Thanks for that report. FTGL is something that I'm using to draw the text. I'm still on 10.6 snow leopard so could be that.
Be excellent to each other.

I haven't checked in at TL in a while, and look at this nice surprise!

Nice work, meatpudding, I'm glad the analyzer lives on!

A couple of things that might help: first, Blizzard occasionally changes the internal map format in any given patch, and I just had to reverse engineer it, so it will probably be hard to keep support for all previous patches unless you keep versions of the map editor around so you can look at a map's raw file, change it a bit and observe the differences and so on. Big shout out to the folks at Sc2mapster who started doing this kind of thing to try and make an alternate editor, I used what they knew to get started. Maybe they've kept up with the map format?

Anywho, I was never able to locate/decode the map editor's repository of doodad footprints, so that was actually a community effort. A lot of TL folks helped build the file, but I'm sure you can do it auto-magically. The trick is really decrypting Blizzard's data files. I always relied on StormLib and I'm not sure that can crack open everything.

And lastly, if you run out of features to work on (HA!) you can always grab stuff from my wishlist which grew much faster than I could work on the analyzer: http://www.sc2mapster.com/assets/sc2-map-analyzer/tickets/

Carry on!

Yeah, from what I can recall Snow Leopard is a 32-bit/64-bit hybrid OS, whereas Mavericks is straight-up 64-bit architecture.Wouldn't be surprised if it was an architectural change that causes the app to break, like I mentioned before.

The download link for windows in the OP leads to version a3, while a few posts ago version a10 is mentioned? Is there a way of downloading a more recent version?

I've lost all my data and I don't have access to a window's pc right now. But if someone has a newer version you can send it to me and I'll put it back up. Hoping to give you an update soon.

I have A7 but I think I saw people post images with later versions. If no-one else uploads, I'll upload A7.

Hey guys, in the A3 release it have the "resource" option, that measures the balance in the gas geysers. That feature was dropped a few releases later, it was generating wrong data? or was not that trustworthy?

The resource option was based on data from this thread. However I have never been able to confirm whether the information is correct. I might consider putting it back in the next release.

I'm pretty sure it was incorrectly calculated since even on perfectly symmetrical maps it often highlighted geysers on only one side.

I'd like to see the following changes eventually, if they're possible:
  • Change openness blending from RGB to HSV.
  • Add more openness colour levels (there's a value in constants.txt but I think that whole file is ignored).
  • Re-implement influence.
  • Remove "average openness"; it's a meaningless, misunderstood and misleading value.
  • For the height layer, maybe use different masks for each layer, e.g. something like this.

Keep up the good work!

I tried to check it myself for the new maps - waypoint - and the values were only misplaced, the geyser with more income was set as 100% while the other one with less income was set as 106%. I did some checking with 3 min mining only in 1 geyser per time and it seems reasonable. Hope to see the feature comeback later then.

I believe there is a bug that leads to main bases never being considered valid naturals for other mains, and if the analyser finds no valid natural for a main base, that main base is ignored for pathing calculations.

So I finally found the time to update it.

Download links: sc2mapanalyser

Updates:
+ Added vespene geyser balance. Apparantly some geyser positions farm slower than others. I haven't checked the results, but am just using the same values from the thread.
+ Added influence map. This was available from Dimfish's original version, I have added in a toggle to turn it back on.
+ HSV colour blending as requested.
+ Fixed air pathing.

So this should have everything that the previous analysers had, and should also be available to run on wondows and mac platforms. Unfortunately drag-and-drop does not work on mac. I have had some problems using SDL, it seemed like a good idea at the time. Right now there are less dependencies, but I think there are some more problems. Like for example this bug which stopped me from saving the image in the windows version for a while https://bugzilla.libsdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2705).

Anyway, if you find any problems with it, or have trouble to get it to run, just post in this thread. By the way, I have only tested it on older maps because I don't have the editor available at the moment.

Be excellent to each other.
