Awesome stuff Pattogo! Works great! Guess I need to increase my apm relative to these people that keep beating me;)

That's cool, I have been thinking about it would be nice to make a build order analyzer where you have
- stats on number of factories, engies, tanks, reclaim, mass income, energy income
- figures at 1min, 2 min, 3min, 4min, 5min

That way you could measure which build orders are more effective (ie: who has more tanks).

I hadn't thought of it until now but that could turn uber, if this was integrated into FAF, we could gather the statistics when the replay is submitted, and allow the replays to be searched by stats obtained by the tool. For example, show me every replay on Canis River ordered by Number of Tanks Produced at 3 min. If you were the type of person who watches lots of replays to find good build orders for specific maps, surely that would make it much easier.

Anyway, this is cool, I'm going to check out the code

May I ask how you figured out how to parse the replay file format?

It was described by a GPG dev a while ago in the GPG forums.

you can read about the format in those topics:

you cant tell how much tanks a player have at min 10, you can only tell how much he queued up.
if you want to know why, read this: http://www.altdevblogaday.com/2011/07/0 ... f-desyncs/

Why would synchronicity and determinism of the engine disallow computing the amount of built tanks from a factory given the command stream?

It would be quite some work to excavate all the relevant formulas from the lua code and replicate the simulation, but I don't see why it can't be done.

Desyncs would mean that different players have different states yeah, but you could see that from the commandstream.

As for the latency regarding which beat a command is executed in, I assume that replays contain the agreed-upon command to be executed in the agreed-upon beat -- otherwise replays would differ significantly depending on which player it came from.

For my idea, you dont need to replicate the sim, you just make a mod that reports the info that I want. Then you simply have to play each of the million replays at +10 and collect the results.

Yes and only 38 years later you can enjoy the results...
