Watch replays without restarted turns?

Post by YaiHar »

Hello everyone! I love Homeworlds!

Is it possible to skip restarted turns while watching replays?

Thanks!

As far as I know, skipping restarts in the BGA replay will require overhauling the client-server interaction so that restarts are never even shown to the opponent. It's possible, and I have it in mind as a long-term goal, but it will be quite a lot of work.

In the meantime, you can copy BGA logs into this tool and get "Homeworlds Live" format (without restarts).

Then you can import the game record into the Homeworlds Live sandbox for restart-free reviewing.

Would u really want to do that? I think it's interesting to see what options the player was considering before committing to one. It provides insight into what they were thinking.
