ReplaySeeker for 1.26.X, 1.27.X, 1.28.X [probably stable]

[guest49825]

Note: i am not the original author of this program. I`m the one who keeps it alive nowadays. Original author is Danat, he is some good guy :-)

Hello, my deer friends
I`ve spent some time with fixing and updating ReplaySeeker, which was not working for modern Warcraft 3 versions.

I want you to test it, in case you are familiar with this tool. I want to know, when it works, when it does not. Report here in like following style 'Hi, deer! I have [Windows/Linux (wine)] [version] [service pack] [language], playing 'Warcraft 3 [patch version] [language] [official/non-official]'. I tried [something] and it does [not] work! I see [something]'

SimpleCamera plugin is provided almost as-is. I`ve just fixed some stuff and added toggle on/off hotkey. You can just play with it. Or make good movies :-P

If you do not have .NET Framework 4, you need it in order to run this program :-) Here is a link

In case you have no idea for what should this tool be - i will write full guide soon. Have no time atm.

Important note #1: You have to run ReplaySeeker as Administrator!
Important note #2: if you are going to extract it over existing ReplaySeeker -> then delete 'repseek.cfg' file!

@TODO list:

Spoiler for Hiden:

- Hide chat feature
- Disable sounds / rendering features (optional; most likely i will defer it for next version)
- Make units skills visible feature (probably will defer too)
- Auto administrator access asquiring
- Add help guide

Here is some changelog:

Spoiler for Hiden:

26.08.2017 Stable
- Small fixes
- Auto acquiring administrator access
23.08.2017
Still beta:
- Added turbo mode support for known versions (not sure about 1.28, cannot make a good test for it; investigating)
- Changed some calls to thread-safe ones
- Added simple version 'autodetect'
- Added known process names list, so no need to specify it anymore (in most cases)
- No need to restart ReplaySeeker for another replay/warcraft version anymore.
- Reworked 'rescan' button:
No more needed to click it to restart scan process. It will always do scan until it finds replay.
There are 'stop scan' button to stop it and get able to select another version if it is needed.
17.08.2017
Still beta:
- Added multiple versions support, ability to choice (1.26, 1.27, 1.28 are available now and should work)
- Implemented simple version of custom offsets setting (run ReplaySeeker once and look in the repseek.cfg file)
16.08.2017
Beta version:
- added progressbar for memory scanning progress
- added more information into main window
- started adding multiversioning support (currently supports 1.26a and 1.28+);
14.08.2017
- SimpleCamera is working too now
- Removed my tests from code
- Disabled 'Turbo' checkbox
- Fixed few crashes and bugs
13.08.2017
- Initial commit
- ReplaySeeker is working now

I tested it again and this time works.

Windows 7 Ultimate (64) Service Pack 1 EN
Warcraft 3 v1.28.5 EN
Average playback speed = 6; min = 3.x, max = 10.x.

GJ! 

[guest49825]

Thanks for testing, Renovatio

I tested it again and this time works.

Sounds good

Average playback speed = 6; min = 3.x, max = 10.x.

Sounds sad   :-D
Have you tried turbo mode?
Anyway, i am working on 1.28+ speeding up; Due to its retarded borderless fullscreen (or whatever it is) - standard ways do not work for this one, so i need some workaround; Should be done in next version. But when it is actually minimized, i get like 30-40 avg playback speed for 1.28

With turbo it gets boosted around 7 (average), I think; I used it only for a few seconds. To mention: I have slow PC and my CPU was also busy with other things while using replay seeker. Anyway, is a decent speed.

[guest49825]

Added stable version.
I hope so... :-D


I did not include my disabling renderer experiments, because this it really extremely experimental Also it can crash the game sometimes; And gives negligible speeding up; So i think disabling renderer should not be included to Replay Seeker. At least, in it`s current state.

[guest49825]

I am going to moviemaking for 1-2 weeks since now;
Will not work on this program while moviemaking;
If there will be no more crash/bug reports - i will call this version 'stable'

Seems to be working fine for me, tested on a few replays, 1.28.5. I have 1 suggestion: make it pause the replay once it reached the desired position, so we won't miss anything while maximizing/beeing afk

Edit: now it actually stopped finding the offset, its stuck on scanning memory no matter what i do (win 7, wc3 1.28.5 german)

Edit 2: Doesn't find it for 1.27 either. Also when i close it while scanning (with the x button) it displays the "program has crashed message"

[guest49825]

Hm, it should pause the replay.
Interesting, i will check it

Maybe for 1.28.5 there is another offset, i was checking for 1.28.2

Edit: now it actually stopped finding the offset, its stuck on scanning memory no matter what i do

so it works or it does not?
try restarting war3 / replay seeker (but it is not really needed)

Have you tested 'stable' or not?

[luke]

Yes, the stable one. I find this is weird too, i was able to use it and then it suddenly stopped working, i tried to reextract the zip as well

[guest49825]

have you used 'Auto' version detect?
have you tried manually select '1.28'?
try removing repseek.cfg (but before it, provide file contents to me, via PM, not here)


edit: by the way, thanks for testing; i`ve already forgot about this tool
