Btw. why would you need to do that if there are so many FPVODs available now?  | ||

been watching lots of bisu ; however I also want to analyse my own crappy replays switching between free look and player perspective. I think I may have actually found it but its probably crashing due to windows 10 being my new OS yay for upgrades. Pretty sure its HotkeySelector plugin on ChaosLauncher. When plugin is loaded and attempting to select replay on windows 10 its crashing before it loads my available replays. | ||

GTR has it right that it was from penguinplug. The replay had to be recorded as an FPReplay as well, and if I'm not mistaken it could also not capture all actions (such as using F-Keys and some other stuff?). It definitely isn't supported any longer unfortunately. You're most likely better off screen capturing yourself and then watching those fpvods and comparing them to replay. | ||

The one people mentioned in this thread actually added information to the replay file and made it larger. There was another even older one which would work on any replay, but basically it just sort of centered the screen on whatever was being clicked or something like that. I watched a zillion replays of a good WGT Zerg back when it was a thing, since WGT mandated uploading replays of every game. I think it's kind of sad no one after WGT thought it was worth it to get replays for every game, but it did add overhead on the player side. It would like to see it automatically handled by the server some day. There might be a plugin around that still simulates it in current launchers. There's was one launcher which seemed to have everything, including drawing paths on the screen from units to the destination that had been clicked on that was really fun to watch. But it also had viruses and adware iirc which was really lame. It was called AdvLauncher I think. | ||

I used to be a collaborator for WGTour examining replays to spot and ban map hackers all over the world . I am the guy behind hundreds of accounts banned for maphacking.Penguinplug + replays had to be recorded with that pre-installed. I loved that job. It felt so good and so easy to find them. I remember concluding NaDa was using maphack in many games too outside of WGTour, probably for practice purposes. Nobody believed me at the time of course, but after viewing thousands of maphacker games I am 99.99% sure of this. | ||

So, if a player at start was spamming Nexus -> Mining Probes -> Scouting Probe over and over while not sending any commands, it would still jump screen. I wasn't aware Adv had those features, that's very interesting. I think the reason why this isn't being pursued now is because it is more convenient and popular to record your play through a program like OBS or Camtasia or what not. I find the final product to be more user-friendly in the sense that you can rewind and skip freely. Most computers released in the last 5 years at least should be able to handle screen recording and Brood War without streaming afaik. That's the path I'd recommend. | ||

Yeah penguinplug used to work based on selection. Another common "false positive" was when you loose your last units at a battle you may have vision of enemy for few seconds before you see only fog so penguinplug failed to recognize those seconds that granted vision by unit loss. | ||
