Game summary data

[manuelseeger]

I understand that historically game summary was read from a s2gs file downloaded by the SC2 client. As per #83 and the linked discussion this is supposed to be removed.

I also understand that in principle the summary can be compiled from game events. Is this implemented somewhere that can be reused? Or how would one get game summary data nowadays?

Not that I know of. But others here may have a better idea, I haven't been here in ~10 years 👅

how would one get game summary data nowadays?

To get the s2gs file manually, you could click in the SC2 client to look at game summaries, and behind the scenes your SC2 client will download the s2gs files to your computer and put them in one of its cache directories.

Or to get the equivalent data, you could use sc2reader here and probably reconstruct most or all of the data by computing aggregates of the various events.
