For those who play Warcraft III too, there is a little surprise on http://mapage.noos.fr/bwchart/

It's still a very early prototype (started this morning) and tested on very few replays. So, if you have replays that crash it, please email them at bwchart@noos.fr. Thx.

itd be cool if you could mark the player who saved the replay

'some gosu's and tillerman ofcourse' were your exact words.
That 'ofcourse' made me think you considered him to be the most gosu of all...
Next time use better expression...

I totally agree with DevAzTaYtA. I dont think hand speed anywhere near as important in WC3 as it is in SC.

i usually get just under 100 in serious games and apex i think was at 130ish in bw...

the only thing important in war3 is knowing how to execute one strat over and over again. its a shitty game, and the average apm for a gosu player is probably about 40 because its soooooo slow.

im pretty sure sc average is 80-90, I have manage to only find one guy on one rep under 60 :o, 70 is pretty common though.
Before bwchart I was averaging something like 95-100. But I was 120 around in my fastest games.
Now I get 120 minimum, and I know its not useless clicking around.
Actually since bwchart I just have a motivation to stay concentrate over the whole game.
Anyone else having a speed bump since bw chart ?

I know exactly what you mean. I jumped from 140 to 170 after getting bwchart. I also play faster against friends and at a live event (200-220 at USA prelim). Being around other serious players makes ppl unconsciously do better.
With the release of w3chart, maybe the warcraft gosus will also raise their play up a notch.

i downloaded some random gosu games including the all top replays from www.warcraft.de and i didnt find ANY player having more than 100 apm. about the half of them stayed below 50! thats so ridiculous considering even i get to 170 in bw. didnt check for average player replays tho. oh and did u remember that low-apm contest we had here? i think the best result was ~25 and that was vs a computer...seeing a wc3 pro winning against another pro with 29 apm really makes me sad =/

in war3 if you issue multiple commands to a unit it is liable to just stand there.

IMPORTANT:
with the new version of w3chart average apm is considerably higher that before, maybe by an average of 50 or slightly less.

The replay file format for Warcraft III is far more complex than the BW one. Which means it takes time to figure out all the subtleties. I think i'm getting there for the overall structure in version 1.00C, but yes, take those numbers with care.

80-100 apm is MORE than enough to do everythign possible in war3...

anything above 150ish in war3 is not correct i think.

with double click to select all similar buildings, and right click to simply rally on hero, its just alot less clicking to do.

also autocast, large unit hp, and slow speed means war3 has alot less clicking than bw.

do you seriously think 300 apm is all macro and micro in bw? No, its also a lot of setting rally points again and again, hotkeys etc. The same for wc3.

War3 should (obviously) have a lot lower since you don't need to constantly manage your base =/

And like being able to group buildings in one hotkey, rally workers to lumber/gold, rally directly to heroes etc.

Wow, someone actually took my suggestion and used it. That's a first. Here is a list of players in war3.

Anyppi.WeRRa( we all know who that is I hope...): 199apm
SoL.Cafone.wS( Gosu Italian player, In BW and wc3): 168apm
DayFly[Pooh](Really good Korean player, won some leagues): 268apm
aNc.Delicato(We all know who this is=)): 122apm
4K.DIDI8( We know who this is too=)): 276apm
SK.Insomnia(aka [o]Mr.X and eSu.Mr.X): 190apm
eSu.Soul(aka (orky)~Soul~ and Soul[pG] in BW): 179apm
ElkY(ya we know who this is): 169apm
ShowTime.WeRRa(#1 War3 player at this moment): 204apm
a-L.GeNThO(aka TrulyPieux in BW): 82apm(taken from short replay)
4K.Zeus(aka esu.zeus[19] and SG-Zeus in BW): 130apm(from short replay)
4K.Kiko(aka [o]Tris in BW in the old days): 106apm
esu.Four20(aka [BG]KurMur in BW days): 254apm
eSu.NitemarE(gosu Swedish UD player): 255apm
eSu.Ranger(aka (orky)Ranger and Ranger[pG]): 105apm
Star.WeRRa(Really good Korean UD user): 261apm
IceCastle.WeRRa(Really good Korean NE user): 265apm
SK.MaD)Q(FroG(aka eSu.MaDFroG in BW): 160apm
aT-BIatty(Really good French UD User): 159apm
FiSheYe[pG]( Yes he plays war3 now=)): 102apm

Well there's the list of some of the better known War3 players by both BW and war3 community. Forgot some but It would take a long ass time to get them all.
Here's a list that I think are probably interesting to see that I didn't look up(I did not put clan tags in because you will have an easier time looking for them without tags)

only replays from 1.03 and older are not correct, I tested it, what many of you people dont realize, 1 battle in war3 could be well over 500actions by one player. Add that together with numerous battles, creeping, and the little building you do, and your APM is just like BWs.

