[APP]: Dota Replay Parser (dw3gParser)

[esby]

This is the new thread associated to dw3gParser.
if the old one can be closed and archived somewhere, it will be good enough.

You should always get the last svn build (rev 1006)

I don't advice you to get the sourceforge version as it is outdated right now.
http://sourceforge.net/project/platform ... _id=179834


For reporting bugs, submitting suggestion use the site on sourceforge

Features:
- Parsing of leaving/disconnecting times.
- Parsing of AFK times and global AFK times.
- Parsing of Chatlog.
- Parsing of heroes, items and skills.
- Minimap ping parsing.
- Trigger parsing including game mode detection.
- End game dota stat parsing.
- Localization available in English, French and German.
- Detection of Gold hack transfer.
- Export of replays to either dota-league, dota-allstars replay site or to custom xml files.
- Watch replay feature that allow to start the game and watch the replay with one click.
- Detection of latency (Can distinguish LC / GGC / Hamachi / DC vs Battle.net type games).
- Detection of items being sold, destroyed or transferred.

It is based on:
* Juliusz 'Julas' Gonera php script, as I started porting his script in delphi.
* the WarCraft III Replay file and actions format description, both by blue & nagger.
* the php parser version of rush (from rush4hire.com) for the dota hero and items parser.
* My own work on modifying the original files and porting them to delphi.

This is still a beta version.
Source code is available on the subversion site of sourceforge:
The licence is gpl v2 compatible.
I am reserving myself the right to add a pizzaware compatibility licence
For those who don't know what it is, it's something like 'send pizza coupon to the developper' if you are happy with the software.


There are some limitations, you should check the readme.txt for more informations.

This thread is for:
* Questions.
* Documentation submission (guides etc.) that could fit on sourceforge.

Now You should use the sourceforge site for:
* Bugs report. (I'd prefer you report on sourceforge
* Possible suggestions. (Please think twice about suggesting something.)

Really nice, though when I mark the "item transfer" it just shows some diffrent numbers. Don't know if it's suppose to be like that or not. (i'm not a technical dude )

[esby]

The numbers are probably the memory identifier that the game used.
Each item has an unique identifier that allows to recognize it.
The problem is that the parser has no way to know what is the link between the identifier and the item type (eg: A circlet),
unless this item has been selected during the game.
It has to be interpreted as 'Players XX sold an item, but the item is unknown.'

I got a question for the various users:
Are there still people that uses the mysql feature or can I remove it?
As It also enhance the executable size and is not practical right now.

I even don't know what the program loads in mysql . Can we custumize it ?

Anyway, I wanna speak about Hero Score.
I would like to know how your program can detects kills & death since I heard all over the web that this kind of actions were triggers, consequently they were not stored in the replay file.

Thanks .

[esby]

the kills & deaths are the results of actions.
There is no way to detect them.
Now dota triggers some end game actions that allow to pass those values.
Thoses actions are the 0x6b actions and corresponds to the storedsyncinteger of the gamecache.
Basically Icefrog filled theses actions with parameter that are retrieved by the parser.

Well, the kills & deaths are recorded, provided that you stay in the game until the Frozen Throne or the World Tree is destroyed, and the replay is saved after that happens.

Are you sure the version on your site: dW3gParser_setup_0.15_999_revision_572_.exe
is newer than this one: dW3gParser_setup_0.15_999_10_050807.exe

?

[Neltharion]

Just try to sort the two numbers you mentioned and I think you will have your answer

dW3gParser_setup_0.15_999_10_050807.exe <-- 05 08 07 ... 05 aug 2007 <-- rev 330 (or near it).
dW3gParser_setup_0.15_999_revision_572_.exe <-- rev 572 <-- 24 january 2008

I guess you have your answers now.

Depends on if the devolper is American becuase then it would be May 08 2007.

;p

I don't like conforming. GO america with your miles, inches, gallons, etc.!!
"Don't conform to the world, that would be its demise"

[esby]

I am not american.
I ain't hiding the fact I am french and living in France.

Well more seriously,
I've put a new build there some days ago. (svn revision 626)

http://esby.free.fr/prog/dW3gParser/

Don't install it over an old version or it will probably not work.
You need to install it to a clean destination.

I am not listing the changes, most are technical since the previous build ( revision 578).
In short words, the executable now rely on a dll (dw3glibrary.dll) to parse the files.
It's more or less a GUI.

Since it links with a dll, there might be trouble with antivirus and possibly vista (untested).
So if some people can test and give feedback I'd appreciate.
