What is a player's toon and id? #48

Closed WhatIsACore closed 7 years ago

WhatIsACore commented 7 years ago

A m_toon object for each player can be found in details.m_playerList. Inside this object is a value called m_id that seems to be a unique number for each player, consistent for the same player across different replays.

At first thought, I assumed it could be the BattleTag of a player, but the two did not match. What is a player's Toon Id, and what is it used for? In addition, is there any way of finding the BattleTags of players in the replay file?

A toon is {m_region}-Hero-{m_realm}-{m_id}, for example 1-Hero-1-234234. I guess the toon can be used to identify the player.

The BattleTags can be found in the replay.server.battlelobby file.

Okay, thanks.
