[QUERY][REPLAYS] A question about replay naming
« on: March 22, 2020, 09:30:03 AM »
I've noticed that, when playing a level via F12 from the Editor, it gives the replay the same name as the level. Whereas, when playing a level from the player, it gets named by its rank and number.

Is there a way to specify that the replay be given the name of the level instead, when played via the player?

There used to be, but this was culled - I don't recall the reasoning.

NL behaviour is if you're in testplay mode, or playing a (sub)group where the levels aren't ordered, it uses the level name; otherwise, it uses the group name and number.

Could it be re-instated?

I'd have to dig up and find the reasoning. My hunch is that it was simply a victim of the culling frenzy (which will also be my assumption if I can't find an explanation), in which case I'd be happy to reimplement it, but if there were stronger reasons, possibly not.
