I get that, and there's a few ways of recording this, neither of which involves the game display engine. But ultimately, it translates this into instructions for the game engine. Given that there are models, one should be able to turn those instructions into a properly configured Unreal Engine. But it'd require a lot of work on trying to understand/reverse engineer the replay save format (like the basic data structure(s) saved). Which is possible, but hard slog unless one gets lucky.



So I'm not surprised it wasn't done, but if I don't ask..
