Flashback actor replay
by david_629
Flashback actor replay gives Flashback timeline recordings controllable actors, so a single replay can hold several performers.
What it does
Flashback actor replay lets a replay world hold several controllable actors, each recorded on its own timeline track. The recorded performance covers movement, view rotation, jumping, sprinting, sneaking, attacks and item use. Every actor keeps its own inventory, hotbar and gear, covering armor, offhand slots, weapons, tools and items from other mods, and the camera can be set to first-person or third-person while recording.
The mod is aimed at video creators, animators and machinima makers who want to build multi-character scenes alone, by recording one character at a time and playing them back together in the same replay. Edited recordings can be trimmed into action clips on the selected actor's track. The mod runs on the client and the server, so both sides need it, and it requires Flashback, which has to be installed separately. Files are published for Fabric only, for 1.21.1, under All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.
Key features
Multiple actors per replay
Several actors can be recorded and played back in one world, each on a separate timeline track.
Independent actor data
Each actor keeps its own inventory, hotbar and equipment, so one performer's gear does not affect another's.
Action editing
Recorded actions can be cut into clips, and timeline edits are written back into the Flashback replay archive.
Separate project file
Actor data is stored in a .farp project file next to the replay, and the file is loaded again when the replay is reopened.
