How to upload a replay to the site?

Authorization

Uploading a replay

The replay file is located in the game folder, in the "Replays" subfolder.

Competitions

When will gold be awarded for the competition?

KTTS! This may take from a few days to two weeks from the end of the competition.

How to send a replay for OSR or FBR transmission NO COMMENTS?

On the page of the replay you uploaded there is a button "COMPETITIONS/REPLAY MANAGEMENT". Click and you will see the “FBR NO COMMENTS” and “OSR” buttons if your replay is suitable for the competition. Replays older than two weeks and replays that were not completely recorded are not suitable.

How to submit a replay to the VoTReplace competition?

All replays uploaded to the site participate in competitions on the VoTReplace website. True, at any given moment we hold competitions only for a part of the tanks. But all replays with these tanks are included in the competition. You just need to upload the replay.

Problems with replays

No information about the fight

If you leave before the end of the battle, the replay is not completely recorded. You can view it, but you cannot download information about the results of the battle from it. And it is also impossible to check whether the results of the battle have been falsified. Therefore, information is not downloaded from such replays and they cannot participate in competitions. We don’t write videos for them either!

How to delete a replay?

Go to the replay page and click on the "CONTESTS/REPLAY MANAGEMENT" button. Please note that you cannot delete a replay sent to OSR or FBR NO COMMENTS programs if the replay has already been reviewed by the moderator.

The file is not loading

We are very meticulous about what is uploaded to our site. Therefore, you can only upload replay files and only if they are recorded correctly. Unfortunately, in the game World of Tanks there is a very difficult to detect and rarely reproduced bug, when even a replay recorded to the end turns out to be recorded incorrectly. This can be understood if the file size is significantly larger than 1 megabyte. Such replays cannot be uploaded to us either.

How can I watch a replay of an outdated version?

To view a replay of an outdated version of the game, use the appropriate version of the client:

How do you choose replays for video recording?

We have launched an automatic video selection process. First of all, we select the replays of the winners competitions WoTReplays. And then we focus on the following criteria:

• Replays uploaded by players of top clans. In this case, the battle is victorious, the “Master” class badge is received, 4 or more opponents are destroyed. Such fights are often useful and interesting to watch. The list of clans may change and be supplemented depending on the situation in the game;
• Replays from players who have played more than 5000 battles and have statistics wn8=2500 or more. Additional conditions: the battle is victorious and the “Master” class badge is received;
• Replays from players who have played more than 10,000 battles and have wn8 statistics from 2400 to 2500. Additional conditions: the battle is victorious, the “Master” class badge is received, 4 or more opponents are destroyed;
• Replays from players who have played more than 10,000 battles and have wn8 statistics from 2300 to 2400. Additional conditions: the battle is victorious, the “Master” class badge is received, 6 or more opponents are destroyed;
• Replays from players who have played more than 15,000 battles and have wn8 statistics from 2200 to 2300. Additional conditions: the battle is victorious, the “Master” class badge is received, 7 or more opponents are destroyed;
• Replays that were included in the selection on the site, but selectively;
• Replays sent by our participants

First you need to go to the forum (http://forum.worldoftanks.ru/) and log in or register, if you are unregistered, after this registration or authorization procedure you should find the fourth sign with the inscription GAME, there you must select the item RECORD BATTLES, have chosen and take the next step.

Step 2

The arrow shows where to click

Next, we select the second topic “Best replays of the week”, where you will post your best replay in your opinion, where you fight, defeat the most powerful enemies on your map, shoot accurately, and maybe even destroy an opponent’s tank at a long distance with a random shot, hitting it right in the battle setup, where one is against an armada of tanks and you defeat them, where one discovered many tanks and received a scout for this, you can list many moments that occur in the game, but let’s return to the sequential steps. For the release where there are three dots, there is the transmission number (...) we find, click and do nothing else here, but move on to the next step of our instructions.

