Merge replay?

[vanz]

A stupid question. Can I merge a replay?

As I'm a newbie, I often save make save to capture a progress during a game. I have less sense to guess when will enemy attack me, how intense, and from which direction. So it's always late for me to being prepared. Whenever I lost, I quit the game and play the last saved, if it's possible to make a better preparation.

The problem is, when I play the replay of my last section of the game, the replay starts from the 00:00:00, and shows that I was doing nothing there until I loss. Instead of showing my cheatfull victory, it makes its own story accordingly.

They are text files so in theory you can.

Yeah it is logical that this happens, but not from a user viewpoint who may think a replay is a "video" of a game. I have opened an issue to fix this at #8230. Thanks for the report!

For years I've been told "theoretically yes" but no-one ever was able or willing to elaborate. Just having a franknfile in my saves made the game crash. Maybe it's more robust now, but just in case know that you have to delete it from outside the game.

Okay. So this is still an issue. And, thank for your effort.
