flank

flank is a very basic CLI parsing application for CoH3 replays written using vault.

Pre-built binaries are available in releases for M1 Macs (ARM64), 64-bit Linux, and 64-bit Windows. Open an issue if you'd like another platform supported, or feel free to build from source.

File & Version Support

flank supports all CoH3 replays regardless of version (same as vault).

Company of Heroes 2

CoH2 replay support has been deprecated and will no longer be supported. If you still require CoH2 replay parsing, the last version to support it was v0.6.0.

Usage

Download the binary for your platform and make sure it's in your path (alternatively you can build from source). You should then be able to run flank:

$ flank
CLI parser for Company of Heroes replay files.

Usage: flank <FILE>

Arguments:
  <FILE>  Path to a CoH3 replay file

Options:
  -h, --help     Print help
  -V, --version  Print version

Parsing a file is easy, just pass the path to flank:

$ flank /path/to/replay.rec

The output is not currently pretty-printed, but its contents will look something like this:
