I'm on ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS and I installed sc2 with Lutris.
I just installed scelight on Ubuntu through the https://snapcraft.io/scelight link.
I have both java 11 and 8 installed. scelight says it's using java 11.

Thank you!

Hey, sorry for off-topic, I don't have solution to your problem, but I have a question about running SC2 on Ubuntu.

Is it running well for you? I mean is the FPS fine and the game is not crashing randomly? Also are you playing on Bnet?
Is there a risk of getting banned due to that?

I am currently dual booting Windows and Ubuntu and I am using Windows only for SC2. I would be very happy to play it on Linux because then I don't need to bother with dual boot at all. I am just concerned about getting banned because I've read somewhere that Blizzard's anti-cheat was banning people for playing Diablo III through Wine. So I wonder, is it safe with SC2?

Can you try downloading Scelight directly from its home page (not via snapcraft.io)?

Hi Dakota_Fanning,

Thanks for your response. I initially tried downloading from the website https://sites.google.com/site/scelight/. When I run the Scelight-linux.sh, I get the following error:

+ Show Spoiler +

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/xml/bind/JAXB
at hu.sllauncher.LConsts.<clinit>(LConsts.java:52)
at hu.sllauncher.ScelightLauncher.setUserAgent(ScelightLauncher.java:116)
at hu.sllauncher.ScelightLauncher.main(ScelightLauncher.java:84)
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: javax.xml.bind.JAXB

at java.base/jdk.internal.loader.ClassLoaders$AppClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoaders.java:178)
at java.base/java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:521)
... 3 more

(I am not a programmer) I looked it up the best I could, and concluded that this is a java compatibility issue. It seems like scelight was written using maybe java 7. Apparently java.xml.bind was made obsolete since then. Current java 11 doesn't even ship with it. I learned that java 8 does ship with the module and I could tweak java 8 to use the module. I installed java 8 and changed Scelight-linux.sh to use java8 command (I made for scelight) instead of java command (the default command for java which all other programs use). The NoClassDefFoundError is gone, and it does launch (yay) and shows me the launcher. But, it automatically restores the Scelight-linux.sh and gets rid of the change I made (goes back to java instead of java8). It forces me to press RESTART with the restored Scelight-linux.sh, which gives me back the same NoClassDefFoundError. So I can't get into the replay analyzer and check whether scelight can parse replays when done this way.

All of my conclusions could be wrong since I know very little about programming.

This was when I found out about scelight on the app store.

I stopped programming in Java years ago (I write in C++ nowadays), but the way I read the error is as follows:
Line 116 tries to get a string constant from LConsts.java. It doesn't know how to resolve the class (if it helps, you could think of it as a "dependency"), so you get this exception. Possibly some packaging/run issue you've got there. The file is here though: https://github.com/icza/scelight/blob/master/src-launcher/hu/sllauncher/LConsts.java

You just need to tell Java to find it. How? I don't know anymore as I don't write in Java nowadays.

Workaround (not recommended): you could try to get strings from LConsts.java and put them in ScelightLauncher.java
, but I suspect these predefined constants are used elsewhere too, so you'll probably get an error again. I suggest fixing the real issue.

Good thinking there. What you did is fine, but know that the Scelight launcher repairs its own files if modification is detected.

So instead make a copy of Scelight-linux.sh, e.g. Scelight-linux-2.sh, and modify that copy to use Java8, and use that copy to launch it. Since the Scelight-linux-2.sh is not part of the Scelight app, that file will not be touched by the launcher.

Also note that since the Scelight-linux.sh script (might) change from time-to-time, you'd have to reflect those changes in your copy. To avoid that, the copy could just set the proper java binary to be used, and let the original script launch the app (which is kept up-to-date). This could be achieved by setting proper PATH, or alias or symlink to the java to be used.

Hi there!

