Post Editing mod

[Jack5.exe]

could anyone make a mod where you do a normal mission, but when you finish it'll restart the video where you can move the camera around in the game with the mission in progress

could this be possible

It would be a pretty tall order.  As a start on implementation... looking at how the external map view mod works (or worked... haven't heard about it in ages) because it sent a constantly synced version of the game state to a second instance of KSP...  so maybe you could take 'snapshots' at a regular interval and feed them into the game the same way that mod worked?  KSP isn't really built to make this easy.   Save files contain only the data needed to reconstruct a given moment in time... there's a lot of data you'd have to record if you wanted to actually save EVERYTHING for EVERY FRAME of game time.

that would be the wrong way to go about it... you save the starting state of the planets/universe and record your inputs every frame.... theoretically the physics will repeat... that would require less data to record

I'd have no faith in the physics repeating.  Floating point errors abound in KSP.
