SCFAReplay files ... any way to read that ?

[Auriko]

Has anybody found a way to read old .supremecommanderreplay files or .SCFAreplay ?
Like those replays for example : https://www.gamereplays.org/supremecommanderforgedalliance/replays.php?game=44&show=hof_replays

I launched the steam version to try to open them but ain't working

i surely can
just install the correct game version. also need to put replays in replay folder and launch the vya the ingame replay viewer... tho that one is proably has something to do with FAF+windows10, i used to be able to just open those files with FA.exe of correct version.

Also often needed to remove all mods from mod folder, caues some of them cause issues

I’ve been writing a tool that can decode the replay format and I’ve tested it on .supremecommanderreplay files and it does seem to work.

It won’t let you watch the replay though, just get some information about it and inspect the command stream. You’ll have to rename the replay to .scfareplay atm or the tool will refuse to read it. Hope to change that at some point.

EDIT: The latest version of the tool can detect what type of replay it is automatically. It should work for vanilla SupCom, SupCom: FA and SupCom 2 replays.
