World of Warships Tips

How to enable replays


With thanks to Wargaming for the official instructions

The following steps will enable replays in World of Warships with tailoring to OS X.

1. Close World of Warships
2. Go to ~/Documents/World_of_Warships
3. Backup the "preferences.xml" file.
4. Open the original (not backup) "preferences.xml" file using a text editor.
5. Scroll to the bottom until you see the following lines:
</scriptsPreferences>
    <consoleHistory />
</root>
6. Add two lines within the root block:
<isReplayEnabled> true </isReplayEnabled>
<ReplayCameraUpdate> 30 </ReplayCameraUpdate>
7. So that it now looks like this:
<isReplayEnabled> true </isReplayEnabled>
       <ReplayCameraUpdate> 30 </ReplayCameraUpdate>
 </scriptsPreferences>
    <consoleHistory />
</root>
8. Save the "preferences.xml" file.
9. On the next launch, all battles will now record a replay.

All replays will be stored in ~/Documents/World_of_Warships.

To launch a replay, ensure that World of Warships is closed and then drag and drop the replay onto the World of Warships icon.

Replay controls:

'PageUp' & 'PageDown' for playback speed control
'Home' for normal speed
'End' for pause (which is actually x100 slower speed)
'LMB' for toggling camera direction between 'free' and 'recorded'
'>' & '<' for fast-forward & rewind (can be used together with 'Ctrl')

Note that replays may not be compatible with future versions of World of Warships.

Note that replays can take considerable space on a computer, be prepared to clean out the replays folder often.
