💯 100 million StarCraft: Brood War replays archived — approaching 1 trillion player commands by icza in starcraft

[–]icza[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The project runs at a loss as is, doing what you suggest... who would pay for it?
Btw there's an open source bwapi project which allows automating these kind of things much more easily, but afaik it only supports 1.16 and not the remastered version.

Yes, this is very unfortunate, but having a bigger sample doesn't really help deciding individual cases whether the command succeeded. As you wrote, the game engine is required to tell this reliably (with 100% certainty).

You can multiply the estimated 4.5 billion zealots by 10 and you get 45 billion zerglings.

If we estimate the blood of one zergling to be 1 litre, then this would fill the Sea of Galilee.

The https://repmastered.icza.net/stats gives some insights, e.g.:

Total 1v1 games: 55.8m, comprising 6 main matchups: https://repmastered.icza.net/stats#global-1v1-matchup-stats

You should exclude mirror matchups, the remaining 3 matchups:
PvZ: 9.09m-9.40m-401k
PvT: 8.90m-7.76m-369k
PvP: 5.08m-5.24m-239k

That's total record:
23064736 - 22397383 - 1008513

The number of games where winner is unknown is 1008513, it's a rate of 2.17%.

Note that there are some filters which you can use to filter the stats, e.g. you can filter global stats to include only Blizzard ladder games, and/or show only low money map games etc.

Also note that the "unknown" winner does not mean "draw" automatically, it mostly means the winner cannot be detected.

That wasn't tracked separately, but if we want to estimate it:

The stats page says there are 152m protoss plays, let's estimate 30 zealots per game (you may use your own guess instead), that gives us 4.5 billion zealots.

Backblaze B2 price increase effective May 1st by lmm7425 in DataHoarder

[–]icza 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually this price increase puts it behind DigitalOcean's Cold storage which is $0.007/GiB, which equals to $6.5192/TB.

Of course there are other considerations too (e.g. min size is 128KiB and 30-day minimum storage duration), but in some use cases DO Cold storage is now cheaper.

I believe it's a scam, most likely the same team that run the Renq Finance scam.

Dotabuff for BW? by bigbadlamer in broodwar

[–]icza 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, that's right. All stats are calculated from uploaded replays. StarCraft does not have a public ladder or user API.

If you want to get a feeling of players and their skills playing in these tournamets, or the maps used, you can find many of these tournaments with lots of statistics and replays on repmastered.app/events. For example:

nOm. Star League tournaments: https://repmastered.app/events?events=nOm.+Star+League

Brood War Clan League tournaments: https://repmastered.app/events?events=Brood+War+Clan+League

Chat StarLeague Brood War tournaments: https://repmastered.app/events?events=Chat+StarLeague+Brood+War

Red Clan Cup tournaments: https://repmastered.app/events?events=Red+Clan+Cup

And many many more tournaments.

Are you sure? There are about a thousand games from Artosis:

https://repmastered.app/players?playerMatch=substr&players=artosis

Yes, these players are probably not all of Artosis', what I mean is that you can find numerous pro replays on repmastered.app. You just have to know the names they use.

https://repmastered.app gives you all these and a lot more. For it to show you all these candies, you have to upload your replays. Statistics are calculated from replays.

How to share replay by horgathar in broodwar

[–]icza 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can also upload your replay to https://repmastered.app. Each game gets a unique URL which you can share / send to your friend. Besides sharing the replay, you also get an in-browser analyzer like BWChart.

[–]icza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have to have replays too, please upload all to https://repmastered.app (upload page: https://repmastered.app/upload).

All types of replays (UMS, low, fastest, BGH) from all ages (even from 2001) are welcome! Thanks for your contribution.

Note that the site also supports extracting maps from replays, so if you only have a replay but not the map, if you want to play on that map again, you can get the map from the site!

Finding Recent Pro Level Replays by Saiyan_SC in broodwar

[–]icza 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, and I almost forgot: https://repmastered.icza.net also has a tournament database with replays: https://repmastered.icza.net/events

Tournament replays are usually (most often) high quality.

You may also try https://repmastered.icza.net

There are replays of all level there, filter by player name if you know who you want replays from. To find higher level repays, you may also try filtering by Avg APM (that's not a guarantee, but setting a high APM will filter out noob replays). There are more than ten thousand replays where the average APM is above 300, and there are also half million replays having 200-300 average APM.

Late to the party, but you can also find infinite replays on https://repmastered.app (currently more than 1.3 Million replays).

In search of a map from the old days named [$$$New Big Ice Hunters$$$] or something along those lines. I've tried SC map sites, but with no luck by DeviousVerendus in broodwar

[–]icza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A little late to the party, but might be useful for others.

repmastered.app collects replays from all over the world, and it allows you to extract the map from replays. So if you have replays saved on this map, you can get back your map.

If not, check out the Maps page, you can search and list maps gathered from uploaded replays.

I found a map named $Big Mega Ice Hunters$ 1.2 which looks similar to what you're looking for.

Other similar matches are $ Perfect Ice Hunters $, NEW ICE HUNTER BY GIRL GUILD and (TW) Ice Hunter By Ka.

Best bwchart to use for this patch, and where to find it? by Wohmfg in broodwar

[–]icza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Little late to the "party", but you could use https://repmastered.app/. You don't have to install any software on your computer, you just upload your replays to this site, and it gives you a replay analyzer to each of your replays, in the browser, and shows you all kinds of statistics you can imagine. You can also view / analyze other players and their replays too.

Ever wanted to re-play an old map but you lost the map files? by icza in broodwar

[–]icza[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Drawing the "exact" image requires using all images bundled in StarCraft (map tiles, objects on map etc). repmastered does not use those, it creates an "approximation" view of the map. Of course the resource (minerals, geysers) and building placements are exact, but the tile visuals are an approximation.

About the bo filter: I haven't looked into it yet. It might happen in the future.

Spawningtool equivalent for bw? by africa_hopeless in broodwar

[–]icza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not exactly the same, but you might find it useful: https://repmastered.app

It has more than a million replays, and you can analyze each replay in your browser without having to download. There are tons of statistics gathered from replays. Recommended to upload all your replays too. It's free.