Step 3

This is what the QUICK REPLY window should look like

Then we go down to the very bottom where there will be a QUICK REPLY sign and there we draw up our replay, which you liked from your fights and battles, format it and click send. And most importantly, if you format the replay incorrectly, it will not be considered, but if it is correct, then it will be considered. And how to properly format a replay for broadcast is written at the very beginning of the topic! so you need to format the replay correctly. And after that, the whole complicated operation (or maybe even rather not very complicated, even, say, very easy) the operation of adding a replay is ready, all you have to do is wait and hope that you won, and that your replay will be the best of replays, and you definitely you will win, I know =)

• How to properly format a replay is written at the very beginning of the topic!
• Only one replay can be submitted or you will be banned!
• There is no need to send just good fights, they should be shared on the forum, otherwise they will be banned!
• If there is no QUICK REPLY window, then the topic is already closed and the videos have been selected for transmission or you are not logged in. Or you will have to wait for a new topic.
• If you don’t understand how to add, write in the comments and I’ll help.

Often the game World of Tanks brings unexpected victories and disappointing defeats. Many tankers try not only to get a lot of experience and silver for the battle, but also to be awarded a special medal. There are few main rewards in the game, and they are not easy to achieve. But every player strives for this.

OSR

Not many tankers follow the game at all. Some people just jump into the game and enjoy it. But there are also those in the community who watch World of Tanks and search the Internet for guides, as well as other videos and articles.

One of these training projects was OSR with Kirill Oreshkin. Episodes have been published for more than four years on the game’s official YouTube channel. OSR are the best replays of the week, selected by a team of specialists. Usually this includes battles that were marked by funny moments, offensive tactics, instructive incidents and simply funny battles.

Awards

OSR with Kirill Oreshkin does not just collect the best fights in one collection. Everyone who gets there receives an OSR medal, as well as a certain amount of gold. In addition, the battle of the awarded player will be seen by the entire tank community, which will lead to the popularity of the tanker. Therefore, it is not surprising that many people want to get into OSR.

Analogue

Before we find out how to send a replay to the OSR (WOT), we will learn about one more project. VBR is the Great Belarusian Random, which is a kind of analogue. Previously, by the way, he was also voiced by Kirill Oreshkin, but over time the collection began to be released in the No comments format.

This includes battles that stood out not just because of their unusual or professional gameplay; they often contain replays from battles that were notable for their unusual jumps, falls, bugs and other funny moments. The stupidity and ignorance of tankers is often ridiculed here.

Selection

Many people want to see their fight in the OSR. Not everyone knows how to send a replay, besides, some believe that if a player has done a lot of damage, then he will a priori end up in this show. Actually this is not true. Ordinary bush standing is rarely rewarded. The fight should be dynamic, and also successful and truly swashbuckling.

The wotreplays website was specially created for those wishing to get into the OSR. How to send a replay is written there. This is not difficult to do, but first you need to understand the principle by which battles are selected.

First of all, you need to decide in which category you would send your battle. There are many of them, and they are often associated with major rewards in the game. At the beginning of the collection there are usually several replays that fall into the “Warming up” section. Here you can often find fights with funny incidents, incredible luck or skill.

The “Warrior of the Week” nomination goes to the one who made the maximum number of frags among other nominees. The “Defender” is the one who showed a masterful game, defended his or a neutral base. Moreover, the battle should be such that it seems that the recipient is about to lose.

The “invader” is given to the tanker who captured the enemy base, and either did it very skillfully, or outwitted him, or some funny moment happened. “Sniper” can be obtained for an excellent shot that helped “drag” the battle. “Support” is awarded to the player who was at the very bottom of the list and thanks to whom the allies won.

The “Steel Wall” is awarded to the gamer who, thanks to a masterful game, was able to block a huge amount of damage and lead the team to victory. “Scout” is given to “fireflies” who not only stood in the bushes the entire game and caused a certain amount of damage, but did it by choosing good positions.

If you play in a platoon, then your battle can receive the “Brothers in Arms” OSR award. We'll figure out how to send a replay a little later. In the meantime, you can receive this reward together with a friend, if you were able to win together/three together, and also made the maximum number of frags per platoon.

There is also “Excellence of the Week” - this is a free nomination that can include a player who simply stood out in a non-standard fight, but it is impossible to qualify him for a special nomination.

Decor

If you are sure that your game should be included in the OSR, you will learn further how to submit a replay. To do this, you need to go to a website specially created for this - wotreplays.ru. There you need to authorize your WoT account.

