Warcraft 3 Replay File Format Documentation

General Discussion
1

Hi there,

I’m wondering if the developers of Warcraft III would be willing to share the documentation around the format of Warcraft III replay files. It looks like there have been efforts in the past to decode and document these files, but as far as I can tell that information is now out-of-date for current replay files.

I think this would extremely beneficial for the Warcraft III community, and would allow us to build some great tools/features/analysis. In my particular case, I’m interested in parsing replays to track item drops (players often make remarks about having “bad item luck” or “great item luck” and I think it’d be interesting to have some hard data to back up or refute those remarks). But there are so many great things the community could do with this data if we had proper replay file documentation from the developers!

Thanks very much

You make half sense. server ports are’t open. so what your asking is’t possible.

Use wc3stats . com it’s a replay parser/crawrl.
You don’t have to keep the software uptodate and there are other benifits like rankes ect if you want them.
Use MMD to track items
