A new BWScanner is almost ready. He is currently just retouching its user graphics interphase, the program itself is ready. This time it is more than just BWscanner, it is all of his collective work bundled into one easy to use package.
TraveltoAiur, known as Saint Steven by fog of war worshipers, has been working diligenlty on his new project. He has reprogramed BWscanner from scratch and bundled all his programs into one. He has added to it the BWMap picker, the slot maker and the Starcraft launcher. It will also have protection against the infamous crash hack and the most important feature, it has laid to waste attempts to make its old version less reliable by abusers. It will have other feautures that you can check out at bwscanner.com.
You will need Microsoft .NET framework Version 1.1 Redistributable Package (23698 KB) to run it, a bunch of dll files for running new microsoft technologies, that you can obtain at NET framework microsoft. Sooner or later you might have to download it for newer microsoft software. Because of the fact that he has reprogramed it from scratch some who used to get error messages will be free of them
You may argue that no program is perfect and that all anit-hacks will be overcomed. This is true if there are no continuous updates. TraveltoAuir pretty much all by himself has managed to try and compensate for Blizzard’s failed promise of a fair ladder that was spoiled by cheaters and their lack of personal commitment to up keep it. Maybe the new patch is just an attempt after almost 7 years to make this promise right, but then again maybe not. In the meanwhile Saint Steven watches over us and he has my personal gratitude.

sounds like a lot of word to innstall
|
well i don't know if i like the idea, i got likr 856 Kb free in my disc, so i doubt i would be able to install it

Seems like a lot of hard work for one person to handle.
Nice work though.
GJ TraveltoAiur!

how the crap are your computer still working?!?!??
just diasable system restore and you'll have a ton of space leftover.

hm .net framwork, from my experience it slows down the computer and fps games feels more laggy..
|
You must also be running Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 or later for all installations of the .NET Framework. Install Internet Explorer 6.0 Service Pack 1.
i hate microsoft
|
bah!!!!!! i don't want to install net framework. it blows beyond belief.
also i hope you can choose what to install from that bundle, not just installs everything.
anyways, that's it for wgt. not installing net framework. pgt here i come.
however, that's only my personal preferance.
gw traveltoaiur. you're doing great work for the bw community

"added features that will make a game look like a replay ( except the game-speed... ) when you are observing a game!"
awesome!

sounds awsome thanks for the hard work TraveltoAuir

Okay so basically your comp will crash if you surf for much longer (if you have cookies enabled etc).
You know.
I suggest you empty your temporary internet files and clear your cookies just as a temporary solution ;p
Assuming you've never done this, there's probably a couple of 100 mb in there :D
Oh and..
Then 1.12 comes a week later and he has to do everything all over again?

yeah 1.12 sucks lol 
But hey, I'll post it for 1.11 so that you can get it working at least once in your life lol ^^
see you soon on bwscanner.com

eheh, at least we will know how to fill our freetime with this 1.12  i dont know exactly how hard it will be yet, but tell me if i can help you since i will have to convert a few dozen of offsets in penguinplug, i can share the things i will find with you if it can help.
I wouldnt say it's this 1.12 is a bad thing, cheat creators will have to suffer too. I just pray for no "surprise" 1.12b and 1.12c a month after
Edit: about .net i cant say it's realy something i love, but if it means moving bwscanner from "plain VB" to "c under .net", it's still a step in the right direction in my opinion.

gw traveltoaiur. you're doing great work for the bw community Do you even know what .net framework is?
As for bws, the timing seems kinda odd. I wouldnt be surprised if part of blizzards massive 1.12 update includes lots of new security technology, which might hold off hackers for quite some time, and definately render your program useless for a good while. Aside from the anti-cheat features of bws, you might not ever get it working again with whatever changes blizzard makes to sc. I doubt it will simply be the updating of a few offsets.
I guess you had put all this work into it only to be surprised by bliz's announcement so you might as well release it? heh.

yes i do.
and it has previously caused me problems with my computer.
that answer your question?

moving to assembler would be a better move methinks
programs made in it dont need 25mb framework+internet explorer+service pack to run...
it will be probably 100mb -_-
whole starcraft can take like 120mb, with the fake install.exe (27mb)
|
I just realized...when 1.12 comes out we're gonna have about a few days of guaranteed no hacking.

Most likely more than just a few days.

Its probably really good to use it right now because nobody is going around hacking it or disrupting its development, so the simple act of using it is almost guaranteeing some semblance of security. And once it becomes too ambitious for microsoft to develop, or just plain useless once everyone decides to forgo it and write their own network code like most do today, then we'll be right back where we started.
As for the file size, downloading the .net framework will only encompass the size that it states for installation, around 23megs. BWS will not suddenly become huge, it will just utilize the components in .net to do its business. So its really gonna be bws+.net= 24-25 megs maybe. Not really sure how large of a program bws is by itself, but it cant be that big for what it does.
edit: ok i see youre talking about everything necessary for even installing NET. Well i think most of us are probably already MS users in the sense that we have IE installed and sp1/2. Whether or not we actually run them is a different story. But if you cant afford 100megs of total install space, well that doesnt really bother me, get a better comp

hopefully most of programmers dont think like you - "get a better comp", pgtour launcher (with the irritating deletion of servers) +ngi launcher+bwscanner would take 300mb -_-
like most new games arent optimized at all, that's why they run slowly like shit
well good that such thing was created, I hope it will detect all maphacks, not like the previous one

what are you talking about. Where are you getting this 300meg number? Assuming you already have a windows based system, the only likely decrease in harddrive space is going to be around 25megs for the .NET stuff. Ngi, pgt, and bws will still be the same ole 500k-2meg files, or whatever their current sizes are. Just because they are utilizing a large program does not mean they too all the sudden become large. .NET is like the directx of network code. It does not require any additional storage space to use just because youre utilizing it.
Like i said, most of us are looking at a 25meg download, whoopdie friggin deal. And speed optimizations will never be noticed in app's as small as anti-cheat tools for starcraft.

3.0 maybe? soon!
