RPL Viewer (Android/iOS)
Ok this is kind of a big thing.
I love to scroll to the forums with my smartphone from time to time.

And what I would love to have is a replay viewer so I can watch and comment replays where ever I am.

I think this would enhance activity in the community and be a whole lot of fun at the same time.

That'd involve a 100% perfect port of entire game being put on phones

Exactly. Time for our devs to show why they are torilegends

What if you could convert .rpl files to mp4 files? You would be able to watch the replay, but be unable to move the camera.
I don't give a flyin' fladoodle
if this was ever implemented, the .rpl will have a really low frame rate depending on your phone RAM. Making this happen is difficult but who knows.

Replay files only have details of set turns & specific events, everything that happens in between is handled by the game engine.

Without a full 1 to 1 version of the game you'd get a slide show (providing you made a way of converting the .rpl to images), and that slide show would only be for the specific frames saved in replays.

So for example a multiplayer replay would be a slide show of every turn + every time something gets dismembered/fractured.
To put that in context, a full TK match without dismemberments would be a 12 image slide show.

It would have to be a 100% perfect version of the game to do it properly, otherwise the replays wouldn't play correctly - much like old replays don't play correctly in newer clients due to the engine changes (and of course new ones often don't work correctly on older clients).

SkulFuk: on a scale from pokemon X to Dark Souls, how difficult would making a phone port be?

the only way i can see this working is if the replay is RECORDED and saved as an mp4 or something. you wouldnt be able to move it while watching so keyframes and whatnot would be a necessity. This way of doing it is far more reasonable for both the phone, devs, and computer recording it. If this is REALY wanted this is the only way i can see it working.