I'm having an issue with Scelight. Not sure the steps I could take to help troubleshoot is as I've zero programming know-how but I'll do my best to explain. And maybe include a screenshot.
SO, when I've got the program loaded up and am going through replays the screen starts... tearing? The main window and everything just goes right to Hell on me. Menus, graphs, map images... everything. I tried searching through the thread for something similar but couldn't find anything.
Included is a screenshot of what I'm talking about.

Thanks for any help you're able to provide. Love the program!

I think this same issue has been reported before, see:

Hi Dakota Fanning,

Thank you for the suggestion! I didn’t think about creating a new sh. It is a super simple solution for now and it works flawlessly now! Next issue: it scelight says my apm is only 100 when I am pretty sure it’s 800. Haha just kidding, Thanks again!

Hi Fanning,
I am new to Scelight and for data-mining analysis of a large number of replays i would like to know if i can export the chart data (e.g the one seen in the image of this post) to a file. Equally important question: If not, is the chart data at least accessable to the developer version of scelight?

Greetings

Scelight does not support exporting the chart data, but since it's open source, you could alter the source to dump the chart data you're interested in: https://github.com/icza/scelight

Another option would be to use one of my other tools called s2prot (https://github.com/icza/s2prot) which can dump the actions of a replay which you may process further. It also has an API and you can access the replay data to make calculation (it's written in Go).

Hi, i see the latest news is from 2017, "supporting replays for version xxx". So allow me to wonder, if I can use this for the current Sc2 version?

Yes, you can! It's regularly updated within a few days whenever the replay format changes due to a patch.

edit: nvm I had to use the sha-256 checksum, didn't know.

thanks pres.sure
thanks daktota_fanning

edit2:
FYI - I found this thread only by:
- after countless laddering and having to rename each game manually including problems like "name exists already" etc
I usually renamed them: 11 PT+ <Mapname unchanged> (mode, matchup, mapname, number or perhaps date) needless to say it got tedious ->
- having prepared writing a suggestion to blizzard...
- then thinking about and looking for a starcraft replay helper at a search engine that would autoname my replays (somehow)...
- result led me to a link for us.battle.net/forum... about a user asking for sc2gears @blizzard 2012

SC2Gears Auto-save Question - StarCraft II Forums - Blizzard ...
us.battle.net › forums › topic
Apr 28, 2012 - 5 posts - ‎3 authors

- the post didn't exist anymore
- I then searched in the web for: sc2gears ...
- I found teamliquids entries
- I read through alot of sc2gears posts including your main post, and its open source present in 2015 https://tl.net/forum/starcraft-2/498255-my-present-open-sourcing-the-sc2gears-universe
- since I never heard of sc2 gears before I then assumed the support stopped! (not the first time I see something that I found in the web"storage" but stopped in 2019/20, for the current sc2 version...)
- anyways read through the open source forum at teamliquid and found "my "secret" project...
- this led me to https://tl.net/forum/starcraft-2/423280-my-secret-new-project
- I went all the way to page 13... and dakotas post from 2013 led me to this topic finally.

I don't know if this is helpful, I hope it is a bit, at least it's a "cool story"
- now it's 2020 and I can just say: Awesome job that it's still active. I don't know what it can do yet but managing my replays sounds for what I searched... it looks comprehensive for extra needs, certainly.

feedback:
- I wonder I never heard of this, seems to deserve alot more attention (either reddit, blizzard, w/e) but then I'm not too long in the active scene (playing to improve, and out of the game training and research), I was more casual before... so take this feedback with a grain of salt.

edit3: Question Time:
1) - How do I make sure the program is not interacting with the internet, unless I press "check for updates"? I'm using mobile connection sometimes (laptop and mobile). and the data volume is limited...
Thanks

