<h2>Now available at http://bwchart.teamliquid.net/ </h2>

All credit to JCA.
I don't have the ability to resolve the fact that he can't upload to bwchart.teamliquid.net--hopefully someone who does will be able to help soon


From JCA
Hi, I still dont have any idea how to update bwchart.com, so here is a new version. I fixed a few bugs, added smooth curves, and a new chart called "Map Coverage". It tells you two things:

1-how much percentage of the map you have buildings on (it doesnt care about buildings that were destroyed, of course)
2-how much percentage of the map you are moving units on (moving=move or attack command)

Those curves work on a 8x8 grid placed over the map, whatever the size of the map. So it's a rough percentage, but it's good enough.

The first curve is a growing curve, like resources, because we dont know if buildings were destroyed.

The second curve is more like APM, because we consider unit movements only. To see that curve you need to check the "Units" check box. Also you can set the curve style (flat, dynamic, etc).

It's quite fascinating to see that on some pro replays, guys are sometimes moving units on almost 50% of the map. Considering a lot of the map is not even usable to place units (cliffs, water, rocks, etc), 50% is impressive.

Too bad I dont have my site on to explain how the computation of the curve is working.

Cheers
JCA

Snapshot showing "Map Coverage" curves and the animated map at a moment where XiaOzl seems to be moving his armies all over the place, while GoOdy is adding buildings in many places too. You can see all the blue dots on the map where XiaOzl is moving units, which corresponds to the peak in his red curve:

Interesting addition.

However, I found a bug. On the apm+hotkeys chart the very flat- very dynamic tab does nothing while it works fine on the normal apm chart. It seems as if it it takes the settings from the normal apm chart without properly showing which setting it uses and ignoring it when you attempt to change it. It worked normally in the previous version.

BWChart is indispensable. Awesome app. Map coverage seems like a pretty interesting feature.

In the new APM + Hotkeys chart though I can only see the first player. Does anyone know how to view the others?

Doubleclick the name of the player that is showing to disable that player, keep doing this until you get the one you want. I think it sorts them based on apm so it will always shows the player with the highest apm that is not disabled.

i like this version alot better.
wats the most improved feature is the BO analyzer. Before it used to be like 10 builds max or something, and sometimes the BO was wrong... this time its very detailed and right gj!

I think the only way is to open up the replay with bwchart and then select the "resources" chart. On the far right of the chart you can see which player left first (it's marked by the word "Leave"). If the loser of the game saved the replay it won't say "Leave" so there's no way to tell there.
