Introduction

An important word ahead. The information in this document is addressed to developers who want to create programs, tools and websites that help to enrich the gaming experience for the whole WarCraft III community. We absolutely do not tolerate hacks and cheats. Therefore you MUST NOT use the information provided in this document for any of these purposes.

This file is meant to contain a description of the replay format itself. Additional notes and explanations on single fields and/or algorithms will (eventually) be moved to a seperate file w3g_notes.txt some day.

The whole file is still under construction. The meaning of some fields is still unknown and "known" fields might be wrong. Please contact us if you figure out any unknown values or find a replay that simply does not conform with the description of a "known" field.
