base_tsa: Allow "translation" of replay file names #2

Open nmlgc opened 10 years ago

nmlgc commented 10 years ago

Modders usually want to change the game in more drastic ways than translators - adding new dialogue scripts with new text boxes, modifying danmaku scripts, or even changing parameters of shot types. All of these break existing replays recorded on the unpatched game. This would require players to closely keep track of the patches used for each replay.

By allowing patches to change the replay file name format used by the game, we easily eliminate this confusion.

The straightforward solution would require location of the replay format strings, and probably a new safe sprintf hack for each game. Automatically constructing such a new pattern from the patch stack might also be worth a thought.

Completion status (the list entries for all the ZUN games will be added as I go)

(bump?) scorefiles too

Probably better to just change the savedata folder instead for DS+.
