Manta

Manta is a fully functional Dota 2 replay parser written in Go, targeting the Source 2 (Dota 2 Reborn) game engine.

Getting Started

Manta is a low-level replay parser, meaning that it will provide you access to the raw data in the replay, but doesn't provide any opinion on how that data should be structured for your use case. You'll need to create callback functions, inspect the raw data, and decide how you're going to use it.

Usage

Get the code:

go get github.com/dotabuff/manta

Use it to parse a replay:

Developing

You can run make update to re-generate protobufs and callbacks based on the SteamDatabase/Protobufs project.

License

Manta is distributed under the MIT license.

Code of Conduct

Manta has adopted the Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct.

Getting Help

The best place to ask questions about Dota 2 replay parsing is the #dota2replay channel on QuakeNet, where we're happy to answer any questions you may have. Please only open Github issues for actual bugs in manta, not questions about usage.
