[vJASS] Watching a replay modify saved local files

[lolreported]

I'm using Codeless Save and Load (Multiplayer) - v3.0.1 in order to automatically save and load stats for players in my map.

However, many players have reported their stats are reset after watching replays.

I've found out that the cause is whenever Player 1 in the game saves to the local text file in the replay, the watching player has their file overwritten with the data from Player 1.

I can't remember if this was the case before Reforged, or if it's a bug introduced with patch 1.32.

Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any solid way to detect if the game is in a replay state so I could prevent the save to execute.

Any ideas?

Thanks, will have a look at it. I was under the assumption that replay detection scripts wasn't 100% bullet proof.

I have the same problem, the script doesn't work. @lolreported did you find a solution?

I am using the GameStatus library posted above and change the save file location depending on if it's a replay or not.

Weird, I tried using the lib but it doesn't detect a replay in my tests. Maybe I missed something.

Hm, might be an issue with PlayerUtils? I'm not using that and in your case

set firstPlayer = User.fromPlaying(0).toPlayer()

might return null.
