to do the same thing to Wazooking. However, for some reason, Pan's Ghost Riders command didn't get registered. I watched him IRL put in that command. It might have been that he was switching around items that turn.

Lastly, Wazooking has been so f***in' lucky this entire game, earth assassins killing single important mages with lots of other commanders to choose from, KEY commands not getting registered for one reason or another, etc. Hell yeah I guard all my commanders with those earth assassins running around, but come one, give me a break, I'm shuffling things around everyone once in a while and forget a MINOR detail.

[theenemy]

wait, how do you do to view other peoples turn files?

[Dedas]

1. Create a directory (any name) in the savedgames folder and put the turn file there.

2. Any mods and map file used by the turn file needs to be installed. Alternatively, rename any map to the map named used by the turn file.

3. Start the game and choose "Play an existing game". Choose the one with the name corresponding to the folder name used previously.

4. Watch and/or play on.

[theenemy]

thanks dedas! one more question though: how do you install worthy heroes mod(twan's replay). I downloaded it but the mod has a lot of things that I don't know where to put.

[Argitoth]

pooor pooor little noobie.

theenemy, put mod files in the mod folder.
put map files in the map folder
put savedgame files in the savedgame folder

if you don't know what files go where, compare extentions.

the .dm files go with the .dm files
the .rgb files go with the .rgb files

[theenemy]

thanks argitoth! sorry for being a whiny kid. It's just that I have never installed a mod in dom3 before and I'm terribly terrified of messing up the my game.

[Endoperez]

Mods only affect games started with them enabled, so that won't cause any problems.
