Hi

There's a very good tool at http://airlea.nl/kwrt/, which allow players to save their replays semi-automatically. However, I've decided to write my own tool since even the semi-automatic feature doesn't work for me. (and time stamp is all broken for me, which tells me that a replay is played at 48-50-1841 )

Basically the new tool is a KWRT clone with some improvements:

* Automatic replay saving
* Modify/EMBED description into the replay. <- which exploits unused feature of the replay format
* Rename with time stamp, (like KWRT)
* Search replays by player, map, description or replay file name.
* Supports UTF-8. No more unreadable information! (especially on LAN played games people seem to use unusual letters in their name)
** Description is a canonical feature of the replay, don't be too afraid to use it!
** There's a proof you can change it safely. "No match description" you see in the interface is actually the embedded message in the replay. If a German version of the game saved the game, you get "Kein Spielbeschreibung", as shown in the screen shot below.



From v1.4.1, the tool features advanced analysis:
* Actions Per Minute (APM) calculation. Export to CSV or plot it on screen.
* Plot estimated resource spent by players (estimation!!, mind you!). Export to CSV or on screen plot.
* Dump build order of players to text files
* Estimated unit distribution (population graph), CSV or plot
* Dump commands (raw contents of the replay dumped to text, except for the scroll commands)
* Timeline graph (with structures/movements dotted on the minimap image)
* Shatabrick search
* "Also known as" feature will give smurfing users a static nickname of your choice.

v1.5.0 lets you analyze RA3, Tiberium Wars replays!
* Shatabrick search now searches newer records on the Revora server.
* Filter, can filter with logic, similar to Google search. Try searching "gdi and nod", "gdi and (t59 or nod)". Add quotes for literal search, like Google search.
* Better default values for scale/offsets in the time line viewer.
* After mass-renaming functions, replay(s) that containing (Rnd) in the file name may be resolved by right clicking on the replay and selecting "Resolve random". The replay viewer will run deep analysis on the replay and resolve it as (Rnd_Nod) or alike.
* Random resolving + logical search combined will let you search for ST vs Nod smile.gif Useful for researching faction specific builds.

For the plot features, you need gnuplot installed:

Wow, thats actually pretty cool. Good job! I'll let you know if I find any bugs

Sweet, I'll have to check this out.

Wow, finally, so sweet this is what i was searching for years, i know one tool like your and totally different existed and with the automatic replay save and i had it, but i lost it and i really couldnt refind it again

GG

It's working nicely

Can i give you some opignion?
- More option in the renaming would be cool
- Change date&time to [date&time] for better recognization
- Include all name in 1v1-2v2 then for +5p the way you doing is fine (and betwen include a "vs")
- Name of the local player should be displayed to avoid confusion when like in tournament everyone upload his replay (as for 2v2 it look like "player2 vs player 3 player4")
- One instance only

Keep up the good work

Peace

OK
Those improvements all look nice, i'll get them into the program in the next version

I'm waiting for it with impatience

V1.2 is here! https://github.com/forcecore/KWReplayAutoSa...ases/tag/v1.2.0

v1.2 brings many improvements:

* Detect if the program is already running, allowing only one may run at a time
* Time stamp is now surrounded by brackets ([]) by default
* Time stamp format can now be customized
* Better player information extraction:
* Faction information can be added
* Includes all player names in 1v1 and 2v2 games such as "[2014-06-02T1401] BoolBada (Nod) & spc (BH) vs MacroHard (GDI) & FallingBirdNoWings (R17)"
* Selecting multiple replays allow batch renaming in the replay manager

Yeah so good, it's awesome

I download and try

E: Oh yes, it's well done. Adopted

Feedback :
- Replay manager still open others instance, i should have mention it to you last time
- Also, in going to continue feedback, does it can work on tiberium wars too? with only one instance of the replay auto saver? and maybe ra3 too? not sure if it can be compatible
- An .exe installer can be welcome too(im fine with the zip)
- Show minimap and even on 1.02+ version? this one i think it gonna be hard as new release can come a day
- oh can you make in replay manager a re-sizeable line betwen the players list, and the replays listed below, i have tons of it, i wanna have a better look on all them, if you can, i dont want to charge you
- can you class them by number of players by adding after timestamp like a [1v1], [2v2],.. and maybe [FFA] ? all that as an option?
- commentator appear with player name, like this player1 vs player2(postcommentator) vs player3
- re add for others maybe the 1p(2p,3p,4p,..) in the renaming option
*Well if you listen to me, you gonna have tons of works ^^'

Anyway at this state, for me, this is good and complete, i didnt had unwanted bug at all

Peace

NB: This have to be pinned !

