    If this is possible, could someone explain how to do it? I haven't be able to get the mod name from the server so I can't even make a client mod that filters the replays by mod. This would really help server mod creators by letting us:
    • Estimate the popularity of our mods to see if it is worth continuing development
    • Watch games to identify areas where balance needs to be adjusted
    • Learn which players are interested in our mods so that we can talk to them directly to get feedback
    I think people that like playing server mods would enjoy being able to filter replays by mod, too. Even people that don't play mods would like this because they would be able to filter mods out and never see them.

    Well so far server mods tend to break replays, don't do?
    Replays with rescale for example don't work at all, they crash the server.

    Hm, strange. At least some mods do work in replays.

    Well yeah I guess something rescale does break something.
