How to record Warcraft 2 games? Can view other players, forward, fast forward...

You can record and replay games with War2Insight, I don't think it allows rewind though. See the readme inside the program.

105RC2 is the latest version compatible with all versions new and old, but not older versions of Widescreen/HD.

105RC2_HD (attached to this post) compatible with older versions of War2HD (if you launch from Warcraft_II_HD.exe, use this)

If you want auto record record try War2InSight104AutorecordStarter.zip, it may work with the latest HD(launched from Warcraft II BNE.exe), but not older versions.

Does it record sound?

[Buttercraft]

It's not a screen recorder, it records multiplayer games into a replay file (.wir) that you then play back in War2 (bnet).

You replay the game as an observer and are granted full vision of each player, or, if you want to see the game from one teams perspective select a unit/building from one player and hit INSERT for team vision.

Does it record chat?

[Buttercraft]

No, why don't you download some replays and try it out

1) Logon to any bnet server

2) Load up the replay file (alt+tab and hit open replay in War2Insight, then click view replay)

3) Create a game, select the map the game was played on, set game type as Meele and tick Fixed Positions (and set a game password)

4) Set the exact number of "computer opponents" listed at bottom of the War2Insight window, this changes per replay depending on the number of players.

5) Start the game.

If you are instead looking for some kind of first person video recorder, there is this

And there is WarVideo, both of which I know nothing about

[Winchester]

Warvideo will record the chat lobby and the chat-in game but only show the perspective of the person whos recording it, and not require you to load up the game in order to watch it, but there will be no sound. Insight will grant you vision of everyone, show their resources and progress on training units/tech and have sound as if you were an observer in the game yourself, but requires you to open up the game and do buttercrafts method to load a replay.

It cannot record games with computer opponents?

[Buttercraft]

No
