It looks you're running Sc2gears version 12.5. There has been a hotfix 12.5.1 release fixing player name handling with clans. Update your Sc2gears, and it will work fine. | ||

Anyways while I don't want to offend anyone I want to say that I really have no idea how that tool could help me as a starcraft2 player. I searched quite a while and on some features I think people would love to read your idea behind that feature - similiar to what Blizzard posts when they release patch notes ("thoughts on patch#...") they also post big blogs for Diablo3 - to explain why they do this and that. They always make me shine brighter afterwards. The descriptions in sc2gear are realy good, and yet they miss the personal touch on why or for what a specific tool is made - it's not obvious for everyone (there are new players to very experienced players, everything). Feedback on Mouse Practice Tool: I read you are going to add more colours for the mouse accuracy check tool in the custom mode, I suggest A+leftclick (not hold key) and strg/shift + leftclick (hold key) as modifiers (similiar to leftclick and rightclick) Feedback on High Score list: Atm the highscorelist includes all highest scores. In my opinion this is bad and it should only list the highest score of each participant not all his highest scores. One reason is there are some dudes who fill this list with 5 to 10 of their scores. A highscore list should show the best people in right order but not spam the list with each of their scores... I usually include the "personal touch" in the list of new features and changes in the first post as examples, although they do not cover everything obviously (eventually I'm a developer, not a writer). Also reading the first post now would require a full day or so... Returning to the Mouse print recorder. This feature is more of an interesting feature rather than a tool to help you get better. But you can ready many things from a mouse print which you can use to improve your play. For example you can see how frequently a player uses the minimap and the command card with mouse. If you see many lines running to the left bottom corner (minimap) and back, that's an indication of the player frequently using the minimap with mouse, which is a good thing. If you see many lines running to the right bottom area (command card) and back, that's an indication of the player frequently issuing commands by clicking on the command bar items, which is a bad thing, since all of them have a hotkey which are more efficient to use. You can also see from a mouse print how frequently a player scrolls the map with the mouse using the side scrolling feature (moving your mouse cursor to the edge of the screen). Another thing you can read out is the unit selection habit of the player (e.g. using mouse boxing units from top left to bottom right or bottom right to top right etc.). Since mouse prints also record time stamps (not just positions/locations), you can also read out time-related information from a mouse print like average mouse speed, mouse idle times (this is also visualized with filled black circles). These are just examples. A research on the topic would reveal a lot more things and would be very interesting and informative. For example here is one of my mouse prints: (click on it for large size) ![[image loading]](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-qupYSAqTSYU/UStDAocb2ZI/AAAAAAAAuwM/ROlDbM_svco/s1680/13-02-25+01-29-58.png) Some facts from the image you can easily read out:
Mouse print details: (copied from the Info tab in the Mouse print recorder window of Sc2gears) File name: F:\SC2 Archive\Mouse prints\13-02-25 01-29-58.smpd File size: 86,727 Bytes Recording length: 0:12:14 Recording start time: 2013-02-25 01:17:44 Recording end time: 2013-02-25 01:29:58 Image width: 1680 pixels Image height: 1050 pixels Image resolution: 96 dots/inch 37 dots/cm Sampling time: 1 ms Total mouse distance: 538,375 pixels 467.34 foots 142.45 meters Average mouse speed: 733.05 pixel/sec 7.64 inch/sec 19.40 cm/sec Number of samples: 57,239 Uncompressed data size: 173,350 Bytes Saved with compression: BZip2 Mouse prints are saved in a file format of SMPD. I created this new file format and published it here: Mouse print recorder. The format is a rather simply binary format. This open specification makes it possible for others to write tools to read SMPD files, analyze them and show trends like how your mouse speed, accuracy and other properties improve and your habits change. The Mouse print recorder window shows you basic statistics calculated from an SMPD file (see the Info tab in the Mouse print recorder window.) An advanced analysis can also pair the mouse print with the replay (which was played while the mouse print was recording), and can provide game analysis we don't even think of today (e.g. reactions to certain situations in the game). A saved mouse print is able to give you the mouse location and movement information during a game which is not recorded in replays! The possibility of future SMPD analysis tools suggests to (auto) record all your mouse prints and keep them for later analysis purposes... | ||

