Gamecache file format?

I am extracting some info from the game, but the fastest way would be to take a map and make it store it on the gamecache, then make a program that converts the file into a text file and print.

It would have been a great idea if I knew anything about that format

Gamecache files are packed, you first need to unpack them before anything else.
Check my old tool here, it may help you a bit.

AIAndy has programmed such a tool which he used for logging AMAI.
If he's still around he might be able to help you.

The pack format is the same as replay, but we need more info on extracting detail infomation

Yes I knew that he made something with gamecache, but he wasn't active for a while.

Thanks Blackdick, Vexorian should learn to use the search feature.

Also you reminded me that I should move the old threads that are related to programming to this forum

Just an additional piece of information:
The "packed" file format is also used on replays as Soar pointed out, but I never managed how to calculate it´s CRC. Blizzard somehow protected the replays with this CRC / Hash and I don´t know how to get the unpacked file back to packed format without file corruption.

If we managed to calculate it, we could edit replays and I don´t think Blizzard want it done. You should check with Soar, I am not on the "replay" business anymore.
