I want to hide some informations during replay

[YoannLevet]

Hi everyone!

I made a puzzle game : gamme logic

And there is a daily challenge.

The problem is if you look at the game replay of a daily challenge puzzle from another player, you can see the puzzle of the day before playing it.

Is it possible to detect the replay mode?

I think it's futile because everyone can do so without using any replay - by playing with their another account first.

If you still want to do that, here is the link: https://en.doc.boardgamearena.com/Game_ ... eful_stuff

Yes, I agree, but it changes a 'very easy to cheat' into a 'not so easy'.

Thank you!

[YoannLevet]

It's not working!

g_replayFrom is only active if you are in the replay mode in a live game.

It's not working for detecting if you are looking on the replay of a finished game!

I will try to test g_archive_mode instead.

Ok, this is working with g_archive_mode!

But...

I detect the finish status in the studio mode but not in production!

I don't understand why...

Yoann

[YoannLevet]

Ok, I finnaly understand.

When you launch a replay, it loads the original js file of the game.

It's why my modifications are not working on old games.

For future games it's working.

I finnaly use g_archive_mode.

Thank you all,

Do you plan to make this also for spectators on running games ?

[YoannLevet]

Yes, in classic mode, a spectator can only view the puzzle if everyone already finish it.

And in Daily Challenge mode, a spectotr can't view the puzzle, even when the game is over.

I kind of like it being there ... at least I can identify players who are such lowlifes that they'd cheat at a solo game to get an ephemeral "award" so that I can preemptively red thumb them.
