"Undefined" error for replays

[DossarLX ODI]

The replay data is there but the replays don't load properly.

Re: "Undefined" error for replays

Is there any explanation as to why it's like this though? Or is it another "lol LD code" thing

Re: "Undefined" error for replays

The original 11250 or so replays had issues that even I was unable to fix because of how old they were. The problem stems from the fact new replays store more info then the older ones like mirror and autofail, it's also in a new format which couldn't be replicated correctly because of how different they were.

In earlier version of the engine I had code inplace to handle both the old and new replays but after 1 year of it in place, I deemed it long enough and removed it.

obligatory lol LD code

Re: "Undefined" error for replays

When I converter over to the current replays from the old format, I wrote a converter to change them over. It wasn't till later that I found out there was a small error in the code that I hadn't seen till it was too late.

So to make up for the conversion error, I had added some really sloppy code into the engine to handle the mistake, but really caused some problems elsewhere.

Nowadays, the code the that was used was removed 2-3 updates ago since it's been nearly a year since they were converted. If enough people request though, I could figure out how to fix them properly ~_~

Edit: lol, ninja'd by my own post which has some details I forgot about here.

That's rather impressive, sir.

Re: "Undefined" error for replays

Speaking of replays...

Now that we can save up to 150 replays... how do we access those replays???

The replays page only shows 1-50, and I don't see any button to see the next page or something

Re: "Undefined" error for replays

Velocity is fixing that, haha.

Re: "Undefined" error for replays

IMO I wouldn't worry about fixing the older replays. Certainly anything that you were capable of at that time (since it's so long ago now) you're at least capable of now, and probably better. So you may want to reevaluate anything which was "worth saving" from so long ago to see if it still is and, if so, just do it again (you know you can)

I've already long since deleted all of my older replays. Why make Velocity do the extra work when it's pretty easy to just do it yourself? (Re-do anything worthwhile. Ignore anything that, to you, is no longer impressive).

Quite simply I don't think Velocity should have to code workarounds for ancient stuff you could probably best by now anyway.
