Is there a way to review all of your previously played games

When a game ends, it continues on the server for maybe 7 days, then becomes deleted in the bit bucket. After that then there is no way from within NP2 to review your previously played games.

However . . .

@Qwerty has created a tool that allows you collect in-game data from the current tick, and he also created a way to store game data if you are able to create a CRON job, but I do not know how that works.

API to access public galaxy data

update → API 2.1 Due to issues with old hosting, here is new link: NP API old website https://cqproject.net/ new website https://qwerty.xyz/ BTW, I have improved the code and documentation a bit and I also added SSL (https) certificates for security. Now you can safely use your own login credentials to query your own fleet and star data! Just keep in mind that I could read your password, so use a unique one! API 1.0 http://nptriton.cqproject.net/ new url: http://nptriton.qry.me/ It return…

I previously provided some extra explanations here.

After accepting victory

1 Jay has a to-do wish list to build that capability. I make a lot of screenshots, centered on each home star, zoomed in enough to see good information. One day I will learn to use GIMP and stitch them together. 2 @Qwerty has a web tool that will snapshot game data of the current tick. I copy and paste into a Windows Notepad. It still needs parsing to be friendly for reading. 3 @Dysp has a web site tool that will accumulate game data. He and Jay worked together on this. …

@Dysp created a tool that allows you to accumulate game data if you are diligent to generate an API code during each tick for which you want to capture game data.

New: Javascript code to gather Galaxy Screen data as text!

Try the tool created by @Dysp . First you must register an account with his tool. Second when you want to record one tick of NP2 game data, shortcut key “O” goes to Options, click “Generate” button and read the API code. Then plug in the API code into Dysp’s tool.

He has made some updates into his tool capabilities, but I have not yet learned how all that works.

Game Replayer

Thanks everyone for the help. I’ll see about making those changes. Meanwhile I did first version of map editor, which is compatible with the NP2. It is available for registered users only, but next on the list is map viewer where everyone can check out maps made by others. Check it out at http://np2stats.dysp.info !

@olus2000 has recently started to develop a game recording capability.

Make a timelapse of your game

I have just finished version 1.1 of a webpage that can record your NP game and render a timelapse of it. It works for most game types, though it doesn’t handle customizable colors of Proteus or irregular ticks of turn-based games. https://olus2000.pl/nptimelapse You just need to give it a game number and an API key and it will start recording. Come, test it and share any feedback or bugs in this topic. If you have any questions regarding how the site works make sure to check out included help …

@Dysp created a tool that allows you to accumulate game data if you are diligent to generate an API code during each tick for which you want to capture game data.

One API code for the whole game was always enough for me. Plus, @Dysp added the capability of auto-updates at a regular interval on his new tool, so it’s basically just one-time effort to record a full game at this point.

What @Trucriot said, please generate only one API code per game and save it somewhere. Generating a new API code will break all your previous API codes, and in the case of my NPTimelapse there is currently no way of adding a new API codes for the same game after the one you registered the game with is invalidated.

Edit: NPTimelapse now allows changing API keys for games.

Hi there! I ended up on this forum with the same question. Luckily, I see here someone provided an extended explanation. Thanks for sharing. I hope it will work great for me.
