[Software] SCRChart - Replay analyzer

Why is there no mineral/gas/supply graph?
The reason for this is: Its not stored in replays.
The replays just stores the commands of the players. All other things are done by the StarCraft engine itself when you load the replay ingame.
As example: In the replay only commands like these are stored:

• Player A builds probe
  
• Player A sends probe to minerals
  Thats it. There is NO information about:
  
• how long it takes for the probe to go to the minerals,
  
• how long it takes to mine the minerals,
  
• if there is any harassment that caused the probe to die,
  
• if the mineral block is mined out,
  
• if the probe automatically goes to a nearby mineral block
  So this makes it impossible to have a safe way to calculate the minerals. This calculation is done by the StarCraft engine. It is not in the replay.
  

Why are there so many duplicates in the units tab?
This is because the replay stores the commands used to build a unit, however it does not store if the command was actually successfully executed. This is decided by the StarCraft engine.
So for example, if you want to build a probe, but you dont have enough minerals or supply, the replay will still record the "build probe" command. That means that there are multiple build commands and usually only one of them is successful (the one after the minerals were high enough or the pylon finished)
And since people spam the "build unit" buttom all the time its impossible to know how many units were actually queued in the building. (Remember we don't know the mineral/gas/supply count)
Btw: The same is true for buildings and upgrades, but since people dont spam their buildings or upgrade commands that much compared to build unit commands its not as bad.

Why is there no information about the winner of the game?
Again the same reason: Its not stored in the replay. Only the commands of the players are stored in the replay.
There were some ideas to figure out the winner from the commands:

• There is a "Leave game" command, so if a player leaves the game, the other player is the winner
  Sadly this does not work in all games were the loser is the player who saved the replay, since for this player the game, and with that the replay actually ended when he left the game. There is no "leave game"-command in the replay in this case.
  A "Leave game" command is only stored in the replay if the person saving the replay actually witnessed someone else leaving. So basically it is only available if the winner saved the replay.
  
• The loser is the person writing "gg".
  Not everyone writes "gg"
  There are so many variants: "ggyo", "good game", "bg", "i have to leave", "f***king hacker", ............you get the idea.
  The winner sometimes write an offensive "gg" to make the other player leave
  

Btw: The player saving the replay is NOT stored in the replay.

Will the source code be hosted on GitHub or similar platforms?
Yes, i will open source SCRChart on GitHub in the future (probably in around 6-9 months.)
I want the software to become established in the scene first and i still have a few major features planned that i want to finish first and release them in the coming versions before i release it on Github.

Are you working for Blizzard?
No, I'm doing this completely in my freetime next to my fulltime job as a software developer.

Will you disappear and don't update SCRChart after patches so we are left with a broken software with no way to fix it?
I'm glad you ask
I'm very sad myself when that happens with projects that I like.
Of course its completely understandable that some people have a lot to do in real life or change their interests over the years and move on from StarCraft.
However I play StarCraft for over 15+ years already and apart from short breaks I was always a very active member of the community.
I'm not just a software developer who thought it would be cool to do something StarCraft related.
I'm and always was a part of the community, being active on wgtour/pgtour/iccup/remastered ladder, playing in clans and CWs, playing tournaments, streaming, helping organising leagues and tournaments (I was a wgtour and iccup admin), helping newer players out.
Long story short: StarCraft has been and still remains such a big part of my life and I don't see myself leaving the game and the community before StarCraft itself dies (hopefully never :smiley: )

Can I support you somehow?
Yes! There are several way to support the project:

• Join the official discord server and give feedback/opinions/ideas and discuss those with other users
  
• Follow my stream on twitch and talk to me there: https://www.twitch.tv/MasterReY/ (this is my favorite way to support! I like live interaction with other StarCraft players!)
  I will always read the chat and talk to any viewers using the chat. I will also sometimes show SCRChart and talk about new features/improvements etc on my stream.
  
• Spread the word about SCRChart, but also about StarCraft in general!
  
• If you have no additional feedback and watching twitch streams is not your cup of tea, but you still want to support me, there is also a donation link: https://www.paypal.me/SupportMasterReY
