Title: Suggestion: Mapshot for replays
Post by: Corujão on February 01, 2022, 09:31 PM
It would be nice to have a command, module or keyboard shortcut to instantly save the current state of the map.
The /map command only does this during gameplay, but it doesn't work in replays (except with the private version of TA)

Because I'd like to be able to reproduce some moves on destroyed maps I've played

Although I assume this suggestion will have low feedback unfortunately, but I insist on posting it

Talking with Corujão, we realized there's a command for what he wanted since v3.8. Just press Alt + Pause during the replay and the map will be saved as PNG playable map from the moment you captured the screen (with the craters and destruction of the game).

Isn't there also a command to type in ingame chat.. Like "/map" or something?
So when someone desyncs, you just save the map how it looked that moment and rehost a game.

Wonderful feature for BnG games.

He was aware of /map, but it doesn't work during replays. He tested Alt + Pause now and it works in replays. But I didn't realize that /map command was so useful, thanks.

Yes, capturing the map can be useful to test some movement or specific shot under certain pixels where the map is. I think many players don't know this or just forget to use it.

Using /map command during game play or Alt Pause Break in replays, the map will be saved in Worms Armageddon\User\SavedLevels\Capture

When you're in game, you can type /map in the game chat. When you're watching a replay, alt + pause/break will do the same thing. Hope this helps ^^

Good life!

It's very simple, you just need to press Alt+Pause, that would be the equivalent of /map when watching a replay (but it works in-game too).
