Hi

I'm korean user

(sorry for my english..)



since 2003 i used bwchart very useful

and when patch 1.18, bwchart 1.0x series didn't work

but then jca2 updated bwchart 2.00B, so used it very well

but blizzard patched 1.21, now bwchart doesn't work again


i sent pm to jca2 for request for remaking bwchart

but i don't know when jca2 would read it

can someone find out why doesn't bwchart work to 1.21?

bwchart 2.00B working 1.18~1.20.11's replays but 1.21's


if you need 1.20.11, 1.21 replays is here.

1.21's replay(doesn't work bwchart)

1.20.11's replay(bwchart work well)

and bwchart 2.00B's link is here

Here you go. If you had previously added 1.21 replays to your database, you will have to rebuild it to see the correct engine version.

The work is still in progress as there are new actions in the replay. I need more time to understand what they are and learn how to decode them. For example, you will see the new "select121" action, that is nothing more than a usual select except that the unit IDs are stored on 4 bytes instead of 2. I assume the other new actions are also variants of existing ones. We'll see.

load, unload, lay mine, any other energy skill and nuke launch in 0x61 too

shift deselect in 0x65
shift select in 0x64
lost vision on selected unit in 'Deselect'
Bunker's all unload in 'Unload all'
One click unload from Bunker, Dropship in 0x62

For me, I need to open BWChart a couple of times before it will tell me which replay is causing the crash.

So, try 1: opens 1/2 way, crashes
Try 2: opens 1/2 way, says "replay #### is corrupt, please remove"
Before clicking OK I just use the search function to find the ### and delete it
Press ok afterwards, BWChart opens. Upon opening it will likely pop up with a list of corrupt replays that it wants to move to another folder. This notification never goes away for me, even if I've already said "yes move to another folder." For whatever reason there are replays that prevent BWChart from opening entirely (crash on startup) and replays that just cause the pop-up but otherwise let you open BWChart.

If there is more than one corrupt replay preventing BWChart from opening you have to do the above process for each one. So if you have 4 corrupt replays that need to be manually deleted, you will do the above, delete replay #1, then hit OK and BWChart will just crash again. Then you open it again, it crashes again. Then you open it again, it will say "replay #2 is corrupt, please delete it" etc.

Ye deleting all the replays that were corrupt by hand did actually help. Why doesn't have the programm a feature to auto delete (or auto move them into a "corrupt replays" directory) them though? I deleted one and still encountered the "same" mistake (didnt really take a look on the replay name since the autosave naming of replays is quite bad in SC:R) but it was just another replay that was corrupt. After deleting them all one by one it works normally. Thank you very much Chrysanthemum.

Just curious, is APM broken in this version? Or is apm broken inside of starcraft? I just played a game, bwchart said my apm was 165 my opponent was 266, after the game though it says my apm is 193, opponent is 275. SC seems to be counting some actions bwchart does not.

I believe classic bwchart doesn't count the camera hotkeys. Don't know if it is updated in the latest versions.

It seems to be more than camera hotkeys not being counted. I noticed some small discrepancies prior to the latest patch between blizzard's apm and bwchart's apm--from 10 to 40 apm generally. I average between 300 and 400 apm but most of my recent games bwchart is saying I'm at about 150 apm. I just played a game where I had 380 apm according to the blizz end-game counter, but 180 apm according to bwchart. What's curious is that my opponent also had 350 end-game counter apm, which bwchart came much closer to--323 apm.

Looking at the hotkeys recorded it seems that bwchart is counting my hotkey presses fairly accurately. It looks like maybe my mouse use is not being counted.

BWChart also doesn't count the first two minutes of the game. I think what's most annoying in this version is the crashes when refreshing replays due to corrupt replays.

jca2, what do you think about making available sources somewhere at github for example, so the community could help. at least we can do that for replay parser part.

Strange, that's the one I currently have. I can't view any replays past around late December, every replay after is "corrupt."

Upon further testing it seems that something like 25% of the replays are corrupt such that BWChart crashes on launch. Given that BWChart requires you to launch it, see what number replay is breaking the program, delete that replay, re-launch, crash, then launch again for each replay that does this, 25% broken might as well be 100% broken; it's not feasible for me to go through and find them all. I did the above process for about 10 replays, which took almost 30 minutes, and that only took me from December 24 to December 28.

Sure, here's a few: http://www.mediafire.com/file/ruuobg5tdewpt23/Corrupt_Replays.rar

I only did 2 day's worth of them, and opened each one up in BW. It looks like every game affected involved me being an observer via the new observer function.

Awesome, thanks for your hard work. This versions appears to have eliminated 99% of the corruption issues. There were three corrupt replays remaining: a couple of replays of random UMS games and one replay of an actual game where I was an observer. If you want to see the latter replay it's here (http://www.mediafire.com/file/ynb49ibuwcg90yh/010139-Fighting_Spirit_1.3%28.rep) but given that you fixed the vast majority of the issues I was having I wouldn't blame you at all if you didn't think taking a look was worth the time. Thanks again.

Is 2.00C supposed to work with remastered?

It just says it couldn't open the game. I made sure the path to Starcraft.exe is the right one.
