"S" for "Slow Motion" during a replay won't work?

[Magellan]

Hi all

First some technical things that may be relevant, about my version of WA and my computer in general.

I have the latest version of Worms Armageddon (forgot the number). However my CD from 1999 broke a long time ago so I am now playing using an ISO (virtual CD drive) on my PC. I am running windows vista, so I have to kill the "explorer.exe" process before I run WA if I want to see all the correct colors and palettes.

First, when I press R to force a replay, it almost never works. :/ (especially if it was a massive shot that killed like 40 worms). Second, when a replay DOES work (or when it is automatically brought up by the computer), if I press S for slow motion, it used to work a long time ago with my 1999 CD and an older version, but now it simply STOPS the damn replay... Like a "pause".... If I HOLD the "S" key, it will flow, but at normal 1.0x speed... How do I watch slow motion??

Also once I press "S" and freeze the Replay, pressing space to call it off doesn't work, I have to sit through all of it, but it's frozen, so I have to keep holding "S" until the end.

Does anyone have this problem?

No clue here, R is for restarting the replay.

By using S you can watch your replay frame by frame. If you want to bring its speed back, just press 1.

Cool, is that a new feature? I didn't know. I've had WA for way too long, but of course I didn't play for all this time, and now that I'm back at it I'm facing all this new stuff.

So how do you view in slowmotion, say, x0.4, without having to be holding S to go frame by frame?

Shift + 1-9

I recommend you to read the "WA_Readme-3.6.29.0_Beta.rtf" file found in the main directory of worms installation.

•   Replays (both instant-replays in offline games, and automatic game recordings): (introduced in v3.6.19.7, improved in v3.6.19.17, v3.6.24.1, v3.6.23.0)
•   To pause playback, press S.
•   To step one frame while paused, press S.
•   The playback speed can be controlled with the top number keys 1 – 9. The progression is geometric in pairs: the keys correspond to 1×,1.5×,2×,3×,4×,6×,8×,12×,16×.
•   Holding 0 allows setting higher coefficients: pressing 1 – 9 while holding 0 corresponds to 24×,32×,48×,64×,96×,128×,192×,256×,384×. The speeds are, however, limited to the processing capacity of your machine.
•   Holding Shift while pressing a speed key or key combination will slow down playback, otherwise it will be speeded up.
•   To set a "bookmark" at the current position during playback of a game recording, press M. When using "Playback at", the game sets the bookmark at the specified position and fast-forwards the replay until the position is reached.
•   To rewind an automatic game recording to the current bookmarked position, or to the beginning of the replay file if no bookmark has been set, press R.
•   To clear the bookmarked position and restart playback from the beginning, press Shift+R.

THANKS A LOT van!! That was a great reply. Stupid me, didn't read the readme.
