Connect to State in a Replay #7

Closed andrewsilva9 closed 6 years ago

andrewsilva9 commented 6 years ago

Hello!

The python example looks very helpful for connecting to a State and gathering relevant information if I have a functional client and I'm stepping through a game, but is there a way to do this when iterating through replays? Can I initialize a State object in the first frame of a Replay somehow, and then step through the replay with that?

Thanks! (and sorry for contributing so many issues to the project)

Yes, it works exactly the same way, except that you cannot send actions.

Sorry about the late reply

Is it possible to use a State or Client without an actual functioning game client? It seems Client requires a connection to a hostname / port, which indicates an active game client?

ebetica commented 6 years ago

No there isn't, the starcraft replay files are simply a list of commands issued in the game, and require a game simulator. However, there is an existing C++ StarCraft client:
