Portal Post for the Tool

THE FEATURES:

You are a fan of size? You want to get informed as soon as there is a replay at gentool uploaded by him?
-> no problem. Simply subscribe this player by his Gentool ID (Thats the Code after his name) and get the newest replays downloaded automatically in the replay directory of your game.
(Ofc other not so talented persons can be subscribed as well)
You can even make a list of people and get updated about new replays of any guy in the list.

You have specific demands. F.e. You dont want to download bash replays (under 20 kb) Simply provide the tool with the information about your preferences and it will download only the replays you like to see.

I watch replays Size sometimes, interest to see this program.

Would be a good help for me. I could also test the program. Just hit me up

Would this window be too large? Would it fit your screen?

Window looking good

It would be nice if someone could write out some names+GentoolID for me. So people don't have to manually add those players when using tool for first time.
For example if thats the gentool Link:
Apeba_RIRAUAIFJABR/
Then the GentoolID is RIRAUAIFJABR
and the name is the players well known name here at gamereplays.org

Is this possible already?

No unfortunatelly not. It would need another UI to specify the size of kb that need to be exceeded for 1v1, 2v2 etc. I think its simply too much work and i rather leave it as it is . You could download the replays and afterwards sort it by size and delete the small files perhaps.
I will upload the source code now. I hope gamereplays allows me to do so. If not i will put it in a zip-file.

i managed to add the filesize feature.

The source code and the executable can be downloaded at the very first post.

Instead if file size it would be better to determine match length. File size is an inaccurate indication of match length. Match start and end are stored at offsets 0x6 and 0xA in Replay File as unix time (4 bytes, time_t on Windows).

ok thanks.

Well, I think it does not have to be that accurate for such a simple tool.
(ok if u like you can take a look at the source code, Xezon. It should be quite easy for you. I kept it as easy as possible, with some comments)

I wont touch it.

The other thing is i am using a header request, in order not being forced to download it first.

So it would be best to first check the filesize and if thats great enough then download it and check the timestamps.
Checking the timestamps means downloading the replay first.

Its up to you Xezon, ofc. But its really not complicated, hehe.

Good tool, works perfect on my side !
Thanks a lot!

I am under the impression you attempt to hand over work to me.
I hope you realize that this will not work.

feedback so far helped me to understand the problems and improve the program abit. Thank you to the testers.
Few Words about the tool so far:

A Replay is considered "new" if it is not already listed in the replay folder. (If it is not new, it will not be mentioned anywhere in the tool.) So if you rename or move the files to another place, the tool considers the replays as "new" again. This is not an optimal solution, but considering the small amount of persons who are using this tool atm, i will not create a log-file of all the downloaded replays.

A Maximum Search can take a while. Usually it doesnt matter how many persons you actively subscribe, but a maximum search (which should be done not more than once a day) can take up to 15 min. While searching replays the tool does not respond. Please dont click any buttons (like the "Quit"-button.) Else your search will be done and it quits then. So your search was senseless. Just leave the tool 10 mins alone, as it does not respond anyway.

remark: there was a little mistake in the ID of Size in the first upoaded version. New "InactiveSubscriptions.txt" has been updated.

And that is the point where community could contribute. Experts like Karro and others are still missing in the list. If you find out the ID post it here, so others can add him and others into the subscription list easily.

Great idea.

I did a maximum search for each of those 7 Players. Put the numbers into excel and here is some statistic:

Viking put upload mode off most of the time. Just recently he changes this. So his statistic is wrong. I'd like to see Alpine included the last grafic.

nice graphix
