I really want to permanently ban someone from a map of mine, but when he was there my map didnt have a function in it for me to extract his unique player handle.
I do have a replay however, maybe its possible to get his player handle that way (or some other way that I dont know about)?
some years back i was able to open the replay as txt (either change to .txt or just open it with a editor) and extract player handles from it
Mmmh interesting. I looked into it, but Im really not all that into coding and hex and stuff, could you help me out with extracting the player handles? Would be much appreciated.
I believe this goes against blizzards terms of service. though it makes you wonder why they allow player handles in game if that is the case. I believe it would fall under unfair treatment of a specific player; much like rewarding people who donate; or inserting cheats that only you can use, ect.
Not that blizzard would do anything about it; just an interesting thing to point out.
Player names are not unique, so thats generally not a very good option.
Regarding the question, I dont think its possible. At least I wouldnt know a way. I also quickly looked into some old replays of mine, but failed to find any non-hex information within them, so it probably got changed.
open the replay in mpq editor then go to replay.details
Mmmmh you are very crafty. I tried and I do get atleast SOME information, but not the full handle. Well, its not that much of a pressing issue anyways.
It used to but too many noob map makers kept giving themselves cheats. I know dotd3 has some player recognition system for testing purposes and bank encryption.

Hi,
I really want to permanently ban someone from a map of mine, but when he was there my map didnt have a function in it for me to extract his unique player handle.
I do have a replay however, maybe its possible to get his player handle that way (or some other way that I dont know about)?
Any ideas?

the handles were not in HEX back then, so you have to search for S2- within the txt file.

ModeratorsI take it the old way of player name = blah = defeat method is no longer an option?

That never worked, right? You cant check for player names, Ive tried (unless I missed something).
