It reduces your CPU usage when running BW.

It looks like you double posted BWRepLib.

Wow, this is awesome collection! Most of them sound well known to me, some of them I never heard. I really like works of MasterOfChaos and mca. ShittyPlugin is the most useful nowadays plugin even if name sounds juicy. I run it without launcher by injecting that dll into Infected StarCraft. Hoping for description update for each of it.

What about starcraft HD? I think that its maybe the most important development for the future of our beloved game. Its not open source? Anyway, all these projects are awesome and deserve our hype and support.

He meant Resolution Hack. I know apart from that hack there is if I'm not mistaken another hack which is called Resolution Expander? So, we got two types of that, but the common used is RH. Author: hellinsect. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/brood-war/485666-watching-broodwar-replays-in-hd

But is not open source and therefore doesn't qualify for this list

I have the source to my RWA plugins sitting around somewhere, I'll upload them to github later.

Also I believe you made an error copy-pasting for CPUSavior. It's most definitely C++ and not Visual Basic

Award for most useful but unknown Brood War tool. Lets you search replays by build orders, sort through massive libraries of replays etc. Has special functionality to download replays with massive indexed packages, which I'm pretty sure still works for no good reason (the packages are things like all wgtour replays from x season (wgtour you had to upload the replay of every game you played, iirc).

Could you please add links to "installers/executables" (not only links to sources) ?

For example - latest chkdraft:

My BW events/showmatches: https://tinyurl.com/theleo-fund / This will be awesome if they manage to only improve the graphics but keep the gameplay EXACTLY THE SAME. One thing that makes BW great to watch is actually the buggy pathfinding (c) Dante08

Use liquipedia or Google to find executables, I don't want to be updating the OP whenever updates come out.

If im not mistaken the same guy made website and whole system for Polish ladder on Netcraft, back in 2006y. It worked similiar to WGT, there was LAN latency and replays could be auto uploaded after a game (i think this made MasterofChaos).Hard to belive that i can still download my ladder games from 2006y and Netcraft still exists.
