# [Rattletrap](https://github.com/tfausak/rattletrap)

[![CI](https://github.com/tfausak/rattletrap/actions/workflows/ci.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/tfausak/rattletrap/actions/workflows/ci.yml)
[![Hackage](https://badgen.net/hackage/v/rattletrap)](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/rattletrap)

Rattletrap parses and generates [Rocket League][] replays. Parsing replays can
be used to analyze data in order to collect high-level statistics like players
and points, or low-level details like positions and cameras. Generating replays
can be used to modify replays in order to force everyone into the same car or
change the map a game was played on.

Rattletrap supports every version of Rocket League up to [2.45][], which was
released on 2024-10-22. If a replay can be played by the Rocket League client,
it can be parsed by Rattletrap. (If not, that's a bug. Please report it!)

## Install

Rattletrap is a command-line application. You should only use it if you're
comfortable running things in terminals or command prompts. Otherwise consider
using another tool like [Ball Chasing][].

The best way to get Rattletrap is by downloading [the latest release][] for
your platform.

Rattletrap is written in [Haskell][]. If you'd like to use a program written in
a different language, consider one of the following:

- (C#)
- (Rust)
- (C++)

## Replays

Rocket League saves your replays in a folder that depends on your operating
system.

- Windows:
- `%UserProfile%/Documents/My Games/Rocket League/TAGame/Demos`
- For example: `C:/Users/Taylor/Documents/My Games/Rocket League/TAGame/Demos`
- macOS:
- `$HOME/Library/Application Support/Rocket League/TAGame/Demos`
- For example: `/Users/taylor/Library/Application Support/Rocket League/TAGame/Demos`
- Linux:
- `$HOME/.local/share/Rocket League/TAGame/Demos`
- For example: `/home/taylor/.local/share/Rocket League/TAGame/Demos`

## Interface

Rattletrap is a command line application.

``` sh
$ rattletrap --help
```

```
rattletrap version 12.0.0
-c --compact minify JSON output
-f --fast only encode or decode the header
-h --help show the help
-i FILE|URL --input=FILE|URL input file or URL
-m MODE --mode=MODE decode or encode
-o FILE --output=FILE output file
--schema output the schema
--skip-crc skip the CRC
-v --version show the version
```

By default Rattletrap will try to determine the appropriate mode (either decode
or encode) based on the file extensions of the input or output. You can
override this behavior by passing `--mode` (or `-m`) with either `decode` or
`encode`.

Input extension | Output extension | Mode
--- | --- | ---
`.replay` | anything | `decode` (parse)
`.json` | anything | `encode` (generate)
anything | `.replay` | `encode` (generate)
anything | `.json` | `decode` (parse)
anything | anything | `decode` (parse)

## Parse

Rattletrap can parse (decode) Rocket League replays and output them as JSON.

``` sh
$ rattletrap --input http://example.com/input.replay --output output.json
# or
$ rattletrap -i input.replay -o output.json
# or
$ rattletrap < input.replay > output.json
```

The input argument can either be a local path or a URL.

By default the JSON is pretty-printed. To minify the JSON, pass `--compact` (or
`-c`) to Rattletrap. Even when the JSON is minified, it's extremely large. The
output can be up to 100 times larger than the input. For example, a 1.5 MB
replay turns into 31 MB of minified JSON or 159 MB of pretty-printed JSON.

## Generate

Rattletrap can also generate (encode) Rocket League replays from JSON files.

``` sh
$ rattletrap --input http://example.com/input.json --output output.replay
# or
$ rattletrap -i input.json -o output.replay
# or
$ rattletrap --mode encode < input.json > output.replay
```

The input argument can either be a local path or a URL.

If the JSON was generated by Rattletrap, the output replay will be bit-for-bit
identical to the input replay.

## Modify

By inserting another program between parsing and generating, Rattletrap can be
used to modify replays.

``` sh
$ rattletrap -i input.replay |
modify-replay-json |
rattletrap -o output.replay
```
