Record event markers when playing a replay from a file?

[Robertsmania]

I've been playing with saving/loading the event marker data. One issue that has come up is whether the system continues to try and add event markers when its playing a replay that was loaded from a file.

It used to be that it would always record the markers, but tried not to have duplicate entries in the list. I'm finding that to be actually problematic and in the current release it only records the event markers if it knows its running in a live session.

But it has come up that some people would like to be able to load a replay that they do not have marker data for, run the event and have it set the markers - and then save that data for future review.

We could introduce a configuration variable to control that, but I wonder if the added complexity would just make it more confusing or prone to error?

I did implement this as a feature. There is a variable that gets set in the initialization command:

Set Boolean [RecordMarkersInReplayMode] to False

There is also a command to toggle the property:

Toggle record markers in replay mode

If you do want to use the system to record markers for a replay you load from a file, here are the steps to take:

1. Start VoiceAttack with the plugin.
2. Load the replay file you want to use and cue it up to the start of the session or whenever you want to start collecting data.
3. Pause the replay.
4. Execute the "Toggle record markers in replay mode" command. Ensure that it says the feature is now ON.
5. Play the replay, and best to let it run uninterrupted for the duration of the session you want to record markers.
6. You should see output in the VoiceAttack log about markers being recorded, and that they are coming from a replay.
7. Pause the replay when it gets to the end of what you wanted to collect.
8. Manually execute the "A0 ir2rmreplay - Save Marker Data" command.
9. Execute the "Toggle record markers in replay mode" command. It should say the feature is now OFF.
10. You can now review the markers you recorded either in that session or the next time you load that replay session from disk.
