Also would there be any way for someone who isnt streaming to be able to use it, just to see their opponents rank and such.

Hopefully next week if we're lucky :D (is my false hope )


Aw that's after xmas break :D kekekek. But 1 week isn't bad at all xD


Well thats my false hope it might be longer I am just guessing as I have absolutely no idea when rich will allow non featured streams to use it


Ah hahah i see xD


Also about violating the ToS, hopefully R1CH knew about it and worked around that, he's so good with this stuff that he probably dodged around that already.

I know this is a little bit offtopic, but does anyone know how to do the reverse? I've seen some streamers that have some kind of app that overlays your streamchat on top of starcraft, was interesting if anyone knew how to do that. :O!

The program just sits there and looks up your opponents bnet ID from the game and sends it to a script running on TL. The script then does all the work of looking up their stats on battle.net, using the SC2Ranks API to get more info, alias lookup / romanization and then finally it connects to IRC and sends the message to the appropriate chat channel. This way is very flexible as I can continue to update the program by just updating the script on the server rather than force everyone to update to a new version of the program.

Does the program read opponents' bnet IDs from the memory of SC2? If so, doesn't that violate Blizzard's terms of use?

I would also like to hear R1CH's statement does starinfo use some legit way to read opponent's name and bnet id (please specify how as it would help others making similar software) or does it read them from the SC2 process memory, which is against Blizzard's ToS?

Same here. Reading it from Memory appears to be the only viable way the get the info. But that seems risky to me.

Reading from memory shouldnt be risky.
Blizzard cant tell if you do it.
Thats now custom map hacks work. (or use to in BW) MasterOfChaos or r1ch did a post on that a while ago.

No, but if they know an app is doing it they can see if that app is running and ban you. I doubt that's what goes on though, more likely to be reading the temporary replay file or something like that, as reading from memory would require new offsets for each patch.

Hmm you could be right. But blizzard would need to mark the r1ch-es app as hack/malware or whatever.
