Question: AOC_PLAYBACK #56

Closed zorrodg closed 3 years ago

zorrodg commented 3 years ago

Hello! Thanks for putting this parser together. Really helpful. I have a question over something I don't quite understand yet. By reading the code I found out about the env variable AOC_PLAYBACK which I assume is something external to replay recorded games in order to parse record information. How does it work? How do I link this to the CLI so I can get the full information about a match?

Thank you for your help.

Hi there, you're right, that is an external replay tool. Unfortunately it is not publicly available and only works for UserPatch 1.5 (not DE).

Is there any alternative you would recommend to perform a playback for DE matches, or rather any way to gather insights from a DE match from the record file?

aoc-mgz can parse the recorded game file and provide quite a bit of information. This is of course different than playback, which involves memory access. There's no public alternative that I'm aware of.
