I was just wondering, would it be possible to make a WA replay app for an android phone making it possible to open replays and watch games on your phone?
I notice as all downloads you can either "open with" or "save file as", so I think it would be cool if it was possible to somehow make an app to play replays on your phone.
Obviously I know you must have WA installed to watch replays, just wondering if there is a way around this?
-
I still have an old school nokia, so im not sure. But im sure one of them windows phones would be able to install the full WA and be able to play and watch replays. Those windows phones are like little pc`s arnt they ?
-
Theoretically I think you would need W:A files on your android, then convert replay to gif or video and watch it.
Practically you will need an app to convert W:A replay file into gif/video ("Export Video..." function in pop-up menu)
-
i'm pretty sure the developers could make an app for androids/Iphone/etc... but it might take a while.
-
Source code or reverse engineering is required ;)
-
I think about this for ages. I don't think converting is necessary. Just recoding W:A Engine to Android to run replays but it's not easy. And I doubt coders have time for it. If only Team17 cared about this game. <.<
-
Can't blame them when there would be only a few hundreds maybe using that feature. After all it's a company that wants to make money.
-
I just got off the phone to M3ntal who works as an app designer, I asked him if it's possible to make an app for this, he said no.
-
Here's a suggestion for the name of the replay app: "Wormywood Video". That would be a good name.
-
Yeah that's an amazing name. Did you read the previous post?

I read it. Hopefully, somebody will make it.

Nothing is impossible but yeah, seems like it'd require whole lot of work to implement the idea.

Playing a replay file and a real live game is basically the same. Implementing replay playback is almost the same as implementing the entire game, minus controls and networking.
-
Yes, replay = map + commands.

Why not just allow people to record replays as special video files called .WAVideo? It would be a format that would require a specialized app that could play it (although if it gets REALLY popular, VLC might be able to play it). It would be simple: Just record the screen and put in a few optimizations, and then put it into a video file, and voila! You've got your video file, ready to play on any device with the compatible codec!
