leider kann ichs hier nicht quoten da zu viele grafiken enthalten sind

TAKE A LOOK


edit : ich probiers mal step by step


OK, here's a post I made on TL.net last week. cYaN asked me if I could put it on GG.net too, so here we go !

Too many times have I seen the same questions asked again and again : "I can't watch old replays", "how do I add a server", "I need a NoCD launcher", etc... Every time, the same answers are given and it's becoming to be tiring.
So here's a list of StarCraft utilities that will hopefully make your life much easier while giving a break to the people who answer those questions. I've split this list into different sections :
* Launchers and Patchers
* Replays
* Maps & Map-making
* Misc

REMINDER : most of these tools can be found in the Downloads section of http://www.bwprogrammers.com (except for the Map-making ones who will be found on http://www.staredit.net instead). I'm not making some advertisement for BWP but I find it quite convenient to have a place for all this kind of tools.

REMINDER #2 : most (if not all) of these tools run on PC, not Mac. Sorry guys !


Launchers and Patchers

Official patches

Broodwar Patches
starcraftyh5.png
StarCraft (Vanilla) Patches
Author : Blizzard
Version : from 1.07 to 1.14
Description : the official patches by Blizzard. It does not contain patches older than 1.07.

No-CD launcher
Sorry, but this is illegal. Blizzard didn't use that kind of protection for nothing. You might want to take look at Daemon Tools which is a utility that can emulate a CD from an ISO image.

SC Extension (aka BWLauncher)

Homepage
diskfb5.png
Download
Author : Ashur
Version : 3.014
Description : SC Extension is a launcher that enables various features INSIDE StarCraft :
[*] Saving and displaying text messages inside the replay of your game (RWT)
[*] Saving mouse actions inside the replay of a game, allowing you to see it with a first-person point-of-view (FPREP)
[*] Display live APM during replay of FPREP

Mini SC

Author : BSW_Rama
Version : 1.13f
Description : (I don't know how legal this is... given there are so many topics on the subject, I thought it was OK to put it into the list too. But if there's any problem, don't hesitate to tell me and I'll remove it) This is a ripped version of SC. The idea was to get rid of unnecessary resources in the StarCraft files to optimize its size. So say goodbye to music, menu backgrounds, campaigns, single player mode, etc... The only things you can do is play Multiplayer games or watch replays :P But that's the price to pay to have a 20 MB StarCraft install file ! WARNING : it is really version 1.13f, so you need to patch it (using the official patcher or the 7x patcher) to get version 1.14. Some topics on TL.net discuss it :
How to use/patch it (very simple but useful topic)
Another version of Mini SC (I haven't tried it)
WARNING #2 : it doesn't seem that Mini SC works on B.net (which is quite understandable given the type of protection Blizzard put into place in 1.14). Thanks to Vin[MBL] for the info.

Old executables
diskfb5.png
Download
Author : Blizzard :P
Versions : 1.09b, 1.10, 1.11, 1.12, 1.13
Description : old executables for StarCraft. Very useful if you want to watch old replays (which won't work most of the time with the latest version of SC). Which brings us to...


Replays

BWChart
houseby9.png
Homepage
diskfb5.png
Download

Author : JCA
Version : 1.03G
Description : BWChart is the tool that created the notion of APM (Actions Per Minute). It is a graphical tool that draws charts from replays, helping you to analyze it : what kind of action was taken and when, number of units created, hotkeys, etc... It even has Build Orders. There's also a file browser for your replays but since BWChart wasn't updated since October 2003, it is unable to find the correct version for replays 1.13 or 1.14 (stops with 1.12). Must have anyway.

ReXplorer
houseby9.png
Homepage
diskfb5.png
Download

Authors : Chrisbk and Taiche
Version : 2.0.2
Description : ReXplorer integrates itself in your file explorer, adding custom actions to .rep, .scm and .scx files. Here's a list :
[*] Custom tooltips, diplaying APM, players names, map name, game length, etc... for replays, or map name, size and tileset for maps.
[*] Lets you load your replay into StarCraft in 2 clicks. It even allows you to customize and choose the version of SC you want to launch.
[*] Generates minimaps from either maps or replays. You choose the size of the image (from 16x16 to 4096x4096, which is the real size of a map like LT), the compression rate and the details (resources, starting locations, units, etc...)
[*] Extracts maps from replays and saves them in your maps directory in 2 clicks. Also works with drag-and-drop if you want.
[*] Adds a new tab in the "Properties" of .rep files
[*] Allows you to see text that was typed by players for RWT.
[*] Adds new columns in the "Details" view (map name, game version, game type, game name, etc...) so that you can actually sort your replays using these criterias.