id say its around 20-30% less actions
it has to do mostly with the unit cap
you will never have 6 groups of marines and medics like in bw

They are not the same game, they are not the same play, the only thing they have in common are they are made by Blizzard, and are both RTS, it is much easier to control 6 groups of marines and medics, than it is to switch between 2-3 heroes cast magic and use items + micro those heroes, switch to casters and disable/enable autocast or cast spells that aren't autocastable, and micro your units.

lol rageth you are crazy

battles with 500 actions even on BOTH sides is laughable

the koreans are just randomly clicking around the map or toggling thru 2-3 ctrl groups constantly...

completely unnecessary actions just like all the nonsense clicking early whiel making scvs in bw...they do these same things in war3 with setting the town hall rally point for lumber mining...probably 20+% of the clicks in the game come from rally pt setting...i can say this from experience...

i agree rageth is crazy
but 20% is high as well
you can easily see this with bwchart
rally point setting is about 2-10% of actions
usually its 5%

more of the useless clicking is from repeatedly pressing move to the same spot when 1 move action wouldve sufficed

Well I dont think they reach 5000-6000 actions in a 30 minute game by setting rally points and hitting "G" to build a grunt or something over and over.

rageth, war3 is like playing starcraft on fast
blizzard meant it to be that way
they wanted sc to be played at fast too
thats why ladder is on fast speed

and as a i said, that as well as the unit cap equates to about a 20-30% difference in actions

you dont have to set rally over with war3, its 1 right click and its done for the game. unless your rallied hero dies in which you simply right click on him again..

in bw you have to constantly change ur hotkeys depending on where the battle is, also you cant rally to minerals or gas, with war3 you can.

not to mention the most peons any war3 player will have is around the 20's (3 expo = 12-15 peons + 7-8 wood = 20 in general)

in bw the peon count alone is like 40-60.

like i said, i think 150+ apm for any war3 replay is not correct, unless the player rallied 40000 times on their hero, mine, and trees for no reason at all.

actually they do, BTW I can hit 300 apm in war3 easier than I can in BW, because in all honesty I dont have much to do in war3 so I can sit and just scroll through my keyed units adding pointless actions.

rei you are aware that pressing 121212121212 also counts as 12 actions which i can do within a second or two, add some repetitive move commands and you can get quite high. naz of course you need to do more macro in bw which is why one needs more apm on average but rageth istn completely wrong either, one also need more micro in wc3.

the difference is 20-30%
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

Blah,Wc3 fucks apm with autocast and that bullshit. Wc3 doesn't need more micro, it just gives you more time to micro with your 700 HP units.

the "more micro" needed in war3 is sooo much easier to perform tho.

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.

hmm In all my reps I've never gotten an apm higher than 95. And I'm lvl 22 solo so not a complete and utter noob :o

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.

intotherei u make no sense
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

im lvl 20 solo, my APM can go anywhere from 170 to 230+ I admit I make alot of useless clicks tho, setting rally points many times, etc. However I don't do this past the initial stages of the game usually. I measured a rep of just the first few minutes of my build and my APM is like 350+ but it's all just extraneous stuff.

a war3 player double clicking on his ancient of war, and then right clicking on his hero 10 times is un needed. that IMO is not meaningful. and thats probably what war3 players do to recieve such high APM's, if those numbers are even correct.

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.

With the latest version 1.00E the APM number is getting very accurate, and you can now see the actions that were used to compute it. I haven't figured out all the actions yet but most of the basic ones are there.

Yea, i agree that they do that in the beginning of the game. 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.

Personally, i think most of apm is useless clicking. I avg about 100 on bw...naz avg about 130? Ive been practicing for wcg a lot with darki, and ive probably won about 9 out of 15 of our games. He averages about 200, i avg about 100. weird? Obviously its not all useless clicking, but apparently its not making a difference.
if you guys could use google and post direct links to the maphacks here it would be greatly appreciated. - Nazgul

The only true test of speed ive ever found is 255.scm. You cannot waste any clicks in that game, everything is meaningful. In 255 i fluctuate between 175-225. That is what i consider my true speed. Testie hit 320 in 255.scm yet he only hits 140 in games?

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

A lot of people have it online..its called 255 fast and free...basically everything builds fast, and everything is free, just make stuff and fight...no time for wasted clicking, so it really is true speed...i saw testie hit 320...we should have an apm contest in this, requirement being the player won

jca,
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.

look at some reps of 4K^didi8 (e.g. the ones on www.wc3l.de vs aT.Intox) he has around 240 APM in war3 (quite the same as boxer has in bw btw :D)

jca:

It would be better if you dont associate your program with .w3g files.
It makes downloading replays really hard when you CANT right click and 'save as'.
Left clicking will of course load the replay into the program and save it in some temp folder.
