Map state logging and replay

Postby JimRocky on Mon May 05, 2008 7:22 am

Does anyone know of a way to log the state of the map at each turn? Additionally, with that, a way to then redisplay past turns? It would help with analyzing strategies. You could observe a skilled players plays, and try to determine what went right or wrong with your own. With just the written log it's difficult to visualize the actual board state when reviewing past turns.
Don't forget to spread a little sunshine, and to bring a towel.

There's a map snapshot option in BOB, but you have to work it manually.

If you don't know what BOB is, go to plug-ins and strap-ons forum.

Isn't there something on Lack's To-Do list that would enable this??? Think it was discussed in another thread in the Suggs 'n Buggs forum.

Wow... I just found that feature in the new BOB release. It is awesome! I sometimes use the old <alt> + <prt scr> method if I'm playing fog of war on a large map, which also works well if you print out the maps (be sure to print in color), but no more need for that!

Maybe with all the money you're gonna save on printer ink, you can pony up and kick lack a little $$ for bringing us this game?

Come on, yeti. You don't expect us to pay you for doing something that really helps, do you? Next, you'll be selling "BOB Menu Advertisements" to big corporations.
