Online Replay Vault: Map

[Farmsletje]

If you want to search for a player in the replay vault you can just type in a part of the name and it will show you all usernames with that part in their name. The map search however needs the exact name of the map which can make it very hard and frustrating to find the map.

As an example:

If you want to find alegnagyobbjoeifjwpe (or something) you can type in "aleg" and you'll see all the games in which aleg played.
But if you want to find hilly plateau you have to type in "Hilly Plateau 5v5 v2" or something and it'll only show you the replays of 1 version. If you just type "hilly plateau" you will get 0 results.

Can the map search function be made the same as the player search function?

Downlord has a working implementation for querying replay via his new java API.
This has way more options than you asked for. But it will take some time.

/me throws cookies at Downlord for working faster

Also just now i noticed that when i search in players for 'dave' i get a lot of names like 'DaveSan', 'Daveninja', 'StabbyDave' etc, but none of the games of the daves from com clan (dave0, dave1, dave2, etc) are featured. I know we just renamed and that might have some influence but that already was like 3 days ago.

Did you try with latest release of downlords client? (I didn'T check )

The API is ready. Examples:

Code: Select all

https://api.dev.faforever.com/data/game?include=mapVersion,mapVersion.map,playerStats.player&filter=name=="Dev%20test";mapVersion.map.displayName=="Open*";featuredMod.displayName=="FAF*";playerStats.player.login=="Brutus5000"
https://api.dev.faforever.com/data/game?include=mapVersion,mapVersion.map,playerStats.player&mapVersion.map.displayName=="Open*";featuredMod.displayName=="FAF*";playerStats.player.login=="Brutus*"

But you need a nice client to make the data readable.

Well no, because i dont use the client :D

Even if it has the option i still think it should be added to the main faf client because there is no reason not to have it. Also switching clients would make me lose all my chat logs + its quite annoying and should be unnecessary in the first place.

Try to use the asterisk for the part of the map name that you dont know/care about

for example:

Code: Select all

Map: Adaptive*


will return all replays on adaptive maps (at least the most recent ones)
