This repository contains code for reading and manipulating recorded games from Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition.
The code depends on Ruby, and nothing else.
To dump some info from a recorded game, run:
./dump.rb FILENAME
To merge replays from different players together so that you can see all the chats in one replay, run:
./merge.rb -o OUTPUT INPUT1 INPUT2 ...
The resulting recording will be a copy of the first full-length input (which we call the main input) except for some chat messages being modified or added. Flares and view lock information of this main input are not touched.
- To view flares, you have to select the perspective of the user who sent the flare or saw the flare.
- The output file will only have view lock information from the main input.
Warning: This command prints out the chat on the screen, so you might get spoiled about the results of the game!
There is also a command that automates the process of downloading
a match using aoe2.net and aoe.ms, and then merges it. For details,
run ./download_and_merge.rb with no arguments.
