Resuming play at a certain point has been available for quite some time, search TL for SALT and you'll find maps where you can save and load.
Also, people in this topic are stupid, why whine about virus etc when the source code was posted? It's open source, it's obviously not going to be a virus.

It would also be nice to analyze replays with friends.
"Hey, I think I could win at 9:00 if I only did this"
"Really? Let's resume the game at this point and find out!"
":D"
":D"
It would be so awesome learning tool. And useful in tournaments too! So what, petition time?:D

The possible implications are even bigger than it seems, 2 players can grind certain unusual situations in game to perfect it, you can train 100 various ways to defend particular cheese or you can jump to some tournament game and play it out, even more you can judge and even critisizice some pro players play in their matches by showing different ways of doing something.
Blizzard banning players for using this program would be cutting their own leg, this tool provides more utility than whole battle net system when it comes to training. You dont need to play 100 custom games to learn something, you can perform an opening and start games after this when you only need particular segment to train.

This thread is equal parts funny, depressing, and infuriating.
It makes me wonder how much better the game would be if Battle.net 2.0 was just a bit more useful.
Go code shared replay viewing now. :p

I suggest that the mods put a tag at the top of the post that says that this has a small chance of getting you banned, even though I doubt warden is scanning for this and it would be stupid for blizzard to make warden start scanning for this. This could be a huge program, like game changing. I don't know because I don't really want to test it right now, but could i take someone elses replay and play it or does it have to be the 2 original players?

SALT requires you to save the game before you can load it again. if you DC, i doubt you'll have the opportunity to save it

Yes, it works on other peoples' replays. I haven't tried it but presumably you could jump into games from MLG, for example.

Threads like this prove that the community could build a better bnet than blizz.

Sick first post, glad you've shown all of us that it can be done.

You should post it on the Bnet forums so it may catch Blizzard's attention. Then they might see that they should make something similar. (after closing the thread ofc, cuz ur posting 3rd party programs :D, but at least u get their attention)

Dont worry it probably already cought their attention

I would like to see a tournament use this for disconnect games!

By the way, you can test this in Guest mode as well (Single Player > Play vs AI), works fine. So you can test without worrying about getting banned by Warden etc...

It's getting all paradigm shifty up in here
