Lord Martin's Replay Browser: a Repost

A lot of people are impressed by the build order functionality of BW chart but don't know how to extract them into one place to watch them . BW chart's BO function is merely a gimmick; with no way of watching them sequentially, the function is merely a way to see the most used builds.

Luckily, way back when (1.13), Lord Martin published a rep browser that would let you do all this and filter reps by match up, build, player, map, and extract them into one place. It's a really cool tool for studying build orders or watching reps of your favorite player.

For example, I've extracted an example pack of my meager replay stash of reps where hydra speed and range have been upgraded.

There's 18 of them, both in Repdepot and a hardlink form. Charliemurphy, I hope you see this when your temp ban is done. The filtering system isn't perfect, but definitely gets the job done 90% of the time.

I don't know if the version I have is the most recent, but it definitely works. Download LMRB in the spoiler (hosted on various sites, get it while you can):

Lord Martin's website is still up (but the down loads are broken) so I'm just going to link it. It's a very comprehensive guide, read it. http://lmrb.net/

Basically once you've got your filters, right click a replay>replay>copy all filtered>pick replay file you want them all filed to. And you've got your file with all your replays that fit your filter.

One problem. Rumor has it that LMRB does not handle large numbers of reps very well (>1000). I received a I/O 32 error, and I probably won't be the last.

It's been a while since I've used lmrb, but I think the i/o error can be avoided sometimes: go to options -> lmr files, add a new one for the dir you want to use and hit rip replays. I think the error happens at the end, but it still saves the .lmr file, so afterwards you can hit 'load' (or load w/filter which should be faster. The program has performance issues with displaying a lot of reps, it's fast if you filter them or set a limit to how many it shows) .

Good night and good luck!

Much thanks to Lord Martin and Sonuvbob for programming and helping me use LMRB, respectively.
