Amazing. I bet Sayle would hate it though! (The replay part)
|
This looks like it could be promising. It's good to see some BW-related development  . I particularly like the hotkey manager: I use a Dvorak keyboard, and it's a huge pain to switch layouts to play BW.

hell we're already blue and white

O_O
This is really great, going to go try it out right now!
|
I want to try using this to cast. I don't know if it a positive or if it is too much, but it looks too good to not at least give it a shot.
|
This looks almost too good to be true O_O
I really need to get to sleep now, but I'll definitely play around with this first thing in the morning
|
This is fucking dope.
I'm trying it out right now.
I knew this would come.
|
Wow, amazing
But I kinda dislike "Hotkey manager" thingy :/
|
OK, so I tried it and it works great. I mean, this has upped my replay viewing experience by like 500%. (and I finally know how many SCV's to build per base, lol)
The only thing that I have to say is that I had a bit of trouble with the windowed mode, so I disabled it. Basically what happened was that I was playing around with the buttons and somehow ended up making it taller than my monitor so I am now unable to see the top bar to change the windowing again. This might be an issue but I was never planning on using windowed mode so for me it doesn't matter too much, I'm just pointing it out for you to know.
Also, if you are thinking of features to put in, maybe an ability to hop to a certain part of a replay by clicking on the progress bar, I mean I just hate how you can't rewind it. I'm not sure it this is doable or not, it's just something I'm throwing out there.
But so far, all the features are great. I commend you, Mars_Quirinus, for your great work. Good luck with this project, I'll definitely be using this.

Sick sick this is awesome! Multiple unit selection and player hotkey selection would be awesome too (but I guess there already are plugins for that).
Here's a mirror in case something doesn't work for someone.
Edit:
Also, our names are almost identical, I guess we both had the same idea. Cheers!

Not quite sure if those additional features are listed as a fluff or Mars is actually working on them, but either way, even though the game's fourteen years old, I also can't find myself too excited for them. The replay loader and its features are amazing though, so huge props to Mars!

Really cool as a replay tool, and auto matchmaking is cool. However, changing hotkeys just ain't BW. Neither is playing in a higher resolution. I guess if you make your own league, you can have your own rules where these things are ok. That wouldn't be too bad, although I'm sure people would have mixed opinions since no other tournament will have these rules, putting stress on other servers to either reject your users or incorporate your changes.
I would focus on automatchmaking as a priority. It sounds the most interesting.
|
If automatchmaking somehow fixes people from being unable to host games then we could potentially see a huge increase in BW's population.

Wow that replay interface... *_*...
downloading...

Our goals:
Create auto matchmaking plugin
User only needs to start launcher and hit search button. Everything else will be done automatically:
Launcher will search for enemy to match your skill level.
Launcher will test connection between you and your opponent to make sure the game won't lag(real connection test, not ping).
Launcher will solve problems with local ip-addresses and port-forwarding.
SC2TV implemented their server with autosearch engine a few years ago. Unfortunately, they didn't have enough time to support it. I'm happy to announce that now they are supporting our project. They consult us on different tech questions and will provide source code of their server (if we need it).
I'm excited. Please do this.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
However, you shouldn't let people change their hotkeys. Letting people do that is like letting people play fighting games with automatic combos. The fact that H and P are so far away is part of the game. If they weren't, microing two groups of mutalisks at the same time would be much easier than it is.
It will also force people to get used to new hotkeys, or play with a disadvantage, because you can change your hotkeys to a superior layout.