2) How do I filter for "PvP" read: Protoss vs Protoss ?
- In Scelight, in my replay list (which is pretty big) tried the search: "PvP"
but it will also put me through the "Leagues" column... "PvP" for platin vs platin...
so this will not only point at unwanted PvP(Protoss vs Protoss) replays but also any match up that was in platin vs platin (pvp) like PvT etc...
- in other words I want to look at the list of ALL of my PvPs read: Protoss vs Protoss.
- Of course I tried the Filter "PvP", too.
- I could "filter out" any other matchup, but each time I reenter the program, doesn't sound optimal:
pvt OR tvp OR zvp OR pvz OR zvt OR tvz OR tvt OR zvz OR Z (pretty long, too, and not even counting in solo modes and team modes) (more filter not possible: i wanted to add "OR T" but then all went empty)
- Feedback: That's what I did with my personal replay storages previously: I looked for PP - my acronym for Protoss vs Protoss, and it was unique in my replay names.)

3) Is there a way to only load replays that are 1 month or fresher into the "list"?

I just installed the program and tried to solve it myself first of course, sorry if these might be nooby-questions and thanks to anyone for answering anything.

Latest news is from December 4, 2019. And Scelight doesn't need to be updated for each SC2 patch, because the replay format does not always change. It supports the latest SC2 replays, and all previous ones, back to the "beta" age before the official launch on June 27, 2010.

Edit: I just realized by latest news you meant in the first post of this thread. I don't update that with news, the up-to-date news are inside Scelight, or the same content can be found here:

That is quite the adventure how you found it

Unfortunately there's not much more I could do to advertise it. Many people just don't care, and many would do who don't know it, but I don't know what else I should do. Blizzard doesn't seem to willing to play a role here.

Answer time:

1. There is no option to turn off internet access. Scelight uses internet connection to:

Check for updates - negligible.
To fetch News content when launched, or when you open News from the Help menu. Moderate and one-time traffic.
To download missing maps, so it's able to present map previews. This is considered big traffic, as maps may be multiple MBs. But it uses SC2's map cache, so maps are not downloaded multiple times, and not once if you already have them. To make sure it doesn't use your mobile bandwidth, search the replays when you're on LAN or wifi, so maps get downloaded and they won't need to be again.

2. Using a replay filter:

Filter by Group: "Replay"
Filter by: "Race matchup"
Operator: = (equal)
Value: "pvp"
And that's all.

And you do not have to build the filter all the time. You may save the filter, and then you can load it any time.

You could say: that's still a few clicks to select the filter and repeat the search.

The answer to that is that you can attach replay filters to Replay Folders, so when you open them, the attached filters are applied automatically.

3. Well, partially. You may use a Replay filter to only list replays played after a given date/time, but you can't make this limit dynamic, e.g. you can't use "now - 1 month".

The replay filter could look like this:

Filter by Group: "Replay"
Filter by: "Replay date"
Operator: > (greater than)
Value: "2020-02-01 00:00:00"

This will list only replays played after February 1, 2020. After a while (when the result gets too long again), you may update the filter: change the timestamp to your wishes.

I'm glad you like the tool and find it useful. Spread the word

Let me know if you have other questions or problems. Cheers.

Tvm! I'll try that.
I personally like programs where I can turn auto downloads off or that prompt me, as a little feedback, but I'm just one person.

-One thing that came to mind yesterday is putting this thread link into your signature? Why not - but maybe you have your reasons. When you post into another thread here at teamliquid, everyone that reads your post will consider clicking the link.
-The second one, make a post at battle.net (general seems to be most active) and reddit (race ones seem to be most active) each month or so. From my experience people appreciate quality work in sc2 alot, if it's not about nerfing their race. Otherwise when people naturally have interest and ask around I'm sure they get guided here, again I'm not too versed on the scene.

Thanks again and I will ask some questions if I have, and tell anyone when there is the opportunity.

Hey, I've found that occasionally using the mass replay rename function, where it renames the files and then undoes the rename. Not sure if this is bug or user error.

Update: It appears that auto-rename overrides manual rename

So the "issue" is that if you manually rename replays that are in a watched folder, they are detected as new files and auto-rename is activated for those "new" replays.
