if u can get 300 apm in bw, then you can surely get 240 in war3 alot of actions will be select/move units ive looked at and tested the latest w3chart, its correct | ||

if in war3 you have 6 sorcies selected and you hit o for polymorph, and then hit an enemy unit, it will get 1 sorc tocast it. then you can press o again and click an enemy unit again over and over, and diff sorcies will cast it. if in bw you have 6 sci vessels selected and you did i on an overlord with one of them, all 6 cast irradiate, which is rather pointless, so bw needs more micro in that regards. and yes i am aware that scrolling thru hotkeys of 1212121212 is counted as actions, but you can do so much of that in war3 but almost little to none of that in bw unless its in the beginning unless its in the beginning of the game. >_< what i mean is bw has more MEANINGFUL actions. 8) if you get 300 apm in war3 it simply means you are rightclicking a hotkey on your hero 5000000 times or doing something meaningless like that, where if you get that in bw you are doing 90% meaningful actions. | ||

I thought I was quite a fast player aswell, lol(I'm quite well known for having good micro). Perhaps I just don't do lots of *wasted* clicks. | ||

meaningful actions depends on the player, not the game and the difference in apm is not as big as you think its basically equivalent to playing starcraft on fast mode | ||

i dont see what is so hard to comprehend about that. in brood war you dont have the time to un meaningfully re rally all your buildings, (unless its in the first 5 minutes of the game), because later on there is so much to do, and this is not true for war3. oh and yes, rallying your ancient of war or arcane sanctum, or whatever it is 500 times, or pressing 121212121212 on your unit hotkeys does make a large difference in apm. because i have replays where i have done it and the apm has jumped up much higher. | ||

I even said that. but they dont have time to do that after about 5 mins of the game. but in war3 you can switch between your 1,2 hotkeys all day and still play the game normally, and in bw it is not possible after 5 or so mins. | ||

really, 255 has NO room for wasted clicks, that is the true test of speed. | ||

I was wondering it's possible for you to modify wc3chart to output the results so that it can be parsed by an external program. Maybe include an option to output to file and have that option be switchable through the command line or just output the data to the console. The reason for this is that I would like to analyze many replays but it takes too long to manually do it. If you can output the results to a file or console, we can write a program to parse the file and gather the results. BTW, thanks for all the work on wc3chart. It's a great program and very nice tool to help analyze my gameplay. -sb | ||
