What is a .SMPD file?
The .SMPD file extension stands for Sc2gears Mouse Print Data File. This type of file is specifically created by a program called Sc2gears, which is used to analyze replay files from the game StarCraft 2. These replay files are saved with the .SC2REPLAY extension.
A .SMPD file contains data about the mouse movements that occurred during a StarCraft 2 game. This data is recorded in real-time as the game is played. The purpose of recording this data is to allow players to review their mouse movements through a visual graph and to analyze statistics related to their mouse activity during the game.
To open a .SMPD file, you need to use the Sc2gears program. This program is capable of running in the background on Windows computers, and it can automatically detect when a StarCraft 2 game starts and stops. When the game finishes, Sc2gears can automatically create an SMPD file that captures all the mouse movements made during the game.
If you want Sc2gears to save these mouse movement data files automatically, you need to adjust some settings in the program: 1. Open Sc2gears and go to the application menu. 2. Click on Settings, then go to Miscellaneous settings. 3. Find the "Mouse print" tab and check the box next to "Save mouse prints of all games." Note that you also need to have the APM Alert feature enabled for this automatic saving to work.
Additionally, you can manually start and stop the recording of mouse movements in Sc2gears: 1. Open the "Mouse print recorder" window in Sc2gears. 2. Click the "Start recording" button to begin recording your mouse movements. 3. When you want to stop recording, click the "Stop recording" button.
The .SMPD files can be saved in either a compressed or uncompressed format, depending on your preference and needs for storage space.