Immediately you will see “Add reals”. You need to click on this button and select the desired video in the folder. It is also worth adding a title and description, in which you can point out special moments or key battles. In “Replay Management” you only need to select the program you want to be in, as well as the nomination.

In the same way, you can send your battle to VBR.

Discontent

Many people know how to send a replay to the OSR program, but they are always unhappy that they cannot get there. If you have just submitted your winning battle, you need to understand that the selection process takes place over a month, so if you did not find yourself in one of the next episodes of the show, it makes sense to wait.

Also, according to Kirill Oreshkin, who is directly involved in the selection of replays, only 1% of the videos sent are worthy of being included in this show. Some players believe that if they received the “Master” and dealt the most damage, then they are already obliged to get into the OSR and win gold. But in practice, as you already know, the selection is very careful, so getting into the program is not so easy.

Those who failed to get into the OSR have a chance to end up in another equally famous program - “Didn’t get into the OSR”. This is where those few fights end up that were a little short of Kirill Oreshkin’s show.

OSR. How to send a replay - basics of the process

First, let's figure it out - what are we talking about? A World of Tanks replay is not a video as such - it is a very small file, a digitally recorded stream of signals that were exchanged between the player’s computer and the server during the battle. This file is stored on the user's device - in the root directory of the game, in the Replays folder.

The file is written to the folder automatically, but only if this function is enabled in the account settings. Particular attention should be paid to the fact that there can be three options: no recording at all, recording every fight or only the last one. The best option, especially if there is not a lot of free space on the computer, seems to be the third one. Otherwise, you will have to periodically clean out the specified folder.

Preparing for publication

Before asking the question “how to throw a replay into an OSR”, you should carefully review it. It is necessary to evaluate it extremely critically and objectively according to the main parameter - did you really do something out of the ordinary in battle? The competition in the “Best Replays of the Week” program is extremely high, and just a successful shot or maneuver does not guarantee you victory in the competition.

Your battle should be truly iconic, as it will be held up as an example to other players. As practice shows, battles most often appear in the program, where the player demonstrates the following: survives to the end, simultaneously destroying several opponents; makes several successful shots in a row from difficult positions; makes non-standard decisions that radically influence the outcome of the battle or change its course.

If you have really created something similar and consider yourself worthy of being nominated for the role of the best in a particular category, proceed to the next point, namely the process of sending the file to the desired address.

How to upload a replay into OSR: process technology

In order to demonstrate his success on the tank battlefields, the player must take the following steps:

Secondly, select the required service called Wotreplays in the menu and follow the link. This is the information repository for OSR - how to send a replay is written here in sufficient detail.

Thirdly, download the selected file by clicking on the corresponding menu item. One feature should be noted here: the service allows you to simply store your records, without publication. And if you decide to definitely try to become a participant in the program, you should check the appropriate box in the “Send to OSR” item before downloading.

Fourthly, after the download is complete, the portal will offer to describe your file and its successful actions. The description should be sufficiently detailed, indicating the time periods to which special attention must be paid. If this is not recorded, the recording will be rejected by the administrators and the story will not be included in the program.

The best replays: what are they for?

Being included in a popular program has several advantages for players.

1. Nominees whose recordings are aired are paid in-game currency (gold, from 1000 to 2500 coins) and are awarded a unique medal. Moreover, it is quite simple - to become a participant in the OSR. How? Send a replay and wait for your lucky chance.
2. This repository of information is truly invaluable. By watching the successful battles of your colleagues, you can learn a lot in terms of gaming.
3. Also, with the help of this service, you can expose a person who shamelessly uses prohibited game modifications: sending a corresponding video indicating violations will interest the administration to pay attention to an obvious crime, and the punishment of the unscrupulous fighter will not be long in coming. In this form it is a very effective tool.

Many players strive, but not every one of them decides to try their hand at becoming an OSR winner. “How to send a replay so that it is accepted?” - this is one of the main questions that often stops fighters from publishing their masterpieces. Don't be afraid. There is nothing complicated or scary about this. But there is an opportunity to receive not only moral satisfaction, but also material confirmation of your exploits.

Good luck to you on the battlefields!
