Loading error: Unable to construct the MPQArchive

[Yaser Norouzzadeh]

Hi guys,

I'm new in sc2reader. I tried to load a replay, but I received the following error. Also, I tried different replay files.

Thank you in advance. 

code:

from sc2reader.factories import SC2Factory
path = 'D:/Code/Test/replays/GG623.rep'
sc2 = SC2Factory()
replay = sc2.load_replay(path)
print('done')

Error:

is it a valid replay file?  can you open it with starcraft2?

can you open it with s2protocol?  https://github.com/Blizzard/s2protocol

It should be a valid replays. There are some works on these dataset. But I could not open them in SC2, and I did not found a way how to use s2protocol module.

[Yaser Norouzzadeh]

I just realized that yhe mentioned dataset contains replays from SC I. Does sc2reader support it? If not, is there other Python module that could load this replays?

[David Joerg]

sc2reader only supports sc2.  not sure what sc1 parsers are out there if any.
