#StarCraft2 Replay Parser
The aim of this project is to create a dataset from StarCraft2 replay files.
##Download replays
Replays are avaliable at the ggtracker website. To Download them from Windows, I used this command in a power-shell console:
Invoke-WebRequest http://ggtracker.com/matches/[#REPLAY_NUM]/replay -OutFile #REPLAY_NUM.replay
Where #REPLAY_NUM is the replay number found on ggtracker. Downloads from Unix should work with the wget utility.
##Extract Action-list
The Sc2gears parser can extract all the actions of the players from the replay files:
Sc2gears-win.cmd --print-action-list --use-frames #REPLAY_NUM.replay > #REPLAY_NUM.csv
##Replace spaces
Unfortunately, Sc2gears parser do not export action infos in a usable csv format. I removed the spaces at the begining of each lines and replaced the multiple spaces separating each column with a tabulation. I used the replace_spaces.ps powershell script to perform the cleaning of the csv files inplace.
##Parsing the data
python /src/Parser_5min.py [Source files] [Destination File]
- Source Files: the output of the Sc2gears parser
- Destination File: the csv to write
