I am currently working on two new features. Because they require a dll injected into the Starcraft process, they will not be included in Chaosplugin. So I need a new cool name for this plugin. Currently I'm thinking of StormPlugin, but if you have any suggestions feel free to post them here.
Both plugins have a working prototype, but it may take some time to make them ready for public use.(Currently they can't be loaded with Chaoslauncher).

1. SelectionCircles
This feature draws circles around the units a player has selected. The circles look like the ones displayed in team-melee and are in the color of the player. Currently it is always active, and prevents joining bnet after injection. I plan to enable it only in replays and for observers(similar conditions as obsmode of AdvLoader). Currently I no longer have a runnable version, so I'll postpone the screenshot.

2. UnshiftHotkeys
This feature is for french(azerty)keyboards. It allows the usage of hotkeys without capslock. Currently it always swaps the number with symbol on the same key. I have to add that this only happens when ingame, and preferably only when the chatbox is not visible.

And the promised screenshot:

White and blue selection is of observers here, and yellow of the player.

If you stare very hard the marine might be white, but I agree that it is hard to differentiate.

Fantastic plugin there, would also really help to track micro moves and techniques

First usable version of selectioncircles.
http://winner.cspsx.de/Starcraft/Tool/SelectionCirclesDll.zip
It is no bwl-plugin. Instead you have to run load.exe after starting starcraft. (If there are hackusers among you, they should know this^^)

It enables itself in replays and when it considers a player an observer. You become an observer if you have max 1 supply during the first 2 minutes. You lose observerstatus if you gain more than 1 supply(When that happens black selectioncircles may remain for the rest of the game around the units).
I have not tested what effects it has on a team-melee game.

Sick. I'll try it out shortly! Should I assume I shouldn't have the program running if I intend to iCCup?

You are planning to make it into a BWL plugin though, aren't you?

I plan to extend the bwl api a bit for this. Because im the launcher should do the injection. And the Unshift plugin has to know the ThreadID of the starcraft mainthread(or has to be loaded by the mainthread). So I plan to inject by overwriting Starcrafts entrypoint in memory instead of createremotethread or setwindowshookex. The overwriting itself already works, but the communication between the launcher and the loaderdll does not work yet.
And I want to create a new framework for injected plugins.
So the plugin creation will take some time.

Sounds good, I've always thought the api should support injection as well (and had to make some hackish code to get my dll injected for APMAlert), so that sounds great to me, no matter how long it takes
