GENERAL:
A replay file saves information about maps and players and all commands issued by players during a game. These commands include move, construction of buildings, production of units and upgrades, commander selection, calling in units or abilities like off map artillery or throwing grenades. Not included are actions, such as opening the tactical map or scrolling or clicking on random points on the map. In other words, commands are input parameters to the game engine. This means that statistics like kills/losses and VP score are not stored in the replay.
PLAYERS:
General info about the players and the game. The COH2.ORG icon opens a browser window to display the Ladders Player Card on COH2.ORG, while the Steam icon opens the player’s profile on Steam.
* Note on player names and commands:
Because of random starting positions (I believe) there is no explicit connection between Players and commands. I use a best effort method based on matching selected commanders to available commanders. If there is ambiguity, e.g. 2 players share a commander and both select that commander, the players will show as their faction and internal ID, e.g. 'Soviet 1' and 'Soviet 3', on the build order, map, and CPM panes.
BUILD ORDER:
Shows the build order and commander choices of each player. Notice that the timestamp is when the command to produce units etc. is issued, as opposed to the in game post game construction tab, which show when units are completed.
MAP:
Shows every command that has a coordinate associated with it, e.g. move and attack-move commands. The two sliders on the track bar at the bottom can be used to select a timeframe to display.
CPM:
Graph showing commands issued per minute of each player. The numbers in parenthesis next to the player names are the average CPMs. As you hover along the graph, you can see CPM counts at specific moments in the game.
EXPORT:
If that isn’t enough data for you, you can export all commands as either XML or CSV.
Installation/Uninstallation/Updating/Security
CoH2RA uses a click-once installer. This means that the program installs in your "App Cache" - this cannot be changed. It can be uninstalled as usual through the Control Panel." On startup, the program will automatically check for updates and offer to download them if there are any. The program will automatically check its own integrity.
Administrative rights are not required and, apart from dumping a log file in ...\My Games\Company of Heroes 2\CoH2RA.log, it does not read or write to any other locations.
Finally, a big thank you to Inverse for updating the parser to CoH2, the good people at Relic, and OnkelSam for his awesome artist's skills
