BloodsPilot Replay
When playing, you can make a recording of the game for later viewing. BloodsPilot uses the XPilot recording format, XPR. To view such files, you need a replay program. In BloodsPilot, the name of this program is bloodspilot-replay.

Making own game recordings
When you have connected to a server using BloodsPilot Client (X11), version 1.4.0 or later, you can toggle recording on or off by pressing the F12 button on the keyboard. The recording will be saved as bloodspilot.xpr. If you want to keep the recording you should rename it to make sure it is not overwritten the next time you record. Optionally, you can compress it using e.g. gzip. BloodsPilot Replay can replay files compressed using gzip or bzip2.
