In replay, don't add Game Menu Galaxy of Fame button
Posted: Tue Nov 11, 2025 8:06 pm
When in the middle of a replay, I'd love it if the Game menu (on ESC) didn't add the "Galaxy of Fame" button after reaching the edge.
During a replay, and before reaching the edge, the Game menu does not include "Galaxy of Fame"; one you reach the edge, the button suddenly appears, shifting around the rest of the UI.
Why? I'm currently using an AutoHotKey script to slice a 12-plus-hour replay into n-minute segments, so I can analyze what went well and what could've been better. The main sequence is basically a giant loop of "sleep then manually save".
Having that button appear mid-replay makes it a good bit more finicky to properly target the save button, as it moves around.
(Ideally, it'd have been lovely if LuaGameScript.auto_save let me initiate a save from control.lua while in replay, without affecting consistency, but that's a bigger ask.)
