Dammit, I wish I had enough programming skills to take advantage of this. I'm begging someone to make up a SQ calculator based off information recorded in the s2gs file after each game ala sc2gears style.

Thank you so much for all your work Prillan.

I'm working on integrating this into Sc2gears, but unfortunately based on a replay file you can't get the name of the s2gs file...


First, awesome that you're working on it - thank you so much for your efforts.

Is it possible to monitor the master folder or s2gs files and order by creation date to correlate with replays? Perhaps matching some unique information within the replay that can be retrieved and cross matched to the score screen in the s2gs files allowing you to match them together correctly? (I.e. player names + map) Not sure if that would be unique enough.

Just throwing ideas out there, they may be to clunky to actually implement. Thanks regardless.

I could match those, that's not the problem. The problem is that s2gs files do not magically appear on your hard drive unless you individually check match result for all games in your match history inside Sc2 (or you use an automated program for it).


Ahh ok, I understand a lot better now - thank you for taking the time to explain it to me.

The only thing I can think of now is perhaps wiresharking the connection and trying to identify the traffic sent to blizzard to request match history and simulating that after each game. I seem to remember someone perhaps trying that earlier but I don't know how it ended up.

Yes, there is a program for that, but that violates the terms of use, so I will not implement something like that in Sc2gears.

I did that but couldn't find anything. It looks like it's encrypted

I think people would still appreciate it even if it only worked on new replays

What could be built without too much trouble is a program that scans your computer's directories for s2gs files and loads them to ggtracker or into sc2gears. However this would require you to manually click around within SC2, clicking on each game in your match history in order for the relevant s2gs file to be loaded onto your computer.

Actually, hovering over the magnifying glass is enough.

Usually the score screen is loaded after a game really quickly, so it'd be kinda unavoidable to get the s2gs downloaded after most games though, wouldn't it? I guess it'd be problematic for team games though, since I don't think you can get the sg2s file until the team game is over (which takes longer than just the first person leaving like in 1v1s)

After a game no s2gs file is saved on your computer. At the end of a game the Score screen is displayed from in-memory data. S2gs files are only saved to your computer if you browse the match history.

No.

It has nothing to do with the game. The points you see right after the game is not showed if you enter the score screen from the match history.

Oh OK. It would be sending that information to the battle.net server though. I just presumed it would save the file when doing that. It only makes sense to cache the hsitory of games one's played. I suppose that's why battle.net is so damn laggy — inefficient programming.
I'm Not sure if it would be in the same format when the info is being sent, but still I assume that's probably not something you'd want to do (packet reading).

True, but technically the point change is still shown in the match history screen still (even though not on the score screen), so it's not a huge difference, even though the answer's still 'no'.

Yes, there is a program for that, but that violates the terms of use, so I will not implement something like that in Sc2gears.

The Terms of use is a joke.

sc2gears violates the terms of use! Read them careful, you are not allowed to collect information about the client.
With this text you break it in the second you install sc2.

Has this little file been figured out?

I would love to have some information about my SQ integrated into SC2Gears or one of its plugins .
