I have so many flashback of some game-disconnect in tournaments. This could have solve a lot of issues.
Blizzard need to hire a guy with a brain and quick !
This program shouldn't be illegal, it's just plain non-sense

Any tips on how to use this? Do you need 2 players? do you need to have saved the replay yourself? Can you do it vs ai? Having trouble atm
This is where we begin. Show your true self, Battosai.

Using an unauthorized program would probably incur a Bnet ban, so I'll just wait until Blizzard creates their own similar feature. Good idea, though. Sins of a Solar Empire has a feature that lets you resume multi-player games, and it works quite well. I'm sure Blizzard is working on it.

Even Age of Empires had a save function for multiplayer games.. It's nothing new really.

Thats some futuristic stuff your talking about, technology isnt there yet ! they said so

1997 is clearly the future! Actually, to blizzard it may well be, considering how backwards thinking they can be from time to time.

It's in the OP.....

What a great tool, tested the Resume Replay function, and it works almost prefectly. Hotkeys are wiped though.

Great program, kudos to that.
But there is one potential problem besides the starting positions. SC2 doesnt work excactly determinstic (2 Marines fighting each other) so if even if you recreate all your actions it may well be that the gamestate is another, or am I mistaken?

By implementing this function Blizzard would actually admit there is some disconnect problem and it is their fault. It is easier to say "sorry, you have bad internet connection" or "sorry, you are holding it wrong"

But then you would not be able to have replays at all if you couldn't replay everything that happened..

It really is amazing how Blizzard is trying to make SC2 an esport game, sending Rob Simpson all over the world, Mike Morhaine and Dustin Browder personally at IPL4, yet they do not offer a platform that actually supports it as an esport. The whole pirating thing is getting really old and just a poor excuse for lazyness/cheapness.

Good job, hope this in the least will be a bit of a wake up call for Blizzard(though I doubt it, they seem quite content with bnet 0.2).


I think it's more likely that Blizz has their hands tied on the battle.net issues. It just doesn't make sense that they would invest so much time and money into making these public appearances/tournaments and not fix some basic issues with battle.net.

I remember reading a while ago that Activision has most of the control when it comes to the online/b.net infrastructure? If that's the case, it would explain why Blizz has yet to implement LAN or a more intuitive b.net even though they are adapting to consumer demand for everything else (maps, tournaments, balance, etc.)

Dunno, maybe they save the random seed in their replays, so if you put on a new game a new seed is created?

It's absolutely pathetic that Blizzard is slacking so hard with Bnet2.0
We should stop acting like they are working hard or something, cause they simply aren't.
Adding this function and many many other things Bnet2.0 needs should take a few weeks at most for a company like Blizzard.
But 2 years with Bnet2.0 and still nothing, pretty fkin retarded if u ask me.

Cause you, I or anybody here knows exactly how much effort it takes to implement a stable and online version of this into Bnet2.0? Yeah, right...


who cares exactly how much effort it takes?
All I know is it doesnt take years for a company of Blizzard's size to fix some relatively small issues that the entire community has been asking for for 2 years.
They should be ashamed.

Yeah, it was mentioned somewhere in this thread that the seed is replaced in memory.

Replays are simulated, which is why you have to run them before you can start skipping forwards/backwards through them. Without that they would be save states of each frame of the game (and thus bigger).
For them to be able to be simulated, they need to be deterministic.
I will reduce you to a series of numbers.

Is this the same SuperCow who created the very first replay analyzer/map extractor from BW? If so then I can't say I'm surprised at the degree of contribution.

There's a significant risk of being flagged by Warden for this though, since it involves memory injections. I'm sure Blizzard will look into this one way or the other though. Thanks for the post!

Well I imagine Blizzard has something like that (or hopefully something better because quite frankly, while this is already infinitely much better than having no option at all, it's somewhat uncomfortable) planned or almost ready for implementation too. Though I'd imagine they wanted to announce that as something for HotS.

So now the joke's on them for waiting with that or just generally not having come up with some not great but functional hotfix for tournaments, and quite deserved.

Sounds great!

The only problem I see is with loading old replays, but I guess that is using the program for a different thing than intended

Havent read the whole thread. Probably it has already been said:

The technology isn't there yet guys. No LAN. No game save/resume. No decent chat interface. No clan interface. No tournaments like the ones we had in wc3 bnet's.

Them freaking technologies.
