This is how to interpret the barracks_status and tower_status results from the API

[MuppetMaster42]

snip

back when this was written the barracks_status fields were a broken copy of each other.
It was hard to tell exactly what was what for what team....

If I remember rightly - when it was deciphered (all that time ago.. I forget who did the barracks status field..) it was only working for the dire..
(and deciphering it was made even harder by the fact that 9 times out of 10.. it was either all racks gone or none gone for dire... vary rarely was it certain combinations..)

When it started working - we assumed that the two teams would work in the same way...
but from what you're saying - apparently the radiant is reversed.
i'll have a look when I get home from work and update things as necessary.

Getting conflicting results on the tower_status number too.

Match ID: 162608771
tower_status_radiant: 1846
binary: 11100110110
Watching replay: All tier 4 and tier 3 remaining. Tier 2 top and mid remaining.

tower_status_dire: 256
binary: 00100000000
Watching replay: Tier 3 bot only one remaining

This conflicts with the original post in the thread but is the same as what is on the API thread on the teamfortress wiki:

Ancient Top
Ancient Bottom
Bottom Tier 3
Bottom Tier 2
Bottom Tier 1
Middle Tier 3
Middle Tier 2
Middle Tier 1
Top Tier 3
Top Tier 2
Top Tier 1

interesting.. i thought that I got the towers correct when I worked it out all those months ago (9 months ago now)...
you're the first one to have corrected it! lol

if it's correct on the wiki, then you are correct on both counts..
I clearly mixed it up when I did it!

I have updated my faq sticky with links to the wiki.

Finally got around to implementing this. I'm using tables with images rather than than images on a map. Example: http://www.datdota.com/match.php?q=223010600&p=towers

Here's the php code (assumes that $towerRadiant is the "radiant_tower_status" from the API etc):

 $radTowerBin = sprintf('%011b', $towerRadiant );
        $direTowerBin = sprintf('%011b', $towerDire );
        $radRaxBin = sprintf('%08b', $raxRadiant );
        $direRaxBin = sprintf('%08b', $raxDire );

        if( $radWin == 1 ){
            $winnerArray[0] = "<img src=\"images/map/radiant_ancient.png\" alt=\"1\">";
            $winnerArray[1] = "<img src=\"images/map/big_x.png\" alt=\"1\">";
        } else {
            $winnerArray[0] = "<img src=\"images/map/big_x.png\" alt=\"1\">";
            $winnerArray[1] = "<img src=\"images/map/dire_ancient.png\" alt=\"1\">";
        }
        for( $i = 0; $i < 11; $i++ ){
            if( $radTowerBin[$i] == 1 ){
                $radTowerArray[$i] = "<img src=\"images/map/radiant_tower.png\" alt=\"1\">";  
            } else {
                $radTowerArray[$i] = "<img src=\"images/map/big_x.png\" alt=\"1\">";
            }
            if( $direTowerBin[$i] == 1 ){
                $direTowerArray[$i] = "<img src=\"images/map/dire_tower.png\" alt=\"1\">";
            } else {
                $direTowerArray[$i] = "<img src=\"images/map/big_x.png\" alt=\"1\">";
            }
        }
        for( $i = 2; $i < 8; $i++ ){
            if( $radRaxBin[$i] == 1 ){
                $radRaxArray[$i-2] = "<img src=\"images/map/radiant_rax.png\" alt=\"1\">";  
            } else {
                $radRaxArray[$i-2] = "<img src=\"images/map/big_x.png\" alt=\"1\">";
            }
            if( $direRaxBin[$i] == 1 ){
                $direRaxArray[$i-2] = "<img src=\"images/map/dire_rax.png\" alt=\"1\">";
            } else {
                $direRaxArray[$i-2] = "<img src=\"images/map/big_x.png\" alt=\"1\">";
            }
        }
        
        //rax, first 2 are not used, not using them in the array
        //bottom ranged, bottom melee, mid ranged, mid melee, top ranged, top melee

Just looking at this, and this order still isn't *quite* correct. The ancient top/bottom towers are swapped and should be:

Ancient Bottom
Ancient Top
Bottom Tier 3
Bottom Tier 2
Bottom Tier 1
Middle Tier 3
Middle Tier 2
Middle Tier 1
Top Tier 3
Top Tier 2
Top Tier 1

This makes it a little bit more aesthetically pleasing, with bottom always coming before top!

Have you confirmed this experimentally? I trust you, so if you have, can you update the TF2 wiki here: https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/W...s#Tower_Status. It claims that Top and Bottom are opposite of yours.

[scottrick]

Yeah I have; I based my original implementation on that wiki page, and I noticed the ancient towers were incorrect. To be sure, I found two different matches (one each for dire and radiant) with one ancient tower remaining and verified the tower status by watching the replay in the dota2 client. What I posted is correct, and also matches dotabuff as well.

I updated the wiki page.
