I've created and open-sourced a command line StarCraft: Brood War replay parser tool called screp here:

https://github.com/icza/screp

What it is

It's a standalone app with no GUI, and it can be used from the command line to pass a StarCraft: Brood War replay file to it (.rep), and it will parse the file and display low-level information from the replay in textual, JSON representation.

Target audience

While anyone may download it and use it, the information it presents is quite low level. It is human readable (JSON), but it's primarily intended for developers and web sites that wish to extract data from replays.

Supported platforms

Pre-built binary releases are provided for Windows, Linux and MAC OS X, both for 32 and 64-bit architectures.

Note that the project is written using the Go language, which supports a lot more platforms. Should you need to use it on other platforms, you can checkout the source code and compile it on your platform.

Requirements

Nothing is required. screp is shipped as a single, self-contained executable binary. It has no dependency. You do not need anything installed on your system. You just download the binary for your platform, extract it and use it.

Supported replay versions

Parses both "modern" (starting from 1.18) and "legacy" (pre 1.18) replays.

Download

Pre-built binaries can be downloaded from:

https://github.com/icza/screp/releases

Feedback / Bug report

Feedback and bug report is welcome. Feedback may be posted here, bugs and issues should be reported at:

https://github.com/icza/screp/issues

Star / Follow the project

If you like the project, please star it / watch it / follow me on github. Thanks.

It's a single, self-contained binary. It requires nothing else.

You might wanna add that as a request at https://github.com/icza/screp/issues. Based on popular demand it might get added.

I'm not sure just by repacking the data sections with the old compression would make replays watchable with old clients. There may be new commands/events which could crash old clients.

First let's clear some things. You do not need to checkout the source, and you do not need to install Go and build it yourself, because there are pre-built binaries on this page:

https://github.com/icza/screp/releases

Just download and use the one matching your platform.

Source code and custom build is only required if you want to build it for a platform not provided on the releases page. (Or if you want to modify the sources before building it, or if you want to use it as a library from your Go app.)

If you still want to build it: that is not how Go works. You need to setup a Go workspace, then easiest is to use "go get" to get the project (into your Go workspace) which also builds it. Or checkout the project with "git clone" into your already setup Go workspace, and then use "go install" or "go build" to build the screp executable. The "release.sh" is to build the packed release binaries you can download from the releases page.

Could you add a winner/loser field? I'm currently just walking backwards through the commands and finding the 'Defeat' event and that's fine, just a little quality of life thing.

Hey this looks great. I was looking for a tool to analyze rep files and this seems great.

Sorry for the noob question but how can I use this? I'm not super familiar with command line tools so could anyone link me with some tutorial or point in the right direction? Thanks!

Never cease to amaze with your great work Dakota_fanning, will you be releasing updated version of BWChart / the program you made in SC2 similar? (Can't remember the name for the life of me sorry)

Yes, result is not part of the header, but it is available as a "Leave Game" command, which has a Reason field with possible values: Quit, Defeat, Victory, Finished, Draw, Dropped.

Adding this to the header is a nice improvement. Will do it if I won't forget about it (open an issue to make sure of it).

You have to download the one that matches your operating system from here:

https://github.com/icza/screp/releases

It's a compressed file, extract it. Now you have a runnable app. Open a terminal / command line window, navigate to the folder you extracted it to, and type its name, and pass a replay file (with full path) to it.

For example:

screp myrep.rep


By default it will parse the replay and show you the replay header and nothing else.

If you also want to see basic map info (e.g. tile set, start locations of players etc.) and resource locations on the map (minerals and geysers), then type:

screp -map -mapres myrep.rep


To see a list of all available options, type:

screp -h
