s2protocol

s2protocol is a reference Python library and standalone tool to decode StarCraft II replay files into Python data structures.

Currently, s2protocol can decode these structures and events:

  • replay header
  • game details
  • replay init data
  • game events
  • message events
  • tracker events

s2protocol can be used as a base-build-specific library to decode binary blobs, or it can be run as a standalone tool to pretty print information from supported replay files.

Note that s2protocol does not expose game balance information or provide any kind of high level analysis of replays; it’s meant to be just the first tool in the chain for your data mining application.

Supported Versions

s2protocol supports all StarCraft II replay files that were written with retail versions of the game. The current plan is to support all future publicly released versions, including public betas.
