Big feature list:

• Added TTyRec file Download window (CTRL+G). Can now browse and select files to play straight from servers.
• Added Configuration Window (CTRL+C). Adjustable options are Maximum length of pause between frames, pause between frames(for performance), Time Step with arrows keys length and window to open on start.
• Added TTyRec Data Search window (CTRL+F). In this window the entered string is searched through the whole TTyRec allowing for some pretty fine grained searches.
• Added Playback Seek Bar. Indicates play length, can be controlled with mouse
• Highlight Handling. Reads monsters statuses from highlighting(sleeping, confused...), Indicates highlights on ground
• Image Drawing Refactor. Now Uses Skia(SkiaSharp) instead of System.Drawing for future cross platform compatibility.
• Slim Putty down to the minimum Required. This removes windows dependency, so now can be built for any platform for future cross-compatibility

Big feature list:

• Added max time between frame control! No more long pauses, current hard coded value is 500ms, any longer than that gets cut off to keep the flow smooth.

• Better playback handling! left and right arrow jumps forward/back 5 sec, comma(,) and dot(.) now can step through frames 1-by-1!
• We now have caching, for monsters and other objects that move out of sight - this is done by tracking objects that are the most common on screen for the previous frame and then using that for every tile that is considered out of sight.
• The character can now hold weapons and change forms
• Added different display modes: you can switch around the places of tiles display and console with A, or for console purist a full console mode is available with S

Improvements :

• Skeletons and corpses now somewhat represented
• Better monster override rules(overrides happen mostly when specific monsters are in view), always room for improvement
• Statuses are now colored
• Text at the top now has useful info displayed
• Taskbar now displays the DCSSReplay icon
• Noise/Gold is now displayed
• Show Lost Health/Mana

Big feature list:

• We have only 1 window now! No more messing around with the console focus

• BIG Refactoring of all the code that does something related to image generation, it's not that much a mess anymore, I swear!
• Removed SlimDX and upgraded from net framework 4 to 4.7.2, we are finally in the present
• Migrated libraries to net standard 2.0

Improvements :

• Fixed black screen bug, that I didn't even know was a bug, amazing find
• Better monster rules, so we get them right more often
• Use the right side monster list to decide what monster is on screen
• Differentiate between items on the ground as much as possible
• We have an icon now
• Updating to newer framework version allowed easy access to bz2 decompression, so that's in now

Fix not launching on fresh install

it should now work when installed.
use ctrl+c, to re-configure console view

A few Hotfixes

Sadly it's currently not working on a fresh install! because it's not creating the appdata/roaming folder and files you need to copy in the folder yourself, I have added the zip file with the folder

• Fix some monsters not appearing
• Remove bz2, since it didn't work correctly (will come back)
• add monster health display
• remove lost health indicator (will also come back)

DCSSReplay is in alpha

First Release!

The code needs a lot of refactoring. But it works! you can get your fix of ttyrecs with some visual tiles finally.

I have also created a .msi installer, it should work.