Blizzard keeps changing their APM calculation almost from patch to patch, and they also keep the algorithm hidden/undocumented. I documented the Sc2gears APMs (and their calculation) quite well here: APM Types The page also includes a comparison table of Sc2gears and Blizzard APMs (current Blizzard version not yet included). | ||

I also don't do PHP which netwars.pl seems to be written in. I'm available for Java and Go programming. Price also depends on the details and on how much free time I have (how much time I have to draw from my other works and activities). | ||

I often hang around after the game, shooting up buildings or alt-tab without exiting so a lot of my replays end up having incorrect data. Some charts already support calculating and displaying statistics up until a certain point, which is the marker which you can set/place by clicking on the chart at any point/time (and also by selecting an action in the action list below the chart). For example if you select the Builds/Tech Stat chart, by default it counts and displays the different entities (units, buildings, abilities etc.) for the whole game, but if you click at the 10-minute mark for example, the chart will change and show you entities only up to the 10-minute mark. The Action distribution chart and APM redundancy chart work the same way. The Main building control chart has an option: "Calculate until time marker" which if selected will do exactly the same. The Map view chart does the same, but to tell the time you want it to show buildings up to, you have to use the action list because the Map view chart does not have a time axis. The Resources spent and Produced Army/Supply charts will do this for you by nature if you select the "Cumulative" chart option. The Productions and Player selections charts display information of an instance in the game, they do not accumulate data from the preceding time, so the already work the way you want, just click at the time you want to see these data. You can also use the Animate feature to animate through time and see how the data and the charts change over time. Below the chart on the right there are the control buttons of the Animator, just click on the Play button to get started... | ||

Did they release any explication on what they're couting ? because on the exact same game, a guy has 146 apm for sc2, and 80 for sc2gears. That doesn't makes any sense to me (and I hate not having the highest apm in a game :D) | ||

Is it somehow being affected by patch 2.0.0 or 2.0.4, or have you actually changed how EAPM are measured? Is this some sort of glitch? @oGoZenob: The newest Blizzard measurement seems to be completely out of whack, utterly buggy. I thought someone (I think it may have been either DAy[9], CatZ or Grubby) said something recently about their APM being displayed in the HotS score screen as being something like 12000 (maybe it was very high but not so extreme) in one game, or at least something humanly impossible. My APM has never before averaged in the 300s yet 2.0.4 WoL seems to think I'm doing about 280+ when playing any better than lazily. Just don't trust Blizzard's measurement. Even if you liked the idea of trusting it, don't do it right now, because the numbers don't even seem reliable, never mind the methods. | ||

At a glance, I didn't notice any change to this mentioned and I don't see any new comments about it, but suddenly my redundancy has shot up from 18-25% to 30-39%, in the SAME REPLAYS, even older ones. Looking at replays I'd previously viewed in SC2Gears, the redundancy percentages have all shot up (~60% increase) and the EAPM down. Is it somehow being affected by patch 2.0.0 or 2.0.4, or have you actually changed how EAPM are measured? Is this some sort of glitch? No, APM/EAPM calculation was not change in Sc2gears, and I didn't notice it would be different from values calculated by previous versions. I don't see any reason 2.0.4 patch would suggest this either. I also checked a few "old" replays with Sc2gears 12.4.1 and with Sc2gears 12.5.1, and the same APM values were calculated, no difference at all. | ||

Just like the right numbers! Maybe they'll change it (Blizzard's method) and it'll seem stable and more realistic. Maybe you mean you like big numbers for your own APM though. ;P @Dakota_Fanning, I sent an email to iczaaa@gmail.com with an old replay. I know the redundancies were the same as they used to be when XAPM came in and I believe it has only changed this patch update (sc2gears patch). | ||

Sc2gears 12.4.1 and Sc2gears 12.5.1 give the same APM and EAPM values. The change in APM calculation was introduced in Sc2gears version 12.0 when the replay parsing engine was upgraded to read out a lot more info from replays including a FAILED flag reported by SC2 associated with actions meaning that the action was due to spam. This is the case for example if you hold down a command key to train a unit for example. These FAILED actions are excluded from EAPM because they do not require additional actions from you, just to hold down a key. You can read the details here: Version history | ||
