Hey guys I'm trying to make a replay program, I'm just getting started. I've been able to locate the blocks of data but I don't know how to decompress them. I'm using C# and zlib.net

i really really really will appreciate any help because I haven't been able to find any good documentation

A replay program for....?

haha after reading what i first posted i now realize how extremely vague i was in asking the question.

by replay program i meant warcraft III. i consider this whole forum a Battle.net forum. sorry  :P

I solved it. I've already managed to extract player names out of it.. Ive decided to use SharpZipLib instead of ZLIB, I think it's much easier to use... I figured out how to decompress data in 10 minutes, and haven't been able to figure out ZLIB for days (maybe im stupid)

Not necessarily.  It just depends what you need.  When I was working on my WoW client I was having trouble with some files and it turned out that the problem was with using #ziplib, because it threw an exception at the end of the file, whereas zlib returns what you're reading but signals an error with an error code.  I was able to ignore the error code and it worked correctly.
