[CoH2] Replay Mod

Replay Mod is a mod for Company of Heroes 2 which improves Replay playback by adding additional UI. It can also be used for recording shout casts and streaming replays, like Sunday Night Fights.

Feature list:

• Additional Resource Bar, shows enemy resources. Updates if you switch to spectate another player.
  
• Stats overlay: Displays selected player's commander, infantry killed, vehicles killed, buildings killed, infantry lost, vehicles lost, buildings lost, full squads lost
  
• Intended to be used with 1v1 replays only.
  

Screenshot:


As you can see in the image, a new resource bar is added alongside with faction icons. Replay Mod supports mirror matches.

Another feature, which is disabled by default, is stats overlay, which is visible in the top left corner of the screenshot. You can enable this feature by adding a launch parameter "-rm_stats". Example:

..RelicCoH2.exe" -mod replaymod -rm_stats

The overlay will be visible when ever a player HQ is selected. It will display stats of the owner of the selected HQ.

Cooooool

cool shit

live shows are gonna love this shit. to bad you cannot do th same with commanders.

Wow! Just wow! This looks awesome! It would turn EPIC if you could somehow do the commanders/units aswell. It would probably be cluttered unless it somehow looks like the casts done by ATR3UH.

Keep it up!

Great job man!

Awesome ! just tried it for the first time

da BOMB! Such awesome work.

Nice work, i like to see that people like you invest some time and create mods like this to add missing stuff.

I made myself some kind of overlay for CoH2 Podcasts. This includes the Commander of the other Player. It just and idea but maybe you could do the same with your mod? No idea if this is possible.

Here is an example how it look like:

Commanders are a bit trickier. I'm able to detect the chosen commander but not the 3 pre-selected ones. At the moment it is not possible.

Fantastic!

So I have a few questions. My game is on steam an none of it is in the standard locations. I want to do the gui for steam method, but Every time it tries to load it fails. When I extract the folder, is there a specific place I need to put the files? I moved them to my CoH2 file and typed in -mod replay mod. What am I doing wrong?

This no longer works and most likely never will.

So where do you get the UI that the RnP guys use?

Ask them.

How are you intercepting the game generated data such as kills or damage?
