Replay

Replay

Summary: Replay is a built-in feature of the game client that lets you record your play session as a small, replayable file, then watch it back later using a separate Replay client. It works the same way on every server, since it's part of the client itself rather than something Comodo Party configures.

Recording a Session

  1. Open the Rec panel from the button near your Basic Info window.

  1. This opens a small recording control panel with three buttons: start recording, open recording options, and close the panel.

  1. Click the middle Options button to choose what gets included in the recording:
  2. Basic Info
  3. Equipment
  4. Items
  5. Skills
  6. All Chat
  7. Party Chat
  8. Guild Chat
  9. Shortcuts
  10. You can set a custom filename, and choose whether the client should block duplicate filenames or overwrite an existing recording with the same name.
  11. Hit Start to begin recording. Changing maps does not stop the recording, only clicking Stop ends it.

Info

The finished file is saved as a .rrf inside the Replay folder of your game install directory. The exact save path will also appear in your in-game chat log in orange text after you stop recording.

Watching a Replay

  1. From the game launcher, choose the Replay option instead of the normal login button. This opens a separate Replay client.

Warning

If background music, sound effects, or skill effects are turned off in your normal client, they'll also be off in the Replay client. Re-enable them in your normal client first if you want sound during playback.

  1. A list of your saved .rrf files will appear, pick the one you want to watch.

  1. Playback controls appear in the bottom-right corner of the screen:
  2. Begin / Pause
  3. Speed control (x1/4, x1/2, x1, x2, x4)
  4. Reset
  5. Exit back to the file selection screen

Limitations

Replay files don't store actual video or audio, they store game data (positions, actions, chat) and re-simulate it using your client's sprites, maps, and sounds. This keeps file sizes tiny, but also means playback depends on having matching game assets.

Warning

A replay recorded on an older client will usually still play on a newer one, but a replay recorded on a newer client may fail to play correctly, or at all, on an older one. If your client's assets have changed significantly since a replay was recorded, expect it to look wrong or not load.

Reporting Misconduct

Since a replay captures exactly what happened on your screen, including chat, it can be used as evidence when reporting rule-breaking behavior (cheating, harassment, scamming, etc.) to a GM.

Tip

If you're recording specifically to report something, make sure All Chat is enabled in the recording options beforehand, chat logs are often the clearest evidence in a report.