* short term improvements for the next version:
- Resizable players list is very easy to do.
- The player list generator is smart enough to generate [1v1] [2v2] stamps. I'll put them in as a non-default feature.

* long term improvements for future versions:
- Advanced search features: # of players in the game, maps, multiple conditions with "AND/OR" logic
- Tiberium Wars would be nice, I failed to search TWRT. RA3 replays have very similar format to KW. I can work on these if people want, in the long term. Maybe in December.

There are some issues to discuss before getting my hands on!
- # of replay manager instances can be restricted with ease but I thought it was a feature, to have them show multiple folders! I don't know if restricting is more useful than this.
-- I don't think all of the 3 games can be handled with one instance. But there are some complications here. The last replay file can be monitored wit one instance but, when people launch the replay manager, which folder shall it show? I think one instance for each game is the way to go.
- Minimaps can be done but requires extraction of all map data, seems like too much work for me XD.
- Exe installers will be quite nice for users but it will complicate future versions. To support 3 games, it will require installing the program 3 times!, which installers don't usually support doing that.
- Commentators/Observers can be distinguished and appear with the player names. But I think this information will be too much, possibly overwhelming useful information.

Here you go.


I can assist. It will take a while, but I think it's worthwhile for easier searching and comprehension.

Thanks! I especially need assistance with 1.02+ maps. If you decide to help me, please send me the map preview images through my email = ssanzing at gmail.com

What will be your supported image size and format?

PNG is preferable but I can convert them easily. Size doesn't matter as the program can stretch/shrink them to fit on screen.

Here are the minimaps of all 1.02+ maps (including the new ones of R10). They are 222 x 222 pixels, in JPG format, and they include the start locations as seen in the map selection menu.

@Plokite_Wolf: it would be great if Gamereplays updates their minimaps for all 1.02+ maps too

Edit: This Zip file contains the minimaps at 40p and 120p, with the 1.02+ watermark, in JPG format. Also, there is a txt with the list of the map names as they'll be in the 1.02+ R10 .big files (it's the .map file name, not the in-game display game). That's what I've understood Gamereplays needs to update the minimaps.

OMG the author himself! Thank you very much!

I'm always privlaged to in the presents of the mighty predator. Also them thumbnails will make life so much easyer when I create thumbnails for my videos thank predator.

For the sake of consistency and having a complete replay tool, here are (hopefully) all stock 1.00-1.02 maps by EA/Breakaway. 222 x 222 to match Predatore's format, pure PNG, sorted by supported player number.

Lovely, they have starting points marked ! (unlike the files from KWRT)!
The programming is nearly done, stay tuned!

V1.3 is here! : https://github.com/forcecore/KWReplayAutoSa...ases/tag/v1.3.0
Download maps.zip here: https://github.com/forcecore/KWReplayAutoSa.../tag/map_v1.0.0

* By right clicking a player on the player list, you can search replays involving that player. (Even if the player uses alias / changes name in network games, still searchable)
* Selecting a replay now shows minimap for that game, if you have maps.zip with the replay saver, where library.zip and autosaver.exe are.
** Download maps.zip from here: https://github.com/forcecore/KWReplayAutoSa.../tag/map_v1.0.0
** If a map preview is missing and in maps.zip, the missing file name will be copied to clipboard. (for maps.zip developers)
* Batch deletion implemented.
* Faster replay filtering
* 1v1, 2v2, FFA tag can be added, optionally.
* Player list can be resized to occupy smaller space on screen

I guess I should work on the exe installer in the next version, as the installation now requires maps.zip (which is as larges as the program+library)
