just because our source is open doesn't mean servers like fish or iccup can't create their own closed-source binaries with protection mechanisms. We could just put a clause in the license or give permission to do so on an individual basis.
It would still be open source to a degree since the javascript code has to be sent to the web browser. Also, there would be nothing stopping someone from taking the OpenBW source and emulating private binaries.

the game client will be an executable compiled from c++. The JavaScript is only for the replay viewer.
regarding emulation of private binaries: yes, I've been thinking about that for a while. Probably there is a way to prevent that. Involving private/public key encryption, file checksums, and automatic updates.
It has been a while since my cryptography internship, but tscmoo has a concept in mind as well and I would probably trust his more than mine :p.
Cool, could be used now for the LetaBot vs Krasi0 showmatch for the SSCAI.
Yes, I would say the replay viewer is ready to be used by casters now ^^ Maybe adjust habits to read upgrades from the upgrades tab rather than selecting a unit (there is no unit detail info yet).

zoom and fog of war are both scheduled. see also here: feature poll
I'm having a replay break for me. The usual thing where workers keep mining and nothing gets produced when that clearly isn't what happened in the real game. Tested it three times and it broke every time on the replay viewer. Tested it on normal launched starcraft and the replay did not break.

Hmm, I was trying to watch a replay like 4 times and it kept crashing (well the replay stopped running, chrome didn't crash or anything), and then I tried to take note of how it happened, and I recreated it 4x or so to confirm.
I was watching ICELab bot on one of the blue maps, not exactly sure which opponent he had. I'm trying to make it happen again, and now everything is running fine.
Sorry about that. If I see anything, I'll be more specific next time.

vod plz
What if they gave you a VOD and it was you in the finals and then you slowly realize you're actually just an AI and it wasn't you who improved and became gosu at Starcraft after all these years but rather you've been programmed to improve little by little every day. It was all in your code. Very spooky.