Homepage
diskfb5.png
Download

BWRepInfo

Homepage (in Russian)
diskfb5.png
Download
Author : bottleneck
Version : 1.01a
Description : This is where EAPM (for Effective APM) comes from. The author used an algorithm of his own to remove so-called useless actions like hotkey spamming, right-click spamming, etc... Arguable but useful anyway.

AdvBrowser
diskfb5.png
Download
Author : Smk
Version : 1.2
Description : I haven't ever used this tool but it looks like it's a very advanced replay browser that runs into StarCraft. If someone has a better description, let me know : I'll be glad to put it here :D

Maps & Map-making

WARNING : I'm not much of an expert in map-making. So if you want more info and more tools, please visit StarEdit Network (SEN), BroodWarMaps.net and Maplantis. These sites have what you're looking for :P

ScmDraft
houseby9.png
Homepage
diskfb5.png
Download
Author : Suicidal Insanity
Version : 0.7.3
Description : a third-party map editor for StarCraft, ScmDraft allows you to do much more advanced stuff than StarEdit. I do believe it is used by the guys at Mapdori.com to make the pro maps.

StarForge
diskfb5.png
Download
Author : Heimdal
Version : 2.2
Description : another third-party map editor. Looks like it was very popular at some point in time, I don't know how much it's used nowadays.

Xtra Editor 2.5
diskfb5.png
Download
Author : General Mengsk
Version : 2.5 ; apparently there's a patch to 2.6 but it appears to be somewhat buggy.
Description : same as above, except that this is not an editor in itself. It mods the original StarEdit editor.

Uber@tion
diskfb5.png
Download
Author : LegacyWeapon
Version : 3.0.0.2a
Description : one of the most famous (and used) map protector out there. Again, I believe the map-makers at Mapdori.com use it.

Pro Maps pack

Homepage
diskfb5.png
Download
Author : Mapdori.com
Version : N/A
Description : this is a compilation I've made of all existing pro maps. It might contain errors or ommit some maps in which case don't hesitate to tell me and I'll update the pack as soon as I can.


Miscellaneous

Player vs Player Gaming Network (PvPGN)

Homepage
diskfb5.png
Download sources or Download Windows binaries
Authors : PvPGN Team
Version : 1.8.0
Description : PvPGN lets you install and configure a private server for Blizzard games. It supports various games like StarCraft, Warcraft 3, Diablo 2. It's quite tedious to configure but very customizable.

BW AI Project
houseby9.png
Homepage
diskfb5.png
Download
Authors : Entropy and Bajadulce
Version : 3.1
Description : players have always complained about the original AI. Therefore, Entropy (aka Physician on most SC forums) tried to enhance it using some scripts of his own. He was helped in this task by Bajadulce and it appears that the AI is now quite competitive... give it a try !

SC Cd-Key Changer
diskfb5.png
Download
Author : kmx
Version : 1.0.0.5
Description : SC-CD Key changer is the saviour of all our SC Cd's. The Program offers the ability to change your cd key without having to re-install Starcraft.

Evolution Forge
houseby9.png
Homepage
diskfb5.png
Download
Author : Clemens Lode
Version : 1.62b
Description : (from Physician's GG.net news post) The program simulates an abstract StarCraft:Broodwar environment and calculates the time a certain build order needs. By comparing different build orders, randomly changing them and taking the best build order for the next generation, the build order is improved step by step.

Battle.net Auto Login
houseby9.png
Homepage
diskfb5.png
Download
Author : homebrew89
Description : If you ever get sick of typing your password every time you log in to Battle.net, then this program is for you. Battle.net Auto Login automatically logs you in to Battle.net with the nickname and password you specify.

Battle.net Friend Follow
houseby9.png
Homepage
diskfb5.png
Download
Author : homebrew89
Description : If you like to follow your friends as they join games, you probably get sick of copying the game name, character by character, into the join game box. With this program, whenever you see the familiar "Your friend (blank) joined..." message, all you have to do is right click.

Replay With Audio (RWA)
houseby9.png
Homepage
Author : JCA
Version : 1.00S
Description : WARNING This program is outdated and won't work with StarCraft > 1.11. Basically, the idea was that people could comment a replay and this program will record the audio as MP3 directly inside the replay. An alternative for newer versions consists in recording your comments using some dedicated software like Audacity and play the audio separately using Winamp or other MP3 players while the replay is running in SC.


Phew... I finally come to the end of this post. Kinda boring stuff but I hope it helped (and will help) people :P Of course, I will edit this post as soon as possible if there are errors to be fixed, tools to add, etc... As you can see, the list is far from being exhaustive but I tried to enumerate the most common and useful tools.
Don't hesitate to post any (constructive) suggestion or remark ; I'll answer whenever I can.

GL HF :)
