****EDIT****: Problem solved thx to Scan and toriak! If you wanna play games w/ WLauncher on Fish follow these steps:

Quick summary on how to get WLauncher to work on Fish:

1) Follow this thread (DL WLauncher and setup your WLauncher settings as shown): https://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/46il88/fish_server_a_detailed_an_extensive_guide/

2) Go to Control Panel > Region and Language

3) Under Formats (tab) select Korean

4) Under Administrative (tab) click "Change system locale" and select Korean

5) Under Keyboards and Languages click "Change Keyboards" and add Korean + Microsoft IME, make it your default language (from English). Please note that your keyboard layout will change back to english once you alt tab into BW. You're gonna need to right click your language icon (on desktop) and select "Show/Restore the language bar" in order to have a floating bar on your desktop. That way you'll be able to switch to Hangul (korean) inside the lobby.

6) Run SC, create a game and type "sksms gksrnrdls", this will only work if you can see hangul inside the lobby (which is why we switched System Locale and Format to Korean). Typing that gives 나는 한국인 which enables all your WLauncher features (WDetector etc.).

7) Switch your keyboard layout back to english

8) You need to type "sksms gksrnrdls" (make sure you write it on a piece of paper or notepad to remember it) to enable WLauncher every time you restart BW

9) HF laddering!

___________________________________________


For some reason my WLauncher never works on Fish. When i join a game i always get an error message (im assuming thats what it is because i never see anyone's WLauncher version).

What am i doing wrong? I followed this guide when installing the launcher: https://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/46il88/fish_server_a_detailed_an_extensive_guide/

Change your system locale.

Control Panel -> Clock, Language, and Region

From English to Korean.

When you run sc, create/join a gameroom and then type "sksms gksrnrdls(나는 한국인)" in korean keyboard layout.

You will have full wlauncher features.
Trying my best for ASL, ASTL

EDIT:

During the installation i unchecked 3 boxes (because the guide said they were junk), 1 of them was called "WLAUNCHER" and the other 2 were in korean, was i supposed to do that?

In lobby u must see hangul. Go to language and regional options in windows and change both format and location to korean (system locale too of course). Try again in lobby, it should work now.

Hmmm well i think my Wlauncher is working because i just played a #l2 game without getting disced, that must mean my wdetector is working, right?

I just find it odd that im getting banned so much and that i cant get to see the ingame player list w/ WLauncher versions (but thats because i dont have the features enabled?)..

no it just means that your latency changer works. Wdetector is not activated until u can see time/date/player list.
You would get disced from #w games

I see the player list/WLauncher Version/NAT (i guess thats location? what does 0 NAT mean?)

yo TT1. the right alt button switches from korean to english, whilst shift+alt switches between keyboards. its nice, for long time i had my language bar maximized and fought tooth and nail, then learned this, omg, never had a problem since, and language bar stayes minimized since as well. lol.

yes, and be sure to switch back to american keyboard (left alt + shift) afterwards, or you wont be able to set hotkeys with the right control button.

Really wish they'd remove "sksms gksrnrdls", would make it so much easier for foreigners to use WLauncher. I also don't like having my Format/Location/System Locale as Korean, oh well sacrifices must be made
