Replay Formatting for Replay Analysis Tool
Posted: Sat Jul 22, 2017 8:21 pm
Hi first post on this forum so I apologize if this is in the wrong spot or something but I did do some searches and couldn't find this information elsewhere.
What I am trying to do is make a small utility tool that will analyze a replay file and give some information about the playthrough. The first most basic feature I'm hoping to implement is a simple calculation of how long a player spent 'idle'. It's my understanding that this file is basically a list of player actions and the tick that they occur at. Unfortunately I haven't been able to decode any of the information in the replay.dat file. If anyone has had any success in decoding replay files, has some tips for how I might proceed, or other resources they could point me at; I would be very grateful for any help!
