Well I just wrote this so that people could host games without having to go through the port forwarding process. It automatically sets your Game Data Port to 6112 is none is found and will forward whatever port the Game Data Port is set to as long as it's in the 6112-6119 range. Also creates a Windows Firewall rule because that can also prevent you from hosting.

Extract all files into your ChaosLauncher folder :o

The main code is actually in the Forwarder.cmd file, I have next to no coding experience in C++

Can you release the source code for people to compile on their own also?
Thanks

It *should* work with wlauncher but don't check Interop.NATUPNPLib.dll though. In the command prompt, do you see a line that says something like Opened port 6112 via UPNP?

@ xboi209, shortly after I installed the XLauncher, my BW crashes after the end of each game. So after I win / lose, and go to score screen, the game crashes - why?

XLauncher should be discussed in the XLauncher topic in the iCCup forums, this is different. Try double clicking on iccup.ini in your iCCup Launcher folder and under [StarCraft: Brood War], look for the line that starts with MainExe and at the end of that line, remove "ddemulate"
Also, do you mind telling me what OS you're on?
@hydrogg
Open the Network and Sharing Center and check if you're connected to multiple networks. If you are, that may be the problem because you have multiple internal ip addresses and the program does not know which one to forward but it has to choose one. You may also want to check if your antivirus is blocking StarCraft by disabling it and trying again.

It crashes no matter what now. With both icc launcher and xlauncher.

Error message: (this is what pops up when I play a game, after I quit the game)

StarCraft has stopped working.
