INP file measuring formula.

Post by kernzy »

hi gents,
is there formula for telling how long an INP file is just by it's size?
i need to know how long a gameplay is, but i don't have time to play it back and time it, as it's about 15 hours long.
cheers guys.

Prior to 0.129, you can tell by file size (still varies from version to version), but later INPs are compressed which makes that difficult without knowing how many frames long it is, and the frame rate (this you can get from the game info screen). Hard to do without playing it through. 200,000 frames is (very) roughly 1 hour.
