Game replay addon

Image file can be saved only when the script is running - it means you need to be browsing the page for the whole time. So we cannot do that - we need either server-side data or process the log. Since scripts don't rely on server data (well, API only, but API doesn't have this kind of data) we can only analyze the log.

It would be a great teaching tool to see an animated version of the game log. You would enter a game and then click the Play button. The script would display the starting map, then start from the first line and display on the map the actions in each line of the game log, one at a time. Since the log doesn't record troop advance counts, the script would default to displaying only the colors/codes, although if the troop advance counts are recorded on the server, the script could show those as well.

Additional buttons could include standard VCR controls such as Pause, Reverse, Forward One, Back One, Fast Forward and Reverse. Hovering over the map, the left mouse button could trigger Back One and the right button Forward One.

I might be missing something, but doesn't http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/83035 already do this if you click on the 'Action' arrows?

Yes, but it doesn't show armies numbers. But it shows the progress of the game.

Right. I think the original poster already realized that you can't get exact troop numbers, since the logs don't have enough information to reconstruct that data.
